Chapter Eighteen

Milly said we'd meet in the lawn. I've been sitting here for an hour from the actually meeting time and I'm going to kill her for that. I've been doing my emperor Nero research the whole time and since I've started with it the week I got sick, I managed to finish it just a few minutes ago.

Vlad came to join me 10 minutes after I'm done with my research and kept rambling about our high school years when we sat in the park, drink cheap bear, pretend to do homework and later end up in a party of someone we barely know. We were 16 that time and we don't really know what we're doing. We think we do but really we were just doing what people do in the movies.

Everytime I think back on those times, I've always hated and regretted my mistakes and always have looked at them in a negative way. No one ever told me or at least gave me a heads up that these mistakes are laughable too. A few, maybe, but the point is, the people who know me before I was reformed recall and use these mistakes against me.

Even my mother.

But Vlad's here, the least person I hoped I'd laugh at these memories with is here. He's making me look at them in a positive way and made me laugh about how ridiculous I was. How stupid and naive we were. After laughing at them, I felt a slight weight lifted from my chest or brightening up that dark side of my life.

The moment I heard chattering coming from the building. I immediately spot Milly and Perrie coming out of the door. Not really chattering in a way they usually do. More like complaining. My smile dropped when I saw Carrie trailing behind them. Vlad said goodbye when the group was getting closer but Carrie caught us and gave me a look.

I direct my attention to Milly who's been cussing ever since she came out of the building.
"The professor is a dick! He kept us in there for 2 hours!" Milly complained, crossing her arms.

"All professors are insensitive little pus-"

I nudge Perrie as my professor from animation walked passed us. Perrie gasped and covered her mouth, slightly blushing as she hid behind me. Luckily he didnt hear, otherwise; Perrie's toast.

"Careful with your choice of words in the open." I tell her making her laugh nervously.

"That's ironic coming from you, Meg." Carrie pipes from behind me. I roll my eyes at her and ignored her presence that's setting me off from the beginning.

"Let's get out of here." Milly's tone was annoyed as she dragged me across the lawn, luckily. I didnt want to walk alongside Carrie as she kept throwing her threats in my face.

Milly led us to the stadium of QIU where their football team's training for their game with our school this Saturday. It's not a big match but whoever wins takes a step up this season. We had to fight the guard to let us in since its a tough competition between TUA and QIU ever since they can recall. For both universities, the football matches have always been a big challenge. And since all of us are from TUA, it was kind of difficult for us to get in this time. They only let us in after we told them none of use were in the football team of our school. We could've just told them that in the beginning.

After their practice, the other boys went to take a shower. The only ones left on the field were Niall, Harry and some of their other teammates. It was clear for us to go to field so we did.

"You're not scared to go on the field anymore?" Carrie mocks me just before I went into the field. I ignored her since she started tagging along this afternoon and I'm not going to let that little remark ruin everything.

I stepped onto the field and immediately walk over to Niall who's laughing along with his teammate who was just about to leave, thank goodness.

"Hey Coffee Girl." He says with a bright smile. I chuckle and shake my head.
