"And then yesterday I spent the whole day shopping with Chloe now my feet hurt but dinner was nice they cooked lobster! . Earlier today uncle Max , Sofie and aunt Nina drove Chloe and I to the school premises we got cleared a few minutes ago "I breathed

" They dropped us at our studio , we decided to share a studio and now I'm out taking a walk I unpacked everything already "I breathed again

" I'm sorry I didnt call you yesterday I forgot ....school begins tomorrow, I'm so excited"

Pheww I had finally finished explaining everything in detail to my Mother.

"Baby stay safe love you dont get in trouble I trust you , take care of Chloe and tell her i said hi...bye i have to attend a meeting downtown"
Me take care of Chloe? If only she knew.

"Bye mom" I said but she'd already cut the call.

Yes! I was finally here , my dream school.I stared at the green grass growing long , the alumnae responding to the grass as if on cue as it blossomed.

Walking back to the studio I felt happy and sad , this was the first time I'd ever been in a new environment what if everyone ended up hating me like at my previous school, in that case I still had Chloe but what if she got lost in the crowd.

Stop overthinking Oliver.

"How was your innocent walk church girl?" Asked Chloe as soon as I'd entered the studio.

The place was nice but I wont describe it... descriptions? Not my thing.

"I'm not a fucking church girl Chloe"

"Awww she learnt how to cuss , where'd you hear the word along your walk?"

"I already knew the word"

"Say another bad word"

"Fuck"

"Go on "

"Shit"

"Go on"

"No , I'm not your puppet."

"I'm still proud of you Oli"

"Whatever Chloe" I snapped.

Tomorrow school begins that meant I had to sleep earlier than usual.

Without any second thoughts I jusmped on my bed and fell fast asleep.

▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️

I waited for Chlo to finish up , as I sat in her car listening to a Taylor swift song.

Midnight, you come and pick me up, no headlights
Long drive, could end in burning flames or paradise
Fade into view, oh,
It's been a while since I have even heard from you
(Heard from you)
And I should just tell you to leave 'cause
I Know exactly where it leads but I
Watch it go round and round each time

You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style...

I sang along , my voice is not that bad.

"Hey cousin" greeted Chloe as she got in the car.

"Hey Chlo"

"You ready?" She asked

"Whenever you are"...yes I'm this cheesy , everyone has a flaw or two.

The university was even more perfect in the morning. The grass was wet with dew and the school logo managed to make me more excited.

Fortunately for me Chlo and I had different schedules so we parted as soon as we'd exited her car.

Hello Oxford. I murmured to myself.

focused entirely on the school's appearance it took me a few seconds to register that I'd hit a wall. But walls don't move , shit it was a person.

Consequences...
