Break-Up

Chelsca throws herself on her soft bed. She glanced at her elbow, and the wound with the band-aid Lewey bought for him.

He's still not changing! Ugh! She wanted to scream. He is still annoying and a brat!

Chelsca picks up her straightener brush and combs her hair. The truth is, her hair is not actually this curl. Before she flew here, she went to someone she knew and asked to curl her hair and become look, nerd.

She also bought a super thick glass to look like she has eye problems. She sighed, watching her real look.

If she chose to go to a University like this, no doubt everyone would turn their head, and she wouldn't have a hard time fitting into this classy world. She heaves a sigh one more time.

"That's really a deep one," Nadia commented, her roommate.

She didn't notice her entering their bedroom. "Hey, I thought you would have a night shift till one o'clock?"

"Ah, my boss sent me earlier. Here, I bought a beer and some food!"

"Ugh, I have work tomorrow, then one subject in the afternoon."

"Come on! Just one!"

Nadia opens the beer can and gives it to her, and she wasn't able to refuse. She takes it and has a tiny sip. Her face twitches a little.

"Let's take a selfie!"

"No! Don't you dare! If you'll post it--"

"Lewey maybe saw it. . . Jeez!" Nadia rolls her eyes. "What's the use of coming here when you want to hide from someone?

Nadia was correct, Chelsca thought. She dares to come here but then, hiding her identity not to recognize by a particular person. However, she has a reason.

"What did Lewey do to you? Is he your ex-boyfriend?"

"What!? No way!"

"Then what? When is the last time you both see each other?"

"Hmm. . ." she takes another sip from her beer. "10 years ago, I guess? And he was 12," Chelsca took a handful of potato chips then put it all in her mouth.

"I guess, yeah. Besides, it happens twice."

"Then? Would he recognize you?" Nadia pouted.

She paused from sipping her beer. Nadia has a point.

"Well, whatever. It is not the only reason why I am doing this hiding thing. If no one could notice me, the better."

"Argh. Whatever if what runs inside your head, Lady Verough!"

"Hum. . ." she emptied the can. "That's all for me."

"What? No! You'll drink one more!" Nadia insisted.

"Huh? No, I told you I have work tomo--" she studied Nadia's expression, looks like there's behind her early off from work and inviting her to drink.

"There's something wrong, is it?"

Nadia began sobbing. "It's so lonely drinking alone and crying alone," she said between her tears.

"Tell me what happens?" The atmosphere is completely changing now.

"I saw him coming out of a hotel with another girl."

"Oh, maybe just they have business there?" she tried to comfort her.

"No. This is not the first time." Nadia continues crying and sharing with her. "I thought I could accept if I already confirmed it that he is leaving me."

"Don't tell me?"

"Yes. I waited for them to come out, and he admitted, and he broke up with me in front of that girl!"

She was stunned. "Did you went alone?" she can't believe her.

Nadia nodded, so Chelsca hugs her. "Aw, you are so brave. Then now, it's time to forget that a-hole! He doesn't deserve you!"

"Here--" Chelsca took the beer and opened them. "Let's finish them all, and tomorrow, let's start a brand-new day!" she raised the can, and Nadia does the same.

"Yeah! Tomorrow, I will forget him already!"

"Yeah!" They shouted as they could. The passers-by outside their room wonder what happened to them.

The next day, they woke up with a hangover and swore won't drink that much anymore. Chelsca and Nadia giggles while coming out from their Dormitory house.
