Suddenly, you | Completed

Chapter 2

Saturday passed by uneventful. I spent the whole day in bed. Didn't have the energy to do something else.

And so, skipping to now, Sunday night, nothing out of the ordinary is happening. Tomorrow, Monday, I have class and I don't expect anything exciting to happen. I'm just going to spend six hours sitting on a chair with no interaction or participation from my part in the lecture whatsoever. I should have big expectations, since is the beginning of a new semester and I was going to learn quite a few new things, but I had a feeling it was going to disappoint me once again. At least I'd see my friends again. "Friends". Two girls I'd met at the beginning of the year who were very nice to me and I liked them.

The problem - they were friends before me and I just third-wheeled and tagged along sometimes. I knew I had to get more involved, to be interested in what happened in their lives, participate more... But I wasn't like that. People had to approach me first for me to feel comfortable and sort of confident. I mean, if they didn't want to approach me and have a conversation it was because I wasn't interesting at all, right?

Anyway, as I finished preparing my books and everything for tomorrow, I thought about what I was going to wear. Not like anyone was going to look my direction or actually acknowledge me, so, why bother. But still, when it came to clothes, I needed to look nice. I needed to feel I looked nice.

When I settled for what I was going to wear, I headed to the bathroom and did my business then went back to my bedroom and plugged my phone to the charger. Thank God it was long enough to make it to my bed. I went on wattpad and read my stories until I fell asleep with my phone on my face.

When I woke up in the Morning, once I'd made my trip to the bathroom, I looked myself in the mirror and cringed. As always, I wasn't satisfied with the girl staring back at me. I was wearing skinny leggings, my pink Nikes and a sweater. Not my best outfit, I know.

When I was all set I made my way to the bus stop to catch the bus that would take me to uni. I was a freshman in university and today started my new semester. Nothing much to do, really. I got on the bus and took a seat, then got my earplugs and let the music consume my every thought, I spaced out. After 20 minutes I realized it was my stop and got off, then made my way to the lockers area.

When I got to my locker I opened my bag and searched for the tiny key. Once I opened it, I grabbed my heavy books and tried to close the door without dropping anything. I was surprised to say I succeeded. But then, something typical of my happened. I had only taken three steps when I collided against something -or rather someone- and all my books fell to the ground. At the very first second I had thought it was a brick wall -quite impossible in the middle of a hallway. But then I lifted my sight and came to find two very handsome golden eyes looking worriedly at me.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked me while kneeling to gather my things. I know I should be helping him, or just saying something, but I was a little shocked. I mean, if it had been any other guy I'm sure they wouldn't even had looked twice at me.

Then he got up and looked curiously at me. I was staring at him. At his beautiful eyes, his long eyelashes, his light brown hair, his cute nose, his full lips... Then he blinked a couple times and I remembered he had asked me a question.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine" was my dumb answer. Way to go, Nora.

He smirked.

"I'm Matt" he extended his right hand to shake it. This was so embarrassing.

I was so flustered that I broke eye contact and just mumbled:

"Yeah, um I, um I-I gotta go" and then I ran, leaving him standing there with his right hand still stretched. I was that stupid.

I didn't even tell him my name, or thank him for helping me. I mentally face-slapped me. Great way to start the day.

When I entered my class I took my seat and got everything on my table: pencil, eraser, pen, notebook, water bottle and phone. No one would text me, but if I got bored -which happened very often- I had my phone to play with. Besides, there was a very good WiFi connection here in uni.

Then my classmates started coming in groups, chatting and laughing at something one of them said, and I hear tons of 'Hi's and 'Good morning's around me -none of them directed to me. I know I'm not very sociable, but at least they could notice me. I'm sure you're thinking that I could take the iniciative and say 'Hi' first, but I already did that a couple times. Wanna know what happened? They looked at me weird and continued ignoring me. Yep.

And obviously, with my luck, the only ones I could call 'friends' -Mia and Stella- sat at the opposite side of the classroom. So I had no one to talk to in between classes.

Fifteen minutes later spent in total silence -from my part, our teacher comes in, starts the computer and the lecture begins. I start zoning out and not listening to a word he's saying, not taking notes either.

God, this is so boring.?

I look out the windows and see that it's started raining again and I don't even have my umbrella, let alone rain clothes. Perfect.

Half an hour into the class, there was a knock on the door. Whoever was at the other side didn't wait for our professor to tell him he may come in, he just invited himself him. And when I saw who stood at the door my jaw dropped to the ground. It was the brick wall.
