Things I Don't

"Today class I want you to write an essay based off Romeo and Juliet on the topic of love decided by fate."

"Did you hear me miss oxford?" Mrs Greene said tapping her ruler on the side of my desk. I looked up at her grey eyes.

"Yes miss." I replied stifling a yawn.

She sighed turning away, "Class I can not imply the importance of having an early night in college! if you want to pass do the study and stay awake!" she spoke to the class who were also half asleep.

The bell rang and I gathered my books.

"Remember class essay on love decided by fate due next friday!" Mrs Greene bellowed as I shot out of the class.

I was walking across the college green when I received a text.

From: Work

Hi Paisley need you to work tonight 8-3 please -Joe

"Fucking great." I mumbled readjusting my books in my arm and looking at my phone to send a reply.

"Paisley!" I looked up to find the source of the voice calling my name. When I spotted Andy from across the field.

"Shit no no no." I mumbled quickly turning and walking away.

"Paisley!"

Keep walking keep walking.

"Paisley." I almost screamed when Andy stepped out from behind the toilets and in front of my line of view.

"Jesus christ Andy." I snapped

"Sorry, I was calling out to you." he smiled brushing his ash brown hair from his eyes.

"I know." I said through gritted teeth, "that's why I was walking away."

"Harsh." He laughed, I rolled my eyes turning again to walk to my car.

"Why are you avoiding me." he said following me.

"Because Andy, seriously how many times do I have to say no before you leave me alone?" I snap looking straight ahead my eyes on my car.

"That's not what you said two weeks ago." he pointed out obviously referring to the one night I lost my self control.

I laughed turning to face him, "Andy! I was drunk so off my face the only thing I remember is vomiting in the morning okay? look your a lovely guy and I would love to be friends with you but I'm not interested okay?" I huffed and his smile faulted.

"Friends." He said holding his hand out. I smiled relieved.

"Friends." i smiled, "That's your friend Olly right?" I said pointing over to the boy standing waiting for Andy.

"Yeah."

"Tell him to stop staring at me please, it's freaky." I said turning away.

"Okay Pais have a good night!" He yelled after me.

"Harry!" I called walking through my door. "Harry!" I called once again smiling when I heard his little feet tapping on the wooden floor.

"Hi baby." I crouched down to scratch him behind his ears.

"Your obsession with that cat is weird." my flat mate Mia said appearing from the kitchen with a bowel of crisps.

"I love this cat it's like a son to me." I said picking it up, "aren't you haz?" I cooed.

"And you couldn't call it something like fluffy or tigger? you gave it a common name." she sagged flipping her red hair from her face.
