Misadventure (One Direction)

23 - Elsewhere

Monday, March 23rd, 7:45 AM

Vanessa and Lesley pulled out their Wayfarer style and round sunglasses. The girls skirted out into the street. A few more cars drove by during this time of day. As they walked down the street they had the boys in their mind.

Now that they had about two months left of university, they remembered something dreadful. When Lesley and Vanessa entered their freshman year last year they decided to study abroad for two years. The downside was that their term in U of L was almost up. Almost a month left. Then they will return back to the United States. Both would be heading for their junior year and Stephanie in her last year at University of California - Los Angeles.

When they had enter to one of the university's buildings everything seemed to freeze. The students stood watching them go by their ways. Luckily today, Lesley and Vanessa had the same class, Latin American Studies. Had could accompany each other to class.

As they waited in there seats for class to start, Vanessa continued texting Harry. She was tearing up inside now.

7:58AM - You: Ahh! I'm so hyped up for that day too!

7:59AM - Harry S.: Good! I'll call you when you're done with your classes, love!! x.

At the same moment Lesley was looking up her email. She couldn't believe it. Her sister had sent an email this morning.

Hey Lesley,

I heard that you girls are performing at London's battle of the bands. That's incredible!! I wish to be there to cheer for you guys.

I feel that we need to fill the gaps between us. I have been consulting with people about a possible tour this summer. Don't get your hopes up too much, worry about the album first. Anyway, focus on uni right now. Your young sis say hi to you, Stephanie and Vanessa. Good luck!

Best,

Alexia

P.S. As I was heading to class, I noticed on the cover Louis's wedding! I can't wait to see what's ahead for you three!

Lesley looked up at the whiteboard, starstruck. She has not heard a bit a news from her older sister. Not a phone call or text message since she had left. Almost four months! Plus, Alexia was going to be surprise when she finds out about My Summer Sensation performance.

Her thoughts were interrupted when the professor started today's lecture on the 1954 CIA coup in Guatemala. They had to write a research paper about the implications of the coup and comparing to other US interventions.

The following weeks were crucial for them to study. Lesley had to focus on her readings, note taking and completing essays. She wanted to do her best, so that she could receive her bachelor's degree. Finals were coming soon.

After class, the brunettes parted their ways. Vanessa headed to her Chemistry class 300 and Lesley to Drawing 300.

On the other end of campus, Stephanie walked into her Advance Piano class. She sat as close as possible--she did not have her glasses on. There was still ten minutes of passing time. She noticed that today they were going to finish their compositions. The fact that the spring concert was in the final week of uni. Mr. Williams wanted to have the compositions ready for rehearsals for the next couple of weeks.

Everything seemed to pile up every inch of her right shoulder blade. Stephanie felt that if she did not balance her plans, her back would cry in agony. She hoped that returning to uni would completely extinguish the memory of Liam telling her the truth. When Mr. Williams started his presentation, she felt the memory absorb her away from the small lecture.
