"Where the hell did you sleep?" That was the first question that came out of Della's mouth the moment i entered our room.
"I went to my parents' house, my mom had called for me."I lied to her
"Oh, i have classes from now upto 1:00 pm, maybe i will meet you at lunch."Della said to me before leaving the room.
I prepared myself in a hurry since i had classes to attend. Taking everything i needed for my classes, i headed to the lecture hall, i was one of the earliest students to arrive in the hall so i took the front seat so that at least i could be attentive since i knew very well that sitting behind meant zero concertration and today's lecture was so important.
The lecture had picked Anna and the French kiss by Steve Perkins as the novel of the year, it was going to be examined. I opened my copy of the novel just on time as the Lecturer entered the hall.
"Hello students, so as said today we are going to discuss the novel Anna and the French kiss. So who can say what that novel is about." The lecture Mr Gareth asked. But looking behind me, nobody had raised a single hand to answer him, that meant only one thing he was going to pick at random.
"Hey miss Ariel, since you are sitting closer to me, can you atleast tell the class what the novel is about." He asked me.
"Well, the novel is about Annabel Lee Oliphant from Atlanta who is forced to attend School of Americans in Paris . Anna did not want to attend SOAP since it meant her moving away from home, and staying away from her Best friend Bridget and her boyfriend Toph. But that changes when Anna meets St Clairs, because he makes her feel less of an American in Paris." Thats all i said since i had only read the synopsis of the book.
"Nice try miss Ariel." Prof Gareth said. And that's all i learnt for the three hour lecture before my mind started drifting to Jason Thorne. The kiss is something am never going to forget, i think i will keep fantasizing about the kiss. I don't know if i will ever meet Jason again, but chances are, i can meet him at the club but the question is will he kiss me again. It is still Monday but you can't believe me if i say am looking forward for weekend already, because weekend means going to the club which meant seeing Jason Thorne again.As for now all i ever wish is that,my i work during week days .
"That's the end for today, lets meet here tomorrow for more."That statement from Prof Gareth brought me from my fantasy world, like did i zone out the whole three hours, i just can't believe how dumb am becoming because of Jason Thorne. Getting out of the class, i headed to the cafeteria to have lunch, Della was already there, so after taking my orders of rice and beef, i joined her at her table,but today there were two more people at her table. And both of them were boys.
"Hi everyone." I said pulling a chair for myself.
"Hi."They both replied in unison.
"So lemme introduce you guys."Della said looking at me then to the boys.
She continued,"this is Ariel my friend and roommate, Ariel meet my friends Jayden and Liam."
"Nice to meet you Ariel." Liam said.
"Same here." I replied.
After lunch was over, Della and i went to our room as the two boys, Jayden and Liam went their own way. Since i had assignments which were due in few days, i decided to go to the library to do the assignments since i needed to refer to books. I bid Della goodbye and headed to the Library. The Library was the only quiet place where you could do your studies since it is always less scattered as many student never visit there.
I did the assignment, and did some studies too. By six in the evening, i was already done with everything and went back to my dorm room. Preparing dinner was the next thing after reaching my dorm room. I ate my kimchi as watched The Notebook in my laptop, Della was not in room and from something unusual since she never leaves the room unless she going to classes or going to the movies, and today being a Monday i can't expect that she had gone to the movies.
Watching for sometimes, i felt sleepy and closed my laptop, i climbed the bed pulling the covers before falling asleep.
"Beep beep beep" that's the sound that woke me up, i cannot believe it is already morning but yes it is. Getting out of the bed, i looked across the room to Della's bed only to be met by an empty bed, so she never came last night, i wonder where she slept, but remembering her life was not my business, i went on with my morning routine, i had a busy day ahead of me, since i had classes to attend and also i had to apply and send my internship applications today since i was planning on attending internship after the school year is over.
Today's classes i tried as hard as i could to focus without zoning out, and yes i tried. After classes i focused on my internship application on which i applied to two publishing companies, yes i wanted to be a publisher,editor and an author too.
The week went so fast and soon it was Friday, and a Friday to me meant going for movies, today i was going to convince Della to accompany me to the movies. I found Della already in our room but the state she was, was clear she was going somewhere but anyway i had to ask to confirm.
"Hey Della, seems like you are having a date." I started
"Not really, but have just been invited by both Liam and Jayden so am going."She replied.
"But its a date, i mean a dinner date with two guys." I teased her.
"Maybe, You can join me if you want."She added.
"Thanks for the invite, but i have plans, i will join you next time."I answered her.
"Sure." With that, Della picked her purse as she left the room
That meant i was going to the movies alone, but anyway am used to going alone. So today i was going for a horror movie. Yes i kind like them but sometimes they seem very scary that even boys do left in the middle of the movie because the movies was too scary but i always stay till it ends no matter how scary it is..
