May 24th.

Claire was walking outside the campus and sat in the stairs to check on her phone.

-Man, I’m already exhausted and I still have classes left –Claire said out loud letting out a big sigh.

 -Claire! –someone behind her said.

-Michelle, how are you? –she said smiling.

-I’m good, how are you? It’s been a while since I last saw you, huh? Too much work? –she asked worried.

-A little bit, you know, trying my hardest –Claire laughed.

-Good luck with all that –Michelle smiled and looked away.

-Shit –Claire said turning her head around.

-What? –Michelle asked.

-Dylan… Dylan is there –she said blushing.

-Really Claire? Aren’t you going to get over this already? I really think you should just talk to him and—

-Of course… of course he has a girlfriend –Claire interrupted ironically.

-The bitch is pretty I got to tell ya –Michelle said.

-She is… ugh… he won’t ever know about my existence what am I even doing? Obsessing over a boy who doesn’t even know me –Claire said looking away.

-Claire… -Michelle said patting her back.

-I talked to him though.

-What? –Michelle asked impressed.

-He… he went to the store and I helped him so we kind of talked, right? –Claire said raising her eyebrows.

-So he knows you study in the same place? Then you should definitely say hi to him! And you know make a conver—

-No –she interrupted.

-Why not? –Michelle asked confused.

-Because… I didn’t tell him I studied here, so he just knows I work at the store that’s all…

-Oh…

-Yeah, oh… -Claire said sad.

-Well you know, they’re probably going to break up anyway, I’m going to talk to my people and see what I can get –Michelle said excited walking away.

-Wait! What? Are you nuts? –Claire said blushing.

-You should know by now! –she said.

-Shit… Why am I even friends with her… -she let out a giggle.

-Claire? Can we talk for a moment? –someone said behind her.

-Nathan? What… -she said not finishing the sentence.

-You know… we kind of haven’t talked since we broke up… I miss ya Claire—

-No, you don’t –Claire said looking away.

-I do, look… it wasn’t my fault and I told you –Nathan said.

-Why are you coming now?

-Because I wanted to say that I miss you.

-Why now?

-Uh… I don’t know because I felt it.

-You’re funny Nathan, you know it was your fault cause you flirted with some other bitch, probably you don’t have more bitches left so you’re coming back, but I’m not getting back together if that’s what you’re looking for, I’m done –Claire said holding back the tears.
