"Hey Vic"

"Hey Cam" i waved at him, looking at his back as he walked away.

The long hallway was a sight that i was too familiar with. First day of the Last year. I had no idea what was the plan after this, but i knew with my Ballet program, i could go to Boston so, maybe that.

As soon as I walked in today, i was met with the person that has been on my mind since i left California. Cameron and Violet weren't going to get back together, at least not right now. Now i'm left not knowing where me and Cam stand. His small smile today made me feel at ease, while it is awkward, i expected worse.

As i watch him walk away, I collide a body behind me.

"Ouch-"

"Oh my god Brea-"

"-Excuse you" Our words clash.

"I am so sorry, i wasn't paying attention" I quickly apologize. The girl raises her eyebrows before a look of judgement overcomes her face.

"Oh look who it is, miss goody two shoes" She crosses her arms.

Breanna. Brea.

We used to be inseparable, two peas in a pod. When she first moved to San Diego, she was my first girl friend, and i was her first friend in California. When we went into middle school, she quickly became popular, and with good reason. In 8th grade she came out and a week later had a girlfriend. Due to her popular status and my lack thereof, we aren't friends anymore.

"Cute boots" She sarcastically said "Thank you for your service" she salutes me, making the remark is if they're military boots. But they were just normal black boots with a heel on them.

"They're vintage, got them on a thrift shop" I say, acting oblivious to her backhanded compliment.

"And they're fire" I hear my best friend say behind me, her hand now draped on my shoulders. "Vic can totally rock 'em, now for you cousin, well, you should stick to the basic uggs" i look down letting out a chucke

Lucy. My best friend, after i stopped being friends with Brea, i started being friends with her. She was Breas cousin from her moms side, and well, they didn't get along for the same reasons me and Brea don't. She was my twin flame, my biggest supporter, i knew that i would always have her by my side, thats what made her special to me, because while i knew that everybody would've judged me for the emails, she would have joked about it and tease me for a bit before she would comfort me.

"You know what screw you Lucy because you know how my feet are always cold-"

"Hey babe" two muscular arms wrap from behind her. Remember Nika? Well after a month of going to school here, she and Brea starting seeing each other. Most of the time they fought, but i guess they loved each other. Brea's Nika. Brea's.

"Oh hi babe" she looks at us smugly, mainly at me. I look down at the floor as Lucy removes her arm from my shoulders. "So i was just complimenting Victoria on her old boots" Brea mocks me, Nika looks at us awkwardly. Brea's attention is pulled by someone calling her name, she untangles herself from Nika and walks off.

"She just stopped smoking vapes so shes just in a mood for nicotine" Nika tried to defend her girlfriend to us.

"Are you sure that shes just not a bitch?" Lucy mocks. Nika purses her lips awkwardly before walking away.

"What was that about?" Lucy asked me two hours later, we were going heading to the cafeteria for a small snack.

"What do you mean?"

"Nika. She just gave you a look" she says in a 'duh' tone.

"Okay, i think the hangover is making you delusional. And anyway who drinks the night before the first day of school?" I drift away her question about Nika, Lucy now telling me about the concert she went to the night before

Whenever Nika was the topic i would drift away, in fear that people would see through me that I liked her.

Speaking of Nika, i hear her and her friends laughing. Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd, Aubrey Griffin and Kk Arnold were sitting with her. The Uconn Women's Basketball team was the whole reason we had so many visitors, they were beyond talented, i didn't really get or watch basketball so i've never been to any of their games.

"I'm sorry i think you dropped this earlier" I hear a voice behind me say, when i turn around i'm met with Ayanna Patterson, she's holding my dorm keys on her hand.

"Oh my god, thank you so much" I take them, giving her a big smile. I didn't even notice they were gone.

"I'm Ayanna" She introduces herself, outreaching her hand. I know who you are.

"Oh, I'm Victoria" I shake her hand. "Thank you again, i really don't how to repay you" I shake my head as i zip up my bag after i put my keys in there.

"Nah it's cool but are you new? I would've remembered a face like yours" She flirts with me. My body goes still , looking at her awkwardly, yeah invisible.

Honestly, i wasn't complaining, it was easier for
people not to pay attention to me. No one cared for my business.

"I'm actually uhh a senior " I say. Ayanna eyes widen, she opens her mouth and closes it quickly. I hear Paige Bueckers say 'shit' and now i'm realizing their whole table went quiet. When i turn to look at them, they quickly look down. Expect Nika, she looks mad?

"My bad i'm sorry-"

"It's okay really thank you for the keys again, nice to meet you" I quickly say and run to catch up with Lucy.

"So remember how i'm humble enough? I just got humbled even more" I chuckle to my best friend before telling her the story.
