the dreaded mondays.

i had a class at eleven and a class at three. the class at eleven was a lecture and at three was consumer math.

by some coincidence i had consumer math with ethan. he would probably say something to me about friday night. after he moved out of our neighborhood, he started hanging out with the wrong people and turned into a complete dick, fucking girls left and right just to fit in but i know that isn't really him or at least it wasn't.

i braided my hair over my shoulder on one side. it was getting cold outside so i had on a green sweater and black flowy pants with my white air forces.

i hooked my backpack over my shoulder and locked the front door behind me. making my way down the side walk.

i lived off campus but in the neighborhood where most of the other students lived. it was a small college. like two thousand students i think? everyone i grew up with went here. if you live in ridgely, new york, you go to chaton college. no one comes here from other places. this town is super college orientated and bases its events around the college, everyone goes to the games and such

i turned down the brick pathway and made my way to the lecture building.

the school was actually really appealing in it of itself. all the buildings were white painted brick but the paint was chipped and rubbed away so it looks really cool. vines and ivy grow up the sides of most the outer campus buildings. bubble glass windows, brick pathways, stone walls and court yards are incorperated as well. the flowers and gardens were always kept up. my favorite thing is all the willow trees that line the pathways and shade the courtyards.

my lecture class was about fifty people. so, unlike normal college lectures it was tiny.

the class itself is about three hours long, which left me just enough time for me to go across the street to off campus student café and get something to eat. i always get the same thing. a blt with avocado and a peach tea. everyone goes here between classes or it becomes a substitute for going to the grocery store, which was the case for me a few times.

after my mid-day meal, i made my way back to the campus and headed for the building that my math class was in, it was much smaller than the lecture building, there were no vines on this one but it was surrounded with freshly pruned rose bushes.

this class was only about twenty five people.

ethan was already in the class when i got there. he looked nice today. dark sweatpants and a long sleeve white vans shirt. a red beanie was perfectly fitted over his head, his hair stuck out every which way but it looked good.

he turned his head as i sat down placing my bag and lanyard on the top of the desk, my keys were what caught his attention

he pursed his lips together and got up making his way to me.

"hey." he sat on top of my desk.

i looked up at him, it was weird. this was the first time he has talked to me in two years. every bit of our past was replaying in my head and he stared at me. his eyes were just as striking as I remember.

"hey." i pulled out my laptop and plugged it into the outlet on the floor.

"so, you gonna ruin a moment and not apologize."
