A Shell In The Sand

Chapter 6-

Freya-

I sit at my computer in the college hub with Lauren and Rebecca as she attempt a start on our essays. I look through my portfolio of photos trying to decide which ones are the best to use.

"Why don't you use some of the photos from the party?" Lauren asks me, i look at her unsure to start with then think about it.

"What do a portfolio dedicated to my future family" I laugh as a joke but see the seriousness of Laurens face

"No one is going to take it serious" I shake my head at her in disbelief not thinking it would work. Not with how it all is at the minute, the awkwardness. There isn't any love there but then maybe that could be a good thing. Show the evolution of time, show how it goes from awkwardness to the day of our wedding

"I'm dying to know what happened at the weekend?" Rebecca asks me as she shuts down her laptop wanting all the gossip.

"There's not much to tell, it was extremely awkward" I say to them shrugging my shoulder not knowing what else to say. It's true though it was extremely awkward i never knew what to say or how to act. I think i spent most my time sitting there trying to make myself look friendly when let's face it i'm not really a warm and welcoming person.

"Did you at least talk to him? He's hot" Lauren points out to me

"I know their hot, that's not the problem. The problem is trying to see if i have a connection with him"I blurt out

"So you're admitting they are both hot" Rebecca picks up on what i said before i do

I look down at my blue ripped jeans and begin to fidget with the sleeve of my grey jumper hoping the conversation would end.

"Yeah they are both hot but"I begin to say before stopping myself

"His parents want me to stay at the house on the nights where i don't have uni the next day" I share with them with the look of help written all over my face. I already know this is a bad idea and i can tell by their faces they think it's a bad idea too.

"Are you going to do it?" Rebecca asks me leaning further forward on her chair

"It's not like i have much of an option" I answer them and bite my lip thinking of all the ways this could go wrong.

"How many days will you be spending with them then?" Lauren asks my with her pen in hand and notebook in front of her.

"I think a Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Friday night and Saturday night. Cause what we have College monday, tuesday and friday so that means i'll be at dorms sunday night, dorms monday night, their's tuesday, theirs wednesday,dorms thursday, theirs friday, theirs saturday and dorms sunday." I explain to them then sink my head into my hands after realising i spent 4 nights a week at their house and 3 at the dorms. Fantastic.

"Least you get 3 nights away from them" Rebecca attempts to lighten it up a little

"Which also means we should schedule our nights out for the days i'm at dorms cause i think they would kill me if i decided to sleep at dorms when i'm meant to be at the house and no way am i walking through their door pissed with most likely my hooha out". I shake my head not liking the thought of it at all, i never want them to see me in that kind of state.

"When does this start then?" Lauren asks me trying to work up a schedule

"Tonight" I say rolling my eyes
