A/N
Hey there to whoever decided to read this story. If you are here please take into consideration that this is my first story and i have no idea what Im doing. I would love it if you would give me your opinion while you read and remember this is supposed to be a cliché story :)
Again thank you and i will try to upload as much as possible. Btw this story ain't edited so if that's important to you, you might as well go now.

All i could see was his face, "How Could you?" were the words playing over and over. Slowly he became more distant, i tried running to him, and screaming his name, but he didn't listen. I felt the sweat begin to form on my forehead and my legs giving up from under me, i just wouldn't stop. It would not be fair to him, after all it was my fault. I couldn't see him anymore, he was gone but i kept running, running from the guilt that was chasing me like i was him. Until at last, my knees buckled, so i stopped, and let the guilt take over, a dark cloud consuming me.

I woke, a cold sweat covering my whole body. So much for a good nights sleep i guess. One thing is for sure, i have never been a morning person and never will be. I sit up groaning once Fluffy comes asking for her food, she walks around my legs as i get up and walk out of my room and in to the kitchen. She doesn't really like anybody but me, i was walking around the Animal Center looking at dogs with an old friend and there she was. She was put away from all other cats or animals for that sake, but her different colored eyes and beautiful white fluffy fur with a few black spots really caught my attention. So to everybody's surprise i went over and picked her up, i then petted her til she started purring. After that there was no way i was leaving without her, so i sorted all the paperwork and now here i am. Which is pretty weird since i have never been a cat-person or an animal-person i general.

I pour the dry food up into her bowl and rinse her water before filling it up again, all while she looks like she is the happiest she's ever been. Now that she has gotten her food i can go take a shower before i have to go to school. I walk into my pretty nice bathroom if i say so myself, of course it isn't like a penthouse on the top floor of my parents building like some of the other students, but considering i have achieved everything myself with no help from anybody i think it is pretty well done. I got my own scholarship and worked two jobs thru out freshman year to build enough money so that i could get this apartment. It was a pretty tough year and sophomore wasn't much better, but i would do it all over again if it meant that i then didn't have to have a roommate. I don't care what anybody says, i would have chosen to live on the street rather than having a roommate. I mean, how can one live with knowing that there is another person in ones house and you just have to live with it. I can hear everything they do and the other way around. Like come on, i dont want to know when they then are having sex or the other way around. And down to little details like having to argue over who does what in the house and that you don't have your own space when you come home, you have to share it with someone. If i wanna be with actual people and not just Fluffy than a will go out or invite some over that i can kick out whenever i want.

I get out of the shower and get dressed. The outfit i have chosen for another hot summer day is nothing special just a cute flowy summerdress with a whole lot of flowers all over it. My phone rings and it is my one and only friend Leila, i dont even have to pick it up to know she's calling because she's outside. I hurry up gathering my things and quickly jump in front of the mirror to see how it looks. Leila honks outside so i hurry up and yell at her even if she can't hear it. going down the one set of stairs that i have and out to my redheaded bff. As always she looks beautiful in her black two piece with and even shorter skirt then me. "Theres my best bitch! And she's looking hot today damn!" She yells at me while i walk over to her red open roof car, and if i even gave one little fuck about cars i would know the kind. I blush at her words and just hope that none of my neighbors are present at this moment. You could say that Leila is one of the students that live in a penthouse on top of her parents building, the difference between her and everybody else like that tho is that she doesn't have the stuck up attitude that mostly follows. I would give credit to her parents for that one.

As we pull up to the school i look at the giant front building and still cant believe that i got in. I got in to one of the most prestigious colleges here in America, Harvard University. I know classic and many people probably don't share my opinion but that's there problem not mine. We arrived and went inside to go to our separate classes. Since i was a English major i went in the opposite direction than she did for my first class and she then she went to hers. I went in as quietly as possible and sat in my usual seat all the way in the back where no one can see me.
Class went by pretty quickly and all of a sudden the day was over and I was on my way over to my locker to get the papers I needed for my homework later. My phone was out and I was walking and texting Leila that I'll be out in like ten minutes. All of a sudden it felt like i hit a wall, a very hot one to be exact, and as I look up I see the most beautiful jawline that I have ever seen. Like even better than Shawn Mendes jawline. Which on a sidetrack is godlike. My eyes make there way up to the lips that are formed into a smirk I'm sure makes girls swoon, and then those pearly whites that right now are on display. But what kept me staring the longest were the eyes, those green perfect eyes. The best part was that they were staring right back at me, but with a evil glint. Mine was probably filled with shock and then embarrassment when he said
"If you're gonna keep looking you might as well take a picture, that won't walk away and leave you to fall"
And right as he said that it popped up in my mind that I was for a fact still leaning against him and to make it even worse I was frozen in my place. I took a moment to compose myself and then the cold look that I have mastered to perfection is back on my face
"Sorry I guess you just weren't that important to keep an eye on" I say with the coldest voice I can muster up to match it with my eyes. I than walk away head held high and hopefully leaving him speechless.
As I'm walking out to Leila I can't help but think about who I had bumped into. I don't think I have ever seen him around before, at least not close enough so I would see it.
Leila drives me home and then leaves me to my homework, of course as soon as I started my thoughts were everywhere but on the poem I was supposed to be analyzing. I thought about that one pair of eyes, i think we all know which were the ones that I was actually thinking about.
His voice sounded so deep and throaty. Like he had just woken up, I can't even imagine what his morning voice would be like.

Stop with the thoughts!

I dont know what's going on with me. Boys have never been on my mind like this before, i have never had time to think about them like that. They were always just a labpartner or someone who asked me for answers. I never in a million years thought they could be hot.

With those thoughts taking over my mind i fell into another nightmare filled sleep.
