Summer had finally come. My junior year of college was officially over and I have one more year left. Tears of joy are very much present. I leave tomorrow for New York where I will be till August. I am sitting on Maya's bed scrolling through TikTok as she packs her bag for the summer. Her roommate had already left so it was just me and her in silence. "Are you sure you can't come back here once during the summer?" She cut through the silence. Luckily Cameron had to come back for physical therapy stuff which meant I didn't have to check on the apartment. "No, I wish I could but after this year I deserve a break from Connecticut." She chuckles and continues to roll up her clothes. "Don't worry I wont forget about you." "Yeah? You better not." She walks over to me. "Before you go, I need to tell you something." "Okay, shoot." I throw my phone to the side and look up. The silence is deafening. "I..." She starts. "You?-" Her lips are then on mine, her hands holding my face. I pull away. "I'm so sorry." She says backing away and rubbing her forehead. I can't believe I let this go on for so long. "No I'm sorry, I think I've been giving you the wrong impression." She doesn't speak so I continue, "I really like you Maya, but not in that way. You are such a wonderful person and maybe someday, but I'm just not ready for a relationship right now." "No, I'm sorry. I should've seen it." Her voice is low. "I should probably go." "Yeah. " Without another word, I leave and don't look back.

After three weeks of being in New York, she never spoke to me again. I tried to reach out but I had now fucked up another relationship. I try my best not to think about her and focus on the friends who I never see. Matteo was starting to drive and every time I'm in the car with him I think I might die. This boy thinks it's so funny to look away from the road. Gabi is getting way too old. She rarely likes to play with her toys and I'm the one who has to ask. Me a college student. My parents are still the same, in love and invested in my love life. Unfortunately for them, I don't have one. Cam comes by every so often and we either end up at my house or either hers, Amaia's, or Ruth's. When Cam comes back from Connecticut she always fills me in on what's going on with the team, it's not like I need to know but I want to. I think summer was the right thing for us. We aren't as weird anymore I'm pretty sure I have my best friend back. Maybe she pushed away from me because of Maya. I'll figure that out eventually. Nine more weeks till I'm back for my senior year. The craziest part is I don't even know what I want to do after college, maybe I travel the world or move back home and figure out how to get a job I enjoy.

"No, you're not doing it right!" Ruth yells at Cam as she pours vanilla into the dry bowl. "Okay, well if I'm not doing it right then tell me how!" Me and Amaia sit back and laugh as we stir the frosting. Our goal is to make a cake and at this point, it might not happen. "Maybe we should switch jobs," I propose. "It's okay, I am a pro at making cakes. I just need someone to follow my instructions." Ruth looks at Cam as she adds sugar to a bowl. We finish the frosting and start to clean up. Somehow I got powdered sugar in my hair, on my face, and my clothes.
