You start heading towards your seat but then turn around
The teacher looks at you confused
"Is everything okay?" She asks
You nibble your bottom lip and nod your head
"Yeah I..actually got my days mixed up"
You place the booklet what she gave you on the desk "I'm in this class today"
Without looking back you exit the room and rush to the toilets
Once you got to the toilets you took a deep breath
What's going on..
You took your phone out and called Tom
It went straight to voice mail
Other times you didn't bother leaving him a message but this time you did
"Hey I'm starting to get worried
You're not answering my calls or texts and now you're not in class
I hope you're okay and I hope we're okay"
You hang up and send him a text
•
You
Just please answer me even if it's Just an emoji
I want to know if you're okay
•
You're about to put your phone away when you get a text
Your heart skips a beat thinking it's Tom
But it isn't It's Alex
•
Alex
Hey how's class going
You
I walked out
Alex
How come?
You
My professor isn't in and I didn't see the point in staying so I said that I wasn't meant to be in the class
Alex
If you're skipping another class
Come back to the café
You
Alright, give me 20 minutes
•

"Don't you have class?" Sandy asks you as you walk in the cafe
"My professor wasn't in so I didn't see the point in staying in the class" you reply
"Ah okay fair enough,here your uniform"
She passes you a bag
"Thank you" you smile
"No problem, want me to get Alex from the back?"
You nod "sure"
Within a few seconds Alex comes
"Heeey skipper" he smiles
You laugh and roll your eyes
"Would you like anything?" He asks
"I will have an Oreo milkshake and some chips"
Alex stands there with his arms folded and an eyebrow raised
"Please?" You smile
Alex laughs "that's more like it"
"Small medium or large"
"Small please"
You get your purse out
"Put that back" Alex tells you
You look at him confused
"Why?"
"It's on the house"
You shake your head "no I'm paying for it"
"Your not" he replies
"Fine I'll tip you how much I owe you"
You're about to put the money in the tip jar until Alex takes the jar
You roll your eyes "Alex let me pay"
"I technically own half of this place so I can say wether you can pay or not" he says with a smug smile
You put your hands up
"Fine fine fine"
You sit down at a table
Alex makes you your milkshake then cooks the chips
Before bringing them over to you
"Thank you" you say smiling
He takes a chip off the plate and eats it
"Hey!"
Alex doesn't say anything but bobs his tongue out
You've known Alex for roughly 4-5 hours but it feels like you've known him for months
You check your phone to see if Tom or even Marie has messaged you
You aren't surprised when you don't see any texts off either one of them.
Aimee slides next to you
"Hey..so what are you doing tonight?"
She asks
"Nothing except nursing my friend who's got a hangover" You reply
"Sounds boring"
You shrug your shoulders "why do you ask"
Aimee's face lights up
"Okay right me and Alex are going bowling
At this sick place and I was wondering if you wanted to come with us"
You think about it for a second
You were kind of nervous to go out since the last time you went properly out you ended up getting spiked but this time you're going to be with people so you should be ok.
You nod "you know what sure I'd love to come"
Aimee squeals and hugs you
"Yay okay give me your address and we'll pick you up around about 7:30pm"
You give Aimee your address and she gets up and skips to Alex "she's coming with us tonight" she says in an excited tone.
"I hope you didn't force her to come"
Aimee shakes her head "no I just asked her..anyway my shift is over I'll see you at home?"
"Can't you stay with me till the others come on their shift so we can go home together"
Aimee groans "ugh fine"
•
•
You stay at the cafe till 5pm chilling with Aimee while Alex works and waits for the other staff to arrive for their shift
You told Aimee about how Marie has been acting weird with you ever since you came back from a guys house that you're speaking to
You couldn't really say when you came back from the professors house and at the moment you didn't know where you and Tom stood
Anyway it turned out that a while back her and Marie used to be friends a while back meaning before you and Marie became friends until the same thing happened between Aimee and her bf at the time
Aimee said that she only acts weird if it's someone who she likes it's this toxic jealous streak she has and for her being kicked out of the dorm it was all her fault
She said a few other things about Marie which made you shocked.
It felt as if Marie was living a double life
And isn't who she says she is which hurts because you've been friends with her for 6-10 years.
The part that stuck in your head was when Aimee mentioned Marie would only act that way if she liked the person so that made you wonder if she knew you and Tom had something going on
But how would have she found out?
Then it clicked the night you came back after you and your shower she acted all weird with you
Could she have gone on my phone maybe?
"I'm a few years too late but just be careful around her"
You let out a small laugh "I will"
"What are you guys chatting about" Alex asks
"Oh nothing just girl things" Aimee replies
You just smile
"I'm getting my coat and we can go home" Alex says while walking off
Aimee nudges you "saves you walking back I will give you a lift home"
You shake your head "'no it's fine I don't mind walking back"
Aimee puts her hand on your arm "I insist"
•
•
"Remember we will pick you up at 7:30" Aimee shouts out the window of her car
You smile "I know"
Both Aimee and alex say bye
"Cya guys" and you wave before opening your front door.
When you get into the apartment you see marie sprawled on the sofa "hey" she says
"Hi" you place you head up to your room to put your uniform away not wanting Marie to know.
You come back down and Marie's now sat up
"So how was your day" she asks
"It was ok...how about yours?"
"It was decent I finally got rid of my head ache" she replies
You nod "that's good"
"Yeah, so how was professor ellis?"
You look at Marie
Heart beating faster
Is she going to say she knows
"Excuse me?"
She moves her hands about "his class how was it"
"Ohhhh..he wasn't in today so I had a cover"
Marie smiles "fair enough..how come your back late?"
Why are you asking as if you're my mother
You let out a small laugh "wait do I have a curfew now?"
"Of course not it's just late you know so I'm just wondering"
"I met up with a few friends, we had coffee and a chat, that reminds me I'm going out with them in a few hours do you want to come" you ask
Marie shakes her head "nah I'm good"
"Right okay..I'll just go change" you say before making your way upstairs
That was probably one of the most awkward conversations I've ever had
By the time you had a shower put your make-up on put something more cute on clothe wise and made yourself a quick snack it was almost 7:30pm.
•
•
Alex
We're outside
You
Okay, coming
•
•
"My friends are here, you sure you don't want to come?"You ask Marie
She doesn't say anything she just shakes her head
"Okay ..I'll cya in a bit then" you say opening the door
"Bye" Marie says before you head out of the door
Alex was in the front with Aimee so you went in the back
"Hey" Aimee says "how was marie when you got in"
You shrugged "the usual"
Alex turns around "wait marie as in"
"Yes" Aimee cuts him off
You sit there awkwardly
"Damn I can't believe you're living with her"
You laugh "she's the one living with me until she gets another place"
"Oh right" he replies
"Anyway that's enough about her" Aimee says while smiling at you in the car mirror
She probably seen how awkward you were getting
•
•
After 40-45 minutes you arrive at 'Sheldon's bowling centre'
The outside didn't look too great which was concerning
The last place you want to be right now is a dodgy bowling centre with two people who you've known for less than a day
You Aimee and Alex got out of the car and made your way in
To your surprise it was pretty inside
There was a bar
A few stalls that were selling things like clothes
Posters and random bits n bobs
Everything Inside was neon
You looked at Aimee and her black eyeliner was now glowing pink
That's pretty cool
"I'll book us in" Alex taps Aimee's shoulder
Aimee nods "okay I'll get the drinks, what do you want"
"I'll have one of the fruit ciders" Alex then walks away to a different counter
Aimee looks to you "y/n what do you want to drink?"
"I'll just have a coke please"
"Can I have a gin a fruit cider and a JD and coke" she smirks at you
"Aimee! I just wanted a coke" you say in a joking tone
"Shhh" aimee nudges you
"Coming right up" the person who was behind the bar says
When the drinks come you take them and bring them over to Alex who's in a booth
Entering yours and Aimee's name onto the score board
"Where's Aimee?" He asks
"I think she's gone to the toilet"
"Okay,so before we start do you know how to play"
You look at him raising an eyebrow
"Are you serious..you're actually asking me if I know how to play bowling"
He shrugs and smiles "so do you?"
"Know how to play? Of course I do" you reply
"We'll wait till Aimee comes back because she normally goes first"
You nod "okay"
"What do you have?" He asks looking at your drink
"Oh I asked for a coke but Aimee got me a JD and coke" you roll your eyes
"Seems about right..she's like it with me when I don't have anything alcoholic"
You giggle "fair enough"
"Hey I'm back sorry I had to go for a leak"
Aimee picks up a bowling ball and throws it
She hits down 4 pins
"Damn it"
Alex gestures you to go next so you do
Surprisingly you hit down 8 pins
"Oh damn looks like you've got competition alex" Aimee says in a joking tone
"Oh wow" you say in surprise
"Your both going down" Alex says with a smirk
You and Aimee laugh and roll your eyes
Aimee whispers "he can be quite competitive"
You nod "I can tell"
Alex takes his turn and he hits down the same amount of pins as you
He comes back to the booth and has a sip of his drink
Aimee goes up but misses
"HA!" Alex shouts
Aimee puts her middle finger up
"Shut up"
Aimee and Alex then start having a bitch fit with each other you can't help it but laugh
20 minutes later you and Alex was both in first place which was pissing Alex off
Aimee found it amusing
"Your go" Alex says pointing to Aimee
"Wait, we need more drinks"
You shake your head "not for me"
In the space of 30 minutes Aimee had got you
7 different drinks and you were starting to get tipsy
Alex only had the one cider because Aimee asked him if he could drive back
Aimee was necking down drinks then getting you to do the same.
Aimee got up and made her way to the bar to order some shots
"You good?" He asks you
You nod and put your two thumbs up
"Perfectly fine" You say slightly slurring your words
Alex laughs
Aimee eventually comes back with a ton of shots
You shake your head "no shots I'm good"
"Yes yes yes we are having shots" Aimee looks at Alex passing him two "here you can have a few"
Alex takes them off her and necks them "thank you"
You get a cold breeze which makes you shiver
"Shit that was cold"
"There's an ice rink just down there" Alex points
Aimee's eyes light up and Alex knows what she's about to say and shakes his head "don't even think about it"
"Oh come on we didn't do it last time"
"No"
You look at them both confused
"What's going on?" You ask
"I was going to ask if you wanted to go ice skating but Alex rudely interrupted me"
"Aimee you're both tipsy it's not going to end well"
You take four shots before getting up
Putting your had out for Aimee
She takes your hand and you pull her up
"Lead the way to the ice rink"
•
•
You and Aimee ended up messing about on the ice and the odd occasion you guys actually managed to skate around without falling over
You were freezing because you wore a dress but
You didn't care because this was the most fun you've had in ages with friends
Alex came on the ice a few times and tried helping you and Aimee up when you guys had fallen but you'd just drag him down so he falls too
The three of you ended up laughing on the ice
For ages until alex got up
"If I stay on the ice any longer I'm going to pee myself"
He gets off the ice and heads to the toilets
"Omg my dress is stuck" Aimee shoots her eyes to your dress that's stuck in the ice and starts laughing
"Don't laugh" you say in a joking tone
Then suddenly the alcohol hits your bladder
"Oh no"
"What?" Aimee asks
"I need the toilet"
You try getting up but you can't because the back of your dress is completely stuck to the ice
Aimee tries to rip the dress off the ice but she can't
"I mean you could pee yourself and the warmth of the pee will defrost your dress from the ice" Aimee jokes
You giggle "don't because I'm so tempted right now"
Alex comes back with your phone in his hand
Why has he got my phone
"Y/n is stuck to the ice"
"For crying out loud"
He grabs your arms
"This is probably going to rip your dress but hold onto me tightly"
You nod and you grab him tight
He pulls you up and the bottom bit of your dress rips
You pout "please don't say your going to cry" Alex asks
"My dress"
Alex rolls his eyes "I did say it would rip..anyway here your phone went off a few times"
He passes your phone
"Thank you, I'm off to the toilet" you say
Alex nods and helps Aimee up
"Come on when y/n comes back from the toilet
we're going home..it's getting late and we all have work tomorrow" he says
Your phone goes off again and without looking at who it is you answer it
You-hold on I'm making my way off the ice and going to the toilet because my bladder feels like she's going to burst.
You put your phone away from your ear and make your way to the toilet and into one of the cubicles and take a pee
"Damn that feels good" you giggle
You then almost fall off the toilet but it makes you drop your phone which makes you remember you've answered a call to someone
"Oh shit, phone call right"
You-hello this is y/n speaking how may I help you
You say in a joking tone while giggling
-"y/n are you drunk?"
You-"pfft me drunk no never"
Who even is this
you ask to yourself
You look at your screen and your heart stops
Tears randomly start forming in your eyes
You-Tom?
