I Tried So Hard (Kellic)

I Tried So Hard- Chapter 2

             It’s been a couple days since the dorm room meeting and everything has been pretty mellow overall. We’ve all finished unpacking, started getting ready for classes, and are just getting use to the campus. Matty and I haven’t really left our room much we’ve just been playing video games and watching T.V. The only time we left the room was when we went down to the cafeteria to get something to eat. Classes start tomorrow so basically today has just been a really lazy day, just lying in bed since I’m going to have to get use to a new schedule starting tomorrow.

“Hey dude what time do you think we have to wake up in order to be on time for our Trigonometry class?” Matty asked.

“I don’t know it starts at 9 so probably 8:30 since we’re on campus we don’t have to go anywhere but to the next building.” I said. And with that we went to bed for the night.

“Wake the fuck up!” Matty said ripping my covers off showing that all I had on was my boxers. “We’re going to be late its 8:50!” I jumped out of bed and grabbed my black skinny jeans off the floor that I wore yesterday not caring that they were dirty, put on a plain white t-shirt and slipped my toms on. Matty threw me my backpack and with that we were out the door.

“What building is it again?” I asked while we were running out the front door of our dorm building.

“I don’t know I just know it’s the one all the way in the front” the ginger boy clearly running out of breath. We got to the building and ran down the hall almost passing the classroom, Matty opened the door and we both stopped dead in our tracks, breathing hard as all the eyes in the classroom turned to us.

“Are you lost?” the teacher asked.

“No this is our class” I said still trying to catch my breath.

“Well then take a seats, your 2 minutes late.” He said.

“Sorry.” Matty said. The teacher just nodded his head and turned back to the board. We headed to a row of seats in the back and sat down. The teacher proceeded to talk.

“As I was saying this Trigonometry and I will be your teacher for this course. You can call me Professor Cunningham..” and after that I kind of zoned out because when I turned to my right I saw Vic, my dorm room advisor sitting there with two of his friends. He looked at me, smiled and waved. I waved back trying not to be so noticeable since I was already late to the class I didn’t want to look like I wasn’t paying attention even though I wasn’t. I tried to get myself to tune back into what Professor Cunningham was talking about, but the whole class I was just tuning in and out, glancing at Vic and trying to get myself to listen to Professor Cunningham. I really don’t know why I couldn’t stop looking at him, I just found him so intriguing ever since the conversation we had. And for the last time for this class period I zoned back in because I heard noise of students packing their stuff up. It was time to go so I picked up my backpack, put it over my shoulder and stood up. Matty was standing there waiting for me since the night before we had already planned to go the library after class. We started walking towards the door and that’s when I heard Vic call my name.

“Hey Kellin, wait up!” he said. Matty and I stopped and turned around. “Where are you going?” he asked. Matty looked confused he had no idea that I was friends with our dorm room advisor, if that’s what we were.

“Nowhere, just heading to the library then back to the dorms to get ready for my next class.” I said.

“Oh well I don’t think you’ll need to go to the library any time this week. We don’t do anything really the first week. Why don’t you hang out with me? I could give you a tour of the campus. Show you where everything is since you couldn’t make it class on time. I’m guessing you got lost?” he said with a chuckle.
