The Journey - The College Years [One Direction Fanfic]

"Lindsay, wake up!" I hear Spencer mumble and immediately open my eyes. I look at the clock. Twenty minutes until my first class starts. Great. I jump out of bed and put on a pair of white shorts and a light blue shirts with Vans in the same colour before packing my bag and leaving without saying goodbye to Spencer. By the time I get to my class I'm already ten minutes late so try to sneak in as quiet as possible which doesn't seem to work. "Why hello there, who are you young lady?" the professor asks me. "Lindsay Jenner, sorry for being late" I say and start to get uncomfortable because the whole class is staring at me. "I am Professor McLeen, I feel honored that you felt like visiting my law class" he answers in a sassy tone and I already know I won't enjoy this class. I sigh and look for an empty place. Unfortunately it seems like there are no funny or nice people in this class. They're all older than me and look very concentrated and boring. I look for a seat when I finally see a familiar face. Liam. He's sitting in the corner of the class and the seat next to him is empty. I give him a smile and sit down next to him. "What a dick is that professor?" I ask him and he laughs. "Hungover?" he asks. I nod and start taking notes. 

When the class is over Liam and I go for a belated breakfast since we're starving. "So, how is Spencer?" he asks me before taking a sip of his coffee. "Tired and hungover, but fine, I guess" I answer. "Good. I mean, uhm, you don't know if she has a boyfriend, do you?" he asks a bit shy. "I don't think so" I answer smiling. Someone has a crush, huh? He smiles and concentrates on his food. I check my phone and decide to text my mother and Harry just to see Harry already texted me. 'Miss you soooo much' the text says. 'Miss you, too. How's Bradford?' I answer before telling my mother about my day and my plans for the week. 

My professors for the other classes are very nice, I especially like my divorce professor who insists on getting called Mrs Johnson instead of professor. When I'm done for the day I decide to sign up for the university's fitness club so I start to do some sport again. When I get back to my room Spencer is already back from her classes and lays on the bed watching a YouTube video on her iPad. "Hey little miss hangover" I greet here before dropping my bag onto the desk. "Hi, how was your first day?" she asks smiling. "Pretty good, I guess. Bit boring though" I answer honestly. "Oh, well mine was awesome. My theater prof is the funniest person alive" she tells me and I realize until this moment I didn't even know what she was studying. Acting I guess. Since I am not planning to go out for the rest of the day I grab my pajamas and some underwear to go take a shower. The showers are pretty clean, other than I expected. I take a quick shower because there are many other girls in the queue and leave the washroom in nothing but a towel on my head because there is no empty changing cubicle. Some guys start whispering something about me but I just wipe it off and get to my room as quick as I can to put on my pajamas. My phone suddenly lights up, a text from Harry. 'Everything sucks without you' My eyes tear up as soon as I read his message. I decide to call him. "Hi" he says. He sounds tired and sad. "Hey cupcake" I say to cheer him up and I hear a light chuckle. "I miss you" he whispers. "I know you do. But try to distract yourself. Otherwise you'll bore yourself to death" I say. "Yeah" he just says. I feel bad because he isn't happy. I feel like it's my fault. "I love you" I say. "I love you, too." "Come here soon, yeah?" "Mhm" he mumbles. "See you, Lindsay." Yeah, I hope we do, I think to myself after hanging up.
