Sara POV// Classes start today. I'm honestly super excited for them. I really need something to keep me busy. I haven't had much to do down here because I don't know anyone. Kate has been amazing and she lives 3 doors down from me. My first class is maths ( which is how they pronounce "math" down here) then I have English and grammar and after that I don't have anymore until later in the evening. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I got dressed and put on some faded jeans and a shirt that was the print of the British flag that was flowers. A pair of blue converse and a necklace. I didn't want to deal with my hair so I slapped it up in a bun. Then I headed to my first class. The campus of the university is beautiful. They have these path ways that in either side are filled with flowers and the trees are just gorgeous.

It is so beautiful! I need to go outside more. I finally arrived at my class and saw Kate sitting down with a seat next to her. I walked over to it and sat. "Hey what's up with you?" Kate asked.
"Not much. The campus is beautiful!" I said in complete amazement.
Yeah, that's one I the reasons I picked this university." Kate responded with a smile.
"Yeah I can't wait to walk around it more" I said as the teacher got up to the front of the little classroom.
The teacher lectured for the rest I the hour and I was talking notes for almost the whole class which was not fun but it was whatever.
After class Kate and I went to a little coffee shop that was about a half mile away from the class.
" so have you met any guys?" She says with a smirk on her face.
"Umm.. Not really." I say slightly choking on my coffee. Kate's face changes from a smirk to a to a look of concern. She can tell that something is wrong.
"I can tell there is more to that story but, I won't push. You can trust me though I promise." She reaches over to put her hand in my and give me a smile. I can tell she is being genuine but I'm not ready to tell her what has happened in my life. I don't even like thinking about it much less tell someone about it.
"Thank you I'm just not ready. I've been through a lot and it is really hard for me to think about it much less tell anyone about it." I explained.
" I understand, about 5 years ago my parents were killed in a car accident and it wasn't until last year that I was able to drive a car without having a panic attack. Life sucks to be honest with you. But it gets better." She looks down as finishes her story.
"Wow. Well, let's just said I have been hurt by a lot of people and most of those people are guys. And I have a hard time letting myself be close to guys because I know what they are capable of. I mean they are awful people. They just want to hurt you and use you for sex. Why would anyone want that in their life. I just don't understand people who are married do they just not care about being used for sex or being beat when they say no" I had to stop because I couldn't talk through the sobs. I couldn't stop crying.
Kate leaned over and gave me the biggest hug.
"Listen, at some point you have to let yourself love again. Because all men are not like that. If you find the right one they loving and kind and they just want to make you happy and yeah sometimes you fight but it's normal. You just didn't have the right men in your life. It's hard to let yourself be loved when all you know is the opposite. But you won't be alone. I'm right here and I'm not leaving you. I can help you." When she stopped I couldn't believe what she was staying.
Could it be true? Was it possible for a man to love you and not use you for the sex? I want to know what that feels like but, how do I find the right one?
I looked over at Kate and said," Will you help me find the right guy? How do you find the right guy?" I wiped the tears off my face and see Kate smiling snd nodding.
" you just have to spend time with as friends before you jump in to anything. And I feel like for your situation at some point you need to tell the guy, because I'm assuming there is a guy, what's going on." Kate responded
"I'm not sure if I can do that." I mumble as I looked down at my coffee cup.
"Hey you aren't alone anymore. You got me. But let's get out of this shop and head to our next class. We don't want to be late. " Kate stated and started to get up.
I followed her and as I was walking to put my coffee cup in the trash a ran into someone.
" We really should stop meeting like this." A male voice said and he helped me up from the floor.
As I looked up I realized it was Alex. He was holding on to my arm and staring at me with his beautiful green eyes. His brown hair making his eyes pop even more. I don't think I have every notice just how attractive he was. He has brown hair that was laid down and his eyes were a glowing green color. He has a little stubble on his chin.
"You okay?" He asks again
"Yeah sorry I zoned out there for a little bit." I replied trying not to make it obvious that I totally just checked him out.
"It's okay I have the affect on people. Just kidding." He replied with a smirk
"Umm I hate to break this up but we need to get to class. By the way I'm Kate." Kate introduced herself.
"Oh yeah sorry for running into again. But I have to get to class." I replied. I told him by and left to go to my class. Wow this had been an eventful day.
