2. A little peak into my daily life

"Harrrrryyyyy! What have you been up to buddy?" A voice screamed in the hallway while this average sized human came rushing towards me like a projectile.

"Could you be any louder?"

"I sure can!" He quipped with a lopsided smile.

"I missed you too Park!" I said, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and walking to the lecture hall.

"Andy said he's coming back tomorrow. He's 'tired and wanted to rest' which means..."

"Sex all day!" We both said in unison. Perhaps a little too loudly.

"I don't understand his fascination with sex. He's been behaving like he just lost his virginity since he actually did six years ago!"

"Oh Harry! You're so innocent!" Park said with a mock pout.

"Oh, shut up!"

Park and Andy are my best friends. We've known each other since our diaper days and even though from the outside, there doesn't seem to be anything we have in common, them being kids from wealthy families and me, an orphan with nothing to my name, we have plenty of things in common.

Park is the more vibrant and mischievous of us all while Andy is mostly there to plan trips, weekend getaways and 'scientific experiments' aka blowing up meth labs. Yeah... he's a catastrophe waiting to happen.

"Hey baby! You alright?"

"I told you to stop calling me that!"

"Riiiight! How could I forget that that privilege is only reserved for her! Please forgive me."

"Fuck off Andy! I'm really not in the mood."

"Hence my original question. What's wrong?"

"He'll tell us when he's ready. Have you learnt nothing over the past 20 years?" Park said kissing my forehead and pulling Andy away.

"Harry?" Andy called over his shoulder.

"Hmmm?" I responded.

"Don't forget dinner tonight!"

"Yeah." I absentmindedly replied.

"Do you think Carol knows what's going on with him?" I overheard Andy ask Park as they walked farther away.

"Yes. But she won't tell us... literally." Park replied before they both disappeared at a corner.

I love those two but there are just some things that I couldn't tell them about. Their families already believed I'd get their sons in trouble with the law because I was a "Familyless Criminal with no future". And that's a direct quote from Andy's Father!

"Hey lover!"

Surprised to hear that voice, I sprung up and turned around to find Care seated on a table right behind me. What was she doing at a University she didn't even go to?

I quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from the open space to a far off corridor where no one could see us.

"Harold? HAROLD!"

"WHAT?"

"You're hurting my wrist!"

I immediately let go and yep, her wrist was starting to bruise. She had such delicate skin.

"Care-"

"I don't wanna hear it! I came to find you because I wanted to invite you somewhere tonight but if I'd known you'd be all pissy about it, I wouldn't have wasted my time." She said turning to leave.
