Two young souls meet unexpectedly at college, although, their paths had already been interwoven since the very beginning. The course that usually everyone despises is the reason for which they connect. What can they add or subtract to each other's l...
A couple of days have gone by and I have not talked to Gregory since the last time he dropped me off. It feels weird, like I am lacking something.
Him and I are not even that close for me to be feeling this way. I had made it my goal to talk to him in Math class today, but unfortunately he was not there today. I wonder why he missed class. One thing I have noticed is he barely misses class.
I try to focus on the professor as much as possible, but my mind keeps wandering off to the empty desk that is next to mine. I write down the homework assignment and decide to stay after school for the homework center. Caroline, a classmate, also stayed after school and we decide to study together that afternoon.
"Do you know why Gregory did not come to school today? " She asks me full on expecting an answer from me.
I look at her confused and the words come out of my mouth before I could stop them:
"No, why would I know?"
Caroline just looks at me, and unaware of my confusion, she replies with a simple...
"Just asking," she continues, "you guys seem to be close now, and just between you and me, I see a little bit of something between the two of you."
She gets closer to me and finally says "it's like a math equation that seems so simple, yet the process is so complicated," she teases and laughs at her own stupid pun.
I was taken aback a bit by her very specific analogy. She winks at me and I just look at her weirdly.
*Why does everyone seem to think there is something between me and Gregory?* We barely even speak to each other and I am not even sure he likes me. I think he just barely tolerates me.
"We are not close." I end up saying before leaving for the day.
Before leaving I lastly say "Gregory and I barely talk and if we ever become friends, I think that is all we are ever going to be." I get up from my seat leaving a confused Caroline behind me.
After leaving for the day, I take a little longer on my walk home. I need to relax, think, and debrief the day before I get home.
I stop close to a really big pine tree close to campus. I have always loved that tree, it brings me some sort of peace and makes me feel serene. I end up sitting down under it and I take out my journal and decide to jot down some words.
Before I realize it an hour has passed and the sun has now set. I decide to stay for a bit more and listen to music when my mom calls me to ask me where I am. I reply back with a message and decide it is time to head home.
On my way there I get a notification.
Can I borrow your notes from today?
I am confused by this request, but I am even more confused to see who it is from. It is from the mysterious follower that only had the picture of the kitty.
