Chapter 5

I woke up to an alarm at 8:45am. My Collabing class started at 10:00am, so I had plenty of time to get ready. Bethany was already awake, getting ready for the day. I found her standing at the bathroom counter, applying eyeliner.

"Hey." I greeted her.

"Morning." She replied without looking at me. "How'd you sleep?"

I didn't reply immediately, I just looked at my phone which contained the note Joey had typed out for me. "I slept great." I told her.

"Good." She said and continued to apply makeup.

I smiled and walked to my closet to pick out my outfit. I went with a pair of skinny jeans and converse shoes and prepared myself for tonight's date with Troye. Even though it was later tonight, there was no harm in preparing early. Plus, I wouldn't have to change.

I texted Troye and said, 'I'm wearing skinny jeans and converse ;)'

He wrote back a minute later and said, 'I'm so excited!'

I giggled. "You ready?" Bethany asked me. I lifted my head and rushed to the bathroom counter where she was standing. I brushed out my hair and combed it out of my face.

"Let's go." I said, and we headed to breakfast. "Wow," I said as we entered the cafeteria. "It smells amazing in here!"

"Their breakfast is always amazing." Bethany stated.

"How would you know?" I asked, assuming this was her first year at YTU.

"This is my second year," She said. "I graduate this year with a degree in Cosmetology."

"You'll get it for sure." I said. "I hope to get a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts."

"Oh, I've seen your videos. You're a natural born actress-ooh, a bagel please." Bethany had cut herself off by asking for a bagel in the breakfast line.

"Could I get one too?" I asked. "Extra cream cheese." The server smiled at me and gave me what I asked for, then Bethany any I grabbed some drinks and went to our usual table.

"So," I started. "You're graduating this year?"

"I would love to stay for one more year, but my scholarship is only for two years."

"Same for me." I coated my bagel with cream cheese and took a bite. "Did they send you a scholarship or did you apply?"

"They sent me one."

"Sent you what?" Zoella said, joining us.

"A scholarship."

"Oh, that happened with me!" She said. She took a bite of her chocolate chip muffin and continued on saying, "I received one last year at the same time Bethany received one."

Bethany added, "We were room mates."

I nodded and took another bite of my bagel. A few moments later, Marzia joined us and I soon realized that we were our own little possy. Inseparable, a clique, the best of friends. I then remembered that friends were honest with each other, which meant Marzia would find out one way or another.

"So, Anna." Marzia started. "Felix told me." Her voice was quiet and she was looked at her legs.

"What did he say?" I asked, embarrassed. She found out another way.

"He started off by apologizing, then telling me the story." Her eyes was still focused on her lap. "I just want you to know that I forgave him and you should not feel bad. If anything, he feels the guilt like he's murdered someone."
