The Teachers Assistant

chapter 14 part 5

*A YEAR LATER*

I was a freshman in college and my boyfriend and I were going to hit a party. You can say that he might have been a bad influence on me but come on he was the bad boy type. So I guess I had a type of guy I went for, bad boys. Not just bad boys though, older boys. he was two years older than me and we had dated my senior year on and off and were officially a couple since we shared an apartment now with Sofia, a friend I hadn't seen since junior high, and some other guy named josh. It was all good. We actually got to have our own rooms except for my beau and I, we shared a room.

I felt my hand get squeezed and I look at him smiling. He pulls me close as we begin to dance to the music. It gets a little heated between us and he takes my hand so we can find a room. He opens a door and I feel someone spin me around.

"Oh wow it really is you. I'm guessing this here is your boyfriend." Mark says.

"Uhmm hey, long time no see. You go here?" I asked.

It was a little awkward running into an ex while you and your current boyfriend were trying to escape to do it.

"Yup, just transferred here from Jersey. So it must be a small world for you to be here in New York and all. I'm guessing you live with him." Mark says.

"Yeah we've been together for a little while now. So how have you been?" I ask.

"Fine I guess. I may not be better knowing that the girl I used to like is currently dating the guy she cheated on me with. It leaves a little burning near my heart but I'll survive.” He told me.

"Look Mark I really am sorry it’s just-"

"Babe are you going to-, hey we've met before haven't we, you look familiar?" Drake asks.

"Yeah it’s nice to see that you know what clothes are. Look I got to go but I'll most likely see you again." Mark says as he walks away.

"What was that all about?" Drake asks.

"I don't know but I all of a sudden am feeling like I'm in the mood for a drink." I say to Drake.
