Chapter 15 : Chocolate Shake

Time flies so fast and it's already the end of September. Everything seems to move so quickly. The hands on the clock are like three vehicles driving on an endless road.

The trees starting to turn into shades of red, orange, and yellow. Students are already worn out because of school works because the academic year is coming at its midpoint, everything happens so fast.

Ria calls me whenever she wants to disturb me and complain about Central State University in Ohio, which I think is a good school.

Ryan and I talk on the phone whenever we miss each other, we've been busy texting each other lately.

Lana and I became best buddies in a short period of time. I never get alone anymore inside the campus, we eat together, share stories or gossips, but she mostly shares and gushes something about Taehyung which makes me remind myself about Jimin.

It's already a week and I haven't seen him for a while. He really disappeared like a bubble after that day.

I noticed that he wasn't attending Mrs. Feinberg's class, I heard he switched classes, probably to avoid me.

Mom has been asking me about Jimin for the past seven days. He never visited us again, and I never even saw a light flickering around his house since that day. Where does he stay? I can't believe that he's not staying in his house just to fulfill his promise that he'll leave.

Does he even attend classes? USC is somehow big but there's a slight probability that I can at least cross paths with him in one of those days, but even his shadow is nowhere to be found.

He's really doing great at avoiding me, I should give him some props for it.

Jungkook is still dating my sister and I still haven't told Serene about what I saw the night Lana and I got wasted.

I think they're really finding a great company with each other, should I still tell Serene about that night? She might not believe me since it already happened days ago.

Today's a new week which means new tasks, new people to bump into, new headaches but still the same me.

The first class is boring as usual, our professor discussed Taxation Laws, it's a given that it's easy to understand if you listen well, but it really bores my entire soul.

"Ms. Austin." Professor Philips called, disrupting me from my thoughts.

"Yes, sir?"

"If you were listening, what are again the three broad methods of taxation?" He asks, he must have noticed that I've been dozing out in his class, but there's a difference between being bored and not listening.

"Consumption, income, and wealth," I replied in a dead tone. He just nods at me as I answered his question correctly.

Without paying attention at the time it's already lunch break and I found Lana in front of her locker. "Hey." I greeted and forged a cheery smile.

"Stop smiling when you sound dead." She laughs. "Tell me what's happening." I don't know how she contrives to know that I'm lacking the spirit and energy today.

"I don't know, I'm just bored I guess. I don't know what I need to make me feel better." I sighed and she leans on her locker when she closes it.

"You need fun." She squeals. "Speaking of fun, Hoseok is throwing a party again! Come with me?" She blinks her eyes faster in an attempt that I would come and join her.

"What time?" I deadpanned.

"Later around two. What do you say?" She informs me and my forehead automatically furrowed at her.
