-Ri-Rika? -
-Ugh what? Ryo? Wh-What are you doing here? –
-I well.. – I got cut off before I could even finished, she was just as surprised as I was. The amount of questions I wanted to ask her were going through my mind at a crazy speed. I could tell I wasn't the only one who wanted to have a nice talk, but knowing Rika well, I knew she would rather die than come sit next to me and have a chat.
- No, actually, I have to go. I'm quite late already. I... I uhm, sorry. I watched her rush out from the café in quite a hurry.
Out of all the places in the world we had to bump into each other again, Rika, here? Could this mean that fate has something ready for us that we don't know quite yet or maybe it's time we face what really happened between us.
-Look man, it's Rika Nonaka! She's smoking hot.-
Huh? I couldn't help but turn around as I was walking by a bookstore which had a bunch of magazines on display. Funny thing is that the girl on the cover was none other than Rika, just like this Dumbass said. I decided to play stupid and act like I didn't know her. How ironic right?
-Rika? Who is this chick?-
-Oh, hey man, everybody's been talking about her. She's the famous model from japan who decided to move to the U.S to finish her university studies. People say she received a full scholarship to the best university in this town. However, rumor has it the break up with her stupid ex-boyfriend forced her to move on and take this opportunity.-
-I guess I must be that stupid ex-boyfriend then...- I mumbled, as I walked away. I honestly hated watching all these guys go testosterone crazy over her with blind sexual desires. I knew who she was she was definitely more than a woman with a hot body and a gorgeous face. She was the same person who brought me to tears and at the same time who brought joy in my life.
I arrived at the dorm exhausted from the shitty day I had. The boys looked at me with a "let's go out" gestures, which I rejected. The last thing I needed was to have another crazy drunken night with them to most likely end up at another "friend's" house. As trashed as I was, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about her and the fact that I found her in New York City. Also, now she's apparently in every magazine cover. Funnily enough, I'm the rumored stupid-ass ex-boyfriend who was holding Rika back.
-Bleh, class starts tomorrow. I can only imagine how disgusting that will be.-
Next Day
-GET OUT OF MY WAY, GET OUT OF MY WAY. - Sebastian came flying down the hallway as he yelled.
-What the fu...-
-Sebastian? Is that you?-
-Yo, guys why the hell are you guys walking for? You don't wanna be late for the first day of class, now, do you?-
-Dude, we are 30 minutes early.-
-Oh shit, are we? Damn, Javier always keeping track aren't you? Ha! Funny, because I was just testing you.-
-Yeah, whatever..-
Before they tried to play smart, I decided to cut them off.
-Looks like we don't have any classes together.-
-Seriously, Ryo? What is this shit?- Javier says taking the paper away from my hands.
-Give me that fucking paper, Javier!-
-Let's see, let's see HA! Got it, wow man you have class with that hot Japanese girl.-
-What? How do you know this? - I stared in shock.
-Let's just say Sebastian lacks a life and he somehow knows all the cute girls' schedules.-
-Oh great, just my luck. - I cursed to myself.
I walked in the classroom, and saw that the only spot left was the one next to the girl who didn't even want to look at me. We were both placed in a very awkward position when the teacher made us do a stupid assignment with the person we were sitting next to.
-Hey Rika. - I couldn't even look at her straight in the eye, especially after all the shit that happened yesterday.
-I guess no matter how hard I try to avoid you, I just always seem to find you... near me.-
-Funny, because I came here for that reason.-
-Can we just do this stupid worksheet, and get out of here?-
-Can we not at least have a talk after school?-
-Maybe, I'll think about it. How about that?-
-We both know how that will end up- I said jokingly-
-Oh, Ryo, you don't wanna piss your ex-girlfriend off today.-
-Let me guess, it's one of those days?-
-I legit want to kill you.-
I took the assignment, and just wrote the words "I love you" and then I excused myself out of the classroom.
