Secrets

Chapter Seventeen

Allana's Perspective

I woke up at 9 am, Cassandra's still asleep, so I went out to get mail.

The campus' post office is for all students from any hall, so, I saw Andrew, sitting on the step of the stairs, drinking coffee, and I have no intention of talking to him.

And then he suddenly sat up and looked at me.

" Hey!" he said.

Shit.

I smiled politely and said hello back.

And now we're talking.

" Hi!" he said

" Hello." I said without looking at him.

" Good morning. Gonna get mail?"

" Yeah, you? "

" Yeah. "

" How was your sleep?"

" Uh, good? I guess. "

He smiled.

" What's your breakfast?"

" Yogurt. "

" Flavour?"

" Strawberry. "

I frowned.

He nodded.

" You?" I asked.

" Just coffee. Just good ol' coffee. "

"Okay, Andrew, quit the intros. What do you want?"

" What makes you think that I want something?"

I looked at him.

" Okay, fine, you caught me. I was wondering what are you doing today?"

We stood on the doorway and students pass by us.

" Well, I'm going shopping with Cass today."

" Oh?"

" Yeah, you?"

" Well, Luke's not around, Matt is, I don't know where he is. I'm alone. "

" Well, do you wanna come?"

And then he lit up like a city.

" Well, yeah. I do. "

We need someone to carry the bags.

" Okay, after this, we head back to Sandburg, hopefully, Cass is up, then we leave. "

He nodded.

We entered the post office/student's mail thing room.

" I'm just gonna go get mail. " I said.

" Yeah, me too. "

" I guess I'll see you around. "

" I'll just be by your place, say, 1 pm?"

" Great. "

" Awesome. "

And I looked for the hall with a Sandburg sign, and entered.

I looked for the mailbox labeled- 7AD

Okay, there's mail for Beatrix, Beatrix, Beatrix, mostly it's BEATRIX.

Next time, I'm letting Beatrix get mail!

It's mostly hers.

Then I left the area.

Back at Sandburg, Cassandra was up and about, but she's jumpy.
