The Young Pursuit

7. Believed None

Ethan: (Smiling as he approaches Olivia) "Hey Olivia, it's been a while. How have you been?"

Olivia: (Grinning) "Ethan! I've been good, you know, surviving the craziness of college life. How about you?"

Ethan: (Nodding) "Same here. Can't complain. But its feels better to not have Dylan around anymore, it feels like I've all moved on from that shit, but it's left this lingering tension on me."

Olivia: (Thoughtfully) "You're right. It's like those ghosts of Room 715 is still haunting us. But do not worry, I am with you, we'll be stronger than that, right?"

Ethan: "Absolutely. Does that mean, you are saying 'yes' to my proposal of previous semester?"

Olivia: "No! I still need time to think about that and besides I haven't forgiven you for telling it to Dylan and others, but hey, we can't change the past. What we can do is make sure it doesn't affect our present or future, so just keep moving forward in life, on one condition that is, do not hide anything from me and be true to me."

Ethan: (Nodding) "I promise (smiling) And speaking of drama, where are the council members, it seems that the whole student council election chaos, was for nothing, it's was like the whole college became reality show out there."

Olivia: (Laughs) "Oh, I remember it. But you know, I wouldn't get involve in any drama anymore and not of this college, I appreciate the calm in my life."

Ethan: "Exactly. I guess we learned that communication is key, (to himself) for manipulation, everything depends on your actions and reactions, I would never act like Dylan, he is a foolish person, Afterall."

Olivia: "Agreed. We're lucky to have learned from our past. So, what's on your mind, Ethan?"

Ethan: "I just wanted to make sure we're on the same page. No more misunderstandings or drama. Let's keep our friendship drama-free."

Olivia: (Smiles) "Couldn't agree more. Drama-free is the way to be. We've got too much ahead of us to waste time on anything else."

Ethan: (Grinning) "That's the spirit but where is your old roomie"

Olivia: " Min-joo.. She left the hostel and is unofficially living with Hyun-woo"

Ethan: " Hyun-woo. Of all person, I can not imagine, she sure has trash taste."

Olivia: "I cannot tell you how relieved, I am. Now that she no longer is my roommate but still, I feel disgusted to see her in the campus after class hours, they just sit together and are always kissing each other."

Ethan: "I am happy to not know, the existence of such person"

Olivia: "So, who are your roommates, this time"

Ethan: "I don't really know about them, I only know their names: Aarav, Aditya and Ansh."

Olivia: (shocked) " Aarav and Ansh, are your roommate, I can't believe that you chose to be in a same room as them."

Ethan: "why, what's wrong on them, they seemed nice to me."

Olivia: "You have seen, only the surface of them, they both are top notch pervert to be honest, Aarav looks to me like an uncle and what he did to Meera, was beyond a doubt, very wrong, how can he has a right to reject her because she is not rich and ugly, has he seen his face in the mirror and Ansh on the other hand, who is just trying to get attention of Keya I hate stalker personality persons, even announcing that he likes Keya, to all except her, is he some kind of fool."
