As my eyes shoot open, I wipe my forehead to find sweat dripping down, my heart racing out of my chest, the paranoia strikes as I realise what occurred in the nightmare I awoke from. My mind suddenly gets distracted as I feel the hangover from the heavy drinking the night before hit me like a ton of bricks.
Moments from last night make me really nervous to start classes today. I hope everyone forgets me storming out last night cause the topic is something I don't want to be brought up, not now or not ever. I was hoping to just do my time at this school and move on but clearly even my subconscious cant move on otherwise these stupid nightmares would just stop already.
I stumble out of bed and head straight to the kitchen to grab some water and aspirin as im gonna need something to help with this fucking headache. The dorm door suddenly opens and Izzy walks through the door still in the same outfit as last night and bed hair, which reminded me she didn't come home last night.
"Where were you? You didn't come back last night".
"I stayed at a friend's house," she said, looking quite suspicious. She's hiding something.
"Why do I not believe you?"
"Okay I'm only telling you this because I think we're going to end up being best friends but.." she takes a breath before speaking again"- I hooked up with Luke"
I couldn't help but laugh, " you mean the goofy dick face who sent me into the closet for 5 minutes with Ezra". I spit out
"Yeah" she looked so disappointed in herself. " I must have been so drunk last night". She looks like she regretted it but even if she didn't I wouldn't judge her yet maybe Luke is a nice guy I just need to get to know him more.
"Well I will forget this whole thing if you want me to, but if you like him then do pretend you regret it because you think i don't like him"
"Thank you and i don't know if i like him but if i figure it out you will be the first to know '' she said before going into the bathroom to shower and get ready.
***
My first class. To be honest I'm not as nervous as I thought I would be. I met a lot of people last night so I kind of calmed down from the nerves. But then again i did make a little bit of a scene after the game of truth or dare. Izzy told me not to worry before i left the dorm for class. She told me last night at like 1 am the party got busted and Luke got put in detention for a week for hosting the party, I think he kind of deserved it. It's karma for making me spend 5 minutes with Ezra, don't you think?
I walk into English literature to find the teacher already talking. I hope I'm not late.
"Ah Miss Pierson welcome, please take a seat next to Mr Kingston and I will grab you a textbook".
I turn and immediately know who I'm sitting next to, of course it's him. Ezra.
As I sit beside him I feel his eyes track my movement. "What?" I question.
"Nothing," he said with a smirk on his face.
"What are we studying?" I whisper to him.
"Kiss me and I will tell you".
"Forget it" I say while rolling my eyes. God i have never met someone who can frustrate me so quickly.
"Romeo and Juliet"
I turn to him and of course he had a huge grin on his face.
The teacher, Miss Ashton, starts speaking. "Love is heavy and light, bright and dark, hot and cold, sick and healthy, asleep and awake- it's everything except what it is!" She looks around the room for a second drawing in everyone's attention. "What does this quote mean?".
Moments go by with no one answering so I put my hand up. "Yes Miss Pierson" she says addressing me.
" That quote symbolises the true vision of love, that it can be disguised as many other things for many other people, it's that powerful but also mysterious that sometimes you don't even know its love until you experience it yourself", I say.
"Perfect answer Miss Pierson", the teacher says before she continues teaching.
The whole lesson I felt awkward as I felt his gaze turn to me a few times. I don't understand why he won't leave me alone.
As the bell rings, I sigh in relief. I walk out towards my room because I have a free period.
"Hayley!" Ezra shouts down the hall.
I turn in frustration, " why won't you fucking leave me alone Ezra!"
" I just wanted to give you your textbook, you left it in the classroom" he looked so crushed.
"Oh" I say I felt terrible I shouted at him. "Sorry"
" No, it's fine, I kinda deserve it, " he said , walking the opposite way from me.
