LUCIA'S POV
"Lucy!" a guy shouted when I was about to go inside the campus. When I turn my head to the man who called me, it was Shrek. One of my suitors on this campus.
I didn't entertain them because I have a child and I don't wanna do relationships right now. Especially I need to focus on my studies.
"Yes?" I simply ask.
"Are you free tonight?" he asks me. I raised my eyebrows because of his sudden question.
"No, I have things to do so I won't be able to join you. Sorry," I answered and went inside the campus without hearing his rants.
I'm a first-year college in Liberty Liurt University in Italy. It's was hard to become a good student when it comes to academics.
I need to maintain my grades and become a good student and a top student. Even if it was a hard and tiring path I did my best to work on it for the sake of my daughter's future.
I was about to went inside our classrooms when Peter blocked my way and give me a box of...
I don't know what's inside of it but I'm hesitant to accept it. Ending, I didn't accept it I just told him that it was nice to have a crush but I'm not yet into it. It's a good thing he understands it and he let me walk inside our room.
The class started and I was just still listening to our professor. He was explaining how to create a design of a house and how to match those interior and exterior designs.
"Class dismisses." our professor said. We were all happy because will have our break time.
I was in line in our canteen when I heard a familiar name said by my schoolmate.
"Super! he also got the highest grades in their first semester," Allie said.
"He's handsome also, I wonder if she had a girlfriend right now." Perlyn wondered while I was in their back still listening.
I want to leave the canteen but I was all starving and I need to maintain my health. Because I have a child who needs my breastfeeding.
"I think so, Dalia was always with him." a girl answered.
"You're right, Leo we're always found with her. I think they also lived in the same penthouse." Allie answered. I choked my milk because of what she just said. They look at me with curious eyes and shock.
"Lucia, you okay?" Darlene ask.
"Yea, yea... I'm fine it's just that the milk doesn't taste good." I lied. I said goodbye to them because I have to go to my next class.
After the class of engineering, I'll be having my last class and after that, I can go home.
I pick the class who have at least 3 classes in the morning and 1 class in the afternoon. By that, I can easily go home without getting late in the evening.
I heard them talk more about Leo and Dalia. I was a bit nervous and worried. I'm afraid that they might be here in Italy, they might be studying in the same school where I am right now.
I was late for our batch because I stop for almost a year. All of them were now graduating students and me? yeah, still have these struggles in life but still fighting.
I walk fast so I can still reach my class. I can't be late because our professor will give me a lot of works to do. I do also need to stop by the market because it was Ely's birthday. I ask Keanna if she can visit us here but she didn't reply yet.
The class went smoothly and every one of us was busy fixing our things. When I was by the hallway I still heard Leo's name, like why do they know Leo? and why do they keep saying Leo's name?
I regret asking about it when suddenly I heard the answers to my questions.
"Intramurals is about to begin by the end of January. I heard some universities will come to our campus to conduct their trial outs. They're still fixing each universities schedule for the start of the intramurals."
someone uttered, I turned my head to them and they look at me with curiosity.
"Lucia!" Anthony called me.
"Hmm??"
"You're not joining any sports? intramural's is coming." He asks.
"Ohh, I'm sorry I'm quite busy and I don't have time to do that." I lie again.
"Ohh, okay. So you can at least watch the game?" He asks said full of hope in his eyes. I don't want him to have hopes that I will watch his game but he was my friend so I kinda wanna exempt him.
"I'll try. I have to go, it's getting late also." I said and wave my hand to him. He also waved back and walked l away.
I Stop by the market to buy some groceries and went to the bakeshop to pick up the cake I ordered.
It was a simple cake written something like "Happy 1st Birthday Ely!" mom wants it to put Ely's full name but for me, it's too long to write so I decided to put Ely's nickname.
"Thank you, miss," I said while the girl was packing the cake. She just smiled and hand me the cake. I went home and it was already 5 pm.
Still have time to cook a few foods before our cousins and close friends went to our unit.
When I parked my car I notice that it was too dark in the parking lot.
So I need to be faster because sometimes you can't predict someone will stab you her and snatch your bags. When I reach the elevator I click the open and point to the 4th-floor units.
The hallway was quiet and perhaps I passed by some quite noisy units, I think they are having a party or something. I finally reach my unit and swipe the key card on it while I'm having a phone call.
I was calling Keanna if she wants to greet my daughter in video call but her phone is out of the coverage area. She might be in her class hours right now.
