Loren smith : a college student in one of the top universities of cal poly. She wanted to become a psychologist she since she was child and nothing could get in her way of that. That is until she was in an unfortunate circumstance and...
"What? So much stuff happened and i missed it?" I side eyed her and then finally Sierra cleared her throat to say "are you okay? I'm sorry I wasn't there to kick ryle's ass." I chuckled at her we were sitting at the breakfast table eating pancakes that were kinda dry cuz we didn't have any toppings. " A random guy actually punched ryle and saved me." She inched closer to me and said "what random guy?" "Oh idk he wears glasses, has freckles and was surprisingly tall." Sierra crossed her legs and said "from what you're saying it sounds like darren." "So who's Darren?" I said making it obvious that I need an explanation. "Darren is a A+ student bro he's like the Elon Musk of science. He never gets anything below an A+ but he's also surprisingly hot." I wrinkled my eyebrows at her how that is related to what we're talking about. "What I'm trying to say is you should probably thank him." "Oh wouldn't it be awkward if i just randomly went up to him?" "Girl no." "So i just say thank you and run?" She slammed her head against the table clearly fed up with me. I chuckled looking at her. She got up and said quietly "god you're something else." "I heard that."

I was on my way to class with my car. I finally saved up some money for a Tesla and i love it. It's actually my first time driving it because it arrived at my place today. I sent a little thank you message to my mom this morning as I was getting ready. Today i didn't feel like pink so I was wearing a white tank top with black pants and didn't make a mistake of spilling coffee again so i put a blue striped shirt over it.

Sierra is on the passenger seat doing her makeup cuz I dragged her halfway through because she always makes us so late. She was searching through her makeup agressively for something and then she looked at me "i think left my lipgloss cuz you made me left in a hurry." "I have one in my bag. Take it." We reached school and i parked. She didn't even realise we were there until she finally looked at me and I said "are you done princess? We're here." "Oh I didn't even realise. Yes I'm done let's go."
Our class today was about Freud's theories and it was gonna be long ass class in the auditorium. We reached and greeted Dr Logan and sat in our seats. I tried to scan the room for Darren but i couldn't see him. I also couldn't see Ryder. I couldn't get him out of my mind all night. He was so nice yesterday that I honestly thought I was talking to a clone of him yesterday and it gave me small amount of hope. Hope that i shouldn't have because he has a girlfriend.
I was lost in my thoughts but then I saw Ryder waving at me i was about to wave back before I saw avery pull him to make him sit with her. All of reality came rushing back as i realised all of this didn't matter to him because of course he was happy. It's not his fault it's actually my fault for getting my hopes up for a guy who's in a relationship.
I am not gonna start crying in the middle of class I finally got Outta my thoughts when I saw someone sat next to me. I was sitting beside Sierra but there was an open seat next to me and as i looked at the person. It was Darren smiling brightly at me and Sierra had covered her mouth.
I couldn't say anything because he was beautiful to look at. yesterday I couldn't take a good look at his face but now that I'm seeing him in bright daylight. Wow.
"Hi. I'm Darren. We met yesterday at the party." God even that accent. I said shaking his hand "I'm Loren and thanks for saving me yesterday." "Of course. I actually got in a huge fight with him yesterday but I made sure he will never do that to any women." "Thank you for that." "So are you taking psychology as well?" "Always been a psycholgy girl." "Me too. It's always been a thing since childhood." I realised that was my thing too. Wow we're similar.
Sierra spoke Outta of nowhere "you guys are boring. I thought you were gonna talk about some sexy stuff." Darren started chuckling at her And I gave Sierra the stfu sign silently and we resumed class.
After a an hour professor's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. "Okay class now we have a little project coming up and I need you in pairs of two. But don't get excited I will be choosing the teams. I want to see how compatible you are with people other than your friends." Sierra whispered to me and said "this about to be torture." I have like weird anxiety i hope i atleast get paired with a nice person. After a while they finally announced Sierra's name "Sierra with Darren." I saw Aaron gave Darren the killing eyes and Darren was just looking lost. He didn't have any expression on him. "Loren with .. I held my breath and Loren with Ryder." I think I stopped breathing. I was planning to avoid him and here the universe was putting me with him. Why. Just why. Darren didn't look happy either and Ryder looked happy. Why was he smiling. Stop smiling. "And last avery with Tom. Remember this project will get you extra credit points. It will be for 5 months so please co-operate accordingly. Class dismissed. "
After class i gave Darren my number he said he wants us to be friends and i agreed. I was still mad about the whole Ryder situation but i didn't have a choice and I just didn't wanna think about it. As i got Outta class in the hallway I saw ryle. Again. Wtf was he doing in my college. I was ready with my pepper spray this time but he didn't do anything instead I think I heard a small sorry from him. Wow. Darren really did that he made him say sorry. I was pleasantly impressed. My day just got a whole lot better.
