MILLIE
Silence, Peace and Privacy. Those are the most important things to me,among all my friends,i've always been the quiet one,the known to be shy girl,plain and quiet,who always blends in the background,grabs zero attention because of her boring lifestyle. I don't mind all those things being said about me, people's opinions have never mattered to me so... whatever.
College life is addictive, people change when they go to college, even the most pure girls get tainted,sucked into the thick fog filled life of alcohol,parties and sex. My friends Lia and Mia the twins, have never had problems in blending in, sometimes I wonder how I became friends with them,we are just freshmen in college but they seem to fit in like they've been here in like for-ever.
"Millie,are you even listening to me?"
"Huh?" I look up at Mia who's hand is hiked up on her hip.
The twins are gorgeous,Mia is slim with white smooth skin, blond hair and crystal blue eyes and Lia is on the curvy side,same eye color,natural blond hair but prefers dying it red. The two are identical to the t,minus the red hair,you wouldn't know who's who unless you get to know them quite well,the only thing that would give them away is the slight body difference.
"See? I told you she's not here." Lia speaks while she files her perfect clean nails.
"I'm sorry,what were you saying?"
"I said there's a party going on tomorrow night,we should all go."
"I can't girls,I have to study."
"We all have to study Millie but we don't exaggerate like you do."
"Right..? Who studies like this in college." Mia agrees
"Me,I study like this in college."
"That doesn't mean you can't have fun Millie."
"We are going,like it or not. You can study today,we,can study today but tomorrow is night out night."
"Uh, Mia,there's no such thing as night out night." Lia points out
"Well now it's a thing Lia,don't spoil the line, besides,it doesn't matter,all that does is we get to take miss pure and innocent here out with us."
I frown
"Don't call me that."
"Yes,don't call her that."
"You call her virgin Mary Mia." Lia says with a bored expression
"Okay! Whatever,I said it and I'll say it again, I will have sex at my own time,when it's the right time and that is when I get married."
"Arghhh!" They groan at the same time
"Now, you said something about studying?" I smile up at them,they exchange looks and curse while they flop down on the sofa.
"Fine,let's get this over with." Lia says
"Millie,I'm proud of you,you did great on the last test."
"Thank you sir." I politely smile at the professor
"Logan." The professor says.
Heads start to turn.
"Where's Logan?"
"Not here." A student answers.
The professor takes off his spectacles and pinches his nose bridge with closed eyes,then he sighs and puts them back on.
"Jason?"
"Not here too."
"Alright,class dismissed."
He leaves and we all pack our books and walk out.
Mia sighs and Lia moves her book further down her face to get a good look at her sister
"You're doing it again Mia."
"Doing what?" She asks
"That creepy thing of smiling to yourself and whispering."
"It's not creepy,it's love."
"Love?" Lia scoffs "Mia,you barely know the guy."
"I know enough."
"Yeah like? He's sexy,hot and famous?"
"He likes his coffee black,no sugar and takes it four times a day."
"Mia." Lia leans forward "how do you know that? Have you been stalking him?"
"Not stalking sis,it's called interested I,N,T,E-"
"Of course I know how to spell interested,but still,you know nothing personal about him,his family or background."
"I do know about his family and background." Mia frowns at Lia
I ignore their bickering because I'm used to it already,it's kind of their own way of bonding I think. Weird but it makes sense somehow,by the way,I see nothing wrong with Mia falling in love,we have no right to judge anyway,what if this guy is a good g-
"Oh the fact that his family is mafia and he's a mafia prince?"
I choke on my saliva and cough uncontrollably, a hand pats my back and another hands me a glass of water. I take a sip and breath in slowly
"What....what did you just say?"
I look up at Lia with wide shocked eyes.
"About family?"
"No, about the guy Mia is in love with being-being a-a.."
"Oh! Yes, about him being a mafia prince?"
I gasp
"Mia! A maf- a crime prince!? I whisper yell."
"Mhmm." Lia hums
"Lia,you don't need to be so forward about it,you're freaking Millie out. By the way,they are just rumors you know."
"Oh please,you and I both know they aren't just rumors." She pouts out her lips.
"Mia, you know I love you right?"
"I know where this is going." She folds her hands over her chest and rolls her eyes.
The twins are crazy and wild,but between the two,Mia is the most craziest.
"You deserve love so so much,but a mafia prince? Mm mm, you deserve better than a criminal and murderer."
"He's not a murderer you guys, whether the rumors are true or not,I still feel like he was meant for me,I like him and I'll accept him the way he is,good and bad."
"You know dad won't approve such a guy right?"
"Oh,there it is, daddies perfect girl."
The room goes silent. I jump in to loosen the tension
"Mia,this is not your last chance at love,you can still find someone el-"
"Okay,time out." She frowns "I don't tell you guys who to associate with,I don't tell you who can break your virginity or you who to fuck every Friday."
Silence again. Lia opens and closes her mouth,not knowing what to say.
"Mia.." I say softly "we just want you to be safe,we want to protect you."
"Well thanks very much,i'm a big girl,I can take care of myself."
Then she walks out of the dorm. I rub Lia's back and lean my head against hers.
"Don't worry, she'll come around."
"We are just concerned,we didn't mean to upset her,we just want to protect her right?"
"Yes,we did nothing wrong." I assure her
Mia has been avoiding us, It's been 22hrs since she last spoke to us,she's locked herself up in her dorm and hasn't let anyone in, including Silver her roommate who is currently seated on my bed with a furious expression.
I look at Lia for help,she sighs and takes a seat next to Silver trying to have a conversation. I leave the room and go to Mia's,as expected,the door is still locked from the inside.
"Mia?" I knock twice but receive silence in return.
"Mia come on, we're sorry okay? We didn't mean to upset you."
Silence.
"Mia come on." I knock again
"Go away." She shouts back
"No,I'm not going away, we're sorry and we miss you,it's not the same without you out here so please come out."
"Pretty please?" I beg.
I hear footsteps and sigh.
"Promise you won't shame my feelings again? You won't talk bad about my potential future relationship."
"Okay fine,we won't talk about it but that doesn't mean we're okay with it, we'll let you decide though."
There's silence on the other side for a few minutes,then the doorknob turns and the door open.
"We missed you." I pout
"Me too." she smiles.
Silver peaks her head and sees the door open,she rushes out of my and Lia's room to hers and Mia's.
"Finally." She squeezes her way in and curses in spanish.
I smile,Silver is a cool chick,but she's not in our group,she has her own friends too.
"I'm sorry for what I said earlier." Mia apologizes to both of us
"It's okay Mia,it's the past now." Lia smiles faintly
"But no more using secrets as weapons against each other." I scold
"Agreed." She says
"Party tonight?" Lia runs her palms together,i silently hope for a no from Mia since she was mad but it doesn't happen.
"Let's do it."
Oh please! I groan.
Lia grabs my hand and pulls me to our room. It's going to be a long night.
