Burning me

Chapter six - Venera

I slid on a white crop t-shirt and a pair of large black sweatpants loose on my legs with a white line on the sides. A pair of black and white Vans and lastly some makeup to cover my tiredness.

I grabbed a black bag and my phone and took off towards Enzo's.

The past week I've had it weirdly great. I managed to finish the painting in the living room and it really brought the room to life and I started in the kitchen, doing something as different. Tristan kept me company and for some reason I didn't fuck up when he was around, how I usually did.

The nightmares didn't disappear, my nights were still spent half awake and the other half kinda sleeping. I went to the bar and did my job with an energy I didn't know I had in me and I avoided parties at any costs. Tristan tried to drag me to one, but I was just too damn stubborn.

I was heading towards Enzo's house, just when he was getting ready to lock his house, though I didn't see his point in doing that. It wasn't like he had anything he couldn't replace if it got stolen. I greeted him with a smile right when he turned around, scaring him. Again. He looked at me like I was crazy and I just continued to smile. "Sis, I know it's your first day, but you're kinda giving me the creeps."

I rolled my eyes. "You suck for ruining my happy mood."

He stepped closer, starting to sniff me like the freak he was. "No, it's because of those cigs."

I gasped and slapped his arm. "Fuck off! As if you don't drink!"

"Yeah, but-"

"If you even dare and say they're different, I'll kick your ass. They have the same fucking principle, you moron! Addiction!" I slapped his arm again, proving my point.

He snorted a laughter, pulling out his keys. We entered the car from there, of course, he didn't allow me to drive, which ruined my mood even more. Fucking bastard. After minutes of listening to the radio, we finally reached in front of the College and I couldn't feel happier.

Something must've been terribly wrong with me.

We got out of the car, my eyes immediately analyzing the College's yard, which was filled with students of all types. I stood by the car and stared at the place I was going to study from there on for the next three or four or more years.

"You're going to have a panic attack if you don't chill a little, sorella." Enzo said, walking behind me.

I almost jumped at the scare he gave me and turned at him with a murderous look. "Scare me like that one more time and the whole Campus will see you getting your ass kicked by your younger sister."

He chuckled and kissed my head. "Try not to get killed on your first day here, okay?"

I nodded excitedly and he hugged me one last time before he took off on his own way towards class. I walked slowly towards the entrance, trying to take in every new expression of mostly everyone.

Tristan explained that some of the students who come here were at the bonfire and the very few were my neighbors. Of course, I knew no one other than Tristan and Enzo. Why would I have known anyone else, it wasn't like I actually went to a part to socialize and meet more people.

No, that totally wasn't me.

J managed to get to my first class, with Mr. Menelaus - funny name - without getting lost in my way. Entering I looked around and saw very few students in their seats doing diverse things. Reading, playing on the phone or just staring the board. The professor wasn't there yet, so I didn't have to worry about being late. I took a few steps forward and walked in the first few roads.
