"Sometimes, the wrong choices bring us to the right place."
That's what happens to Charlotte Swansea, a student from one of the best University in the world, a very great ballerina, and a poor decision maker.
Being pregnant on her second year of c...
"For this Cognitive Neuroscience and Experimental Psychology project,I want you to do this in a group. Each group contains 2 and max 3 students. Each group has to contain boys and girls." My professor says in front of the class. "We are going to do a laboratory work so, choose your partner wisely."
Yeah! Group project. I say to myself. A group project is one of my favourite. I get to choose the people that I want to work with and by that, I can get to know their abilities, so next time, I can ask them to do things for me. What can I say ? I'm a little parasite on the inside.
The whole class is being busy with finding a partner. Me ? I'm still analysing who has more impact in the class and who has not. I need to find the right partner so I don't have to do this project all by myself.
I see my prey. He is sitting alone in the first line, wearing a dark grey hoodie. It's Benjamin Newton. He is smart and I dislike him less than the other class. "Benjamin, right ?"
The guy with camouflage green eyes looks up at me. "Yeah ?"
"Would you like to be my partner ?" I ask, giving him my best smile and hard to resist puppy eyes. It takes a while for him to answer.
"Sure." He says giving back a smile to me, showing a little part of his white teeth.
"Great! Thank you." My eyes are on him, studying his face. His face is covered with beard, a freckles spreads across his nose and cheeks, he has thick eyebrows that colour is matched with his hair, dark. "This is my number.."
"I already have," Benjamin cuts my words. I don't remember if I ever gave him my number.
"Okay..." I reply awkwardly. "Can you text me or something ? Because I don't have yours."
"Sure." From his behavioral, I learn that Benjamin is a good looking withdrawn man. I see insecurities in his eyes. Maybe I was wrong, but I like to explore him even more.
"Okay class, I see you next week." The professor says.
"I'll see you around," I say before leaving Benjamin by himself.

It's 4 pm. My last class is finally over. I'm thinking to myself about going to have some ice cream or something. I'm craving for something sweet today.
There is one ice cream shop near my flat. I always buy my ice creams there and I'm going to get rocky road today. I can feel the taste of chocolate, chopped nuts, and marshmallows melt in my mouth.
*ding*
I have a text message. I grab my phone from my pocket and check who sends me a text message.
"Hey Charlie.. it's Ben 👋🏽"
Benjamin texts me just like what I told him do to. He's using emoji, I guess I should reply him with one too. At first, I thought Benji is not one of the emoji guy.
