The Come Back

CHAPTER 2

Brick was really enjoying this, who knows if he actually planned this. I was however hating this cause I had come all the way from California for a change, to have a better life or something to make me forget what happened between me and Brick but it seemed that no matter how fast I ran, my past always caught up with me. Putting my hands on my hips, I look at him in a stern glare.

"You have no right to be here following me and pretending to be my roommate. If this is a setup stop it Brick cause it ain't funny" I protested not even wanting to imagine myself sharing a room with him. Brick stared into my face all surprised and speechless at what I had just told him. He went to the other side of the room and was searching for something, then he found it and lifted it up to my face. It was an ID card showing his face and information. My eyes popped as I knew that he wasn't playing games.

"This is all for real. Like I am seriously in the same room with Brick!" I said mentally to myself. I couldn't believe that this was seriously happening to me. I closed my eyes and pinched my self thinking this was all a bad dream only to have them opened, seeing Brick standing closer to me than I had anticipated, 'MY GOD,' i said to myself this isn't a dream which as it turns out wasn't . I stomped downstairs to the lobby where I was checked in cause I wasn't going to let this go without a fight. To me being in the same room with Brick Harvard spelled doom not to talk of the whole semester and to top it up is that if Debbie should set her eyes on him, she would have his balls on her hands.

Debbie knew about it all. She knew how I was when he broke up me, my life was useless as at that time. I refused eating and cried several days in my room. I didn't go to school for several week and this made my parents worry a lot, they all thought they were going to lose me. I was really having a hard time, sometimes I had suicidal thoughts. At a time I almost committed suicide but it was Debbie that came to save me that day. She told me that I should  try and move on with my life and not destroy it. All this happened four years ago but they were still fresh in my head like as if it just happened yesterday.

"How may I help you?" The receptionist asked me. " You've been standing there for the past few minutes" The lady said quiet rudely and I knew at that moment that there is no way this woman will help me out.

" Err......." I said nonchalantly trying to get myself off those thoughts."  Please,I came to ask if there is anyway I could change my room because I don't feel comfortable in it." I said finally.

The lady just look at me looked at me from her glass with a strange eyes.

" Are you having any problem with the facilities or with your roommate." she said facing her work.

" No not at all, its just I feel uncomfortable sharing the same room with the opposite sex." I said that almost stammering because of how the lady was looking at me.

"There is actually nothing I can do, ma. The students who always comes first tend to choose who they want to be with and your roommate decided to be in the same room with the opposite sex and there is nothing we can do about that seeing that you came quite late." As at that moment I wished that I could kill Debbie. Its all her fault I fell into this mess.

"Please, is there any room I can change to because I don't think I would be able to survive in the same room with that guy for a night, not to talk of a whole semester." I said feeling pity for myself. The lady just looked at me for some minutes and started checking some documents on her desk.

" Sorry at the moment there is nothing I can do. Going though all this document, I just found out that there is no room available as at the moment. You will have to wait till the end of the semester. It is not a hundred percent possibility, but we will try our best. Sorry for the inconvenience" That was all the lady said facing back to her work. As at that moment,I regretted applying my scholarship to this school. All I did was nod my head.

Feeling so angry and disappointed, I just left the lobby and was heading to Debbie's  room. I entered her room just to find her drowning herself in a tub of Nutella. I sat on her bed trying to explain the whole scenario of what just happened. At first she just stared at me like she had seen I ghost or something but before I could say anything, she busted into laughter.

" Who are you trying to fool Jo. What will Brick be doing here. If this is a prank you better end this cause I am in no mood for your jokes. How can you be in the same room with the opposite sex that is not even possible."

" So you think this is all a joke! why will leave my room after being exhausted from our trip, just to crack that kind of a joke or mess around with Brick's name knowing how much I am trying my best to forget him" I said emphasizing on BRICK's name.

Actually seeing Brick again was like opening a closed wound. Debbie still didn't believe me and requested to see him by herself. She left the room to go witness if I was actually messing around with her.
  
Sometimes Debbie always seemed to be over protective with me although I senior her with two years. 

She entered the room with all amount of seriousness just to find Brick sitting on the bed facing his phone. She looked at me realizing at that moment I wasn't joking with her and stared at Brick with I eyes I knew so well. 

"Hi" He said while smiling. 

  As at that moment, I dragged her out of the room. Knowing my cousin very well,  she was a very crazy girl and she could do anything to any body when she is pissed of as she was now.
