Until we meet again (Currently editing)

Under pressure

Later on in the year (maybe a few months)

I was sat on my bed, sorting through my coursework. I had so much to do, and even though I handled brilliantly under pressure, this was too much.

And I was struggling.
I put my head in my hands, sighing.
At this rate, I'd fail the course.

My laptop made a noise and I saw that I had an email from Mr Scott my engineering teacher.

I opened it:

Katherine, I'm going to need your engineering essay in by the end of the week.

Mr Scott

I screamed in frustration.
Give me a break!!

I put my coursework in my folder and threw myself onto the bed.
My phone suddenly rang, making me jump. I looked at the caller ID. It was Nick.
I pressed answer. 'Hey.'

'Hey babe, how are you?' He replied enthusiastically.

'Fine.' I said flatly.

'You don't sound fine.' He paused. 'What's wrong? Is it Ramona? You been in an argument?'

'What, no, no. We're cool.' I said.

'Then what is it? Coursework? The work is quite pressurising.' He guessed.

'What, no, I'm doing great with coursework.' I lied. 'I'm fine, I think I'm just tired. From late nights watching movies with my roommate.'

This was the first time I lied to Nick and it felt wrong. But for some reason I didn't want Nick to see me being weak about something.
But since when did I care about that?

'You want me to come over, give you a shoulder massage?' He offered. 'C'mon, can I tempt you?'

'Sorry babe, but no, I've got a class in ten minutes.' I lied again. 'I'll call you again tonight, okay?'

'Yeah, bye beautiful.' He said and I hung up.

I actually had the afternoon off, so I got a coffee from the cafe and carried on with my coursework.
