two college sweethearts are conflicted when a delusional childhood friend comes into the picture.
"i always thought love was a facade, but when i saw that gleam of admiration in your eyes, i knew i'd just been scared of it all along."
BILLIE i closed the alarm on my phone so i could get ready for my lecture. today was an easy day since lecture was only for an hour long for both campuses. i go onto the camera app and flip it so i could see myself.
my eyes, puffy, nose red, lips puffy.
last night was terrible.
but there was one person who made that entire night better, and that was josh.
josh.
i remember we exchanged numbers and i quickly go to my messages and click the random number.
random number
me: hey, it's billie from last night, how you been☺️☺️☺️
random number: ayooo hey ma, i been chillen. what campus you study in?
me: i study in the arts campus. i'm majoring dance and choreography for music videos n stuff.

josh☺️🤍: that's dopeee. i study in the music producing department, i got a whole studio in my dorm n shit. i really want you to come by soon.

i close my phone as i notice my cheeks hot and i cover my face in embarassment.
get your ass up billie. you aren't like this.
i go to the bathroom and wash my face, brush my teeth, then i go back into my room and put something appealing on that could purposefully catch his eye.

i curl my hair and spray some vanilla perfume on and my dance shoes on.
i slip my backpack over my shoulder and head out the dorm into my car.
JOSH i closed my phone and put some clothes on, taking my durag off and checking to see if my braids were still intact from last night.
i spray some perfume on me and get my backpack, heading into my car. i notice billie going into her car in the building 2 dorm parking lot.
i go into my car and watch her small frame walk down the ramp and into her car like the fine girl she is. this isn't like me but i really wanna put a ring on that woman's finger before some other guy does.
i snap out of my trance and start the engine of the car, picking my choice of music and leaving to go to my lecture.
