Camilla P.O.V

Few months later, seniors' graduation day....

Today is the graduation day for the seniors.It's been a heck of a year that went by.Phew..!! Lissy is apparently going to stay in Italy for a few more days.She's been to Italy to meet her grandparents.Her grandfather is an Italian and her grandmother is a Dutch.It's her grandparents' wedding anniversary celebrations.She and her family had lovingly invited me too but I stayed back due to my over demanding part-time job as a designer and also was loaded with some assignments.Hence I skipped it."It would have been so much fun though in Italy",I thought with a sad smile.So I had the entire house to myself,alone and boring.
Due to the graduation day's occasion,all my schedule had gone haywire.Some lectures were pre and post-poned.The graduation ceremony would be held in this afternoon.
I was back from my job and it's afternoon now.I felt tired and opted for a shower.After shower,I cooked some pasta to eat.While I was chewing a mouthful of white sauce cheesy chicken pasta,my phone started ringing.
Ring...ring...ring..."Malo....",I spoke with my mouth full.I wanted to say hello but it sonded like malo."It's Camilla right?I'm Zac here calling you to inform that you'll be having an economics lecture in the evening by 7.00 pm at the house opposite to the old library",said a boy from the other end of the call."But why are you calling instead of professor informing me..?",I asked back."Umm...uhh...b-because he said me to do it for him as he was busy.Okay bye,gotta go.Be there by seven",Zac said a bit uncomfortably and way too fast."Weird",I thought and I frowned thinking why the hell was the class so late.It wasn't the case always.But whatever, I had to go.Since I will be gone for the evening,I took a nap in the afternoon.By the time I woke up,it was already 6:30 pm.Jeez...I am a heavy sleeper.I quickly freshened up and got dressed for the evening class.I packed my bag with the required books and stationary.I was wearing black tight jeans paired with a cute knit sweater top since it's cooler outside,with no makeup at all and a messy bun for my hair.I slipped into a pair of sneakers, went out the door and locked it as Lissy wasn't at home.I walked towards the old library ,as it wasn't much far away.Just few blocks from my place.I speedily walked and reached the old library and searched around for the house opposite to it as mentioned by 'Zac' named guy.I found a house,but it wasn't just a house.It was a freaking penthouse !! I looked at the house, admiring it."How could economic professor take a class over here?",I asked myself.Strange.I looked around to check if I was mistaken,but found none other house opposite to the old library.I made my way towards the house.It had a gate which were open already.What I saw next,amazed me and made me nervous too.The penthouse was decorated with lights and it's surroundings were lightened up too.It felt more weirder.Now I even saw all the university girls and boys having fun,some dancing,some drinking and smoking,some sprawled up near the pool.It was freakishly crowded and absolutely NOT what I expected. I had already entered the house premises and now everyone were staring at me.They were staring at me with distaste,especially girls.I never felt so embarrassed and nervous of myself.Everybody were dressed as if for a party.Boys handsomely and girls skimpily dressed,looking a fine piece of a*s."This is the wrong address or......OH !!! FU*K.SHIT",I said as I realised that the call was all a prank.A dirty prank.I felt mad at myself,at the people staring at me and "so called Zac".I turned my back and was leaving but as I was about to leave,I stopped in my tracks hearing my name and a voice.A voice so disgustingly familiar,which I had avoided for these many months."Well..well...well.Look who we have here.Miss Camilla Evans",said none other than a*shole Mr.Chris Lawrence.I turned to face him.He was smirking with his hands folded casually and relaxed.He looked the same as that day,the incident-on-university campus-day.Chris and I had avoided each other like plague since the day until now.I remember the day.....
After I was home with Lissy,I was crying like a baby for some time,on the couch.The charade and brave face that I had pulled off was now gone.I was stolen off my first kiss.I had punched a guy.I had said aweful words to the guy.It's not that I hate myself for doing all those things,nor do I regret.Infact,I am proud of myself.It's the thing that I don't like and appreciate unpleasant conversations and picking up fights.Lissy was there by my side the entire time...okay it was just 1 hour of my emotional drama.So what?I'm not a cry baby.It's a big thing that I cried today.After my crying and all,I had washed my lips,rubbing and srcubbing the life out of them untill they were sore.I wanted to get rid off that bast*rds dirty germs from me.From that day,neither Chris nor I came each other's way....
I came to the present with everyone laughing at me,along with Chris.Some dared to even whistle at the ongoing scene.I stood there dumbstruck."What the fu*k's happening and what have I put myself into?",was my last thought.
