The college feud || a Reylo fan fic!

6) The results

It was too bright.
Everything around her was too bright. She was puzzled. Since when did I ever leave my blind open?

Her eyes slowly opened and it hit her. She never opened her blinds. So who's house was she in?

She began to sit up but she placed her head back on the ever so comfy pillow as her head began to pound in her skull. She squeezed her eyes shut and pulled her hand to her face. She rubbed her eyes while trying to remember anything that had happened the night before. She couldn't.

But slow images started to fill her head.

A blonde haired boy handing her a drink, she remembered the drug and how she threw the contents of the cup in his face and she remembered sitting at the end of the driveway.

And then she remembered seeing him.

And that leads her back to here as that's all she remembers. She tried to ignore the ferocious headache but it was instantly replaced with an aching parchment at the back of her throat.

She finally opened her eyes and took in her surroundings. She was lying in a queen bed- black sheets cocooned around her and next to her lay a sliding door (blinds open) that lead to a balcony.

She lifted her hand to her face once again but stopped once she realised that she was wearing a very large sweater with the words "First Order College", But she still had her jeans on. She quickly sprang out of bed, slightly wobbly as her headache hit her hard. He wasn't with her and from the looks of things he wasn't even home.

Starting to panic she gathered her belongings, took off the jumper and practically ran straight to the door. There was no way she was ever going to redeem herself from whatever she did last night. Before she reached the front door she heard a soft snore sound from a few meters away. Looking over she realised that he actually was home but instead he was asleep in a very uncomfortable looking position on the couch.

Her heart started to ache when she realised what she was doing. He took care of her, made sure she was alright and what does she go and do.

She leaves.

She scowls at herself, you hypocrite!

But the longer she looked at his sleeping form, the stronger the feeling of wanting to get out hit her, she would just give him a thank you text.

That day never came. She never thanked Ben for taking her home and making sure she was alright. In fact she had erased him from her mind altogether, so focused on her studies- especially with her exam a few days away.

Rey was distracted throughout the rest of the week and gave up on studying- surely she would have this in the bag?

Well at least that's what she thought.

After quickly glancing over her notes - barely processing anything, she put her stuff away and head off towards her class in which the exam would be held. Rey was almost late but she slumped in her seat and gave a big puff of air once she had settled down.
———————
She had five minutes left of her engineering exam and her brow was knitted into an intense knot. Her brain seemed to stop working and all of the notes she had memorised became blurry. She tried to use her commonsense to her advantage- such as, if a car had stopped running you would check the battery first. But this was an engineering exam, it would never do you any good to just use commonsense, you had to actually know stuff but unfortunately for Rey she just stopped thinking!
She tried to keep her breathing pattern slow and steady but with having quite a few questions left and only a few minutes to do them in, rey's heart silently shattered.

After the exam, Rey practically ran back to her dorm. She was very disappointed in herself. How could she completely forget absolutely everything she had ever studied.

The results didn't actually take long to come in but Rey was dreading the mark she would receive. She held her laptop close, ready to tap on the link that would give her, her score.

Finally plucking up the courage to tap on the link she sat there nervously.

Her heart sank.
Of course
She would have to do that class all over again.

There was no use fighting it. She applied for the same coarse again and went straight to sleep letting the tears run down her cheeks.
