Bunny in the Fox's Den

-a cup of coffee-

Gabriel

University can be really expensive, I luckily found a decent job that can pay for everything. I might not be rich but it's enough money for now.

Although this year they've changed the prices for the single dorms so soon I'll be moving to the less expensive ones.

Not really excited about that..

After a long day at work I head to my motorcycle and check if I have all my stuff in my bag.

I'm so tired, I need some coffee to warm my body a bit and maybe relax a bit after a long day like these.

I put my helmet on and drive to my favorite place, the coffee shop.

One of my friends works there, he's the only person that knows how I like my coffee. I go here anytime I feel down so I go here a lot.

I enter the coffee shop, there's soft jazz playing in the background. It's a really nice and comforting place. "Good evening Gab!" I hear a familiar expression towards the counter.

He's always so cheery but has the tendency to talk a lot.

I walk towards him not wanting to raise my voice from how tired I am "Hey Ben, how's work going today?" I say with a tired voice "it's going great as always, although I had to deal with Karen earlier this morning. I don't get why they have to be such a pain in the ass" must be hard to deal with those kinds of people, I would have punched them in the face.

He hands me a hot cup of coffee and takes the money I placed on the counter "huh you knew what I wanted" as he gives me my change he looks at me with an annoyed face like I said something wrong "Buddy you've been getting the same shit for a year, of course I knew what you'd order" I take a sip of the warm coffee burning my tongue a bit.

I feel my phone vibrating in my right pocket

It's a message from her.

My girlfriend.

I sigh"Is it Jessica? How's she doing?" Ben asks as he cleans the counter, "She's alright I guess.. she's going out with her friends again" like always.. "you haven't talked to her yet?" I look at the cup of coffee "no.. " I've been trying to tell her face to face but it's hard when all she wants is to go out to the club with her friends.. "Hey man, if you need anything I gotchu" I place the cup on the counter after finishing the coffee. Thanks. I gotta go now.." I wave goodbye to him and leave.

After a few minutes of driving I finally arrived at the dorms, I parked the motorcycle and grabbed my keys in my backpack.

I've been going to this university for a year now. The classes are interesting I guess, but they are pretty difficult at the same time.

The dorms aren't that bad, they have anything you'd need and aren't as small as you'd think. Let's just say it's enough space for one student. But the single dorms is pretty expensive so I'll be moving to the ones for two people.

As I walk towards my dorm I see my best friend knocking at my door "Gabriel open the door! Are you still sleeping!?" I can't believe she forgot again "Lola im right here.." I whisper as I poke her on the shoulder "Bro I had work today remember?" She looks at me confused, processing what I just said "oh shit yeah my bad" this is the 3rd time she forgot, sometimes I wonder how we are friends but we are both stupid so I guess it makes sense.

I unlock my dorm door and let her in, I put my bag at the corner of my room and flop my body on the couch and sigh, Lola sits next to me and asks "umm you good? You look terrible" I run my fingers through my dark black hair and look up at the ceiling and start talking "work was fine but as always it just drained all my energy, then there was traffic so I was stuck on the road for an extra hour, I did get a chance to stop at the coffee shop, but then Jessica texted me and it just made my day worse than it already was.."

Why did I ever think dating her was a good idea?..

"Dude.. this is the 5th time in a row, that ain't good, you really need to talk to her" Lola replies.

I really need to talk to her, maybe I can call her later "anyway i brought you the notes from last time when you fell asleep for staying up all night" she places the notes on the coffee table in front of us and gets up "Thanks I own you one, I'll see you tomorrow?" She stretches and grabs her phone, checking her calendar "actually tomorrow is Saturday, me and some friends are going to a party, you should come with us" i'm not really a party kind of person but I've been really stressed lately so maybe it could be good for me, "Yea sure, I'll see there then" Lola excitedly, shocked that I actually wanna come "totally! I'll send you more details about it tomorrow, I gotta go take a shower now, cya!" She opens the door and leaves, closing the door behind her.

Alright time to call her.

She should be at her apartment by now.

She might be drunk tho..

I sit up to walk towards one of the windows in my dorm, grab my phone so I can call my girlfriend. If that's what she really is, I don't even know at this point..

I look for her number and start calling her

Gabriel : "Hey Jessica." i say as i sit down

Jessica: "Hii baby I missed you!!"

I hate it when she calls me that..

Gabriel: "Umm.. I wanted to talk to you about something important.. I wanted to do it in person but you're always so busy so I'll just tell you on the phone."

Jessica: "Oh darling what do you wanna tell me huh?~ Do you wanna remind me of how pretty I am hehe~"

Gabriel: "N-no I just-.."

She's drunk..

Jessica: "Come on say it Gaby!~"

I hung up on her.

I sigh from frustration

Why does every single relationship have to end like this? I just wanna be loved..

How did my dumbass even find a girlfriend, I've always been that kind of person that just prefers to be alone. I wasn't always like this but after some particular events in my life completely changed me.

All the friends I've made this past year are just people that started talking to me and they kinda just stuck with me. I used to hate having company but now it kinda feels nice to have some people to talk to from time to time.

For some reason I have a feeling something is gonna happen to that party, not because it is gonna be a party full of young adults, mostly horny young adults that just wanna go crazy, but I don't know.

Hopefully I'll be alright..
