Type, send, love

Chapter 2

Here's what's old
I love college. I, Lena Golding, love going to a ridiculously large campus and just sitting under a random oak tree. But if there's one thing I hate, and it's big groups. Which, unfortunately, I'm currently in. I made sure I had the most focused expression on as one of my friends, spoke about how her boyfriend kept saying the dress was gold and white when she saw black and blue. I hear these crazy stories almost everyday, I stopped caring weeks ago.
"That's so awful" I sighed out, fiddling with my fingers in boredom. "It's obviously black and blue" I added, even though I inwardly saw white and gold. "Someone understands me!" Said the blonde, raising her arms in the air. I don't hate them no, I respect them and consider them friends. But I'd rather talk about whether robin was batmans real sidekick or if superman actually weakens from any green rock or just kryptonite "...Len?" Said one of the five, snapping her fingers. I looked up and sheepishly smiled. "Sorry what was that?" I said, embarrassed that I spaced out. "I said, why not get yourself a special person?" My friend said, making me roll my eyes. I've never had someone to call mine nor do I want one. They're all complicated, weird and stressful. Not to mention they're demanding and jealous demons. "For the last time,I don't-" "want one" said the five girls in unison, cutting me off. I smirked and sat on the grass of our beautiful campus (that was sarcasm, it's not nice looking at people make out next to you). They followed my lead, and started a side conversation. They knew I'd never join their conversation, I only listen, never one to tell. They stopped trying to put me in their convos, knowing I'd never really take interest but I'm trying, so that counts? I pulled my phone out, (as usual) I was liking ridiculous photos of people's food or selfies, on Instagram. I rarely posted, but Of Course I posted a pic or two every once in a while, just to let my followers know I'm alive. Someone nudged me, making me slightly angry for interrupting my browsing spree. "What" I instantly regretted saying it as it came out a bit more venomous than intended. Luckily, she hadn't noticed the rude. "Mr. Lens fit at 6 o'clock" she murmured with a slight grin. I turned to look at the remarkably attractive guy that I hate for a reason. He flipped his wavy blonde hair and flashed his pearly white smile. He winked at me and sent me an air kiss as he walked by. My face cringed in disgust. That's Renold Rush, a very cute guy I'll admit but he's all Gucci Gucci for me. He had a terrible personality, Rude, obnoxious and no where near nice. He's that asshole that's in every book, movie, show...etc. Yet he was aiming for me? What? I'm still mind blown but very paranoid. Those guys are the ones that will act nice around a certain girl and destroy her after taking her V-card. Although, everything gets sorted out in movies, It's the opposite in real life. I don't want to grow old and while I'm looking out of the window, id remember him destroying my college life. I shuddered at the thought of that.
"You should go out with-" her question instantly died once she noticed my intense stare. "Ok ok! If looks could kill, I would be long gone" she joked, earning a small laugh from me. I got used to their teasing, they knew how much I resented the guy and they respected my hatred. I went back to browsing, knowing that it's far funner than talking and wasting breath.

I dare you to guess what im doing on my friday night.
Thats right. Im staring at my ceiling again. On a Friday night. Alone. Don't call me a loner! In fact, I've been invited to a hookup but I kindly declined so ha! In your face person. Oh my god what am I doing?! Im talking to myself again. I lightly pulled at my hair, debating on whether I was going crazy or not. Maybe, just maybe, my brain couldn't choose whether to make me sane or insane but instead I'm in between. I put a finger in the air and started to giggle. Oh, the things ceilings can do. I started to think of something to do. Play a game? Nah. Watch an anime? Already watched everything. Read a comic? Nah. Aha! Use my phone? Ehhhh, nah. I heard a knock on my door. "Len?" The voice of my mother. "Yeah?"
"Stop talking to yourself, we can hear you from the living room" she said, her footsteps were heard loud and clear as she left. Realization hit me, I must've been thinking out loud! Gosh, I should stop doing this. I counted my fingers over and over until I remembered something. Nyla had shown me that app the other day! Maybe i should give it a try. It was worth wasting time for. I downloaded the app as soon as possible and after a couple minutes of downloading. I logged in and (of course) i went to the search for people section. Wait, they should text me. Not me text them. Nyla was texted too so I will be texted as well.

<- Hi, I typed down to a random guy named Wes. Let's not forget, I'm no where near Nyla's level so let's not be stubborn. I waited anxiously for a reply, rocking back and forth. Right before I was about to give up, a loud ring was heard coming from my phone.
-> Hello :), replied the stranger. I might've squealed a little. I laid on my stomach, feet kicking the air.
<- How are you?
-> I'm doing great :) you?
This was getting awkward but I'll go on with it, it's not like they'll get to know you the minute you say hi.
<- Fine, Good actually thanks for asking
I started to panic a little. That sounded so creepy! And lonely! Thanks for asking?! Seriously Lena?! Crap, he's typing! What if he doesn't want to talk to me anymore? Did he notice how weird I am?! My life is officially over !
-> how's the big city of Toronto? :)
How does he know where I live?! Ok, Lena. Take deep breaths, you're getting too dramatic and you look stupid. I remembered that the app requires location so it all made sense.
<- it's cold, too cold to be honest.
Hey, I think I'm getting the hang of this! I put the phone down, deciding to reply later on. What great start to my all nighter Friday. I went downstairs to eat dinner. I ate with a smile on my face.

AN: two chapters in one day :o wasn't planning for it but hey, risks are meant to be taken.
Don't hesitate to ask me anything :D
