"I'll tell you, jail ain't no fun," Melissa spoke as her steps fastened instead of slowing down. "You've been to jail?" I spoke in disbelief.
"Once. In monopoly." I suppressed a laugh, sputtering like an old water faucet. "This is my stop, I'll find you before 12." Melissa waved goodbye as she made her way in the opposite direction.

As I entered the lecture, 2 enormous arms wrapped around my waist. And his head buried in my neck. As a reply, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.
I took a little peek in the hallway and saw the professor arriving. "Babe, let's sit down." I'd stay like this forever if I could, but time is a cruel mistress. I heard a little groan escape his mouth as he lift his head. I gave him a quick peck as if I had only that moment to live and on the empty seat where next to my stuff was lying. Professor Brown entered the lecture room I stole a quick glare at Jaydon when he sat down and slid his bag next to him.

The 2-hour lecture about counseling psychology came to an end people made a dash for the door. I quickly rushed over to Jaydon's seat a few rows behind me, and asked him if he wanted to head over to the storage room. He flashed a quick grin about to answer when a notification chime interrupted him. "Maybe later babe, it's just that the boys-"
"Yes of course, don't forge-" I felt a wet surface suppressed against my lips. When I realized he was kissing me, I wanted to return the gift but he ran off as he knew I wouldn't let him leave once I came to my senses. "See you at calculus babe."
I found my way through the halls to Melissa. As my eyes met hers, I didn't give her a chance to greet me. I got a grip on her and guided her through this labyrinth. Our final destination was the roof. The moment we opened those gates and found an open bench I started convert all my thoughts into words. I got so lost in my own words that I even forgot that Melissa was listening. "And it's just that he constantly puts his boys over me." I finished as I threw my hands into my lap.
"Babe I honestly am not getting why you still put so much effort into this. And why not say this to him?" she looked deeoply into my eyes trying to make sense of my behaviour. But how could I anwser her when I can't even do that to myself.
"It's Jaydon, Melissa..."
"No Aria, who you're talking about was Jaydon."

As I strode through the echoing halls with Jaydons hand around my waist, a certain electricity seemed to follow my every step. My confidence was palpable, radiating from me like a force field. Heads turned, eyes followed, and whispers trailed in our wake.
Girls exchanged furtive glances, their expressions a mix of awe and simmering envy. They watched as I moved with a grace that seemed almost effortless, my presence demanding attention without saying a word.
Boys, too, were not immune to my magnetic pull. They stole glances and shared knowing nods, captivated by the me who seemed to possess a certain unattainable allure.
As I passed, the air seemed to shimmer with a blend of admiration and resentment. It wasn't just my appearance, though striking, or her impeccable style, though undeniably chic. It was something deeper, an intangible quality that set me apart.
In those moments, as the sea of eyes followed me, I remained unaffected. I had long learned that confidence was my greatest accessory, and I wore it with unapologetic pride. Each step was a declaration: I knew who I was, and I reveled in it.
The halls whispered with the hushed tones of admiration tinged with a touch of jealousy. For me, this was just another day, a reminder that I possessed a power that transcended mere appearances. I walked on, a portrait of poise, leaving behind a wake of awe-struck onlookers, each secretly wishing they held even a fraction of my radiance
I turned to face Jaydon as I slowly leaned in and gave him a quick but long enough peck to disgust them.
"What was that babe?" His unpleasant surprised expression caught me off guard. "What do you mean? I can't kiss my boyfriend?"
"No, just doesn't seem like the time for it?" If he wasn't wearing that stupid football costume that guarded his face I might as well have punched him. "Oh right, cause when ever do you have time." I said putting more intonation on time.
"Oh my- Ari, I can't do this right now."
