For What It's Worth

Chapter 4

"Oh my word I could pass out right now" a student moaned as they walked out of their political science lecture.Masses if students scattered in the large campus grounds.

" I swear to God!" The other replied.
" A fucking fifty pages report" she continued.

Chloe walked past them as music blared in her ears,she also knew that if she started thinking about the massive assignment,she'd probably burn up.She spotted Adam by a reading bench and walked towards him.

"Aaarrrgghh!!"Damn it!" She said sitting down heavily.

Adam hardly looked up.He was deeply concentrated on the book he was reading.He suddenly sniffed and blew his nose.

"Are you crying young P?" Chloe questioned alarmed."What happened!??'

"Nothing" he said looking up with a teary face.

" Then why you crying?" She asked.

" It's Finch!" he said heavily,"he's dead!" He replied.

"Who's Finch?" Chloe asked confused
"Wait,don't tell me you're crying about some dead book character!" She suddenly realized.

" He was my favorite! I can't believe he committed suicide!" Adam said.

" Oh my God" Chloe said facepalming,
" Do you know Adam,a story is told of a girl who loved reading sad books,they made her all depressed and was one day found dead in her room, having committed suicide" she said.

" That's not true,youre just being mean.Books are so much interesting."

" I didn't say they were not" Chloe said opening her political science book.She frowned.

"And what's with you" He asked putting his book away.

" Mr Longnose gave us a fifty page project that's due next week",how the heck will I ever finish it!" She whined.

"I can help you" Adam suggested.

" Adam,I do political science,you do literature,how will you help me with my project?"

" Uuhh...there's the internet..and besides you can always just tell me what's needed to be done"

" Wow! Thanks a bunch bro! What would I do without you!!"

" Yeah you wouldn't even be here without me" he said boastfully," whatever that means" he laughed.

" You're so stupid"Chloe rolled her eyes and smiled.

" Damn Miss Ray, I finally made you smile" he said,"so tell me,your house tonight?"

Chloe frowned.

"I don't know if that will be possible"

"And why not?"

"The Cranberries are coming for dinner today,they're back in town" she said with heavy stress on the Cranberries.

" Hold up! When you say the Cranberries,does that involve the Cole Cranberry?"

" Yes of course stupid,who else,and his mom"

" Wow,I'm definitely coming,I want to finally see him face to face"

"You don't have to come,you can still see him some other day,there's nothing interesting to look at anyway"

Chloe rolled her eyes angry all of a sudden.She did not want to talk about Cole Cranberry at all.

" Wow okay okay"

"Anyway,any news from Mr P?" She asked changing topics.

" No, nothing"

"Okay,let's just go home" she said.
