i shoved my hands in my pockets as me and diana walked out of class. i turned to her as she spoke.

"everybody is going out to get lunch in an hour, if you and juniper want to come?" she offered as she raised a brow.

"yeah, i'll see if she wants to go," i gave a smile. "i'll probably come either way; just text me about it, yeah?"

"of course. see you, bil," she started to head off in a different direction.

"see you," i gave a small nod.

i pulled my phone out of my pocket, and i went to mine and juniper's messages. knowing how busy she's been since we started college, i'll doubt she'll be able to make it, but it's still worth a shot.

i pursed my lips as i stared at our messages. i'm not mad that she's busy or anything, but i do feel like i can be at least a little upset. our free time hardly ever lines up, due to our classes and the fact that we now both have a job on campus.

i miss getting to be with her practically any day i wanted to. now, i feel lucky to see her even once a week.

i put my phone back into my pocket with a sigh. as i exited the building to walk across the campus to my dorm, i pulled my hood over my head. it's nearing the end of november, and it's been pretty chilly recently.

as i entered my dorm room, i pulled my phone out again. i facetimed michael.

"hey!" mikey shouted loudly as he answered the facetime.

"hi," i grinned as i shut and locked my door door. "what are you up to?"

"nothing. i miss you; come back home," he frowned.

i pouted. "i miss you too. you should drive up here to come give me a hug," i proposed the idea with a playful smile.

he seemed to consider it for a moment. "wait, can i?"

my eyes lit up; i was mostly joking when i had suggested it. "um, yes. please?"

he hummed. "i guess i'll be there in three hours then," he grinned. he then paused. "fuck, that's a long time to drive. i'll be there asap though."

i couldn't help but grin as well. "bet. i can't wait to see you!"
