3 acting skills

Weeks passed and Julia got closer to Gavin. They have the same classes on 4 subjects so they are most likely to see each other. Gavin even introduced Julia to his friends. Julia also found out that Gavin and Julia know each other. 

Since that day, when Julia caught Stacey with Tim, she never said a thing. She acted like nothing happened. Like she saw nothing. She still talk to Stacey, and Stacey on the other hand, gives Julia comfort which seem to be just an act. What for? Why don't you just be real with me? Julia thought.

It was half past 9, they still have their last subject which is Foundations of Medicine. Julia sat with Stacey and Gavin with his friend Rod sat behind them.

Julia is just glad that she's distracted by some people. Because if not, her depression would eat her. She loved Tim that much. And she's still suffering from the after shock of their break up. Not only it was too sudden, but also because of the reason, and she thought if there's more to the story. 

Julia is dozing off again, thinking about those stuffs. She got back to her senses when Stacey talked.

"Julia, are you okay?" Stacey asked.

Do you think I'm okay? You've been asking me that for weeks. Why bother ask me when you know I'm not, and when you know you're the reason behind it. Julia responded but thats only on the back of her mind.

"Oh, I'm okay Stacey." she gave her a half smile. 

The two talked about their requirements on their subjects, although Julia wants to vomit so bad because of the plasticity Stacey is showing her. She couldn't bare exchanging laugh with this woman. Such a good actress, she thought.

After a few minutes, Stacey stopped from talking and pointed her lips at the back of Julia.

"Oh there's Tim." Stacey said.

Julia looked back to find Tim coming on their place.

She clears her throat.

"Hey." Tim greeted, Julia slightly confused on whom is he greeting. Me or Stacey? She thought.

They haven't talk since that day at Cinabbon. She misses him so much. She wants him back but her insides also says to hate him and never accept him again. Enough being an idiot.

"You seem to be doing good Jules." Tim added and Julia got back to her senses.

"Yeah, why wouldnt I?" Julia managed to answer without looking at him.

"Hey Stacey. How have you been?" Tim asked Stacey.

Julia couldnt believe her ears. For fucks sake? Why are they pulling an act? Im starting to be impressed, she thought to her self. Asking her how she's been when she's with her every day? Maybe they are sleeping together. 

Julia had slept with Tim, but they never had sex. And the thought of Tim sleeping with Stacey fucked her up. As Tim and Stacey seems to be enjoying their conversation or so called acting, Julia stood up coz she couldnt bare to listen to them anymore.

"I'll leave you two here." She said, making a fake smile and made her way to Gavin and Rod.

They are really something. She thought to herself.

She sat next to Gavin, crossing her arms and legs, slightly feeling annoyed.

"Are you okay?" Gavin started.

"I. Am."  she answered shortly

"Not." Rod added

Julia gave Rod a tiger look and Rod held his hands up telling he give up.

"It's almost time, wanna go home? I'll drop you off." Gavin offered

since Julia feels exhausted, she agreed. The three stood up and exited the room. Just as they were half way on the door, Tim kind of shouted,

"You look good with Gavin Jules." 

Julia looked at Tim and he gave her a wink.

What was that about? Linking me to other guys now huh? She thought. 

She looked away and continued to walk with the guys.

"Tim is so pathetic." Rod stated.

"He is." Julia said agreeing to Rod and the three both laugh on their way to the parking lot.

Julia felt tired and fell asleep on the long drive.

"Wake up Julia, were here." the sound of Gavin woke her up. The car is parked outside he house. She thanked the two and slipped out of Gavin's car.
