Verge of collapse

Chapter 14

Christopher 

Obviously I don't fucking want to leave her, but I have to meet the professors. They give me shit when I skip classes on the first day. That's what happend last year. She wasn't too hot and she might be telling the truth that she's just feeling hot. But she was throwing up yesterday. I open the car and climb inside. Usually I would think that a woman is pregnant when she throws up, but she's on birth control so that's impossible. She probably had food poisoning as she said. I should not think too much into this.

As I sit in my second class I actually feel very anxious. Katherine hasn't texted me. Of course she won't, she's Katherine. She doesn't answer my calls either. She didn't meet up with Diana nor with Hayley and they have a class together.

"Hey man." Owen says when I cross the student loan to get to my car.

"Hey mate." I say and do a handshake. "I thought you didn't go to classes on the first day?" I ask him as I walk and he follows.

"I don't. I came here to stalk a chick." He says. Nice...

"Who is she?" I ask him, unlocking my car.

"She's a junior like us. I fucked her at the last party and now she's ghosting me." He answers as I open the door. It's actually funny that Owen has girl problems.

"Do you know a single girl?" He asks as I try to get into my car. I stop in my tracks.

"Dude. I'm in a relationship."

"Dude I know." He rolls his eyes. "Everyone fucking knows that. You're like the shining couple of our university." He says and I smile. "What I'm asking is that do you or your precious girlfriend know someone who's single?"

"Yeah..." I think I know. "I'll ask Kat." I say and get into the car this time.

"Yeah, you do that." He says as I close the door.
