Guide to a happy ending

Introduction

Hey! It's me. You probably don't know my name because i haven't disclosed it yet, to be honest I don't really like my name, it just doesn't go with my personality. I lead a pretty normal ife, with my parents and a sister, we live in an average sized house, it's perfect for our family and I'm content with how rich and poor we are. We are too rich to be poor and too poor to be rich, does that make any sense?! 

I'm the last born, so I'm kind of spoiled but not to the point where you become a brat and a bitch. I'm a nice human as long as you don't do soemthing to cross me. I can be vicious and let's leave to that right now. 

You'll find out more about me, as we move further, so it's time for me to get ready for university. Yes, I'm an art major and I love doing what I do, it's a small college because my parents couldn't afford the best one but I'm content with what little I have. 

So, I get up and after showering, change into my usual classy outfit. High waisted skinny jeans, a tanktop along with an oversized flannel. I let my chestnut brown hair loose, that reach till my collarbone, pick up my tote bag and glasses and leave my room, walking like a model that I'm. 

Here's a warning, I think very highly of me. No, I'm not a bitch, I just love myself and oh, I think, no scratch that, I'M perfect! 

My parents are porbably having breakfast at the table, while my sister is asleep in her room, since she works the afternoon shift, she's usually asleep in the morning. 

"Mom, Dad!!" I shout while descending the stairs, "I'm running late, I'll eat something on campus" I say as I lean on the kitchen door frame, "At least, have a slice of bread" My mum says offering me one and when I say offer, I mean she's glaring at me and she's not gonna let me go unless I take it, so I do what she says and my father drives me to college, it's a half an hour drive but it's on route to my father's office so it's no problem for him. 

As I reach to college, a series of "Hi", "Hey", "Hellos" begins as I make my way through the corridor to my classroom. I high-five a few people, wave at some and ignore those who are too arrogant to even smile at me. Some people are really rude, for no damn reason but I really don't give two shits about them. Oh, btw I'm kind of famous in college, there's no apparent reason why but I'm. 

I sat in my usual seat, in the back and save a seat for my friend. Before she arrives, let me tell you something about her, I met her on my first day here and we clicked because we were really alike. She liked the things I liked, had the same taste and we had fun judging others, 'cause even though, this is an art school, most people here are not artists and have zero fashion sense. Well, turns out Cassie is not so different, no doubt she's fun and everything but she lies, a lot and about very normal stuff, which bugs me. I mean I'm the kind of person who'd accept brutal truth over a lie. I hate, absolutely hate it when people sugar coat the truth or simpy just hide it, I mean what's the point of living if you can't even be honest!

"Hey, Marjorie" I feel a hand on my shoulder and I know it's Cassie. "Hey!!" we air kiss and she sits down beside me and gets busy with her phone. Okay, now you know my name! I know, it sound like the name of an 80 year old. I hate it, that's why I make everybody call me 'Marj', it's so much better than Marjorie, except Cassie, of course, she knows I hate being called 'Marjorie' and that's why she has all the more fun calling me that. She's lucky i like her thou. Idk what my parents were thinking! I mean it's not a bad name but with my personality it just doesn't fit. 

Mr. Finn enters and greets the class. he's the young professor, about 27 years old and even though he teaches us art history, which by the way is quite dry, we enjoy his class because he lets us. I'm chewing gum, taking notes and randomly scrolling through my phone, I'm a good student, almost the best in my class but what I'm really bad at is paying attention. I'm always distracted but I'm also always listening.

"Marjorie, could you explain what I was just teaching" Mr. Finn stops the lecture and looks at me, while I used my phone. "Call me Marj" I say as I put my phone down and sit up straight, gracefully and explains everything as it was. He's not amazed, he just smiles because this is like a routine, he tries his best to embarrass me infront of class but I never let that happen, even if I miss a point or two, I just confidently tell him that I zoned out. Like I said, I like being honest, even if it gets me in trouble at times.

After Mr. Finn's class we have a 30 minutes break until the next class starts, so we usually go to the cafeteria to gain all the energy we can to deal with our next teacher, who's sweet but kind of annoying. She's old, so she goes off track a lot, like she could be telling us about art and the next thing you know she's crying over how her deceased husband treated her. yea, I too feel bad for her but she needs to retire now because teaching is too much burden for her and listening to her is a burden on us. 

Cassie and I buy our lunch, I get myself burger, fries and a cold drink. Cassie only gets fries because she's diet conscious although she's the same size as me, only I'm a bit taller than her. Another thing I'm really thankful for is that no matter how much I eat, I don't get fat. Like I'd rather exercise than skip a meal or avoid eating junk, I live for that shit! If you ask me, what's the meaning of life, I'd say FOOD and I'd mean it!

I'm savouring my burger just when a seat is pulled and somebody sits on it. Of course, it's Tim! He leans in trying to give Cassie a quick kiss but she turns her face and makes a disgusting face. "Hey, Tim" I say to break the awkward silence, "Oh, hey! How are you!" Tim turns to me and we shake hands, while Cassie pretends to use her phone, completely ignoring Tim. Here's another thing I don't like about Cassie is the way she treats Tim.

He's a nice dude and I always question why does he let her mistreat him like that and he just shrugs, that's one thing I don't like about Tim, he's the sweetest guy I know, he might not be the most handsome or attractive guy, but he's not so bad either plus I believe that your manners and the way you treat others is far more important than looks. 

Tim is an average looking guy, he's almost the same height as me, or maybe an inch shorter but still taller than Cassie. He has short, dark brown hair that are always combed back in a casual way, his eyes are a light brown color and he has an innocent face, like really innocent that when you look at him, you can tell he's naive, which Cassie takes full advantage of.

Cassie is dating Tim, a shocker, right?! I mean she hasn't been completely honest with me about it because she has always been like 'I'm gonna date the sexiest guy' kind of girl and since Tim is not that, she likes to keep it a secret, even from me, whom she claims to be her best friend. 

Now you must be wondering how did I find out, so let me clarify that I did not stalk her. They just once got into a fight, Cassie blocked him so he messaged me and explained the whole situation, hoping I'll help him out since Cassie really listens to me and it actually worked but I didn't tell Cassie that I know about their relationship because Tim begged me not to.

So this is our usual routine, Tim shows up randomly, sometimes in the cafeteria or in the corridor, Cassie ignores him, we make small talk and then he leaves and they talk on phone. I once even said to cassie, 'I think you should date Tim, he's a pretty decent guy plus he'll treat you real nice' and she replied with 'Ew, I'd never!' EVEN THOUGH, I KNEW SHE WAS DATING HIM! See, that's what I hate but then again she's really nice to me so I can't hate her. Anyways, she's always on phone and I don't ask her who she's talking to because I belive in giving people space, if she doesn't wanna share then that's her choice. I don't share much either but at least I don't lie. 

The days passes by, since it's Monday and I only have like 2 classes, sometimes I go straight home or the other times I just hang out with people, other than Cassie. She sometimes disappear telling me I'll be back in a minute, don't follow me and i know, she goes to meet Tim but I don't point it out and just mind my own damn business. 

Today, I want to go straight home. I sit in the cab, put in my earplugs and just enjoy the ride back home.
