Trying So Hard To Get Over You [BXB]

Nik's POV
One year later
I grab my backpack and leave my dorm room. My friend and roommate, Martin, comes out and walks with me. He says "first day of university, are you ready?" I say "I think so" quietly and he says "oh come on! Only you think so?" I say "boy, it's too early for your enthusiasm."

We walk onto front campus for orientation and whatnot. Its really just a social hour before classes officially start for freshman. For us to make friends and so on.

Martin says "I'm sticking with you" and I say "same" nodding. I say "lets go make friends." We talk to a bunch of people and we get a bunch of numbers and Instagram usernames. Martin says "the last group we didn't talk to. The fraternity." I say "are you about that Greek Life?"

Martin says "no way in hell. Have you not seen the movies?" I say "I have seen 22 Jump Street and it taught me that frat boys are kinda dumb but they're so hot." Martin says "you have a type, damn."

Sorry my boyfriend of two years was a fucking hunk that played football. I obviously have a type. Dumb jocks except the ones I pick are smart but thats rare. If they're here, they must be pretty smart. Maybe I'll move on finally.

Then I see someone.

I say "its him" quietly. I really want to congratulate him because he never thought he'd get in but I also don't want to out him to his friends knowing were both going to be touchy. He nods at me and I say "bye, Martin, make friends. Its good for you, buddy." He says "ditching me like that?" I say "yes" going over to Miles.

I go over saying "I'm just here to say I'm proud of you. You probably don't want to hear shit from me but I just wanted to let you know." Miles says "I like to hear from you every now and again." I smile saying "they must've liked your application, huh?" He says "yeah, I think they really did. That's because of you, ya know?" I say "Miles, that's all you. Don't give the credit to me, you did it." Miles quietly says "is it overstepping to hug you?" I say "I'm gonna cry and not stop if you do that. So maybe" quietly. He squeezes my hand saying "it was good seeing you" quietly.

Then one of the guys around him say "who's this cutie?" Instinctively, that makes me move closer to Miles. People that were really forward like that always freaked me out cause I don't want to be out and be flirted with to the point of me having to yell at them. Miles mumbles "he's good, he's my friend. Don't worry about it" and I say "I'm Nik" and he says "I'm Zach."

He's hot but not quite my type. Not boyfriend material here. No thanks. I could be friends with him though.

I'm horny, ok? Its been awhile.

Zach says "just to let you know, this is the hottest guy on campus right here. This is my boy right here. Take him for a spin if you'd like. I'm second, so if he doesn't work for you, I got you, baby." I chuckle saying "he's first? Now why would you think that?" Miles glares at me playfully and Zach says "nine inches, abs, the hair, the eyes, the smile, and that's all I got." I say "you missed one. He's also a good person" winking at them both then going back over to Martin.

He says "what was that?" I say "you wanna go back to the dorm, it's half hour till classes start and mine is literally right there." He says for sure" and we go to our room and he says "what was that all about?!" I say "what?!"

Martin says "do you know him?" I say "I just met him" shrugging and he says "oh bullshit. You love him, I saw it in your eyes." I say "love at first sight?" He says "you're really grasping at straws, bro." I say "shut up, I'm not telling you. Sorry to burst your bubble." Martin says "that's fine, don't worry about it." We wait for a little while and we go to class which turns out we have together.

I say "ready to have fun with sociology?" He says "I guess so." I chuckle saying "lets go" and we go into the huge classroom. We sit together and just as the teachers about to shut the door, Miles slides in.

I'm trying to move on and you're just make it worse.

He sits behind me and I sigh then the teachers starts talking.

Martin mumbles "I think you should go for it. He's easily the hottest person on campus." I say "let's talk about something else" and he says "no." I say "yes." Martin says "fine."

Then I see someone walk in and it makes me just stop right in my tracks.

I say "Miles?" He says "hm?" I say "look" quietly and he says "shit." I say "you see it too?" He says "yeah, let me help you out" quietly and sits next to me. The teacher says "who are you?" This crazy guy that never left me alone all trough my senior year says "I'm in your class."

The teacher says "no you aren't because everyones here."

Then he panics and leaves.

I mumble "what the fuck?" Miles mumbles "get a fucking restraining order" and I say "that's kind of hard to do, ya know." He says "well, at least you can try cause if you don't, I'm gonna kick the shit out of him then I'm gonna be at fault for murder cause he will not be opening his eyes again" moving back to his seat.

I say "I wouldn't mind if he was dead" quietly and Martin mumbles "you love him." I mumble "doesn't mean he loves me back" crossing my arms and listen to the teacher carry on teaching.
