Olivia woke up on Monday morning, dreading her 8:00am class with Dr. Cyrus Beene. He was an austere professor and expected the best from his students. Olivia loved the challenge and was determined to come out with no lower than an A in his class.
As much as she loved the class, she was tired from having a sleepless night. Her dreams were filled with an image of those blue eyes, and that brown curly hair, and that sexy smirk.
"Liv!' Abby Whelan, Olivia's roommate shouted. "It's 7:15, why are you still in bed?"
"Did you have to scream my name like that?" "It's been a long night, I'll just throw on some jeans and shirt and head to class"
"Well you're never late for class, I didn't expect this from you." Abby answered. "Are you ok?"
"Yea, I don't know, I just couldn't sleep" that was a lie. She knew why she couldn't sleep, but if she told Abby the truth she would never shut up about it.
"Ok, well rest up, remember we have debate team practice this afternoon" Olivia groaned at the thought of having to go to another debate. She honestly hated it, and her main reason for doing it, was because this is what her father wanted, and what her mother would want.
Since Olivia was a little girl, her father told her that she was destined to be a lawyer. Her father was a lawyer and worked at one of the best firms in Maryland. Her mother on the other hand, was a crisis manager and fixed the problems of the elite in D.C. before she passed away when Olivia was 12. After her mother died, Olivia felt she had no choice but to become a lawyer one day and eventually own her mother's firm.
Though Olivia loved her mother and at one point did want to become a lawyer, as she got older, things began to change. What she really wanted to do was go to med school and one day become a doctor. The problem was she felt she owed it to her mother to follow in her footsteps.
It also seemed her father had his mind set on what exactly he wanted Olivia to do. She didn't know how to let him know that being a lawyer was no longer a dream for her. She didn't have that passion for it like her father did. What she did have, was a passion for helping for others, just not through the same field as her parents.
Olivia's alarm went off, telling her she had 5 minutes before she needed to leave, removing her out of her thoughts.
"Ugh" she groaned. "This is going to be a long day" she thought.
Finally she left her dorm and headed to class, five minutes late. She probably could have had a little more time, had she not made her coffee.
On her way to class she saw a guy who she thought looked familiar. As she got closer her mind started telling her that it was the guy from Starbucks. Not only did she him, but a brunette holding his hand as well.
"Of course, I should have known he wasn't single" Olivia thought while making her way around the campus.
As Olivia was about to open the door to the building of her class she felt someone right behind her. Eventually the person got closer and tapped her shoulder. She turned around and met those piercing blue eyes that she dreamed about the night before.
"Olivia right?" Fitz asked. "Oh, hey" she replied, not really wanting to talk to him. She was annoyed, mainly because she realized he had a girlfriend and it was making her jealous. "I have no real reason to be jealous, he wasn't mine to begin with"
"I saw you walking and decided to come over and say hi" Fitz said with a small smile that made her heart warm.
"Well I'm late to my class, and I have Dr. Beene, so I'll see you around" Olivia told him. Fitz was a bit disappointed that he couldn't talk with her a bit more. He just wanted one full conversation with her, but it seemed like she was always on the go.
"OK, well I guess I'll see you around then Olivia." Olivia nodded and headed through the doors to her class.
"Come on Fitz! I need you to give me a ride to pick up a few things" Mellie exclaimed. Fitz had completely forgotten he needed to take Mellie to the store and that she was even with him. Seeing Olivia once again distracted him, and allowed him to forget everything.
"Oh… yea let's go Mel."
"Who was she Fitzgerald?"
"A girl I met in starbucks, who happens to be the same major as me."
"Hm, interesting" "Well let's go, I have things to do Fitz" Mellie could always be demanding, but Fitz did whatever she asked, always.
A/N: Thank you for the reviews! They mean so much to me and motivates me to write more. In this chapter, we're going to delve a little into Olivia's background. I promise more Olitz interaction in the next chapter! Sorry this is a bit short as well!
