everything

chapter 4

it's been a few days since the party. i've gotten to know the university a bit more and just everyone overall.

i'm currently walking to my first psychology class. i'm 10 minutes early so i just wait outside the classroom. as i wait i decide to text ella to see how she is.

"good morning!" i tear my eyes away from my phone and look up to see what i'm guessing is my psychology teacher. "good morning, sir" i say standing up with a smile. he smiles back and opens the door to let me in. i walk in and go to the front desk.

"what's your name miss" i turned around and look at my teacher.

"kayla"

"well, kayla, i'm mr allen. since you're here early just unpack your stuff while we wait for the others" he says happily. i like this teacher.

the class slowly starts filling up. half of the people look like they're about die and the other half look like there ready to learn.

"good morning class, lovely to see you so bright and ready to learn about psychology" he says in sarcastic
voice. "i'm mr allen and i look forward to reaching you this year...so let's get started".

15 minutes into the class, everyone's eyes is glued onto the projector until we heard the door open. it's ethan.

holy.

he walks in casually with a bit of lipstick? on the side of his face. he has his backpack on one shoulder. he's wearing black sweatpants, a light & thin black sweater. his hair was all messy. he had very heavy dark circles. he looked so tired. like he was going to pass out any second.

while walking he catches my gaze for a second until i turn away. he walks past me with no emotion and goes up to the desk a few tables behind me.

"erm, you're 15 minutes late" the teacher calls out ethan. he doesn't respond. instead he just takes out a notebook and pen.

"alright so what was i saying.."

class finished. it was surprisingly interesting. no one made any drama.

the rest of the day was pretty much normal. got lost a few times but got to my lessons. i met new people but i didn't really make any "friends".

it's been a few hours and i've just been in my room studying and completing all my homework. i sigh and fall into my bed as soon as i write the last sentence on my laptop.

i hear the sound of door open and bella and walks in along with her friends which includes; ethan.

he makes eye contact with me and this time i don't turn away. the whole time looking at him goosebumps appeared on my skin. i don't know why. something about him is so intimidating. he broke it of once bella spoke.

"hey kayla"

"hi guys" i replied looking at her. they all just say on bella's bed and went on there phones.

"wanna come and get dinner with us" bella asks politely.

before i even get to say anything ethan interrupts me.

"she can't come" ethan replies back with pissed of and serious tone.

"and why's that?" blair challenges.

"i don't want her to come" he replies with the same tone.

"too bad" bella says.

"for fuck sakes" ethan gets up and slaps the door. what the fuck what happened? why does he hate me so much?

"wow" bryce says surprisingly "what a show" he continues.

i just stare at everyone. i was just shocked. he was just being rude just because bella asked me to go out for dinner?

"so bella. ready?" bella breaks the slience.

"um yeah but i think i should just sta-"

"no way just come you'll have fun with us"

"okay"

dinner was surprisingly nice. we went to a nice diner. and ethan wasn't there which made things better. now me and bella are just walking back to our dorm. while walking, my mind shifted to ethan. i want to know why he's rude to me when i didn't do anything to him.

"bella, can i ask you a question" i ask impulsively.

"ask away"

"do you know why ethan hates me"

she suddenly stops and looks at me. she sighs. "ethan doesn't like to make new friends. which is ironic because he's very social. he goes out almost everyday, goes to a party, gets drunk, fucks a girl and leaves. and it's on repeat. he's just very guarded and doesn't like the idea of getting attached".

what she said to me wasn't really a surprise.

"is there a reason that he doesn't like getting attached?" i question. i know i'm getting personal but i'm just curious.

"ethan's parents got divorced a little over a year ago but he doesn't talk about it. he doesn't talk about his family. it's very personal to him. but also he had a girlfriend and she fucked him over basically" she says.

i just nod, turn forward and continue walking. we get to our room and i changed into my pajamas. "oh and kayla, please don't tell ethan or anyone i told you any of that" bella says.

"of course i won't" i say softly.

and i drifted away to sleep.
