Multiple [h.s] - ON HOLD

Chapter 11

"I promise you I won't. You shouldn't be afraid of love. But I respect your decision. I'll be waiting for you to change you mind though," he said and started the car.

I don't know how I feel about that. Usually I would be annoyed, but right now I just don't know.

"Want some coffee? Or to finish your food in my room?" I asked Conner once he parked at campus.

"No. I think I'm gonna head back to the house now," he said flatly, staring out of the windshield.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then," I leaned over to him and pecked him on the cheek but he didn't react to it. I stepped out of the car and entered the building, taking a detour to Kelly's room. I knocked three times before she opened the door.

"I brought dinner," I exclaimed fanning the bag of McDonald's in front of her face

She smiled enthusiastically and let me in. "Ay ay!"

She grabbed the packet and raided it. "Dude! What is this? Literally seven fries in here and a burger with two bites in it," she laughed.

I tried to laugh with her but only a forced weird sound came out.

Kelly put down the food and and looked at me with concern. "Okay. What happened?"

"What?"

"Don't act dumb Leigh. What's wrong?"

I was about to surrender and tell her everything when we were interrupted by the door swinging open.

"Sorry I'm late guys. I was too busy having fun in Germany and Dubai," a girl said as she dropped her suitcases on the floor.

"Holy fuck. She's hot," I heard Kelly say.

"What? You guys look like you have seen a ghost," the girl laughed. "I'm Stacy Lorde."

"Hi Stacy, I'm Kelly Marshall. This is Leighton Crest. Leighton Crest who was about to leave," Kelly quickly got up to greet her.

Wowowow.

"Ehh?" I said in confusion.

"Oh no. Don't leave on my account. You guys get on with whatever it is you were doing," she dismissed Kelly.

"She was about to leave anyways. Right Leigh?" She looked at me with a pleading look.

"Yeah. Sure," I reached for my takeaway but Kelly stopped me.

"I'm still gonna eat that."

"You fucking owe you. Kel," I warned.

I groaned in frustration and said goodbye to them and went straight to my room. When I got in, I saw Jane getting ready to...go out.

"It's seven thirty on a Tuesday night and you are actually going somewhere?" I teased.

"Ha ha," she fake laughed. "I have last minute plans with my study group.

"Ohh. That makes more sense."

"Bye Leighton," she huffed and left the room.

Okay. Today has just been weird. I have been ditched by there people in a span of twenty minutes. Wow. Okay.

I got up from my bed and made myself coffee. When I was done, I heard a knock on my door. Half of me was hoping it would be Conner on the other side of that door, but the other half hopes it's not because right now, that boy has me fucked in the head about him.

I opened the door and I was shocked to see who was standing there.

"Uhmm?" I tried to force my words out but I couldn't.
