Detrimental

Episode 12

It has been fifteen minutes of drinking tea, looking at my phone, and glancing up and down from the menu. I don't like tea but it was way too chilly for a cold drink and way too early for a hot cocoa. Stella's always late. What did I expect? I look at my phone and it starts vibrating in my hands. An unknown number flashes and for a second, I hesitate to answer.

"Who's this?"

"It's Stella, my phone died so I'm using Kate's." she explains. "I'm sorry but I've got to cancel,"

"What happened?" 

"Something came up,"

"Sure," I answer sarcastically before I hang up.

I was about to leave when a group of tattooed men stroll into the diner. I recognize one of them from the party, one from my english literature class, and two from my trip to Harry's dormitory. They seemed to be in a heated discussion on whether or not the newly released game, Desolation Aftermath, was a better version of Assassin's Creed. Fools. Of course, nothing beats the original. The one from my english lit class comes up to me and asks for what I thought. I tell him that other than better graphics, Desolation Aftermath had nothing better than the latter and they all seem to have reached a realization.

"What are your opinions on Sky Rogue and Warcraft?" one of the guys from Harry's frat asks me.

"Definitely Warcraft."

"Warcraft or League of Legends?"

"Warcraft slays."

"I like you," the guy from yesterday's party nods at me.

"Who knew Rae Evans gave a damn about these kind of stuff?" the guy from my english lit class looks at me.

"Harry's a lucky guy." the other guy from Harry's frat smiles with approval. It amuses me how fast these rumors spread.

"We're not officially together," 

"Well, that's good to hear." a familiar voice comments. I turn around and it was the guy this morning.

"I didn't know you were seriously going to stalk me." I laugh.

"So, now that I know your name, Rae Evans, will you go on a date with me?" Kennedy kneels as though he was asking me to marry him.

"Sorry, Kennedy. This girl's taken." Harry springs out of nowhere. When did he get here? "Come on, Babe, let's get out of here." Babe? I try to suppress a laugh. We exit the diner and once we were far from the vicinity, I burst into laughters.

"So, I told Louis everything."
