My Companion

chapter 3

The picture is of Clara

Kelbie stretched at the fresh smell of coffee "Clara?" Kelbie ask as she sat up "morning Kel. I made coffee for you" Clara smiled as she packed her bag "hey I gotta run but the coffee is there if you want it. See you later" she said as she ran out the door.

Kelbie was walking around campus with her coffee in her light red travel mug. It was her first free day and she decided to look around and see if there was a club that sparked her interest.

She plopped down on a beach after finding nothing. She sighed as pulled out her sketch book and decided to draw the landscape of the club's and people laughing. This was how Kelbie kept memories she never saw the point in pictures when she could make them herself.

She closed her sketch book after she got every little detail she could see and plugged in her headphones to relax.

She watched as the many clubs and new students walked around talking and she studied the different groups. She looked to her left where people with dark clothing and bright hair sat and everyone seemed to keep there distance as their loud rock screaming music played 'goth/emo' Kelbie hated labeling people she didn't know but that was the first thing she thought when she saw them.

She looked to her right and it was filled with boys and girls. The girls wore thick makeup and short skirts not leaving much to imagination. Kelbie looked away as one girl caught her starring.

The girl with a tight pink dress walked over in her matching pink heels "excuse me I couldn't help but notice you starring" she spoke slow but threatening. "Uh… n-no" Kelbie stuttered and looked away "hey guys look" the girl called for her friends making Kelbie get up "sorry but I need to go" Kelbie said trying to keep her voice steady and keep the fear from over taking her.

The girl pushed her back down as a guy ran over frowning "what the fuck is this?" He said looking at Kelbie "I caught her starring at my arse" she said hugging the guys arm.

Pushing the pink girl aside he picked Kelbie up from her top and pulled her close "don't you ever look at my girl again you faggot" he hissed and held his fist in the air.

"Enough!"

Kelbie closed her eyes as fear took over and felt the guy put her back down. Kelbie opened her eyes as the bitch and twat walked away. She turned around and saw her teacher Jodie.

"Hello Kelbie" Jodie smiled making Kelbie look away "uh hi" she replied.

Jodie sat next to Kelbie and looked around "it's great at this time as you get all the students together and it's the only time you see this" Jodie laughed making Kelbie laugh too "I guess your right. It's a really nice sight"

"The girls arse or the colourful scenery?" Jodie joked making Kelbie red "I didn't mean to… I just uh I just. It was a mistake" Kelbie stood up and spoke quickly trying to sort out the situation "I'm joking Kelbie" Jodie laughed.

Kelbie sat back down and they both went silent. "Well I should be off" Jodie said as she stood up "I need to prepare for your class Monday" she smiled. Kelbie jumped up "miss wait!" She shouted making Jodie eyes widen with shock "I mean… I have a question" Kelbie said softly making Jodie smiled "alright them. Come to my office tomorrow morning and I'll answer it then as I really should be going now" Jodie said as she pulled out a pen and wrote her office room number and phone number on Kelbie's arm "I'll be waiting" Jodie said as she winked.

Kelbie starred and blinked slowly. She looked at her arm and read the numbers slowly.

Kelbie burst into her dorm room and found Clara brushing her hair "oh hello Kelbie-"

"I JUST GOT A GIRLS NUMBER!" Kelbie shouted at Clara and showed Clara her arm.

Clara starred with her eyes wide "is she cute. Is she nice. Is she hot. Is she a model?" Clara questioned.

Kelbie opened her mouth then realised that she couldn't tell Clara that it was a teacher "uh yeah" Kelbie wasn't sure how to answer now.

Kelbie layed awake as the soft sounds of Clara storing filled the room 'we aren't dating. I don't even like her. It's not a date or anything' Kelbie sighed 'she gave me her number so I could ask for help… but' Kelbie groaned.

She rolled over and pull the covers over her head as she thought back to Clara 'i like Clara that way but not the teacher' Kelbie pulled at her hair as she groaned 'im think way too hard about this. She asked me to come over to help that's all' Kelbie closed her eyes as she difted to sleep.
