>On Campus<
Woo hoo..Off to buy another textbook.. well I don't actually have to pay for it since everything is somewhat provided to us. Today was a heck of a day. All the kids that were taken out of our main class will be sent to a new building to continue classes. They're still taking people out the main class we have which honestly scares me. Today one of the kids were taken by force...because of me.
The final test to determine who would stay for another small term was today. I feel like it wasn't his time to go. If only I hadn't finished first... maybe he would've still stayed. Thoughts of guilt and regret flooded me. But then again... for the first time in a while I felt noticed again. I had made a new friendship... I shook the thoughts out of my head and I noticed I was at the entrance to the library and I walked in.
I just wanted to relax and clear my head at this point. So I asked for the book to be sent to my dormitory and just went on my way. The college wasn't that far from the dormitories but I took a different route through the small garden. I loved coming here...because no one ever comes here due to everyone being so busy. It's so quiet and peaceful. I drifted off...Only me and him. Laughing about what used to be. Talking about what bugged us a lot . I knew I shouldn't have gotten so close....I snap out of my daze and noticed small tears in my eyes. I got up and wiped them off my face. "God your so stupid Suitcase". I grabbed my stuff and started walking towards the dormitories. I sped up once I got closer. When I got there. Paper was on his usual shift. He was smiling and talking to everyone who passed or stopped by. A happier one than the one I saw before. I walked up nervously to check into my dorm room not knowing what to say to him. So I just didn't say anything. Classic Suitcase. I say in in my head.
"Hey there Suitcase..Don't think you can just ignore me like that..." He says in a joking way and gives me a warm genuine smile when I look at him. "Sorry I just didn't know what to say to you.." I responded in a soft tone finishing up with the check in. "Well I just wanted to say... thank you.. for what you did. I wish I could repay you somehow.." He said letting a small chuckle out. "oh no it's okay... just as long as you're okay now. I'm good." I say back cracking a small smile. "Oh suitcase..thank you... but I'll find out how to somehow.. Anyways- got to get back to work" He says while waving at someone who just entered. We said our goodbyes and continued with what we had to do. I went up the stairwell to my floor but when I got there someone opens the door and shoves past me running a couple floors more. Once they caught up with someone they started arguing. I didn't want to get involved so I entered my floor. As I walked to my door. I saw a small package, I walk a little faster to it. I think to myself "they couldn't have delivered the book this fast...". I pick it up and take it inside. I open it, just as expected not the book but a box. I open the box it was a rectangular flat gift box. I cut it with a pair of scissors and open the two flaps on the side of the box.
When I see what's inside and my eyes light up. A backpack!! It's was the size of the box, yellow with red straps it was much better than the one I have now. Who would've sent this? The happiness I felt quickly faded.
"Balloon look!!! That backpack looks really cute!!" I say star eyed staring at the yellow bag with red straps "It certainly is beautiful.." his gaze lost in something else.
I threw the bag onto my bed. I tripped over several objects around my room heading towards the door. Back to the staircase. As I was climbing the stairs. I saw something on the floor it was a red and yellow phone set upside down and next to it 2 score sheets like the ones from class today. I picked them up. The phone screen was cracked and the sheets names were ripped off. I thought I should take it to the counter in the lobby. But I just decided to take it and leave it where I was going. So I put them in my pocket and continued up the stairs. I got to the top. I pushed the metal door open. Stepping into the sunlight. I cover my eyes from the blinding light. To reveal arguing two figures. A tall skinny girl with long hair dyed green and The average looking boy from class with freckles and dark red hair with slight yellow on his side burn and sweater arms. TestTube and Fan. I gripped the bottom of my cardigan and gulped in nervousness when they turned to me after hearing the metal door slam close. TestTube straighten herself up, narrowing her eyes at me and pushed past me as she left. I watched as the metal door shut again. Just Me and Fan. Again. As I turn back around I see Fan leaning over the railing rocking back and forth, his feet set on the rectangular holes in the railing. I walked up next to him and folded my arms and rested them on the railing.
"Hey..please just don't think about it..." I say in a soft and quiet voice.
He lets out a small chuckle almost a sight. "Don't worry suitcase- I wasn't going to..." His voice trailed off not finishing. He searches his pockets.
"what's wrong..?" I mutter quietly loud enough for him to hear turning to him. In defeat he stops searching, he says "hah...damn..I guess I lost it."I look off into the distance waiting for him to say more to his last statement.
"The only thing I had left and I lost it..but I guess it isn't the first time..." He said letting out a small sad sigh. He continues "You wouldn't know how to get things back would you... like maybe my frie- my phone the only thing left for me..". I shift a little to notice he was sitting arms crossed on his knees. I take the phone out of my pocket. He notices it but it seemed he was frozen in place. I start to say letting myself go "I was hoping I would get here and be alone..yet here we are..". I continue "I wouldn't be here if I knew how to get things back..."
He would be here telling me about what his thoughts and plans. I set the phone in his hands. Just a little more time would've been enough to say goodbye. But there wasn't enough time. He's gone.
"Looks like your also missing something too." Fan says interrupting my thoughts. "I guess we all miss something.. even if we have everything." I say back. "I just thought maybe she would've waited for me.. just a little longer would've been enough.." his voice insteady. He started to tear up a crooked smile on his face. He has trouble keeping it and his tears start to fall. "Maybe if I would've done things differently. Maybe if I had listened to Paintbrush about this school- that this school was much more than what it seems. I wouldn't be in this mess!" He yelled through tears letting everything out. Those emotions pouring out. What triggered that to happen you seem to have kept up a very good wall. What happened for it to break you down. He let his tears fall and fall. He started to calm himself wiping away his tears.
"Why does everyone get there special ending but not me.. I wanted it to be my moment that I would walk through that door and face a new thing." He leaned his back and head to the railing, his arms falling to his sides on the floor. I stayed quiet looking over the railing and to the ground. "sometimes there won't be a moment but one will come- trust me I know. And I haven't gotten there yet and maybe you haven't either but we have to look forward to that moment" I say looking over at him. His brown eyes dull with little to no hope.
I look over to the guy who would change me. I was accepted into Inanimate Insanity University. Also know as IIU. 2nd best university from BFB University. He seemed to not feel safe. After meeting some others and gaining 2 friends rapidly. I went over to him and introduced myself. "Tell me what's your name?" I say in a soft voice to not scare him. And he said "Balloon. Balloon B.H"
No more. Tears running down.
I sit next to him and curl up. "Don't do what your thinking. I know stupid... But she'll wait for you I know she will. You connected that's why she might not but will come around...." I say to him as more come down tears I could barely see. He looks at me and smiles softly. A sad smile. I bury my head into my crossed arms and onto my knees.He moves to be in front of me. He rubs my head and says "wait for him..okay..?". He stops and stands up. "Thanks for everything... my phone is dying and i need to recharge it. It'll take a while but I'll wait." I heard walking and metal being hit then nothing. I stay there. Frozen for minutes.
There's no waiting for him. He hasn't been near or heard of for days. He wanted to runaway be free.
I get up from my spot. Look around. Look out to the woods on the other side of the railing and turn back and head inside. Down the stairs to my floor. Into my dorm room. I put a hand in my pocket. I feel the sheets of papers. Forgot about those... I'll turn them in tomorrow. I took off my cardigan. And fell into the comfort of my bed.
Today felt different. To many memories are flooding back in.
I drift to sleep not wanting to think.
"I can't wait on him forever"
