People I Don't Know

Unknown number

I woke up with a little headache, I didn't know two glasses of alcohol would give me a headache. I lift myself and sat down on the bed and rested my head on the headboard.

I felt cold, I hugged my knees and then I saw my hand. My wrist turned red like a bruise, he held me tight last night.

He doesn't have to be that mean.

I think I'm feeling better now, last night I cried my heart out letting go of all the pain. I decided to have no more boy drama from now. But when I looked at my phone I realized that I'm not going to get any cooperation for my decision.

8 missed calls from Colin, 1 from Erin and 1 from an unknown number. I rolled my eyes looking at my phone screen.

How to get rid of them?

Can I go back to Florida?

I took a quick shower and got ready for college.

..........

"What happened last night?" Rachel asked me examining my eyes. They looked puffy in the morning, maybe they are still puffy.

I leaned back against my seat and closed my eyes.
"I discovered the truth" I cleared.

"What is it?" She mumbled.

I opened my eyes and looked at her.
"Lust pure lust," I said and lightly chuckled.

"At least he has lust on you. It sounds good." She said and winked at me.

"Seriously?" I raised my brow.

"What's wrong? He's a hot guy. You can try." she said smiling mischievously.

She made me blush but I managed not to smile
"But I don't want to lose my virginity by only lust," I stated.

"What?" She opened her mouth wide in shock.

"What??" I scoffed.

"Are you still a virgin?" She questioned me.

"Shut up!" I yelled lightly feeling embarrassed.

"Unbelievable" she commented.

"I think you are not," I said smiling at her.

"Definitely not." She cleared.

"But who?" I asked her with curiosity.

"Your brother." She joked and laughed. She started focusing on the roads again.

"Let's talk about Erin," she said looking at the roads.

"Maybe he was drunk," I mumbled turning my head straight.

"You still believe him??" She suddenly raised her voice.

"I don't know," I said and sniffed.

Rachel stayed quiet. Do I still believe him? Should I? I don't know, I don't want to decide yet.

I closed my eyes while losing in my thoughts, my phone began to ring. I opened my eyes to see an unknown number, the same one that I saw in my morning missed calls list. The call went off before I could answer. I didn't try to call back.

I stepped out of the car when Rachel parked the car in the parking area. I crossed my hands across my chest feeling cold and started walking into the college.

Then I came across Erin, he didn't see me. I thought my blood will boil when I see him after what he said last night but it didn't. I felt strange, my heartbeat increased and I couldn't look away.

I feel something inside my body, especially in my stomach. Strange! Are these that butterflies, the people in love talk about? I never felt this way, what's happening Neel?
