Intoxicated By Your Love

Glimpse Of Her

Enzo

I scheduled with my friends to meet up at the cafeteria of the University. I’m a little bit late so I hurry up my steps. I’m walking in the hallway and I see Lydia coming out of the cafeteria. I raise my hand to wave and apologize for being late. As I get closer to her, she pushes me away aggressively and I hit the wall. Because I wasn’t able to see her face clearly, I can’t tell whether she was mad or sad. However I know there’s something wrong with her, something big, or Lydia won’t ever ignore me.

Nancy follows her lead calling her name, but Lydia runs away pretending she didn’t hear her.

The thing that bothered Lydia is in the cafeteria. I walk inside, but there’s nothing weird, everyone is on their phone or minding their meals. I spot Steve sitting at a table that contains unfinished drinks and a bitten sandwich. I stand behind him, giving another look around, may I notice anything strange, but I get nothing. I pat his shoulder and as he notices my presence I drag him outside by his shirt.

“What’s wrong with Lydia?”. I ask.

“You don’t know?”. He inquires.

“Just spell it, Steve!”. I order.

A guy called Trevor wanted to date Lydia, but she refused. Therefore he got mad and told everyone in the university that Lydia is a whore who was looking for a one-day relationship and she doesn’t care about love, she was just seeking sex, that’s why no one has ever seen Lydia in a relationship before. Trevor asserted that he loved Lydia, but she didn’t feel the same way for him.

I wonder when would they leave Lydia alone! 

“What did Lydia say?”. I ask.

“Nothing, she couldn’t talk to anyone, she just ran away crying”. Steve replies.

I can imagine the pressure Lydia felt when everyone looked at her disappointedly. I bet they hate her now. She'll have a hard time with these rumors and everyone's hatred after she used to be loved.

“However, Nancy said that Trevor is lying”. Steve says.

“Duh!”. 

“No, I mean he indeed wanted to date Lydia, but she refused because she’s in love with another guy”. 

Trevor did nothing but disrespect Lydia. He only cared about himself. Why didn't he just accept the rejection as a normal person? What if Lydia loses her chance with the guy she loves because of that jerk?

“Show me where I can find that bastard”. I tell Steve.

Steve takes me to the theater class building. We stop in front of the door where he finds him. He points at a tall guy, athletic, who’s wearing a baseball jacket and black pants.

“Look at him, having fun after he broke Lydia's little heart”. Steve says.

I walk toward a guy who’s playing with his Ukulele to his friends and I steal it from his hands. 

“Dude, what the hell?”. He tries to take it back.

“My name is Enzo Rider, I’m Steve’s friend, send me your bank account and I’ll repay it”. I tell him. I can hopefully take advantage of my fucking rich old man, who forgot that he has a son he needs to be next to him, physically and not materially.
