Roommates

part 36

i walk into class and sit down in the back, i pull my hoodie over my head and open my computer

i bite my nails and look around the room, half the class is here, i'm always early because i hate being late to class

i wonder if i'll find jaden ever again. what if he doesn't even who to college here?

the door opens and i see sophia and lily walk into class together, a cup of coffee in both of there hands. trader.

soph turns her head to look at me and i quickly look down. i take my phone out and pretend i'm texting someone when in reality i'm looking through my old text with jake

i turn my phone off when class begins. i look around again and notice joey isn't here. i hope he doesn't show up either

it's crazy how much someone can mean to you and leave you just like that. like you're nothing but trash. tossed aside like a plastic bag, i finally understand katy perry, i do feel like a plastic bag

i exposed myself to him because i trusted him, i thought that he was serious this time because he knew how serious i have about having sex.

that i didn't want to lose my virginity to someone who will leave me and that's exactly what he did. he made me fall in love with him

the little things about him make me happy, even though he broke my heart way too many times i can't help but want to see him

i want to see him and just stare at him, or maybe even talk to him. i don't want him to be a stranger in my life.

"excuse me do you have a pen?" the guy next to me ask

i open my bag and take a pen out, when i hand it to him i notice joey was sitting a seat away from me

"oh hey" he presses his lips together and takes the pen from my hand

when i say i wanted to talk to him i didn't mean it literally, fuck. i turn back around and look at the professor

"why are you wearing a hoodie? it's not raining" i hear him chuckle

"not yet" i begin typing on my computer. i try to ignore his presence but can't help when he keeps tapping the pen against the paper

i wonder why he's sitting next to me instead of lily? did they already get in a fight? is he back to kiss me and leave me again? yea probably

i take a deep breath and close my eyes, just to clear my head and stop thinking about it. it's the same cycle over and over and i'm sick of it

it's always going to be lily and it's time for me to accept that. the class door opens and i turn to see who it is

a boy with black hair walks in, he looks oddly familiar i just can't tell where i recognize him

when his eyes meet mine it hits me. it's jaden. he smiles at me and i send him a wave, he walks towards my row and accidentally kicks joeys leg "sorry dude" jaden says and sits down in between me and joey

"hey" i smile

"hey" he smiles back, "it's good seeing you again. i thought i wouldn't see you again"

"well here i am" i giggle

he pulls the hoodie off my head and takes a better look at me, "there we go" he says

"do you go here?" i ask him

"went, im transferring out" he tells me

"what? where?" i ask

"in Arizona. i got accepted and it's been a dream of mine to go to college there"

"oh... why?"

"my brother goes there and tells me how amazing it is. plus my parents live there"
