My Heart Skips a Beat

Apologies

The smell of pine and freshly mowed grass is what Josie first noticed when she stepped onto campus. Next was the voices of students as they talked about the classes they had this semester and other things.

She's been sitting in the lobby of the main building for what feels like half an hour. When she hears the clacking of shoes she faces the direction of the sound.

"Jo! We got our room! Room 315!" Lizzie squeals for the fourth time today. "Now all we have to do is get our stuff and be rid of mommy dearest."

Josie reaches for her white stick and gets up. "She's not all that bad Lizzie. She's just nervous about being away for so long." She reaches over for her books and puts them under her arm.

"Yeah yeah sure she's nervous but we'll be together looking out for one another-Wait well not exactly looking out- ugh you get what I mean!" Lizzie sighs and puts on her coat.

Josie let's out a small laugh. "Yeah I know. But it's fun to listening to you freak out."

Lizzie smacks Josie lightly. "That's not funny Jo. I'm serious after all that happened with you know who I just want to be carful of what I say."

"I get it Lizzie and I'm thankful for that, I really am. But that happened over a year ago and I'm better, ready to move on. Besides you never know who you could bump into."

Lizzie stares at Josie for a while. "So you're sure your ok?" "Yep!" Josie says popping the 'p'.  "And you're 100% over it and healed" Josie sighs and stops walking "that's what I said Lizzie."

"Great! cause I have some things that I've been holding in for YEARS that I need off my chest about little miss superstar!" Lizzie proclaims. Josie laughs and the two starts walking towards their dorm to part from their mom and start unpacking.

On the other side of the campus...

Hope rushes out of the coffee shop with her coffee in one hand and her bag in the other. How did they even get on campus!!

To say Hope is annoyed would be an understatement she is absolutely livid! The press has been stalking her nonstop for the past 4 months. Ever since it was announced that Hope would be taking over Mikaelson industries.

They are EVERYWHERE. It's gotten so bad that Hope had to get her own private apartment at the back of the campus. Out of everything about the family business she hated the press the most.

She doesn't know how long she's been running or where she's running to but all she has in mind is run.

All this just because Maya wanted to eat out for breakfast. 'It would be refreshing and we wouldn't have to eat that the usual stale Cheerios for breakfast.' She said.

Refreshing my ass! It lasted for about 5 minutes before someone recognized her and she had to leave. She barely got her coffee in time. Maya just sat there and laughed-more like cackled-at hopes suffering.

She is so gonna get Maya back. Maybe she should share some of maya's secrets with the group. Like what happened to Mr. Wiggles the hamster or maybe the taco accident or maybe-

Right before Hope can finish the thought she slams into someone. She quickly wraps her arm around the persons waist. Trying to prevent them from hitting their head on the concrete.

Both of their things go flying landing all over the front lawn. Hope can also feel her now empty coffee cup between them. She really hopes the person is nice.

When she opens her eyes she freezes. The most beautiful girl she's ever seen lies on top of her. She has gorgeous brunette hair and big brown eyes.
