A shift in reality

Senior year was over and it was time to face the reality of going to college,I had always wanted to be a lawyer or maybe a doctor but I knew that all I wanted to do was to defend people so I went to law school in the South Africa for 6 years and Patrick went to Medical school in Cuba for 7 years.Honestly those years were the hardest years of my life,having to balance out the stress of a long distance relationship and having to concentrate on my studies was no walk in the park.

First year was amazing ,I met so many different people with such strange yet interesting views about life.I honestly learnt a lot,being from the states a lot of things seemed so different here like how they referred to traffic lights as robots and how they had 11 official languages which was abit overwhelming.

All in all South Africans were so welcoming but had so many questions to ask ,I had come to a conclusion that most people who had never been out of their country seemed to have this idea that these foreign countries were heaven.I did enjoy my stay there but first year became rough when I lost both my parents  but what was even more heartbreaking was how I couldn't go and bury them ,the distance really did put a strain on me.

Moreover I did get over the loss of my parents well that was after 3 years of course,letting go was not easy but after awhile I got closure.The  three years I had spent here just felt like forever ,I felt like I was alone ,sure I did have friends but it wasn't the same,I just missed being  comfortable around people I grew up with you know Tanya and all the people that actually bothered to care.

Unfortunately when I got to my fourth year in law school I was so over feeling lonely I slowly started to forget about Pat,the texting and phone calls became less frequent ,we argued a lot and ignored each other for months but a part of me still loved him.During that year I did indeed met Luke Hanes ,a  final year law student with brown hair and brown eyes,had the cutest pink lips that seemed to curl up every time he was thinking and had the body of a soccer player.He was assigned as my mentor and I had to follow him everywhere to learn the ropes of a good law student which I didn't mind at all because I got to see his buttocks,I swear they were the cutest they looked liked freshly made doughnuts from the deli right across my apartment on fourth street which became my second home because of the wifi and free coffee for regulars.

Having now spent 6 months with Hanes I knew that I had to sass up my look for him to notice me so I went on a shopping spree for two days.I became a black head with the perfect manicure,I bought shoes and clothes that were classy but sassy at the same time,I bought expensive perfume and in that moment I felt whole again.Whilst shopping I felt like a part of me was being restored after being with Pat for so long I had forgotten how to love myself because I became too comfortable with Him.

My spark was back and I was ready to sweep Hanes off his feet which I intentionally did.After two days of shopping I walked into The lecture room with my Jimmy choo shoes and hand bag with a slim fit royal blue dress and sweet pink matte lipstick on and made my Naomi Campbell grand entrance.

Hanes stared at me until I sat down ,I made sure I made no eye contact so he wouldn't catch on and crossed my legs like a real Queen.He came up to me and stuttered but he sooncleared his throat and addressed me as Miss Walker,I nearly fell of my chair but I maintained my composure and smiled confidently whilst standing up to make sure he smelt the sweet fragrance from my neck and nodded.After that day he was the first one to text  and call me,he invited me to hang out and go on dates with him,I honestly started to fall for him but a part of me was still holding onto Patrick hoping that he still loved me.
