One and Only

Chapter 22

Thea's P.O.V.

I have arrived at college. I got my schedule for my classes and now I'm heading to my dorm. I'll finally get to meet Bella in person. We've texted and talked on the phone but never in person.

"211, 212, 213" here we are. Dorm 213.
I opened in the door and put some of my stuff down. I heard a squeal and turned around to Bella walking out of the bathroom.

"Hi! It's great to meet you in person! Do you mind if I hug you?" Bella asked.
I opened my arms for a hug, "It's nice to properly meet you as well."
"I didn't choose a bed cause I wanted you to see which one you'd like. But I prefer the one by the door." She giggled.
"That's fine. I'll take the one by the window." I smiled.
College is so weird. It's like high school but you have more freedom and teachers are called professors. Most of classes are in the morning which I don't mind since I'm normally awake anyway. Bella and I have became close since we started talking before college started. She actually was sexually abused to. I think we kinda bonded over that. But she's super cool to which is even better. We headed to the welcoming rally thing. Basically where the principal introduced himself and tells you to do your best because he doesn't want the stats of the school to go down. Well he doesn't say that exactly but pretty much what he's meaning. Bella and I decide to just go chill in our room.

"So how are you?" She asks
"Peachy." I say and smile.
"I know I haven't known you that long, but I do know when you say that you're not peachy." She replies.
"I'm okay." I shrug.
"Boy trouble?"
"More like not talking to my boyfriend much for almost 2 weeks and I found out he's tagged in pictures with a pretty blonde." I say trying to not get angry.
"Oh hell no. I wanna see this bitch."
"I can't show you cause I don't see what he's tagged in."
"He blocked you from seeing his tagged post? What's his Twitter name I'll search him."
"mikeymiles34"
She searched both twitter and Instagram.
"Wonder what brand she is?" She asked. I looked at her with a confused face.
"What Barbie maker brand." She said with a serious face. I busted out laughing.
"I love you already." I say after I stopped laughing.
"Well I mean, half of the things on her body isn't real, and she wears more makeup than me which is saying something cause I wear a lot of makeup."
"Wanna take a selfie for Instagram with me?"
"Duh!" She said
I posted it on Instagram with the caption: New roommate. New best friend?
Of course I texted Emma telling her nobody would take her place before she seen the picture. Which is true. Nobody could replace Emma. I think that's why I like Bella so much because she reminds me of Emma. Bella and I stayed up talking for a couple hours. We went to sleep since we both start our classes tomorrow morning.

I get up before my alarm and start getting ready for the day. I did my normal eyeliner, mascara, foundation, and concealer. I choose to wear regular skinny jeans and a white shirt with black vans. I put a beanie on and I was ready to go. As I was leaving Bella was up getting ready.

"Good luck today." She said with a smile.
"You too." I smile back.

I go to my first class which is, critical thinking and reasoning. Second class is civil procedure. Third class is criminal law. And finally the last class of the day is legal research and legal writing. Today was the easy day in each class. It was the introductory day. The actual class work will begin tomorrow. Yay.

*after the first week of college*

I got through the first week of classes. I only have how many weeks more? I know a lot. It's not too bad. I enjoy my classes and my professors are nice and a little crazy. Bella is great. I get along with her so well and easy. Which is weird cause I don't really get along with people easy. Mikey and I haven't talked much. Maybe once a day. And he's been tagged in more pictures with the blonde chick. Bella actually searched social media until she found her. Her name is Madelyn. Which fits her. It hurts. Really bad. But I don't show it. I try to do things to take my mind off it. If I don't have spare time I can't feel things. I love that boy. More than ever. I guess distance does make the heart grow founder. Well it does mine at least. Some nights I use Bella's phone to look through Mikey's Twitter and Instagram. I torture myself. Nobody knows that Mikey and I got to this point. I haven't told anybody. When people ask I either tell them we're fine or that we're going as good as we can. Which I don't like lying but if I tell them the truth then I would have to talk about it and I don't want to talk about it. I just want Mikey. I want my Mikey. Its Friday which means I don't have classes tomorrow. Yay. Time to catch up on work. Bella went to some party tonight but I didn't wanna go. So tonight for me in laying in bed watching tv, eating, and trying to talk to Mikey. I've made effort. I've texted him first so many times. Was I stupid for thinking this could work? Should I prepare myself for him saying the words that will shatter me? I need to find something to do so I can get my mind off this. Which means I'm going to stuff my face with food and play music quiet loudly and then go to bed. Yay. College life is so fun!
