University

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Day one.

[[ ( FLASH BACK ) ]]

I thought that if I applied at Harvard university I'd be able to get away from all the bullying that I have endured during my schooling years. 

However that was not going to happen any time soon. my worst night mare became my shadow. He ended up following me to the same university. 

You must be thinking 'whose this girl talking about?' well I'm about to answer that for you. Vernon, my first cousin who spoke to my dad behind closed doors just after I announced to everyone that I had got accepted at Harvard University, saying that "uncle, sending Valarie on her own to Harvard is not a good idea. You never know what sort of trouble she can get herself into or she might meet someone you would not approve of and run away with him." my father had no other choice but to send him with me.

Dad also went the distance of even paying for all his classes, plane tickets and to top it off his accommodation whereas I had to pay out of my own pocket, leaving the biggest hole right in the middle. what i mean by that is now i am completely broke and would have to find a part time job.  

[[ ( TIME SKIP TO FIRST DAY AT UNIVERSITY ) ]

The first day at uni was not at all how i had imagined things to happen. my dorm was made up of three students. i was thank full that the girls who were in my dorm were kind and easy to get along with. Amber and Krystal were slightly taller than me both blond with hazel brown eyes with two very different career pathways. 

Amber's studying to go into the profession of Art whereas Krystal is planning on becoming one of the most famous Lawyer by taking Law, leaving me to Music and Vernon to Business. 

After unpacking and taking turns showering we decided to go out for dinner just outside of campus.

Amber started the conversation on our way to the restaurant "So Krystal and Valarie do either of  you know anyone here apart from us?" 

"No, no I don't. what about you two?" Krystal said. I sighed out loud then answered Amber's question, "Yeah I do." 

Both girls stopped and turned to face me with identical shocked faces. "WHO?!" they said in sync. 

"My cousin. He applied here when he heard I got accepted. His taking the business classes." 

Both girls looked at me with wide grins. I shook my head at them with a light laugh. when I lifted my head to look at them their expressions had changed, they were both staring at something behind me. I turned around to see what it was only to be greeted by my cousins firm chest. 

"Ow!" my nose just got squashed on purpose by Vernon's chest.

"Where do you think you'er going at this time of the night? I don't remember you letting me know you'er leaving your dorm Val!" Vernon was practically raising his voice with every word that he uttered. 

My ears were turning red from all the unwanted attention i was receiving from the by passers and the two friends i had just made.

"Well?" Vernon was demanding an answer from me and all i could do was burst into tears, push past him and run back to my dorm. I couldn't take it any more. my heart was aching and my eyes are starting to dry up as if it had no more tears left to shed. It wasn't long after i had reached my room that Amber and Krystal came in and comforted me. 

It was the first time anyone had come to see if I was okay instead of siding with my cousin.

"you okay bub?" Krystal asked. I nodded my head. i couldn't speak. my throat felt tight and my mouth felt dry.  Amber handed me a mug saying,   "drink this love, you'll feel better."  Then wiped my face with a tissue.

Amber and Krystal spoke to me throughout the night, comforting me, telling me not to worry and planning many ways to get him back for the way he treated me.

It was around four in the morning when we were all asleep that I heard a knock at the door. At first I thought I was dreaming but then the knocking got louder and my eyes fluttered open. With a groan I got out of bed and cursed whoever was on the other side of the door for disturbing me at this time in the morning. I opened the door without looking through the peep hole. it took a while for me to realize who was standing before me.

"Vernon!" my mind raced back to the events that took place last night. i tried to close the door but he put his foot in the way making my heart stop for only a nano-second. 

"What is it you want" I hissed at him.

"Come out side now or you'll be sorry for running away from me last night without answering me and for trying to slam the door in my face and hurting my foot!" Vernon sounded like he was about to rip my head right off my shoulders.   

I obeyed and walked out side behind Vernon looking at his hands turn into a fist then then go slack. he did that a couple of time before turning around to face me. He took a step closer to me making me stumble backwards. his expression changed for the slightest second making him look as if he was worried about me.

~LOL. what the heck are you thinking about!~ i said to my self mentally ~him! look worried about you! Ha, in my wildest fantasy.~ 

"sorry about last night." Vernon said in a small voice. my eyes widened and i asked my self if i was going deaf then pinched my self to see if this was a dream.

"I don't know why but i feel over protective of you Val. I know you hate it but I can't help my self."  Vernon was saying all sorts of things while I stood their trying my best to snap back in to reality. 

Vernon took another step closer to me and I stumbled backwards again. "Can you please stop being afraid of me Val." Vernon sounded like a wounded puppy.

"How can I when all you ever do is make me cry or yell at me or make me look like a complete idiot in-front of everyone. V, you have been doing this to me since childhood I thought you'd grow up and start acting like a man but I was wrong. You're still as immature as you were the day you purposely used my room for your pleasure and left your rubbish on my bed making it look like I was the one who had just had sex. Can't you learn to take responsibility for your mistakes and wrong doings? Is that too much to ask for? Can you not let me be? Can you not see me happy?" 

That was the first time I had taken out all my anger and said everything I wanted to.
