Make Me Yours

Chapter 4

Julia's POV

I sent a message to Seanne telling her to go to my house. I am not living in the dorms because we're living just a few minutes walk from the school.

But she just replied that she's going somewhere. She didn't tell me the details though. I wonder where she's at. Yesterday, she was not in the orientation and university tour, and she hasn't yet given me a concrete explanation where she was.

My phone rang and Jayden's name registered on screen.

I immediately accepted. "Hello!"

"Hey Julia, are you with Seanne?" he asked.

"Nope. I was actually wondering if she's with you. She told me she has plans today."

"Really? My Dad invited her to lunch, her Dad is coming too. But she declined... Now Uncle Sevy is asking me where she is and I can't give a decent answer." He sounded worried.

He and Seanne seems pretty close?

"Have you called her again?"

"She's not picking up." He sighed. "Dad had asked me too. He never said, but I think he's implying I'm covering up for Seanne."

I suppressed a laugh. "Don't worry, I will tell you once I got hold of her."

"Okay, thanks!"

"Right, bye-bye!" I hung up and dashed to my closet. I changed into comfortable jogging pants and shirt, and a pair of sneakers. Maybe Seanne's in the dorm. I can't think of anything else she'd be doing.

I can see that there are many students in school one day before the official opening. Well, that's how it usually is, we are feeling excited that the school is starting; but then once it's starting, we want it to end as soon as possible.

As I walk along the pathway to the Galathea women's' dorm, I saw some people lining up by the entrance of the men's dorm. Most of them are girls holding some sort of banner... Curious as I am, I went to have a look.

"Hi, what's up?" I asked a girl with an eyeglasses who is standing on tiptoes at the end of the crowd.

She looked at me and said excitedly, "Gian Madrigal is here!"

(•___•) Gian Madrigal?

"As in the Gian Madrigal?" I said in astonishment.

"No other," she said and returned to watching. "He's up in the boys' dorm, he must be staying here."

I knew he's famous back in junior high, but I didn't expect him to be as famous as this. Well, I haven't seen any of his game since I transferred, but I think, with a crowd big as this waiting for him, he's now more popular than before.

Another girl commented, "Too bad I didn't choose to live in the dorms!"

But my focus is now on my phone. If Gian is here, I must tell Seanne.

I dialled her number, and in a few rings, she answered.

"Hey Julia," she sounds irritated.

Wait, does she know?

"Seanne, you already knew?" I asked breathlessly, walking a bit farther from the crowd.

"Knew what?" She sounds agitated. Before I could answer, the crowd screamed with glee.
