Even If You Are Different From Me I Love You

1

as soon as i finish packing my things my mom walks into my room with a smile on her face but i can see it too sadness in her eyes.

- my dear, are you sure that the decision you made is the best one?- she said with her voice almost failing.- because if that is the case, know that I will support you no matter what happens.-I know she's going to feel very lonely once I'm at Future Way School, after all I'm an only child, Future Way School is a college with the same customs as a light boarding school, I found out that having to share the college's loft with someone , I just hope I share this loft with a few people in my friend group, I just hope it's not Ryan.beep beep beep- It's my ride.- I say as I walk towards my mom and give her a hug.

- Mom, you know that since I've been hanging out with my friends it's been my dream to keep seeing them even if we choose different courses.- I tell her with a sincere smile. As soon as I pull away from her, my mother throws an awkward smile on my face.- What's up mom? Why are you looking at me like that?- I asked her.

- Claire, you entered this college to be close to someone, right? Tell me, little flower, who is your hummingbird? - asks my mother with the smile of a mother who discovers her daughter's boyfriend and is like "oh my little daughter is dating". I like one person and it's Ryan but my love for him will never be returned I know what she'll say if I say it's him I don't like lying to her or my dad but my Aunt Katy one day told me when I was a child a good phrase for this type of situation. "Sometimes it's better to hear a good lie than a bitter truth."

- Mommy! What?- I say with fright.- Of course not! I just don't want to be away from my friends!- I say seriously.

- Daughter, Ryan has arrived.- Said my father entering my room, I take the opportunity to give him one last father-daughter hug. My dad helps me carry my stuff downstairs. As soon as I leave with my dad helping me carry my stuff to my childhood best friend's car outside his car propped up on the roof of the car... Boom! Boom! Boom! There's Ryan Zamora, my first childhood best friend, the most handsome guy in the world and an old crush I try to forget, but I can't.

- Hi Ryan- I greet him politely so he doesn't think I'm rude.

- Hi, everything alright? - he greets me. he helps me and my dad put my bags in the trunk of his car. I have to admit, it felt like I saw a prince charming as soon as I saw him like that. This twenty-year-old young man, owner of very dark brown hair, eyes as blue as the sea, and an athletic physique worthy of a Greek God, but what fascinates me is his unique personality, he is honestly so attractive. As soon as we're done putting things in his car, I say goodbye to my parents for the last time, as I'll only see them on weekends, holidays, and maybe vacations, and then me and Ryan get in the car, and we go all the way. the way to college chatting every now and then. As soon as we arrived at the college, we went to the student parking lot, and then we grabbed our things and went straight to reception to get our loft numbers, and... NOOOOOOO! For that nobody not even I was waiting for that one.

- Yeah! Let's stay in the same room!- Says Ryan happily. I didn't want to share the loft with him any more! This has to be a mistake! I pretend to be happy.

- Yeah...cool...cool...cool...I'm glad we're...let's...stay in the same loft- I say giving him a wan smile. And then we went to the twenty-eighth floor, and as soon as we entered the loft I was amazed by the decor, it was modest and kind of modern, it had a living room, a kitchen, and a bedroom and... What the hell is that?! a bed... a double bed?! Oh no that's bad. Too bad!

- Where are we going to sleep? - I ask with a little anger.

- We can share a bed.- says Ryan calmly, while smiling. - Hey, the guys agreed to go to Young Bowling, are you going?- he asks with the same smile. I really want to go but I can't stand a week or two of living with someone so... so different from me.
