Chapter 35
More like the heavens wanted to save me from the states I was getting right now when Tyler kept his gaze transfixed on mine with no expression on, he had a completely straight face making me feel weird that I had a shock look on.
My phone happened to beep at this moment, interrupting my gaze on his.
” Excuse me please ” I said to Alina who nodded and I rushed out, not after passing Tyler a last glance.
I finished receiving the call, it was mom. She wanted to ask me about how my day went.
But why the hell is Tyler here? I didn’t tell him about my plans to come here then, did I? No I didn’t, I didn’t even have plans of coming here before anyways.
Oh God, my college days is about to go awkward. Wait, is he going to start questioning me now?
I.. I don’t even know what to think right now, I can’t go back in there. I definitely can’t.
With that, I brought out my phone and texted Amy.
*Bring me my meal to the hostel please* I sent with a puppy pleading face and I made my way back to the hostel.
Oh God, alright this is crazy! Really crazy, I.. I seriously can’t think straight right now.. I can’t!
Tyler.. Tyler is here! Tyler of all people! Why him!? Why do I have to run into him here? Why did he have to choose this school? Why did I also choose this school in the first place?
Oh God, I’m going crazy right now.
” Hey ” Amy said coming in with Alina and Anita behind her.
” Hey, are you okay? ” Anita asked and I nodded.
” Thanks ” I muttered as Amy handed over me my food in a plastic.
I opened it, ignoring their questioning face and began chewing slowly.
” You know my cousin? ” Anita suddenly asked, enough to make me choke but I didn’t.
Alright, I’m going to play cool. Tyler doesn’t seem to give a sweat or thing, we were just kids then right?
We didn’t really have a chemistry together, did we? Only a last kiss and goodbye and that was it.
He never called definitely cause he never missed me and I didn’t, and that means everything’s in the past now.
” Hey!” Alina snapped me out of my thoughts and I snapped back to reality.
” We were just friends, you know.. highschool friends. We never really talked that much. Only surprised to see him here ” I said before I could realize what I had said but does it really matter? I’m not lying, I don’t lie.
I’m going to tell them what they need to know and it’s the truth anyways. We were more like highschool friends.
” Highschool friends? He’s two years older right? ” Anita asked with a raised brow but I shook my head.
” No, definitely not. I’m the same age as he his. I couldn’t come to college earlier cause of my low grades, I had really poor grades ” I lied. Yeah, I lied.
” Oh, but couldn’t your parents work it out? I mean.. ”
” My mom is a woman of principles, she wanted me to work my way in myself through good grades ” I said, my mom really is a woman of principles, so that wasn’t kinda a lie.
” Alright then, but why didn’t he say a thing to you and he acted like he didn’t know you? ” Amy asked with a little scoff.
” He’s always like that ” Anita rolled her eyes.
” We aren’t.. like we weren’t friends like that, just “hi” you know, that kind of thing. We never really talked ” I said and she nodded.
” So you’re two years older, what should we call you? Big sis? ” Alina teased and I scoffed.
” No, don’t. I’m really still young and I look young anyways so it doesn’t matter, we’re friends ” I said and they smiled.
I hope things go well.
” We have a class in thirty minutes ” Alina reminded Amy and she nodded.
” Yeah, I better get a short nap now before then ” She said and hurried over to her bed.
” Yeah me too ” Alina muttered and then rushed out of our room.
I glanced at Anita and she also did the same, we both chuckled at the same time before going to our various beds.
” We’re having our last class by 5pm ” She said and I nodded. I tapped on my phone screen and it was 1pm, I guess we have enough time to take a nap before class.
* Later In The Evening *
We were just coming back from our last class for the day when HE suddenly stood before us. The last person I was hoping to see.
” Hey Tyler, why are you here? ” Anita asked at once while I only looked elsewhere. His gaze was on mine, I could feel it.
He finally tore his gaze away from mine. ” They’re around ” He said simply in a thick raspy voice enough to sweep a girl off her feet. Alright, that wasn’t the only thing that changed in him but that was a big one.
His voice is now really thicker than before, he’s grown really huge, his arms, abs, muscles, packs, everything has changed.
With this huge body, really handsome face, and his usual bad boy look and style, he must have lots of girls running after him.
He definitely has a girlfriend, not like I care and I really don’t, it’s been three years already and I wasn’t expecting him to hold whatever we had then in his heart.
Well, I’m probably saying this because I didn’t do so, and I know he also didn’t, so tht way we’re fine, I guess.
He walked away immediately after saying those words.
” Hey, I will be back ” Anita said and after passing me one last suspicious look, she hurried after Tyler.
I rolled my eyes lightly before walking away. Why’s he acting like I did something wrong in the past and what’s with the blank expression.
I hisses lightly before walking away.
* Five Days Later *
It’s been five days now and everything’s been going on perfectly.
Mom calls me every minutes claiming Little Amelia was missing me.
And school’s been working out perfectly for me too. I’m doing really well than I expected.
And for some reason, it seems really easy for me to read and I understand everything being taught perfectly probably because I’m kinda older.
” Mom I missed you ” I recalled Amelia’s words during our call and I smiled widely.
” You care to tell me what you’re thinking about? ” Amy asked beside me and I flinched lightly.
” Hey, I thought you were asleep ” I said, suprised.
” Well, I am now. Goodnight ” She said, yawning tiredly.
It was a Saturday and she had went for some practicals early in the morning and she had only came back some minutes ago, tiredly and falling to the bed.
It was late, I guess. It was night, 8 pm, not that late. By now, every students had retired to their room.
Anita was also in bed not sleeping, but reading. She was more of a little nerd, tho I am one too but she seemed to be reading every moment.
I need some fresh air, I’m bored and not sleepy.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
I grabbed my phone and walked out of the room. I made my way to the rooftop, yeah the same rooftop where I had almost gotten lost.
Well, I found out some days ago that it really isn’t that far from our room.
I only got lost cause I wasn’t familiar with the school’s vicinity, well I am now so I will be coming here so often.
**
” Hmm ” I breathe in the air as I stood on the rooftop, it took me a few minutes to get here.
This place was pretty dark just like I love it. There was a switch to turn on the lights but I preferred it like this.
I sat down on the bare floor since it was clean, the cleaner always have the rooftop cleaned too, and I really don’t care anyways, I was putting on a black outfit.
I smiled, admiring the shinning stars.
” You also prefer the dark? ” I heard a thick voice behind me, making me startle a little but on seeing his face and inhaling his scent, I breathe in relief.
” Are you some kind of freak? ” I scoffed lightly and he chuckled.
” This i my hideout if you don’t know, so literally you’re invading my privacy ” He replied, proudly and I scoffed once again as he settled his butt on the floor right next to me.
” How often do you come here? ” I asked.
” I’m always here, this is like my home ” He responded, also staring at the stars.
” Is Alina really your sister? ” I asked without thinking and he seemed to be taken aback with the question as he turned to me at once.
