I Can't Let You

Chapter 2

I had a terrible night's sleep last night, the mattress was lumpy and although I can usually deal with that there was a party going on down the hall.

I am now in the community bathroom, it is not nice. I can literally see all the germs, not to mention the fact that anyone could walk in on me at any time. I shiver at that thought and get out of the shower to get dressed.

Luckily, Steph is a morning person just like me so I don't have to worry about creeping around the room to try and not wake her. I get my books and put on some makeup. I am wearing the same outfit as yesterday and so is Steph. We are both ready to go to our classes an hour before we need to be there so I decide to try a new braid in my hair to pass time.

By the time we get to our first class we have ten minutes to spare so I check my Facebook feed. Not much is new, my best friend back home, Alicia, has just started her GAP year and I can't help but feel a little jealous of her.

I shut off my phone as the new professor walks in the room demanding all attention. as he starts to talk about what it takes to be a successful business man or women. Professor Daster looks at least fifty with his grey hair and all. He is dressed in a suit and tie and carries a briefcase, he is exactly how I imagined my professors to look like. 

As I walk into my second class of the day I can't help but feel a little nervous, Steph isn't in this class meaning I am all alone. I take a seat in the middle of the class room and wait for the teacher to start. The teacher starts talking and introduces herself as Professor Malli. I take this time to notice that she looks about 50, her long greying brown hair is pulled into a bun and she is wearing and extra-long skirt. Five minutes later a student barges in the door laughing with another student who continues down the hall.

As he turns around I can't help but be blown away by his good looks. He has blonde hair and green eyes he seems about 6 foot. He is wearing jeans and a check t-shirt on that is unbuttoned and a black singlet underneath showing off his muscles.

Professor Malli is telling him off but he doesn't seem to care. Just as I realise I am staring he notices it and walks over to the empty seat next to me.

"I'm Daniel" The boy turns to me not caring that the teacher is talking.

"Zyana" I reply not looking away from the professor.

"Zyana... interesting" he comments while scratching his invisible beard in thought.

I crack up laughing and earn a glare from Professor Malli but I don't really notice, I'm too thankful that I have made a friend in this class.

The bell sounds just as our professor tells us to start packing up and I continue my conversation with Daniel.

"There's a party going on tonight, are u going?" Daniel asks me with a huge dorky grin on his face.

"Umm, I didn't know about it" I reply honestly.

"Well you should come, here I'll give u the address," He digs around in his binder for a few seconds before pulling out a pencil and paper. Writing the address down and passing the paper to me he says "See you soon" before turning a corner to head towards his next class.

My next class is with Steph and we spend the whole class discussing outfits for that night.
