I chew a gum, tap my heel and look around. Nerds are marching in a row towards university, their heads about to collapse into their fat-ass books. Boys standing under a tree, hitting on girls walking by with pick-up lines while the other girls are taking selfies in arguably sexy poses to attract the attention of the college bad boy, Samuel — with whom I got into an unwanted fight last year.
Everything is now under control, and we try to keep as far away from each other as possible.
In short, same shit, every day.
I walk up to the entrance gate and lower my sunglasses to read the golden glazed name— 'Aerilon University - Leaders in progress'
Leaders my ass!
I notice the guard on my right and toss my bike keys in his direction. He parks it in my designated spot in the parking lot for me in exchange for free cigarettes. I say, good deal.
Being a student for three years at this well-known university, full of — both idiots and scholars — was an adventure in itself. I look left and right for the dumbass, but he is nowhere to be found
und.
"Are you looking for someone?" a cheerful voice asks. I turn around to see a ridiculously attractive stranger smirking mischievously at me. I've never seen him on this campus before.
"I'm looking for an ambulance," I say. Raising an eyebrow at me, he shows his confusion. "Because, honey, if you mess up with me and have broken bones, I'm not going to take you to the hospital."
If you ask me, I'm always up for making friends who are as humorous and stupid as this guy.
His lips utter a silent chuckle, and he asks, puzzled, "You gotta be kidding, right? I- I must say, great sense of humor, bae."
"Firstly, I am not and will never be your bae, and secondly, you should fuck off right now and try not to cross my path again." I smile.
I turn around and move towards my classroom building.
"Hey! Wait, Clara." I don't stop at the dumbass's quaking voice behind me and walk into the 2A building, where we have Psychology and Medical classes.
A few students who are admirers of my god-knows-what wave at me uncomfortably, and I just smile back.
Tyler blocks my way before I can open the door for my class. "For God's sake, Clara. Will you just stop for a moment? Listen—"
"Where the hell were you? I stood in front of your house for half an hour like an idiot! We had decided to ride to college together today!"
