Chapter Two. 

REINA:

            I’m so tired. The alarm clock has been going off for a straight ten minutes now but not an ounce of my body felt like moving. What I felt like doing was stay in bed forever and just skip the first day of classes. All they ever do anyways is just go over the syllabus. I was actually starting to be content with skipping until the door opened and Casey stepped in with a towel around her body.

            “Oh my god!” She shrieked, hitting me softly on the ass. “Reina get up! You’re going to be late!”

            “Mmm.” I groaned. “I’m just going to miss today.”

            “This is probably the easiest day to go. Save an absence for a shitty day Reina, seriously.”


            When the light turned on I gave her an evil death stare and sat up groggily, my bed hair all over the place as I tried to adjust my eyes to the light. I am so not in the mood for this today.

            “Stupid school.” I muttered. “What time did you end up getting home last night?”

            “Like one I think. Scott made me watch this stupid movie that wasn’t even funny. It was a waste of time but it made him happy so whatever.”

            Finally deciding on a pair of jeans and a pink sweater, I began to undress and didn’t even care if Casey saw. By now we’ve seen every body part of each other’s.

            “Well I think it was nice of you.” I smirked. “It’s such a cute way to treat your fiancé.”

            “Yeah yeah yeah. Not when I have to get up at seven in the morning.”

            She was looking at herself over in the mirror when I put on my high-heeled boots. It amazed me how quickly I was able to get ready and just as I put my toothbrush in my mouth she cleared her throat and set her brush down onto the counter.


            “So I don’t know if you know this but Justin’s back.”

            “Hm?” I asked with a mouthful of toothpaste. “So soon?”

            “Yeah. He’s back for school and he uh; he gave me a bag of stuff to give to you. I’m not really sure if you want to go through it but I put it under your bed.”

            I tore my gaze away from the mirror and looked back at my bed for a second.

            “Maybe later.” I said quickly. “I’ve gotta get to class.”

            “Reina I know you don’t want to talk about it because you haven’t since it happened but you can’t keep doing this. Keeping your feelings bottled up doesn’t do anything.”

            I was running around like a maniac until I finally found my backpack, slinging it over my shoulder before I gave her a cheesy grin.

            “Hurry!” I laughed. “You’ve got a class to make too!”

            This semester was a lot different than the last one. My classes were so confusing to find and it turns out the one I was running late for was on the complete other side of campus. It doesn’t surprise me because that’s my luck.
