Today is just the first day, and yet I already want the year to end.
Why so?
Because all of the classes I have gone to today, was containing, "the jerk face".
AP calculus, food tech, English, literature and worst of all he is in a subject that I love the most. Art.
Why is God so mean to me? Did I ever do anything to offend him? I know that I am no saint. But I am no drug addict, nor whore, nor those bad people around the world! So why is this happening to me?

The most awaited class has finally come to a start. Lunch.
I am already exhausted, even though the day has yet to end. I still have like what? 3 more subjects to go, and I sure hope to whoever is listening to my prayers, that Mr. Jerk face is in none of those subjects.
I told Hazy that I will meet her and my brothers at the cafeteria, which is located in the west wing of the campus. This place is such a damn maze that I have to carry a map, until I get use to walking around.
Finally reaching my locker, I unlock my combination lock and dump all of my books inside and take my food out, which consisted of a tuna sandwich, apple and water. Tuna sandwich, yum.
Carrying my bag, to which I have put my lunch into, I take out my map and start heading towards where the supposed cafeteria is.
As I pass by the hall, people are chattering, eating, laughing, fooling around, and some reading a book. Typical, I guess some habits don't end. I can still, see groups of people in their own worlds. Geeks, bitch queens, sluts, jocks, playboys etc. Guess things never change even after high-school.

I finally reach two wide doors, that each has the word cafeteria stuck on it. I open it, and is presented, with loud students eating their lunches.
I roll my eyes and try to look to where my brothers are sitting. After what feels like 15 years, I finally spot them in a higher part of the cafeteria. I guess cafeterias also have labels?
I walk towards to where they are sitting, when I stop and freeze in my spot, for seeing... my ex-boyfriend. Thought I was going to say Mr. Jerk face? Got you there.
But you know what. It will be heaven if it was Mr. Jerk Face instead of one of my ex-boyfriends.
And the worst thing is, its Adrian Relie. The guy who I saw sucking face with Hailee, back in high school.
I didn't know that he is also going to this college.
Of course you don't, you cut connections with him, didn't you? More like cut connections with guys. My inner thoughts talking back to me.
Typical me and my inner thoughts. I must be crazy.
I am about to turn back and just give a reason later to why I didn't go to lunch when, Alexis, shouts my name.
"Athena! Come on whats taking you so long?" he shouts. The good thing was, is that I wasn't too far from them. Which only made a few heads turn to me.
"Fuck my life". I say under my breath.

I give of a fake smile and start to walk to my doom.
Adrian is staring at me. I know, even though I'm definitely not looking at him. I can just feel his eyes on me.
I finally got to the table and sat next to Hazzy, far away from Adrian who is at the other end of the table.
"Arie" Adrian says my name, everyone looking back and forth towards me and Adrian.
He calls me Arie, combining my first name and last name. I let him call me that when dated. When he used to cuddle with me. Used to kiss me. Used to give me flowers. When I used to love him. But it's quite funny actually, I used to love that name, but now I hate it with a passion. I can't believe he is calling me using that name.
The air surrounding the table is so tense, so thick, that you can cut it with a bread knife.
I ignore him and start a conversation with Hazzy about how her classes went.
Adrian keep calling to me, keep on trying to get my attention to him. He finally gives up.
"Athena" He says in a defeated tone.
I calmly turn my attention to him and looks at him dead straight in the eyes with no emotion on my face.
"Yes? Is there something you want to talk about"? I say calmly, yet I'm raging inside. I don't even know why my brother's let him sit here, when they know what he did to me. Stupid brothers of mine.
When I spoke, the whole table went silent and watch our exchange. It's been like what, 4 years now when I last see him, so this is actually the first time I met him after 4 years. And I was happy about that. It meant no drama. But no, this has to happen.
Could this day get any worse?
"Can we...talk...Please?" he says with determination and pleading coating his words.
Honestly, I don't want to talk to him after all of the things he has done to me. I just can't talk to him. I just can't. But you know what, I am not the same girl who will get heartbroken again so I decided to let him talk.
"Sure why not. Should we go somewhere...private?" I suggested, because I seriously don't want to talk to him of whatever he wants to talk about in front of my nosy brothers and his friends. But I sure will talk about it later to Hazzy.
Groans of desperate boys wanting to know what it's about is heard around the table. I send a glare to each of one of them. Hazzy, trying to hide her small giggles to herself. Finding the situation funny. But I knew better, she's worried as well as me, to what this talk is going to be.
Adrian and I both stand up and we walk out of the cafeteria. I, walking ahead of him towards the place I found out when I first visited the college.
I sat down first and silence took over.
I stare of into space until he clears his throat catching my attention.
"Arie...I"
