I Have A Crush On You?

4.

College. The place where I don't even try to dress up and go. My mother keeps bugging me about how I should be presentable in a crowd and all that, but why? I'm not there to impress anyone and I don't care if they think I'm a freak for wearing sweats or my actual pjs. If they like me or want to have a conversation with me they will do it and not say that no you are wearing pjs in college so I won't talk to you. The thing about college life is that you think way too much about how people think of you and we all deny that it's not the case but trust me it is everyone's case. If you think you are weird and different than everyone else you should be pretty happy about it if you ask me because nobody likes to be same and everyone has their own kind of weirdness in them. Nothing is permanent here even if you don't make friends it's okay it's not a big deal it's not like the world is ending. But whatever it is I don't feel like going college but I get up anyway and do my regular routine. Brushed my teeth, took a shower, got dressed into sweats and a tshirt and my hair was being very weird today so I let it be.

Jace was watching a football match when I go downstairs to make myself a cup of coffee "I'll walk to college today, you don't have to drop me." He gave me a look which meant 'are you sure you are not half sleeping'. I don't want him to drop me I want to walk today.

It's such a peaceful day. Sky is clear and I'm walking through the rows of houses, each and every other house might have a different story maybe the one to my right where a Saturn SUV is parked in the driveway, there might be 4 people living inside two kids and a wife and husband. Maybe husband is reading the morning newspaper and wife is making breakfast and kids are getting ready for school or the house at the last end of the row where a huge treehouse is there in the backyard where two teenagers around 18/19 are painting it. It's so beautiful that everyone has a different story which can be fascinating if you have enough patience to sit and listen to them. But the problem human race has got is that they don't have patience.

Till the time I reach college it's already time for lecture so I don't get to meet my 4 piece gang.

After my lecture is over I head towards cafeteria. I meet Hannah and Nikkie roaming the cafeteria apparently 'exploring' the place when I ask them what are they doing.
"Where is your boyfriend?" Nikkie says.
For once I thought she is talking to somebody but then I realised that she is looking at me with raised brows "What boyfriend? I have a boyfriend and why am i not aware of him" I say.
"I'm talking about Austin"
"I wish I had him but Vanessa does so unfortunately he ain't my boyfriend" I say wiping away my fake tears.
"I'm talking about Austin Jones you silly" Nikkie smirks. "Wait, what did I miss here?" Hannah looks at me with confused eyes.
"I seriously have no clue" I don't know why she is pairing me up with Austin.
"You two will look cute together Pipe" Nikkie says poking me in the ribs. "AUSTIN AND PIPER SITTING ON A TREE K I S S I N G" Hannah starts singing. What the hell on earth is happening here either my friends have lost their mind or I'm hearing things.
At the exact moment Austin passes by us he is walking with a guy who is tall almost 6 ft and is wearing an orange tshirt and light blue jeans with a dark blue backpack over his shoulders "Mike Finch" I look over my shoulder to see Hannah looking at him with a weird expression "You know him?" Am I the only one who is not aware about the people in my own college.
"He was in the same tennis club Anne was in" Anne is Hannah's school friend. Mike and Austin are sitting exactly diagonal to where we are sitting and I can see Austin properly he is wearing a double coloured tshirt sleeves are dark blue and the torso part of the tshirt is red. I know this tshirt because Calum has the same and Austin kinda looks like Calum. His earphones are plugged into his ears, left cord is in his hand and he is rotating them in the air and the right cord is in his ear that rotating is annoying me.
"Don't stare at him he is yours" Nikkie why is she teasing me with him out of nowhere.
"Okay stop Nikkie" I just brush it off not taking it seriously.

Sleepovers are the best. Like I really do live for sleepovers right now I'm planning to go to Madi's place for sleepover because she stays the nearest to me and do we have sleepovers once in a while. Parents are coming home tomorrow so it'd be good if I go to hers today so I can spend time with them.
"Jace I'll be going to Madi's for night"
Jace is going through his phone and smiling like a crazy person it is really creepy when you smile at your phone. I know something is going on with him I'll figure it out soon "Why are you smiling like that?"
"It's just a joke" he says thinking that I will actually trust him I'm not that stupid to buy that.
I take my phone charger, my shawl (I can't sleep with that thing) and my phone and head towards Madi's place.

Hello there!!!!!! And the tshirt which Calum is wearing in the picture is the same tshirt Austin is wearing in the chapter.

QOD: Do you have any siblings?
A: Yes, a younger brother who is annoying as hell.
