New friend
Mary
You all good sweetie?
Claire
Yes mom for the 5th time. I'm fine, I'm more than ready
Mary
"sniffing" I'm just trying to make sure you don't leave anything behind on your first day
Claire
Mom.. "planting a kiss on her forehead*
I'm just going to college.. I'll come visit
Mary
I know you will "smiles"
Mary
My baby's all grown up
You don't need anything else right?
Mary
I'm sorry "chuckles" I'll head back now
I'm going to miss you so much
keep in touch
Claire
Always
"pulling her into a final hug, she left"
A new chapter has begun in my life
Claire
"I walked down the hallway and stopped at my dorm. I took a deep breath and opened the door " I walk in and meet a girl with headphones.
Claire
"walking past her to drop my luggage"
I quietly tap her while she removed her headphones
Hi "I smiled"
Claire
"Obviously" still smiling
it was a awkward moment of endless stares given by her
Claire
"wasn't the reaction I expected"
"I expect a rude, nonChalant character"
Claire
"smiles" I'm Claire, your new roomie
Chloe
Hey roomie "stretches my hand for a shake"
I arrived two days before you
What's your major?
Chloe
Same as me "jumps excitedly"
Claire
"smiles" I guess we'll get along very well
Claire
I'll like to take a shower firstly
We can get to chat later.
One shower and few hours later the sun is setting through my windows above the bed
Claire
"I look around to find Chloe asleep "
She has a feminine figure, bright green eyes, a bit short tho.. she looks extremely friendly. I can't wait to interact with her
Claire
"I quickly unpack my stuffs and keep the in order. changing into my pyjamas, I bring out some snacks and my laptop
As I sat down on the bed, my phone vibrated . The screen lit up with a text from mom, asking of my well being.
I do miss her alot. The thought of waking up tomorrow and spend the day with her instead of going to classes scares me. We text for a while until she slept off.. it was my first class tomorrow morning. it would be a good start to the day. I put my notebooks and pens into a bag and called it a day. i felt anxious about tomorrow.. till I drifted to sleep"
Chapter 2
Claire
My alarm goes off by 7am. I shut it off, I need more time to sleep. I've got class by 8
Chloe
Claire! Claire! "shaking her from sleep"
it's 7: 40am..we're gonna be late
Claire
Yeah yeah.. 7:40 is too early "still sleep talking"
Chloe
Claire! "screams" WAKE THE HELL UP!
Claire
Ohhh fine "sighs"
I quickly sat and grabbed my alarm clock to read the time. 7: 45!!! "I screamed" shit shit shit! I'm gonna be late on my first day
Claire
I ran into the bathroom alongside Chloe who kept giggling "which was annoying 😂" I brush my teeth while trying to brush my hair with my right hand.
Once I made it into the room
I already found Chloe dressed and some outfits for me. A striped shirt and jeans with a black vans
I quickly changed into it. Grabbing my school supplies and rush out the door
It's already 8:00. Luckily I live in the dorm
Claire
So this is it "looking at the building in front of me" I was nervous as hell.
"I inhaled and exhaled"
I pulled out a paper which had my class and schedule on it. I analyzed it and checked my class. 1C
Chloe
Yay!! "excited" The same class as me!
Claire
"I gave a sigh of relief" Thank goodness
I won't be lonely
We looked for the class.. until Finally found it.
We hurried into the class.. Chloe took a seat at the back. while I looked around to find a spot at the front seat
The bell rang for our English class.
The teacher took attendance to know our names. it wouldn't say the class was boring, it's just english.
Claire
Few minutes.. the class was over
Chloe came to my seat and we talked for a while
"The bell rang for the next class
MATHS
Claire
Everyone took their seats
Cole
" I was assigned as a math teacher in the University cordilleras"
"After entering the class, I can tell by the students eyes, gazing over me like some gem"
Good afternoon, I'm your new lecturer Cole Adams
Cole
They were many students staring at me with jaws wide open
Claire
"they were many squeals heard from girls as soon as the math teacher stepped into the class
Claire
"I admit.. he's divine"🤤 but comport yourself ladies!
Cole
I'll love to know you guys more
Are you single? "shouted from behind"
Cole
"chuckles" A bit personal but I am
Claire
"I felt a gush of excitement and relief"
The whole class conversed with Cole for while
Claire
"I feel like I have a thing for maths today Lol"
Eilene
Excuse me Cole
You don't mind me calling you that right?
Claire
"I turned my face to look at the person talking.
She's really beautiful, having a perfect shape, glowing skin and a radiant look"
Claire
"I gazed as she left her seat to mine.
Realizing she held my gaze with hers.. I smiled Hi"
Eilene
"Ignoring" Move "I whispered "
Claire
"Rude" Excuse me? "speaking loudly which turned everyone's attention to us"
Eilene
Don't make a fuss. quietly leave your seat to mine.. "whispering"
Claire
"Rude bitch"
Uhmm.. Are you blind to see I'm seating of this chair
Everyone gazes quietly at the scene
Claire
Yes
She's ordering me with that bitchy attitude of hers to stand up from my chair and go to hers at the back
"laughs" such audacity
Cole
I don't condone bullies in my class
So kindly don't interrupt my class.
Eilene
Sorry Cole "smirks"
'I'll get you little bitch"
"I quietly walk back to my seat furious
The class roared with Applause
Chloe
That's my bitch yeah "smiling"
Few minutes, the class was over
Claire
I hurriedly pack my books while Eilene nudged me giving a scornful look
"rolling my eyes"
Cole
Hey " not knowing why I felt like talking to her"
Claire
You shouldn't apologize "laughs"
She should
Cole
I know
and she wouldn't, so I'm apologizing on her behalf
Claire
Apology accepted "smiles"
Cole
"stretches my hand for a shake"
Claire
"A bit stunned, but quickly shook his hand"
Chloe and I attended few classes before going back to the dorm
tired, we drifted to sleep
Chapter 3
I tossed and turned unable to sleep, turning to the other side to fall back into the hands of sleep since it's weekend but the bright sun won't let me. I checked the alarm clock by my bedside. 6:30!!
I grabbed my phone,scrolled down my Instagram news feed. A post by Kim Kardashian.. loved asap. James Charles..loved. Chadwick Boseman..A king loved. Nadine Lustre😘😍. I check my followers 1000 it doesn't add nor reduce 'so frustrating". A friend request? I clicked on the profile.
OMG!! " I screamed waking Chloe up"
Chloe
"stretching" Girl what the hell!!
Claire
Babe I'm sorry..you should go back to bed.
Chloe
Really "rolls eyes" Tell me why the scream, what's the gist? spill it
Claire
Chill "laughs"
I decided to open my Instagram..I saw a friend request,I clicked on it and guess who?
Claire
"Frowns" you're so annoying. yes it is
Chloe
sorry it was super obvious..you had a large smile "laughs"
Claire
"Rolls eyes" I'm off to do some chores and I'll stroll out. wanna join?
Chloe
I'll pass..I have plans
party plans
I start with the sweeping..then the dishes while humming to my songs.
I finished after a short while..I ate and headed to shower. I applied a little makeup,tied my hair into a ponytail.
I wore a brown sleeveless turtle neck and a short brown skirt with a black kimono. I headed out.
I strolled down the streets.. everywhere greatly decorated. "I'm hungry" my stomach rumbled. I enter a restaurant ordering a hamburger and a smoothie..I settled to eat. A familiar face approached me
Claire
Uhmm..."I stared weirdly"
"At this point I knew I fucked up"
Cole
I'll take that as a no 'smiles'
sorry for interrupting
Claire
"Gosh" No!! you may sit
I'm sorry for acting weirdly right now.
I was a bit shocked to see you.
Cole
Shocked to see me?
Anyway.. I'm sorry for startling you.
Claire
"blushes" What brings you here sir?
"I'm guessing my mouth has a different brain cause it blurts out nonsense
Cole
"chuckles" You're funny and cute
Well..I came to eat
Claire
"Cute...squeals" Sorry for that weird question
A woman, maybe in her fourties with short build takes his order and arrived with the dish almost immediately.
Cole
Would you like to stroll a bit?
Claire
Yeah sure.. I'll love to
We finished and left the restaurant
"We decided to stroll to a park nearby."
is this a date "squeals"
We enter the park.. and everyone seemed like a couple, holding hands..kissing
Awkward!
Cole
Thanks for strolling with me "smiling"
"laughs" this is a park for couples
I hope you don't feel awkward
we can leave if you want
Claire
No.. it's fine "smiles"
I love the view
We walk towards a bench and both sat on it. The atmosphere was getting cool.
Everyone seemed so clingy to their partners. it was as if all couples planned to go on date at this particular date and time.
We both sat in silence and enjoyed the view
Claire
So...
"We both said at the same time"
'Chuckles' you go first
Cole
"Chuckles" May I know about you?
Claire
I'm Claire.. I'm 20
I lived at Australia with my mum
until we moved to L.A
I guess that's all about me "smiles"
Cole
Cool
you're an Australian
I've been to Australia.
it was really fun.
We talked more about ourselves
Cole
I think it's time to go back
the sky is already dark
Cole
I'll drop you off..My car isn't far from us
We both got up and walked towards the car
Claire
A 2022 CADILLAC ESCALADE!!!
"I stare in awe"
"Can just a teaching job buy this"?
Claire
I love your car "squeals"
I've always loved ESCALADE
We rode in deafening silence but I kept stealing glances at him.
For the first time,I saw he's perfectly beautiful,his movie star hair..
Ohh he's flawless.
Claire
Thank you
I'm glad we met today
it was fun
Cole
I had fun too
Maybe next time we see.. I'll take you to my place and make my tasty coffee for you.
Claire
"What!!!"
"I feel this is moving too fast but I love it"
Sure.. I'll love it
"I find him staring longingly before ruffling my hair"
I come down and wave.. heading back to my dorm
Claire
"I open my room..my eyes scanned for Chloe"
Guess she isn't back
What a day! I love it
i curl up on the bed under the warm blankets as my lips curl into a smile as I sleep
