Symptoms Of Love

chapter 9 - Mortal enemies

I came back early from the get together, or so was it called. I have never felt so out of place. I was glad I had noticed Hanna behind that jerk at the common pathway. She was dressed so...tacky. A red peplum "barely covering her ass" dress, red high heeled stilettos. Still to be on the safer side, I had called Adriana asking her what to wear. We all had intercom at our rooms, her number was 1504. She told me not think too much into it, and to wear what I was comfortable with.

Under normal circumstances, a residential school has dorms divided based on gender. I thought It natural to assume for this one too, but I was wrong. There are 20 dorm buildings on campus, and all students are allotted rooms randomly regardless of their gender. One building has 5 floors, each floor has 5 rooms. It's just my fucked up luck that one of my floor mates happens to be Reeve Ray. On top of that, this fact couldn't reach me in the worst possible way.

I had woken up at 6:10, from my power nap. I went outside for some fresh air. Point to be noted that, I was still in PJs, braless with my worst possible case of bed hair. When I was done having my moment with nature, and was turning to return to my room. Reeve Ray was standing there, his hawk eyes fixed on me, out of the freaking people why Reeve fucking Ray. Why God why. 

I should have just played it cool and left, but nope I like a dumbass sprinted like a dog with a broken leg. To make matters worse, I left one of my slippers behind and I ran back to wear them, that stupid slippers found the best time to betray me, it won't go in my fucking foot. I managed somehow, went inside and slammed the door, sat at the corner of my bed, covered myself with a blanket from embarrassment.

This is how I got my brand new the most embarrassing moment of the year. Well if Reeve Ray didn't think I was stupid, worthless, clumsily before he definitely thinks now. 

I was so terrified, that I skipped dinner and stayed in to cool down. I listened to music and stuffed myself with chips. Stress eating.

I pulled myself together. Took out my extremely loose maroon midi t-shirt dress, with white stripes at the sides, clubbed it with white sneakers and my beloved watch. I did my basic makeup and tied my hair into a bun. Took a deep breath and left for the cafeteria.

I was glad I found Adriana and Shane on the way. They asked me why did I miss dinner, I told them I overslept as I was tired and had made myself noodles.

They explained to me how the get together had turned into a grade event. They took me to Odin center, OC. OC was basically a mall, for student entertainment like movies, restaurants, supermarket, pharmacy etc. What shocked me the most was, it had clubs, leave aside it being in a school most of us I am sure where underage. No matter how mighty Odin was, it was still a school for children.

My cleared doubts at the so called get to together. Adriana, and Shane told me that, OC was actually not controlled by the school, it can be said that it was a piece of land brought by someone, which was inside the school campus. As for drinking and everything, most students here reached maturity at an early age, so having drinks at a formal party etc was normal. The school is well aware that if students gets drunk and misbehave or creates problem of any kind. More than the school, the students and it's family's honor, reputation, business everything will fall.

I guess that might be the reason, school didn't bother separating dorm based on gender. Even if something goes wrong they have nothing to lose.

As we were walking, someone bumped into us. Damn he was one gorgeous guy, I mentally update my list of guys arranged in the decreasing order of attractiveness. He is now at third and is following Alan senpai at second and as must I hate to say it Reeve at first. Don't judge me, I am girl after all, I might not love any one, but I have still got hormones, as I have said before I have had crushes (my definition of a crush: an intimidating feeling from an attractive opposite sex).
