Hard choice

Chapter 4.

      My alarm rang for the third time as I jumped out of bed a little confused because I wasn't used to waking up through alarms. Besides I was still tired from last night. I had worked extra hard so I could get done with organising my room. And it appeared just the way I wanted.

   I rushed to the bathe and quickly had a rubdown after which I dried off my skin and applied some body cream with Kelsey opposite me doing the same. It was a little relieving that my roommate and I shared same course.

   I then moved to my closet and pulled out a 3/4 length trouser and a read T-shirt which I matched with a pair of snickers. I pulled my hair into a pony with no extra hair on my face. It looked professional.

"You're done?" I asked Kelsey sipping the coffee I had just made. "I don't wanna dab in class." I explained taking another sip. It was pretty hot.

"Ready to go?" She asked me excitedly once everything was set and we where done.

"Sure." I answered carrying my bag which had the required textbooks and the rest of what I needed for orientation.

" I am Viani kelvin ." The tall black man who sat in front of the class introduced sternly barely letting out a smile. He looked  30 years old.

" Before orientation begins, I need proper intro of yourselves. Starting from you." He pointed straight at me who sat left end of the class.

I was nervous. I had my head set straight not noticing anyone around me when I introduced my self.

"I am.... Morgan Cyrus..... 18years old." I said briefly chocking twice.

  Kelsy who sat in front of me was next to do same and she stood like she had been waiting for her turn.

"Kelsey kerry. 18years old." She told Mr kelvin with all confidence talking as brief as I did. Then, next was a fair wavy hair guy who sat in front of her.

Everyone gave their names and age until they where done and we moved on with the orientation. I couldn't help but pray for it to end. It was boring enough to keep anyone awake. I expected everyone to be dabbing but it seemed I was the only one bored.

"Well I enjoyed it. Just the way Mr kelvin talked caught me " Kelsey blushingly told me over the snacks we were having at the café.

"I can't believe you're saying that." I glanced at her very surprised at what she found enjoyable. "Mr kelvin is anything but interesting and you know that."

He's sexy and cute!. We are the K's" She added.

"I think you are developing an obsession." I laughed ending a smirk from her.

    Orientation went on for three good days and it was no fun the way Kelsey made it seem. She had made new friends and all that but I barely knew how to spring up a conversation so I still had my roommate as my only friend.

   All I wanted was for classes to start right away so, everyday that passed, I would know I'm getting closer to my dreams. During orientation, I had seen Sera and her famous boyfriend Aydan. Aydan and I had had eye contact like twice this week but non of us made a move in greeting. While Sera looked just as annoying as I imagined.

********************

I slept and woke up for the third time. I had not gone for mass. I knew today, Sunday was the perfect day for me to gain all the sleep lost during the week. But at some point around 10pm I was fully awake. Though I wished I could sleep more and save myself from the boredom that awaited me.

I took a bathe and jumped into a loose trouser and inner wear. I then got some cucumber out of the fridge and sat on my bed with the plate set on my laps.

"You look bored." Kelsey said from her end removing her headset and clicking something on her laptop. She was still in her pyjamas and didn't look like she was taking them off anytime soon.

"Exactly." I confirmed letting out some air. Everything was in place. There was nothing to do and no where to go to.

"Lets watch Titanic. I can't ever stop loving that movie." She suggested filling her mouth with pop corn I had not noticed was by her lap, that early !

"Romance!" I sighed reluctantly joining her. "I don't wanna get emotional. Not today. Lets watch power instead. That's one of my favourite series." I quickly suggested beginning the search.

"Season 6 is on the blow and I have been so busy I didn't have the time to watch it."

" Whatever." She frowned I knew she didn't like my suggestion.

It wasn't too long when the movie began and she was already sleeping. I can't believe of all movies power could bore her. I enjoyed the movie and ate the rest of her popcorn. Then slept again.

It was already about 5pm when I woke up. This time , I thought of taking a stroll rather than being a couched potato all day. Kelsey was no where in the room. She had probably gone out while I slept.

I thought of having dinner. But how on earth was I going to look eating all by myself in a restaurant? Pathetic. But there's no way I was staying home all day. I know stomaching the idea of having dinner out all alone was crazy but nothing was more crazy like sleeping all day.

   With my family, today was gonna be a sure day for a classic family outing and if I was there, I wouldn't have to sleep till I developed a headache.

Like now!

I quickly changed into a light blue gown which went half way down my thigh and a black sandal. It was simple enough for a lonely dinner.

I took a cab to Joe's pizza. I had googled and found out that the pizza there was great. Once I alighted I hesitantly pulled my self into the restaurant and my heart dropped.

   Everyone was in their pairs and groups having a great time. I finally saw how crazy it was to think I can chill alone. I quickly ran a gaze over the people who sat there hoping I could catch sight of someone I know.

Who else if not Aydan?

My subconscious mind teased. But I wasn't taking that as a "go home" warning. I didn't care if I still looked pathetic my second encounter with him.

  I knew kelsey too, She could still be here. Besides pizza was her thing.

"Do not console yourself." My subconscious mocked.

   I kept  darting until I caught sight of him .

  
 

   Sorry 😟...being sick made me unable to update for you all. Am not much better but I knew I had to do it for your sake. Hope you vote and comment.

Ques: when was the last time you met someone you didn't want to be your savior??
  For me, it was when I couldn't sing all by myself at school and some girl I think I'm allergic to showed up.
