III - Annalise

Time flies when you reach the last day of summer. The house is full of people packing, except me. Pros for being someone organized is that you do not need to pack your stuff by the end of the trip, it has already been packed on a daily basis. Meaning: every single day when we go out, I put everything on my suitcase, and when I go back I take out my stuff again-- and the cycle continues. My friends liked to comment on how exhausting it is to keep packing and unpacking every day but I choose to ignore the cons and focus on the benefit.

To add on today, the people on the next doors house are throwing a party on the pier. They call it 'beach and bitches', I know, fuckin cliche. I'm pretty sure anyone can come to the party, even people outside of the campus.

I actually barely knew anyone staying at the next doors house, I was hoping I could get to know more people this summer but we barely hung out.

Although the guys seemed to hang out with them. Alaric(Cathy's older brother), Harland(my ex), Nathan and Ea--

Oh shit, I'm thinking about him again.

It's been a day since we talked that morning, since than we've just been sharing a few words and glances as if nothing happened. In front of everyone, we're still that two people who are always irritated of each other.

What can I do?

When it happened it was just fast, unexpected but expected at the same time. I must've realized at that point that I've been interested in him this whole time, so when it happened, we just clicked.

I never noticed how attractive he actually is until that morning when I saw it upclose, too close. His gray eyes and his sharp jawline and a perfect face card that I've never seen before. His hands perfectly wrapped around my waist as if its meant to be there. His tone of voice that easily puts me in a chokehold.

It's so simple and not at the same time.

To think about it-- Harland had never made me feel like that. That kind of pleasure with each other And thats why I've been thinking on actually ending things with him.

I mean as I said, until now he hasn't talked to me yet, the others are also starting to notice our sudden distant. And if the guy knew better he would've talked to me, but he didn't.

Oh well, he lost me.

Though, soon Harland will no longer fill my mind-- because I am going to go up to him right now.

"Hey Lan, got a minute?"

Did I just asked to talk to him in the middle of the living room where everyone was present? Yes, and do I care? No.

I want the rest to know that we're trying to talk, I don't want all my friends to keep asking about our relationship-- that is soon to be officially done.

His lips curved. "Yeah what's up?" I almost wanted to laugh because he seriously said 'what's up' to me as if I wasn't his girlfriend a week ago.

I smiled back, "Yeah what's up with you?" my voice quiet and bitter.

Apperently my quiet voice isn't quiet enough because I could feel everyone's eyes suddenly laid on us.

His smile fades, he turns away just for a second before responding, "Meet me outside, K?" and he walks away as I watch him.

I turned around, my hands resting on my chest. And that's when I realize that everyone is not here. Eaton isn't here.

Cathy and Kenna walks up to me,  "Oops girl, what was that?" then Alaric chimes in, "My guy did something wrong?" smirking as always.

Nathan just raised an eyebrow at me, his face unaffected as if he knew. "Did he.. told you?" I ask him.

"Yeah he did."
