WOUNDED

5. Hey girl,

    Monday was here and Alex was ready for classes. She was well prepared and when the alarm struck 8 am, she didn't hesitate to get out of bed. Her roommate on the other hand was a different case. Having attended the fresher's party that had been going on throughout the weekend, and drunk herself crazy, Shelly was currently snoring loudly inside her white duvet. Covered from head to toe, her blue hair was the only thing showing.
   
Alex had declined all her friend's efforts to drag her to the parties. She didn't mind the parties at all, in fact she enjoyed the alcohol and dancing but she'd decided not to get wasted on her first weekend. She had used the time instead to familiarise herself with the school layout.With how huge the entire university was, she'd taken time to go around and was still not confident of not getting lost. She had also checked up a few local dealers that had cheap cars because she needed a car to help move around.
   
She'd saved a lot from the previous year for such emergencies and she didn't have to worry about asking her parents for the money. Knowing her mother,she'd deem it unnecessary and tell her to catch a bus whereas at the same time allowing her younger sister to drive to highschool. The irony that was her family.
   
Having washed her hair the previous night to allow it maximum time to dry,she took a quick shower and assembled a simple outfit, the usual,a top and some jeans. Touching on her eyebrows and putting a bit of mascara, Alex was ready for the day.
  
She attempted to wake Shelly up as a last thought but the sleeping girl did nothing but groan. Deciding to leave the hangover princess,she proceeded to class with her books and phone in hand. The halls this morning were quiet as everyone rushed to their classes. Her first class was nearby and she didn't have to walk far. Shelly had suggested driving her around but with their different classes it was just not going to work. Also, she wasn't going to be a freeloader so she was going to the other car sites after classes today and hopefully she'd manage to get herself a car.
   
She was pretty early to class, and only a handful of other students had arrived. The class was a big one with a white board at the front. She choose a sit at the far back. From there, she could see everyone come in and why not do that while waiting for the class to fill in.
  
A blonde guy sat besides her and introduced himself as Danny. From her peripheral,Alex could tell that the guy was handsome and very much aware of it. "I'm from Tnasa, where are you from?" The guy had turned his chair completely to face her. Whoever the guy was, Alex could tell that he was keen on making conversation. "I'm Alexis from up north,nice to meet you". The class was filling up quickly and hopefully it'd start and save her from the conversation.
    
"You cleaned up well Alexis, how old are you?".  Alexis couldn't tell whether he was winking or just epileptic and honestly she didn't care. "I'm 20 going on 60 Tnasa guy" She replied cheekily and was saved by the arrival of their new teacher.
   
"Good morning everyone, my name's Mr Patrick and I'll be your history teacher this semester. Why don't we familiarise ourselves then we can get to proceed. Here young man, why don't you start as off." He pointed at the guy seated near the teachers desk.
   
"My name's Ryan 19 years old, from Masi, previously from waterfall highschool." The guy in thick glasses turned and spoke out facing everyone. The introduction continued and Alex zoned out till Danny whisper- called her, getting her mind back to class. She was going to try harder with the concentration if she was to learn anything leave alone pass in all the classes.
  
"Today we're just going to highlight the various major sections that we'll be studying throughout the semester, then you'll proceed to read ahead and we'll officially start learning tomorrow." And that was the start of the crazy semester that was to unfold.
