It has now been two hours since Jayden left me and I can't help but feel all alone. Steph is constantly talking to Daniel, William and Brooklynn left sometime between when Jayden left and now and Tanna just went to find a drink. I have been talking to Tanna ever since Jayden left and I have found out that we have a lot in common.
Pretending to be on your phone isn't a lot of fun when your mind is elsewhere...
I instantly feel a presence behind me and I whirl around to find a guy standing right infront of me, his breath smells of alcohol and something else (probably drugs) his eyes are bloodshot and when he goes to move he trips over, yep this guy is wasted alright.
"That dresssssss looksss niccce on yoou" the drunken guy slurs and I don't know what to do, I don't like the look he is giving me.
"Umm...."
"Baby, I've been looking all over for you" I feel him standing behind me his arms around my waist before Jayden gives me a kiss on my neck making me legs turn to jelly. I f he wasn't holding me up I would be on the floor right now. "Go with it" Is whispered into my ear before I turn around and put my hands around Jayden's neck and stand on my tippy-toes to give him a quick peck on the lips. Ignoring the feeling that flies through my veins I speak.
"Well maybe you weren't looking hard enough." I look through the reflection in Jayden's eye to see the drunken guy gone so I prepare to walk out of Jayden's grip but he makes no move to let me go.
"Sorry about before, my sister can be a little impatient at times" Jayden speaks in a hushed voice.
"Sister?" The surprise is evident in my voice.
"Yeah, why?" He replies confused as to my surprise.
"Well I just thought....." I trail off not knowing how to tell him that I thought it was his girlfriend or a one time thing of his.
"Oh god no! Nothing like that. I'm not that kind of guy." Jayden tells me after catching onto my drift and I can't help the feeling of relief that spreads over me and the goofy smile that comes to my face.
I think that is when we realise that he is still holding the small of my back so he lets go (much to my disappointment) and leads me over to the couch where we talk for the rest of the night.

The next morning I awake with a smile on my face as I relive the moments of last night in memory. I learnt so much about my new friends and their lives. Looking over to the clock I realise that I have twenty minutes to get to my first class. I am instantly up and on my way to the communal bathroom.
"Holy crap, we're gonna be late Steph!" I yell on my way there.
I hear a few mumbles and then a heck load of foul words, footsteps are then following me and I turn around to see a half asleep Steph following me.
"Ok, new plan, lets not party on school nights" Steph calls to me while getting into the shower.
"Agreed" I reply before letting the warm water wash all my thoughts down the drain.

Steph and I somehow made it to our first class on time and we are now walking into the cafeteria. I instantly hear someone calling my name and I turn to see Tanna waving. Once at the table I have a quick look around and notice that the place is pretty much full. I also notice Steph has already taken a seat next to Daniel (I will have to ask what that is about later) so I take a seat next to Tanna and we are instantly in a conversation about the party this Friday. Just when we are on the subject of how good the DJ was last night Jayden joins us and plonks down in the seat directly in front of me.
"Whatcha talkin about" Jayden greets us with a mouth full of sandwich.
"Pig" I comment under my breath although I know for a fact he still looks gorgeous as ever.
"Only the fact that you just went off your period yet your still annoying as ever" Brooklynn replied with a fake smile. I couldn't help but laugh and it seemed others couldn't either.
"Haha, very funny" Jayden replied while taking another bite of his sandwich.
Once lunch was over we all headed to our next classes. My next class was near Jayden and Tanna's so we decided to walk together.
"How old are you?" Jayden asked me out of the blue. I looked up to see Tanna and him staring at each other as though they were having a conversation through their eyes.
"Um, 17, why??" I ask, not really wanting to know why he was asking, more what I was missing.
"No reason" He and Tanna reply at the same time, I am clearly missing something here.
"How old are you?" I ask to both Tanna and Jayden.
"18" they both reply at the same time. I laugh a little at their response. Just as we get close to our class Tanna asks me another question.
"Hey Zyana?"
"Yeah" I respond.
"How long until you turn 18?"
"2 weeks, why?"
"No reason" Tanna and Jayden respond in sync.
"Ok then" something feels a little odd as I walk into my next class where I take a seat next to a girl with short blonde hair.
"Hi, I'm Rebecca" she introduces herself
"Zyana," I reply with a smile and we instantly start talking about how we are liking NYU so far.
•••
After the lesson ends I head back to the dorm and decide to put on some music from my phone but as I go to put my earphones in Steph bursts through the door with the biggest and most goofy smile on her face.
"Spill" I practically squeal while sitting up on my bed, music forgotten.
"Daniel asked me out" Steph actually screams this time.
"Aww, I'm so happy for you guys! When is it??" I ask Steph while she climbs onto my bed and crosses her legs.
"Friday" She replies and we spend the rest of the night talking about the soon to come date.
