The Happiness Of Tragedy

Chapter 76

Calculus was the last class and it was by far the best if I had to be honest.

Professor Johnson talked for most of it, but even as she did there was nothing new we intended to learn this last week. I know, and so does everyone else in the class who talked for most of the period that even she grew board and assigned paperwork for us until the time was over. Victoria hadn't said a word to me the entire time, she looked different in a way like going on break changed her moods and the way she dressed. She met my eyes for a second too long when she handed the papers to me, I smile and she returned a forced one. That was probably as close to a real smile as I'll ever get, but not from Louis though. Nope, he'd decided to sit next to me and turn me into a laughing mess everytime he pointed out Professor Johnson's shoes that would lift off the back of her feet when she walked. They were just too big.

And still, at the end of the class when Louis decided to rise from the seat next to me and head for the door I'd always think of Levi being the one there. I'd smile, and leave toward the door only to face the raft of the many students crowding the hall.

I didn't let it get to me, I huffed and made my way toward the stairs and up to the room hoping it was empty.

The third floor was crowded, not usually crowded on Mondays but my guess was there was something happening and it didn't involve me so I pushed my way through the crowd. A girl pushes pass me and a guy meets my eyes before he begins to walk toward the other end. I go in the opposing direction of the situation, I was still hoping the room was empty and by the looks of everyones drawed attention down the hall I could guess I would be alone.

I stopped in front of the door, raising my hand to knock before thinking. I shook my head and laughed a little before I grabbed the knob and turned it to head into the room. Not a person in sight and a small smile tugged at my lips as I headed toward my bed to flop but when the door to the bathroom opened in a quick motion, I sat up on my palms. Violet came out, her eyes laying on my own before I turned away to untie my sneakers.

"Oh hey" was all she said at first and I hoped it was the last.

"Hi" I gave a quick gesture and she turned away heading to the door, it was just my luck when she grabbed the handle to open it. Then she stopped and so did my heart.

Please don't say anything
Please don't say anything

"Do you have any idea of what's happening down the hall?" She asks stuck in the door way.

I sit back on the bed and grab my bag, "nope" was all I said.

"Do you want to see what's going on?" She then questions, a bit of emotion in her throat and I think for a minute that I hear her swallow it down.

I look up, "nope" before I turn away again. It hurts, it really does but they brought this on themselves.

"Oh," her head fell and she squeezed her hand around the knob, "alright, bye" she shuts the door behind her.

I look up at the door, I guess I was supposed to feel some type of empathy and guilt for the way I've treated them today but I don't. Not yet, they did this. They made me feel like I was the one who they couldn't trust or I was the one who didn't deserve them as friends or Levi as a boyfriend and now they have to pay for the consequences of their actions. I'll talk to them, whenever I get the chance to and maybe they'll apologize for what they said because I'm not the person they made me seem like I was. I didn't do anything wrong.

Bzzzz!

My phone had begun to ring and I came out of my thoughts to realize that I had been sitting here doing nothing but looking into the blanks space of our room. I grab my phone and read the call, David
