Chapter 5: Her true colors
Nah-nah-nah (in my head)
Nah-nah-nah (in my bed)
Nah-nah-nah (ayy-ayy)
Making beautiful mistakes
You did me wrong 'cause I let you
Usually, I like my situations beneficial
Doing something different, got me looking stupid (damn)
The only way I'm coming back to you is if you dream it, lucid (hmm)
Prove it, if you made a promise then keep it (keep it)
Why you wanna lie and then get mad? I don't believe it (boy, bye)
But really, I was doing just fine without ya
Looking fine, sipping wine, dancing on club couches (ah)
Baby, why you wanna lose me like you don't need me? (Like you don't need me)
Like I don't block you and you still try to reach me (still try to reach me)
How you figure out how to call me from the TV? (Huh?)
You running outta chances and this time I mean it (ah)
Yeah, bet you miss my love, all in your bed (bed)
Now you're stressing out, pulling your hair (hair)
Smelling your pillows and wishing I...
"Hey!", Ava yelled at whoever it was that removed her headphone at this part of the song. This was one of her best Maroon 5 songs and what's more, the craziest and best rapper she could ever think, Meghan Thee stallion featured in it. She always has this unrealistic expectations that she would meet her one day. She turned to the person only to see one of her course mates and friend too looking at her with those doe-like eyes.
"Daisy? What's up?"
"You've been too engrossed in your music that you didn't even notice the commotion".
Ava pulled off the headphones completely and looked around. Everyone was looking at her. She couldn't tell the look on those faces but she didn't like it one bit. She looked at Daisy.
"What's going on?"
"There's a transfer student".
Ava arched a brow. "So? "
"We saw her with Kyle".
"So? Why're you telling me?"
"It's because, you're the only girl we've ever seen Kyle with. It's disturbing to see him with someone else".
Ava looked around again. A strange feeling grazed through her mind.
"Daisy, Kyle isn't my boyfriend. We're besties. We're so close that it's confusing but we're not a thing".
"Oh...ok then".
Daisy left her desk and went to join her seatmate. Ava looked out of the window as many thoughts crossed her mind. It's been a long time since she ever thought about so many things. She thought of what Daisy had said. 'It's disturbing to see him with someone else'. It really was. But why?
The last lecture of the day ended for those in the arts department. Ava was packing up to meet with Kyle in front of the medical department building. Just then, she heard some students talking.
"What? Kyle Compton is taking that new bitch on a tour? It's already closing hours".
"I know right? I wonder what she has done to him to make him agree to such nonsense".
"This is gonna be a fun drama to watch", this was said especially for Ava to hear.
"Drama?"
"Yes. We'll finally get to see Ava Bateman's true colors".
"I know yeah. She's been the only girl beside him but now she's got a rival".
Ava ignored the rest of the talks and left for the medical department.
