Dealing with the inevitable


After I landed in London suddenly on the airport, I had security escort me to a wide limousine and take me to university. I did not expect that.  all this was Luke’s doing and after I reached college and collected my luggage from the car I walked towards the campus dorms. everyone was giving me weird looks. like they were gossiping about me. I was a little intimidated by the looks and I opted to put my head down and walk out of there as fast as possible.

once I had unpacked and settled I wore a cap and a face mask to hide myself from the questioning looks of random campus strangest and walked to Bernie’s café  down the street .
I texted rose and raven to meet me there and ordered their favourites and got a far and a wall facing booth.

once the girls entered the small café they rushed to me and hugged me  like a teddy bear . I had tears in my eyes. I missed them so much till now that it made me realize they can never just be my security they were my best friends .

once they took a seat across me rose said wiping her tears “ we missed you so much this Christmas and new years , we knew you needed the break an stuff so we did not bother you “

"I miss you all as well honestly ."

"we need to go shopping for your Christmas  gift  soon  cause I know you are going to end up in a bookstore so we did not buy it first-hand ."raven said

I laughed cause she was right .

once our orders arrived the mood in the room turned serious

" why has everyone been staring at me ? "I asked hoping for not something bad .

they both gulped and looked at each other contemplating weather to tell me or not .

"so after Carmella and Luke broke up at the ball party there had been rumours of you being the reason for the break up like Luke has fallen in love with you and stuff cause of how Carmella reacted . "she looked at me pleadingly cause she knew how angry this made me .

"has any of his whore bamboos not asked him about the rumour? he could have totally shut them off by denying them ."

"well that is where the rumour turned wiled  he has not confirmed nor denied to anyone about you being the reason for breakup and he has warned every guy on campus to stay away from you  "

"of fuck …. I burned myself the coffee is too hot " I told them while my mind was somewhere else . he could have straight forward denied them I don’t get it why he wouldn’t and what’s with the sudden possessiveness like lockless monster vibes  .

"anyway we have a meeting coming up soon cause the heads are in their last  year  and almost done with their curriculum so the want to choose their successor  . As you know Luke and Jayson  they need to put in name on the list and they asked  rose and a student from drama department  and liya had a  conversation with me regards to if she could put your name in the list for her successor and your art skills are beyond reach then anyone ?." raven said 

what they hadn’t realized that I had been having an art block for a long time now even in art classes I couldn’t paint and what good leader would I be if my art block won’t go away .

"its too much to take up don’t  you think ? "I asked them. I just retuned I don’t want too much things on my plait again. staying away from trouble is the best I can do.

"I will think and let her know  for now I am tired from the god awful plain ride so I am turning myself in . thanks guys will see you tomorrow evening."

after that I walked back TO Dorm by myself while taking a detour to let my thoughts out  .

once I reached my dorm I closed my door and locked it turned around and switched the lights on and almost peed in my pants  cause Luke Williams the devil himself  was sitting on my bet with his hands folded with a passive  resting face like nothing happened between us in last 6 months .

"hello little lily we meet again "

I could feel the anger in his tone. I realized he must be angry cause I left him that day without his reply or giving him time.

I regained my brain processing power and replied to him as sarcastically a possible .

"don’t  you think you are abusing your power as future king by getting keys of a girls room and invading her privacy ? is this how you get the girl by scarring her and leaving her shell shock so before she could process how incapable you are and already before she could process  you have charmed her  with your ghostly approaches?"
