"Shit."

Only one expletive slipped out of my mouth but many more were flying through my brain as I quickly stepped back into the hallway and shut the door, leaning back against it.

"Fuck. Dammit." I whispered to myself.

"Who was that?" My gaze flew up to see my studio mate Jen walking down the hall toward me, mixing some paint in a jar.

"No one, it's fine," I said, spinning around and locking the door.

Jen furrowed her eyebrows, and tilted her head to the side, "Didn't seem like no one, you literally slammed the door after a few seconds-,"

"It was no one!" I said loudly, pushing past her as I swiftly made my way down the hall and into my studio space.

"Okay!" Jen called after me, mocking my tone.

I grabbed my bag and keys and phone and took a deep breath.

"Dammit, Friar" I said quietly to myself, shaking my head before making my way out the back, trying my hardest not to be seen by a certain someone that had suddenly decided to reappear on my doorstep on a Tuesday afternoon.
