Into You (COMPLETE)

Chapter 5

CHAPTER 5:

Emma's POV:

Seeing as it is still 4, I decide to freshen up a little and complete the homework. Yaa, I know how pathetic, first day and the professors are already ruthless. I sit at the dining table with a few books that have a little homework. An hour into the homework, my phone starts ringing. It’s an unknown number, I wonder if I should pick it up or not but end up picking it up.

“Hi!?” I say in the phone a little unsure.

“Hey! It is Jules. Why did you runoff after last period? I wanted to ask you something.” Jules says.

“Oh! I was in a rush to... for something.” I pathetically attempt to lie. One more thing to know about me is that I suck at lying. “By the way, how did you get my number?”

“Okayy?” she says a little suspiciously. “I asked Jeremy for your number, I figured you knew each other by the interesting conversation you had during the second lecture.” She answers the second question.

“So, what did you want to ask?” I ask her trying to distract her, which I successfully do.

“Oh! Yes! We are going to a club this weekend, and you are coming with us” she tells me instead of the question I thought she was asking.

“Huh!?” is all I can utter.

“I will see you tomorrow at the restaurant. We are meeting up and may go out too. So meet me at 2 at the restaurant.” She says and hangs up the phone.

She doesn’t give me a chance to say anything back at all. So, I think I am meeting them tomorrow and going to the club too, how can I forget that. I save her number in my phone.

By the time I am done with homework, it is six in the evening. I decide that I should prepare dinner for myself and also look up for jobs, as I cannot sit at home the other four days of the week when I don’t have Uni.

I decide on cooking Fettuccini pasta with garlic bread. I look up for a YouTube video as i suck at cooking but I absolutely adore baking. I find a video and start cooking.

I am done cooking by 8:30, which is a really long time. But the food looks somewhat edible. I hope it tastes really nice or all of my efforts would go to waste. I take a bite and I have to spit it out as it tastes like crap. I throw the food in the trash can and settle to order something. I decide to order Chinese. I look up for places and find a place with four star reviews, but it doesn’t deliver. I place my order for pick up.

I change my clothes and go down and prefer walking then driving as I feel a little lazy to drive. I reach the place in about five minutes. There is a long line for pick up, and I am almost outside the restaurant.

As I look around, I see Jeremy crossing the road towards where my apartment is. He is with a girl and something stirs inside my heart. But I shake the feeling off and walk ahead as the line moves. I think about how easy it has always been for Jeremy to make friends. He had so many friends during school and now in college too. I wish I could be that friendly and comfortable with new people.

“Excuse me ma’am” the person serving says. I grab my food and start my walk towards apartment. It’s a five minute walk. But I love walking. It gives me some peace and it also gives me time to think of my day. It gives me some me time.

I reach the apartment and get ready to have my dinner. After dinner, I wash the dishes put them in the shelves. By the time am done with the chores it is 9:30. I feel a little tired so I decide to go to bed early today. I fall asleep within minutes.

I wake up with wide eyes and look around. I have nightmare sometimes but I remember what they are when I get up. I look around as I feel like someone is looking. But no one is there in the room and the door is locked too. I have to go back to sleep so I grab the sleeping pills from the bathroom cabinet and go to sleep.
