School started a week ago, and You've been noticing there's something up with Xavia. She's been hiding, You never see her on the breaks and her Chemistry notebook is twice as thick as all the others.
"Hey, Xav, what's up?" You approach her as she speed-walks through the door to your last class on Friday. "Haven't had much time to talk IRL this week"
"Yeah, we haven't. How have you been?"
"It's the first week of class and I'm already too stressed out for my own good"
"Haha, same" she answers almost dryly.
"Are you feeling okay?" You're genuinely worried for her, she's your best friend.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"
"Just because"
"Oh. Ok." You see the professor walking into the classroom and Xavia run to her seat that is beside yours anyway. You follow her and go on to take the class without carrying on any further with your conversation.***
When the bell rings, Xavia speed-walks out of the classroom, something you've noticed her doing quite a lot lately —Speed-walking—.
When you get home you keep wondering what's going on with your best friend since kindergarten. Her brown eyes have been quite sparkly, too, but she has been completely closed off and purposely avoiding everyone.
***
On Saturday morning, a text from her wakes you up.
«Hey, Matt»
«Hi»
«How are u?»
«I just woke up, so I'm sleepy haha»
«I woke up like three hours ago lol»
«LOL. What are you doing?»
«Nothing much, just watching TV. U?
«Literally rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.»
[Queen of cheesburgers is typing...] You chuckle as the nickname she set for herself in your phone reminds you of that one time that she managed to eat eight cheeseburgers in one hour.
[...]
«Nice timing on my side then»
«Quite good, yeah» you type, deciding not to admit that she woke you up.
«Hey I'm so sorry I gtg but I'll text you later, ok?»
«K bye»
