The next morning, after having a strange dream about Alex. I wiped the drool off, set off with my morning routine.

But it wasn't easy, I kept feeling apprehensive for some reason. When I tried getting ready my nerves were getting the best of me.

I kept dropping things. My toothbrush, the deodorant. While trying to eat my toast, it even slipped from my grasp a couple of times.

I needed to get it together. I mean why did I let his words from last night effect me this much. I could always ignore him but he seems like the type that wouldn't let that happen. People wouldn't go that far to get to know me. They always back off when they get to know my awkward self. He could be like all the others. For all I know it might have been just an joke.

Let me stop thinking too much on this. Cause I really need to make it to school on time. I hating being tardy, I already wasted enough time.

Getting my bag, keys I headed to the door and opened it. Walking out my door, he was standing there against the wall looking at his phone. I stopped in my tracks, that's when he noticed me. And we locked eyes.

" Oh hey ! What took you so long ? I was gonna ask if wanted to get breakfast with me. But it's late now so we could have lunch together, " he spoke all at once as he pull me over to him, putting his arm around my shoulders as we walked out the apartment building.

Everything happened so fast, my head was spinning. How could he become so familiar with me. I really didn't like people touching me but he wasn't forceful. But he taking everything at his pace while I'm still at my front door. Still very shocked from seeing him standing there.

" Why so quiet ? Are you feeling well ? " he asked when we were halfway to campus.

" Could you please let go of me, " I whispered to him feeling embarrassed cause I felt the stares of other people.

" Huh ? I didn't catch that, " he leaned closer to my face. Which cause me to push him off of me a little too roughly. If I thought people were watching us. They were definitely watching now. So I walk on ahead of him, didn't look back.


..........................

At the entrance of school, I felt a tug at my messenger bag until it came off my shoulder. Turning around, I kinda got irritated because I didn't want something or one stopping me from making it to class on time.

" You need to relax a little. Stop thinking on how other people see you. "

" Stop acting so familiar with me, give me my bag back, " I stated reaching out to grab it.

But he kept it out of my reach, making a little game of it which, it wasn't funny. I was pissed but he seemed to be having fun at my expense. And I made another grab for it but the distance between us became shorter.

It became uncomfortable, using this moment to take back what is mine. I did so, ran inside the building so fast ignoring him as he yelled after me.

But to my dismay when I finally made to the classroom, walked in to take a seat. He also walked in, took the seat next to me.

" Why are you here ? Do you even have this course ? " I asked.

" Yes I do, you just haven't noticed me until now. I am pretty sure we're gonna see a lot of each other as of now so you'd better get used to it, " he smiled as he pulled out an laptop from his bag.


Even though I was pleased the night before, kinda right now.


Somehow I just knew my bad luck tendencies were at work now.....




















I know this took awhile, I should've published it sooner, not have it sitting in a draft for almost a month. Truthfully I thought it wasn't that good. But oh well I put it out now 😉

Thanks for reading ❤
