College Love Affair

Chapter 26 - Helpless

--Megan--

I left the dean's office with anger, filled up in my entire body. I felt like smashing something; like smashing someone. I didn't know what else to do. I knew Crystal framed me but I had no proof of that and I didn't know how to prove my innocence. I guess it was my time to leave. I guess it was never meant to be.

As I walked the halls of the school, I avoided eye contact with everyone that passed me. I couldn't bare to look at anyone with what just happened. I was more mad at myself than anyone else for doing this to Crystal and for doing this to myself. If I never got involved with Tyler, everything would be ok. I would still have Ian, I would still have Crystal and I wouldn't be getting kicked out of university.

I finally reached the hallway of my dorm room and once I got to the door, I struggled to open it because I just had no energy. I was hoping I could plop down on my bed, fall asleep and when I wake up the next day, none of this happened and I could live my life like every other day. Only, when I opened the door, I found Tyler sitting on my bed, a look of worry on his face.

"Tyler! What the fuck! What are you doing in here?" I shouted, shocked.

"I was worried about you."

"Ok, I see that but what I meant was how did you get in here?"

"Well, I was coming over to see you and when I got here, the door was already open and something didn't feel right so I thought someone took you away."

"So your plan was just to wait here in hopes that I would come back?"

"Well when you say it like that, it sounds like a horrible plan."

I sat down on my bed next to Tyler and I could feel his lips on my neck as his hand caressed my body, but I pushed him away. "Stop." I said.

"Is something wrong?" he asked.

"You know how I wasn't here and you thought I was taken away?" I said, looking down at the floor.

"Yeah?"

"I was in the dean's office."

"What? What happened?"

"Apparently, I cheated on my psychology exam and now I'm being kicked out." I said, tears starting to roll down my face.

"How would they even find that out?" he asked, shocked.

"Crystal. She conveniently sat down next to me, pretending to be all puppies and rainbows with me, when she only sat there to make sure she could frame me."

"Frame you?"

"At the end of the exam, I finished before her and as I exited, I saw her talking to the supervisor and I found it strange but irrelevant at the time. Then, when I got called to the dean's office, it all made sense."

"I'm still confused on how she framed you."

"That bitch had en extra copy of the exam and wrote down all of the same stuff as her exam but put my name on it to make it look like I cheated. She switched out my exam for the one she copied from her own exam and framed me."

"Why would she even do that?"

"Because she hates me! Ever since she found out you and I had a thing going after I told her she could have you, she hated my guts. She wanted nothing to do with me because I betrayed her and lied to her and I didn't keep my word." I said, sobbing now.

I planted my face into my hands as I began to let everything out. I felt Tyler's arm come around me as his hand rubbed up and down my arm, comforting me. "Shh...Hey, it's gonna be ok." he said.
