The Two Of Us

Chapter 3

Davis' POV

Linda and I have been dating for a while. I think about her - Her pale face is beautiful as ever just that I do not feel the usual jolt in my stomach and the usual electricity between us when I kiss her. She is cheating on me. I don't know with whom.

Anyways, Yesterday when I was making out with her, a freshman entered our room claiming that it was hers. Such a stupid dickhead. She seemed like a complete prude. Henry told me her name was Marcy or something like that. Like I care. I don't know why Henry is kind with people like that. He is seriously out of the world. This is the trait in him because of which many girls fall for him.

Today Caleb and I have Chemistry and Bio tech classes together. Henry has psychology and Humanities.

"Yo Davis, You ready?" Caleb asks from across the room.

"Yeah man just collecting my books."

"Yeah come fast"

I take my bag and go out of the room with Caleb.

Henry is still collecting his bags, When we walk out of the room. We say our goodbyes to Henry and get going on our way to the geography lecture.

"You know that we have a test today on last year's portion? Anyways you will get full no matter what" he says grinning

"Not necessary. But yes I have studied just a bit"

"You always say that and then top the class. You fucking idiot. Do you know how jealous I am? Perfect face, amazing brains. What else do you want? You asshole" he says laughing.

I return his smile.

I know sometimes I sound really selfish but I am still not satisfied with my marks this year aka my first year at college I scored 94% but I really hoped for 97%. I sound like a ungrateful dick. I know. But that's just the way I am. Not everyone knows about my grades, only Caleb and Henry know. The topic never comes up. Everyone is too drunk all the time to notice anyway.

Anyways, I actually did not study for the test. So my marks will depend on how much I remember from my previous year..

-----------------

Our test finishes and I am quite content with my performance. I scored a 73/80. Caleb got a 68/80 he's quite bummed out about it. I make my way toward the dorm when I see the newbie's dorm. It's 99 and she read it upside down. Who does that. I roll my eyes. Honestly, she looked just like Linda when she used to be innocent. I sigh at the thought. Linda was the first person I ever dated. Was I wrong about her? I don't feel the usual electricity between us. She is really acting very arrogant nowadays. I think the popularity ruined her. I think I'll have to dump her now. She was never like this. I sigh and look at Caleb. He's examining his paper -- again.

"Caleb, the marks aren't going to change just because you keep totalling them again and again." I say honestly tired of his tantrums.

"Dude there has to be some kind of mistake, I -"

"Caleb, how much more time are you gonna take to realise that you're a dumbfuck. You can't even get girls to date you. Honestly I thought you could do better." I say with a taunting tone and a slight smug smile.

"Not in the mood to joke Mr. Know-it-all." He murmurs, taking out his chemistry book.

I smile and I see that Henry has already arrived in the dorm. He looks really bummed out. And I instantly know what's happened.

"How much did you get?" I say in a boring tone.

He arches his eyebrow at me and shakes his head. A tiny laugh escapes my mouth which I try to cover up with coughing.

"75/80" He says, glaring at me.

Caleb scowls a rather nasty scowl and I shake my head and chuckle. Hello my life.
