Chapter 6

"Today my forest is dark. The trees are sad and all the butterflies have broken wings."

💔💔💔💔

Friday was a day everyone always look forward to so they can attend weekends parties and get wasted. Most of the girls would gather themselves and talk about what to wear and how to shop for the weekend. I walked past some girls as they were all talking about a birthday party. It wasn't the fact that they all gathered and talked about whatsoever that irritates me, it's the fact that some of them were probably having class at that moment but chose gossips over education. Not my business thou.

It was time for literature class I sat at the back and I never looked up, and that's what I was intending to do throughout the class.

After few hours of lectures, I left the class immediately, thinking I have finally escaped it. But I felt a grip on my wrist and when I turned to see who it was, I saw Alexandra . I guess she is never giving up.

"We need to talk right now!" She said pulling my hand towards a direction I wasn' familiar with.

"Where are we going?"

"To hell! Just shut the fuck off and follow me" she said while I rolled my eyes at her and hissed. Then we made a full stop at a place that looks like a garden?

"Why have you been avoiding me?" She demanded.

" Nothing," I said with no emotion.

"Really? You've been avoiding me, Is there anything you are not telling me?"

"Fine! I slept with your boyfriend and I never knew he is yours, cause he never told me he is screwing you"

"What the fuck! "

"I'm sorry though"

"I knew that bastard has been cheating on me "

"And you never broke up with him, that's pathetic"

"Just shut up!"

" it not my fault your boyfriend is a hair headed whore"

" What am I gonna do?"

"Break up with him cause he doesn't deserve your time."

"I hate him so much!" She said as she cries

I came closer to her and wipe her tears, rubbing her back to comfort her.

The only thing that made me happy at that moment, was that she finally realizes who Austin really is and how foolish he is. Again she brought me to a place that gives me more life than life have offered me, the garden.

I walked her out of the garden but she took another direction while I went away.Immediately I turned to leave, Mr Frankie stopped me on the way. Talking to him at that very moment makes me piss, I wasn't ready for any questioning. It was as if I was escaping from one trap to get into another trap.

"Running away from me is just like you running away from your shadow," he snorted.

There is something really strange about what he said, but I let it go.

"And what is that suppose to mean Mr Frankie"

"It simply means you can't run away from me," he said with a smirk.

"Watch me !" I said as I left him but he wasted no time to pull me back.

"Let me go! you're hurting me" I said angrily.

"Okay, but promise me you won't walk away and hear me out" he asked

"Start talking"

"I'm sorry about the other day at my apartment, I didn't mean to hurt you in any way. I was just curious to know what happened to you"

"It okay, can I go now?"

"Let me make it up to you?"

"Thanks but no thanks, you don't need to I'm good"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm damn! Sure, I need to go now bye!"

I left immediately without letting him say another word.

My stomach started grumbling again, sign of hunger. I ate two slice of sandwich during lunch so I had no clue on why I'm still hungry. On my way home, I branched a local restaurant and ordered for hamburger and milkshake. I waited patiently to get my order before leaving. When I got to my dorm, I met the door open and I just thought it was Jenny. But someone else was in the room, comfortably sitting on Jenny's bed with his leg crossed and a cigarette hanged between his lips. For Christ sake the whole place was full of smoke.

"What are you doing here and who the hell are you?" I tried as much as possible to be patient and not to be rude.

"I'm Jenny's friend I'm here to see her"

"How the hell do you have the key to our room" at this point, my stomach started hurting.

"She gave me the key to her room,obviously" he said with a nonchalant attitude.

"You should have just called her and please smoking is not allowed here"

"Oh sorry about that" he threw it on the carpet and stepped on it, creating a hole on my beautiful carpet. I just rolled my eyes at him and went to the bathroom to shower and change since there was a stranger in the room

I turned on my laptop to watch Netflix and also munch on my hamburger and milkshake and ignore the uninvited guest. The guy had a call and decided to leave the room horridly to answer the call. I also tried calling Jenny but she won't pick the call seems like she was ignoring my calls. So I sent a text message to her telling her a stranger was in our dorm looking for her. Still no answer. At that point, I just gave up.

When Jenny came back, I confronted her and asked her why the hell will she give a guy I'm not aware of to have her a key to our room. How pathetic is that!

"I don't think that's your business Grace.I can invite who the hell I want to this room without your permission and there is absolutely nothing you can do to change that" she said pointing a finger to my face.

"Listen to me clearly Jenny, we both have an equal right in this place so you should learn to inform me before doing things in this room or I'm reporting you to the school"

"Whatever!"

"Are we clear here? We better be or I still stand on my words"

She just walked out of the room leaving me to myself.
