Hate Affairs

Chapter 25

One month later

I woke up to my alarm ringing and got up to get dressed to go to University. I had been focusing on my school work as I was leading up to the end of the term and I would have some exams. Living with my family was going good, we had a couple fights and I knew I wanted to move out just as soon as I would have earned up enough money but other than that it wasn't that horrible.

"As we're leading up to the end of the term I would like for you all to write your first very own story" the teacher spoke to the audience.

"It can be anything, sci-fi, romance or epistolary novel" she spoke loudly.

"I would like to see your work in two months, let's say 10th of December?" She said and the entire auditorium shook their heads 'yes'.

I scribbled on a piece of paper as the teacher got on with the lesson and my pen run out of ink.

"Need one?" The guy sitting next to me, with two empty seats between us said giving me a pen.

"Yes, thank you" I said and took the pen from his hands reaching over the empty seat next to me.

"I'm Henry by the way" he said with a sweet smile.

"I'm Adria" I replied and his pearly white smile didn't leave his face.

"I just transferred here from Germany" he said and tapped his pen on his notebook.

"Why did you transfer?" I asked him trying to be polite.

"It's only for a year, wanted to see what other universities offer" he replied and he looked at the teacher who was loudly speaking and showing some presentation slides.

"So you're an exchange student?" I asked him.

"Something like that" he said and smiled again.

He didn't say anything after that and I didn't either so I just went back to paying attention to the lesson and took some notes.

The lecture ended and I took my stuff and went to leave when my hand was slightly pulled and my name was called.

"Adria" Henry said and I turned to see him smiling again.

"Would you maybe want to go for a coffee?" He asked me.

"I'm sorry, I have work today" I replied.

"Another time?" He asked me.

"Sure" I replied with a smile and we both went our separate ways.

I drove to my work with a buss and got my shift started. I worked till 10pm today and I stayed longer to clean up everything. I had gotten a part time job at the local cafe as an waitress. It wasn't the best job but at least I had some income and was saving up for my own place.

I got home almost around midnight and went up to my room as everyone else was already sleeping. I went to take a shower and changed into some comfy clothes and turned on my computer to do a little bit of homework as I had a few assignments due this week.

Lucian's POV:

It was another night working late. Lately I was trying to avoid the sound of the quite house past midnight, so I worked until I was falling asleep so my mind wouldn't wonder away to her.
