We reached Ethan's flat by ten. Em was sitting on the sofa with one of her friends watching a movie.
"Hey Freya!" Ethan called across the room. Both her and Em waved.
"Josh's girlfriend," He mouthed to me. I nodded and smirked.
"Mate, I'm going to catch up on some sleep. Help yourself to the kitchen if you'd like a snack, Ethan yawned.
"Thanks," I say gratefully.
Then it hit me. I had missed class today playing football. Shaking my head, I went to the room I was staying in and sat on the bed, thinking. After a bit, Em knocked on the door.
"Come in," I groaned. She sat next to me.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm sleep deprived, stressed, missed all my classes today..." And I broke Cal's heart, I was tempted to say.
"You don't even like school! Maybe it isn't for you!" She said, giving me a hopeful look.
I sat up, "what do you mean? Resign from University? My mum would kill me!"
"She would understand if you hate it that much, right?"
I pondered for a moment. Would my mother understand? She barely understood my sexuality, but she wanted me to be happy, right?
"You know what? I will. Tomorrow, I'm going back to do just that."
Em patted me on the back with satisfaction.

In the morning there was a loud bang at the door that went on for at least a minute. No one answered it and it started again, so I decided to go see who it was. Slowly, I creeped down the hallway, trying not to wake anyone up. The pounding kept going.
I jumped to the door, catching the feeling of the cold knob, and fling it open.
It was JJ.
