Zenit

Chapter 3

My homeroom teacher showed me in and I settled in. I met three other college students unpacking, just one out of them is as new as I am. We didn't really say much to each other, just introduction of names, I'm Bradley, Lauren, Jane, Primrose and Zenit are their names. I slept and thought of the new faces I'd meet the next day.

The next day at class, I noticed a guy looking at my direction and this began to make me feel uncomfortable. I tried hard to avoid him and focus but a time came whereby I was told to take a record of available students. He boldly walked up to me and asked if I don't mind him talking with me. What option do i have, "Since he came calmly, I gave him an audience, at least I've been longing to make new friends, this might actually be one", I reasoned.

We exchanged numbers and we became friends because I discovered he schooled in Texas, I love Texas.

We got so close that there's barely anything we can do without having each other around. Then Zenit became our friends and I was cool with it although Adim wasn't at first. Time passed and I talked Adim into letting his guards down and give Zenith an opportunity. After a well, I discovered their closeness is getting to the extreme and it's noticeable and most people now see me as the cheat who doesn't want their college love to work. At this point I regretted letting Adim put his guards down. This didn't stop our friendship although painful. This is because Adim stopped calling me as much time as he does when we first met during holiday as usual. This made the holiday boring and lonely. Contrary to how I thought it will look like. Sleepless night, sounds of engines from cars, chirping sound of birds, the sunny and rainy weather made the days experiences countable. You know what I mean? I got so tired and called Adim but he wouldn't pick up, called severely but it seems Adim has forgotten me

Now, the holiday is over. It's time for the lover birds to fly. Pictures of me were posted everywhere and I wondered why. Then, Zenit and her group of friends walked up to me and threatened they will be worse if I don't leave Adim.

I was called by the school panel and accused for engaging in unlawful college practises. I was absolutely confused. I tried opening up what I know and stand for my innocence but my insociable character spoke against me. Zenit was a princess to the college queen. Gosh! what have I gotten myself into?
