Chapter 5

i'm ever so grateful i became a supreme stalker that night. the day after the class we received an email saying that we were going to be given group projects. I've always hated these. ell for as long as i've attended university, they have been particularly bothersome. whether it be the fact that we are given work which is not suited for a group project and i end up doing it by myself or the fact that i just don't socialize and know everyone. it is obvious who i'm hoping to get in my group ....Stacey Lucas....of course i want Maddox in my group. After so many years alone i honestly thought i would be extremely desperate at this point...I suppose that i may just be fed up with running after people.

I know i haven't been very clear about my university studies...well i've basically explained what i study in my subject without explaining in actual detail my university life. I am currently in my first year of this subject, we have just started the second semester, which is why we are starting new projects. I have six separate modules , not going to go into too much detail but the project is for a class being taught by Laura Hooper whom i haven't met yet as she was off last week .

I didn't do much over the weekend, which is normal, i cleaned a bit, read a bit, did some exercise and that was basically my weekend until Monday night , when my mobile made a noise that it hadn't made before, it was a Facebook message , my heart did a metaphorical leap when i saw it was from Maddox, then worry started to settle in. why on earth would he be messaging me? we said we'd see each other on Tuesday? is he sick? is he okay? my worries were settled however when i read;

hey! i was wondering if uou were coming into uni tonorrow?- M

Hello Maddox. Of course, why wouldn't I be? - C

oh well...I dont' relly know you, so i didn't know if you would anwer or not XD -M

XD? -C

you dont' know wat XD means? it's like a face you make when you're kinda like joking or sheepsh or something like that. i use it a lot to show that i'm finding something funny or saying something ihat isnt' supposted to be taken seriously , i don't use lol or anyhing like haha - M

okay, I think that i understand now XD -C

yeah that's it! don't worry you dont' need to use that just cuz i do, at least you knwo what it means now! -M

Yes ,thank you for informing me of the meaning, i'm not "down with the kids" so to say -C

nah it's cool, i'm not really good with people our age either we'll just stick together, i have some support comign in tomorrow, but i don't know them, save a seat for me k? -M

oh my goodness that sounded creepy and clingy, for get i said that! how do i delete?- M

haha, it's alright Maddox, yeah we'll stick together and there will be a seat free, i'll sit at the end so that you and your support could sit further in the row-C

thank you! see you tommorrow! night night! - M

Goodnight Maddox- C

i felt giddy as i dropped my phone onto my chest smiling like a love sick school girl in those programs on disney channel or nickelodeon . I had to occupy myself with something didn't I? I know I said I wasn't down with the kids but sometimes children's television programs are more sensible then adult ones.

'the blissful sound reached my ears , the laughter of my child made my heart soar . all she was doing was jumping on the single bed which we had to share but she was enjoying herself nevertheless. Children have always amazed me...they find joy in the simplest of things. There are many different skills that we could learn by observing the next generation. The natural care and grace they seem to have with nature and their innocent outlook on life is always something that should be admired'

The next day couldn't come soon enough, our first class was presented by Laura Hooper, who was a short woman with a blonde bob and blue eyes. Maddox was late though I saw the reason for this nearly as soon as he entered the room. There was a person behind him, he was tall and had his dark hair styled in what I've heard described as an 'emo cut' he had a little bit of stubble but only looked around twenty one.

'hi' maddox said as he sat down next to me, I was the only one at the front so it wouldn't have been difficult for him to figure out who I was. 'hello maddox, everything okay?' I asked a bit concerned as his support sat next to him bringing out his headphones and an ipod. 'yeah I guess, this is luke' he looked up when he heard his name and gave a slight wave, which I returned. I was happy that Luke was there today, Maddox seemed a lot less anxious throughout the class.

4it was the end of the first hour with Laura, then of course the time that most students dread; ' okay class so I'm going to be giving you partners or groups for the project assessment ,blah blah blah....okay so that's it,....' I saw Maddox nudge Luke slightly who seemed pretty into his music . I had realized that his name hadn't been mentioned whatsoever, my name had been mentioned along with a fellow classmate's who I had quickly forgot once I realized that it wasn't Maddox. And as I saw the lack of action from luke I raised my hand because I'm polite and I don't like how you have to interrupt to say something ' excuse me, you missed someone, a Maddox?' Laura frowned at me and then looked at her list again with furrowed eyebrows before going online and getting the register up...she was trying to prove me wrong as she could've simply just spoke and said ' is this right sorry go with....blah blah blah...' you could see everyone's profile pictures -which other lecturers have had the decency to hide- before scrolling down to someone who was of course Maddox . Laura seemed confused as she probably assumed that I was maddox, yet she continued and said 'ah yes apologies Maddox umm...you go with...Chester and amity ' I could tell that he had a relieved look on his face as he turned to me again. I suppose he was like myself with social interaction but something inside of me argues against that. something said that if he knew people and were comfortable he could talk at the speed of light .

After Laura's class we had an hour free and Luke decided to leave Maddox, it's understandable as he wouldn't be paid for the time that he was there but i know that Maddox would've preferred him to stay. So i decided to stick next to Maddox and go to a room with him, just a simple study room -well saying that it was quite a large study room with computers and many seats but lucky for us it was empty .

I had no idea what to say, I could tell that maddox was trying to at least think of something which would start a conversation but he was coming up short. well I don't really know much about maddox but there is some thing i know.

'so English?' i asked as i sat across from him, that seemed to startle him as he went 'wha?-oh yeah English...it's a language' he replied with a grin. I chuckled a bit , i liked his humour ' yes and it is also the main subject of the course that you are doing. what got you interested?' I asked curiously . He started to get his packed lunch out of his bag and placed it on the table. it was a cute little avengers lunchbox , the type that you would see a child using, I thought it was adorable but it was probably because of the compartments inside and how ridiculously small the current lunch boxes are at the moment in the stores . 'oh umm i want to be a writer...and a teacher. well to be honest i wanted to do maths but the careers advisor crushed my dreams and i like to write so why not inspire others to write?' i saw his logic there, but i am very interested in seeing these writings that he speaks of 'you write?' i inquired which caused a nice little blush to appear on his cheeks 'oh yeah i do, nothing serious but i enjoy it , my main choice is monologues but i venture into short stories and poems sometimes. all of my writing is online , it's under my name ...sort of miller has only one l in it...cause that'll definitely throw people off knowing it's really me'' well i know what i'm looking up tonight.
