I am sitting outside a cafe with my chocolate late sipping waiting for Henry to show up. I have been waiting for him for over thirty minutes and if he doesn't show up I will be so disappointed. I don't get to see him during the day because we are different sides of the campuses.
Yes we graduated high school and he is in his final year in school. I on the other hand waited a year behind because I had to help Emma go through with some insecurities she was dealing with. It was voluntarily I guess I was wounded up on her world that j forgot to go in for interviews and I never got any good college but on the good side Emma is doing alright now and she has moved on.
And yes you guessed right the insecurities had to do with James and she did some terrible things. The cafe door opens with a bell ring and I look up happy to see black haired guy coming closer to me.
"Hey" he said bending down to hug me. I pull back and look at him eyebrows raised and mouth in a thin line. He looks at me and sits down. "I'm so sorry kept you waiting...
"For thirty minutes" I add. "Henry this has been going on for weeks now"
"I'm so sorry I am on some school projects and all" he sighs and drops his bags to the floor.
I roll my eyes at him "but we are still going out today?" I ask to be sure. Not has he been late he has also been canceling our dates. I look up to see his face frown. "O God some body kill me please anybody " I mutter more to my self. He hears because I can see he is not happy about it.
"Eva I am so sorry" he doesn't call me Eva. It's always princess. What is changing. I smile at him. "It's alright. I know you just have a few weeks to graduate and all the projects are talking toll on you. I understand" I say sighing and he smiles.
"I can come over and keep you company at the apartment besides I will be alone, Emma went home this weekend" I say sipping the last of my late.
"I won't be at my apartment" he says attaching the back of his head awkwardly.
"Where will you be?" I asked raising my eyebrows he is being such a jerk here. Keyword jerk.
"My partners house" he says slowly as I'd talking to a toddler.
"Who is this mystery partner" I ask because sincerely I have never met the person.
"Well she is....
"It's a girl?" I asked wide-eyed.
He nods "Assyla her name is Assyla" he said sitting on the edge of his chair.
"And you meet her alone in her house?" I ask because my mind is having a mind of its own. I don't know if you get me but that's how I feel right about now.
"She has a roommate" he says.
"Who is also a girl?" I asks and he nods in confirmation. I look at my watch. I'm pissed and I can't continue this. "I have to head t9 class" I say standing up. I walk out of the cafe without looking back and the worst is he isn't stopping me.
I sit in my favourite spot of the hall. I remember when he recently got admitted and I was at home helping Emma. He used to commune a three hours drive to see me every Friday night no matter how busy he was. And I'm only I think twenty minutes away but we hardly see each other.
In a few weeks he will be out of college and will be ready for the real world as they put it. I sigh maybe things are changing. You don't expect highschool love to be as strong in college now do we.
I feel a presence around me before someone sat beside me. I look up to see a boy strikes me handsome. He has blue ocean eyes with dark blonde hair his features are well defined and his jaw is tight.
"Can I help you with something?" I ask when I see him staring.
"Can I sit here?" he asks
"You already did" I say pointing it out to him.
"Well I guess I already did that" he says chuckling.
I get this a lot. Everyone wants to ask me out not that I am a Victoria Secret model example. Mom says my red hair stands out. I smile at him and I see him straighten himself as if my smile gave him a boost.
"I was wondering if you'd like to come for a party at my place today?" he asked almost politely I was afraid that there was still some good left on earth.
I smiled at him again "I won't be in town I am going to see my parents at home but thanks for the invitation" I say and he nodded leaving. I had just decided to go with Emma home. Henry surely doesn't want to spend this weekend together. If it repeats itself next weekend I'm going flip.
I bring out my phone and quickly send emm a text so she doesn't leave me behind.
Going home with you please don't leave me, can't drive long distance. Eva.
I thought you had a date with Henry? Emma.
He cancelled that he had some project. Talk about it later got to go. Eva.
Although I don't want to tell her but I know she will pry so I will tell her. After my lectures I go to my car to drive to our apartment. Mom and dad bought me a car saying for easier movement and all but wanted to keep using Emma's own. I hate roads and driving.
It was a long drive home and I filled Emma on all the details of what transpired between me and Henry.
"Be patient" was all she said. This means she knew something but Emma had become so good in secrets because over the years she had helped Henry plan my birthday twice without me knowing. Come to think of my birthday now I mean it's around the corner maybe that's why he's acting all strange. I have got to give him a break.
"My honeys" mom coos as soon as we pull into the drive way where she had been waiting for us. She just saw us last week and yes because Henry cancelled on me I had to come home not wanting to stay in the apartment all by myself.
"Mom" we chime simultaneously. We go I to her embrace and she hugs us so tight I thought I felt my arms going numb.
"Free us mom" Emma whispered and she chuckled before freeing us.
"Come in I made lunch" mom said happily.
"O come on mom you mean Greta made lunch?" Emma asked.
Yes mom is a natural cooking disaster.
"same thing" she said pulling us.
Since Emma slumped onto depression and her insecurities she had been extra loving. It can be honestly distorting like now.
"Eva you never told me you were coming" she asked dishing some macaroni and cheese into our plates.
"Henry cancelled on me" I muttered.
"Again?" she asked. I nodded not wanting her to extend the topic any further.
"We will have so much fun this weekend" she says happily. She always says that I mean it's fun but she treats us like little kids and I feel a little uncomfortable with her attitude and she will be fanning over me because he canceled on me this weekend.
