If True Love Exists

Chapter 16

Two months later...

"Willa, come on! You've done nothing but stay in this room for the past two months, it's time to get out and do stuff again!" Elisa said

"I just don't really feel like it..."

"No. I've heard that excuse for way to long. You need to do something other than sit on the Internet and listen to Taylor Swift breakup songs. C'mon, you're getting up and we are going out with the gang and doing something fun!"

Willa groaned and stood up reluctantly. 

"Put on some nicer clothes and get ready to go out, I'll be back in a little while" Elisa ordered and left the room.

Okay Mom, Willa thought sarcastically as she got dressed. It would be nice to get out, lately she hadn't felt up to being very social, it wasn't because of the breakup, she told herself,  she was over that...she just hadn't felt like it. Elisa came back into the room, looking pleased with herself that Willa seemed open to going out.

Of course Elisa would take them all to another party. Willa sat down at a near by couch and tried not look bored out of her mind. She talked Sarah for a little bit, until Sarah left to get something to drink. She sat alone wishing she was back in her dorm. She got up to find something to drink. Making her way to the kitchen she bumped into someone. 

"Oh! Sorry!" she exclaimed, looking into the face of an attractive blonde guy.

"No, no its okay I'm sorry..." He said trailed off. 

"Willa" she supplied

"I'm Logan" He said. "I'm think you're in my poly sci class..."

His faced clicked in her brain and she realized the did share that class.

"Yeah! You are! How are doing on that insane presentation project we have?" She said

"Oh my gosh, tell me about it! It's so hard I've barely even started! "  He groaned.

"Me either!"

Sarah walked up just then

"What are complaining about?" She asked "I'm Sarah, by the way." She introduced herself.

"I'm Logan" He said.

"We were just talking about how awful that project in poly sci is."

"Oh my gosh don't get me started!" Exclaimed Sarah.

They all begin to commiserate and complain together.

"Hey, we should form a study group and do it together,  I'm sure some other people in class would join." Logan said. "What's your number,  we should figure something out!" He said turning to Willa.

She was caught a little off guard, but it was just a study group she told herself and entered her number into his phone while he entered his number into hers. She smiled to herself, surprised that she had actually had a good time tonight

It was very late when they back to their dorm.

"So, you were pretty chatty with that  cute guy Logan" Elisa said slyly.

"What? Oh, we were just talking out our classes, that's all." Willa said.

"Uh huh. Did you think he was cute?"

"No! I mean sort of I guess...I wasn't really thinking about it." Willa defended. "We just are doing study group together, please don't make a big deal of this"

"So did he get your number?"

"Yes, we exchanged it to figure out the study thing."

"Ooooo, so he had your number now!!"

"Seriously Elisa! It's not a big deal, he's not my type!"

"What is your type exactly?"

Smart, ginger and British flashed through her mind.

"I don't know, I don't usually go for blondes, besides he's an art major."

"Willa," Elisa said. "It's been two months since your breakup, you should go for this! It will be good for you."

Willa groaned, "I'm going to sleep." she said getting ready for bed. She sighed, trust Elisa to make a huge deal out of this.

Willa smiled as she walked away from the library.  The study group had been a lot of fun.  They had all made headway in their projects and it was fun to study with friends.  Her phone buzzed.  She had two texts she opened one from Logan first.

So glad we got started on those presentations! It will only be seventy more hours before we finish them lol.

She laughed a little and opened the next text from Charlene. 

I just got asked to be on the cover of Seventeen Magazine!! Oh and by the way, have you been on Instagram lately, just wondering.

Willa eyes light up, how exciting for Charlene!  Curious about the last part of the text she went on to Instagram.  She hadn't looked  at it in a while actually. She scrolled through her feed and spotted a picture that made her heart stop. It was Philby, who rarely posted, with his arm around a girl's shoulder. They were both smiling and it was captioned

Had a spectacular day! This girl is great!

Tears stung her eyes. Philby was dating someone else...He had never posted cute pictures with her when they were dating. She sighed, why did she care, they broke up. They were allowed to date other people! She looked at the picture again. The girl was pretty, tall, willowy, blonde with great style. Who was she?  Willa closed Instagram.  This was lame, she was over Philby, and he  was obviously over her. She walked back to her room when her phone buzzed again. She opened a text from Logan.

This cool music expo is going on at the coffee shop, do you want to come with?

Willa thought about the picture on Instagram and typed

Yeah, that would be fun! What time?

A/N I apologize if this brings pain, just trust me it will be (wilby, lol)  worth it.
