"So, Victoria doesn't text you anymore..." I whisper, knowing what is going to happen.
He nods quietly, avoiding to look at me; he almost looks broken. Maybe it's just my impression.
I get up with a sigh, giving him a quick sad smile; then he gets up as well, not smiling at all.
That makes my heart ache a little. Why does he look so blue? Is it my fault?
I shrug, making a step towards him.
"I guess it's time to end... this 'thing'. We succeded!" I say in a happy tone, trying to cheer him up. But right after I said it, my mouth becomes dry, and my eyes start stinging for no reason.
He nods again, moving away from me.
"It was nice hanging out with you, 'boyfriend'." He gives me a weak smile, and I just stare at him, feeling a huge knot in my throat. My eyes still sting.
"Ditto." I mutter, looking at ground. Then I put my arms around his body, hugging him for a little too long.
I have no idea what is happening to me, but it seems I'm not able to break this hug.

I spend the rest of the day locked in my dorm all by myself. I don't have the energy to do anything.
I am supposed to study for the exam, but I just cannot concentrate.
I wonder what Roger is doing.
I suddenly get up from bed, reaching the door, but after realizing what I'm doing, I sit at the kitchen table, opening my books to study.
I have never had problems of concentration, never.
But right now all I can think about is Roger, and how he's doing. I need to know how he's feeling.
I get up, then I get down again, ignoring my persistent thoughts. I must study or I'll fail the exam.
And I never fail.
