Chapter 26
Cher's point of View:
"I just don't understand why he hates me!" I whined to Andrea as we walked down the hallway towards our dorm room.
Andrea rolled her eyes. "Oh shut up. He doesn't hate you. He's just a hard grader."
"Or he's just an asshole of a teacher."
"That too." Andrea laughed. "Oh by the way, did you ever notice Finn leaving the room last night?" She turned to me as she furrowed her perfectly shaped eyebrows.
"What? No.. why?" I questioned in confusion.
She began to fumble with the textbooks she was holding. "I don’t know. I just woke up in the middle of the night and he wasn't next to me." She bit her bottom lip. "And I got this really bad feeling about everything. But in the morning when I woke up he was back in bed as if he had never left." She turned her confused eyes on me, however, after a few seconds of silence she shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, well. It was probably just a dream anyway."
I nodded my head, however, I felt my stomach churn in an unknown way. I couldn't help but think about how suspicious it all sounded. I was probably just letting my imagination take the best of me again. "He most likely just went outside to get fresh air." I tried to push all other negative thoughts out of my head.
"Yah." Andrea smiled, but it barely reached her eyes as the uncertainty still lingered within her words. "Most defin---" however, she was suddenly caught off as a blonde girl bumped into her, causing her to drop all of her textbooks to the floor.
"OH shit I am so sorry!" The girl blurred out as she hurriedly bent over to pick up Andrea's books, her hair curtaining her face.
"Uh it's okay." Andrea said softly as she bent over and helped the girl clean up the mess.
"I am so sorry!" The girl said once more.
"It's totally fine. Here." Andrea smiled, taking the books from the girl's hand as they both began to stand up.
Staring at the blonde girl in front of me, I suddenly felt my heart stop as she pushed her hair from her face, revealing her perfect features.
"By the way, my name is--"
"Victoria." I said before I could stop. Biting back my tongue, I readied myself for another one of her famous bitch fits, but to my surprise, it never came as she smiled politely.
She giggled. "Yes." Her sparkling eyes turned to me. "Cher. I haven’t seen you for a while! Where have you been girl?!" She screeched in an overly excited tone as she jumped to hug me.
Swallowing hard, I felt my body tense up as her arms wrapped around me.
"Oh so you're not going to hug me back?" She smiled against my shoulder.
"Uh.. should I?" my arms fell limp to my side as I let her squish me in her tight and obviously fake bear hug. What was up with the bitch? She was probably high.
She shook her head as she finally let go. "Oh you silly duck!" She giggled once more as Andrea threw me her 'what the fuck is wrong with you' look. But if there was something wrong with anyone, it would definitely be Victoria. As for me, I was beyond star stuck and confused.
"I'm Andrea." She took her hand out for Victoria to shake, but instead of a formal hand shake, Victoria pulled her into a hug just like mine. Wow what a great hugger this girl had become all of a sudden.
Andrea laughed as she hugged Vic back tightly. And suddenly, I felt a slight tint of jealousy struck in the pit of my stomach.
"So how do you like it here, Andrea?" Vic asked sweetly, and with that, they were deep into their own little conversation, completely forgetting my presence beside them.
"ehm mhm" I cleared my throat for the third time in an attempt to attract their attention. I was completely starting to lose my patience standing there being ignored by my best friend, and well should I say 'former enemy' as they seemed to be having so much in common.
"OH MY GOSH! YOU TOO?!" Andrea screamed a shrill scream as they began to jump and down together in excitement. Too much excitement. "NIALL IS MY FAVORITE TOO!!"
"Uh…" I tried to push myself into their obviously closed conversation. "I think he's cute too." I smiled softly, however, I was thrown aback as they both turned their eyes on me, their smiles fading as they looked at me in confusion.
"Cher, you don’t even like One Direction." Andrea scrunched up her face in annoyance.
Swallowing hard, I felt my pulse begin to race. I opened my mouth to respond, but quickly closed it as no words came out.
After a few seconds of awkward silence, they threw me a judgmental look before they looked away and sank right back into their conversation.
Sighing, I pursed my lips as I turned around on my heels and walked towards the door. And to my disbelief, Andrea didn’t even notice me leaving.
"Zoe? You in there?" I knocked louder as I waited for Zoella to come out of her dorm room. Shifting on my feet, I was almost starting to give up before I heard her tiny foot steps behind the wooden door.
"Cher!" Zoe smiled as she popped her head of the door frame, a white towel wrapped around her hair. "Come in, sorry I just showered." She giggled as she slowly cracked the door open, letting me slide into her room. "Where have you even been hun?!" She furrowed her eyebrows as she gave me a gentle hug.
I shrugged quietly, sitting on her bed.
"What's wrong?" She frowned as she began to sit next to me on the bed.
I shook my head in confusion. "What's with Victoria?
"huh? What about her?"
"I don’t know. She seems…" I paused as I tried to look for the write word. "Different."
Zoe shrugged her shoulders. "Well I haven't noticed anything different about her. Except that she's moving out." A sudden smile began to form on Zoe's red lips.
"What?!" I tried to take in the newly found information. "To where? Since when?"
"Since yesterday man." Zoe laughed. "She suddenly got this crazy idea of wanting to be in a sorority. "
I squinted my eyes in stun. "It's the middle of the damn semester!"
"I know! I didn't understand it either. But I'm just bloody glad she's out of my room!" Zoe stood up in excitement as she began to walk to her mirror.
I chuckled. "So you have to whole dorm to yourself now?"
"I wish." She sighed, pulling the towel from her wet hair. "The campus doesn't let, so I'm moving to Alfie and Caspar's room. Which reminds me," She turned around to look at me. "You and Andrea can move into this room because it'll be empty. Trust me, I'll be doing you both a favor for not having to deal with the twins." She rolled her eyes at the thought of the boys. Oh, if she only knew.
"Eh… they're not that bad." I shrugged my shoulders, deciding not to reveal anything personal about my current relationship with Jack. She would completely lose it if she found that I'd lost my virginity to him.
"Not that bad? What's with you?" She twisted her eyebrows in confusion. "Jack is a complete ass hole and Finn is a fucking criminal for god's sake!"
"Let's keep in mind that at one point you were best friends with them." I raised an eyebrow suggestively.
"At one point." She sighed as she picked up her brush and turned back to face the mirror.
"He's changed." I blurred out before I could hold it back. Cursing myself mentally, I noticed her squint her blue eyes in suspicion.
After a few silent seconds, she slowly turned around. "Is there something I need to know about?" She peered down at me as she put a hand to her hip.
Swallowing hard, I shook my head. "No."
"You slept with him didn't you?"
