"You could drive me to the airport."
I shook my head. "I don't know what time they're coming over."
He gave an irritated sigh as he packed the last of his bags.
"Promise winter break then?"
"We'll see."
He set his bags down and raised an eyebrow.
"C'mon Rey. Three weeks full of activities? Doubt it."
I smiled at him. "Wouldn't your parents mind with you bringing me?"
He bit his lip in contemplation before looking back at me. "You know I can take whatever I want."
A slight tremor ran through me before he leaned himself down to me and brushed his lips on mine.
I heard a knock on the door but before I could turn to it, Kylo grabbed my face and kissed me hard.
He pulled away, gasping and reaching for his bag.
"Alright, I'm leaving."
Kylo went to the door and opened it, sucking in a breath.
Finn and Poe were waiting to let be in.
"Excuse me," Kylo mumbled. He squeezed by them before really leaving.
I couldn't avoid the states I got once we made sure he was out of sight.
"He's your roommate?!"
"I thought you two met before."
"No. But I do know him. He worked with Phasma to help me get here."
Kylo must've seen him leaving that night.
We were all silent. Even Poe had nothing to say.
"Poe, why're so quiet?"
He rubbed his face with one hand. "I had him in one class last year. Total asshole."
I felt like we were talking of a different person. Kylo was mean but in a joking way.
"Guys, he's not some monster."
They raised an eyebrow at me.
"Twenty credits say they are screwing," Poe held up a fist and Finn pounded it.
I stood up in frustration. "How dare you two! We're just friends."
I couldn't give these two the satisfaction of their fantasies.
"Well he is possibly the worst guy out there. I mean I can understand if you hated him," Finn said smugly.
I was so done. "You can leave if that's what you think of him. You don't know him."
"And you do? Rey he just wants to get into your pants."
I turned away from him, wiping away tears.
A chair was pushed back. "Don't tell me you're defending him Rey. You don't know what I've seen."
I kept my mouth shut.
"Fine. I won't you keep you two from each other."
I spun around and ran after him. "Finn, don't go."
He turned around before he made it downstairs.
"Look, I've never been fully honest with you. I was new to D'qar High when you were. I just came a few months earlier. But Rey, I ran so far away from the First Order district and found you."
Why was he telling me this now? If he's been hiding from me then why should I trust him?
I couldn't think of anything to say as I looked down at him from the top step.
"Don't go," I repeated.
He shook his head. "Goodbye Rey."
Poe patted my shoulder.
"I'll go after him."
He walked past me, going out of sight after Finn.
I dropped to my knees, letting silent tears fall just like my friendship.
The campus was open through the week. It was rumored that the highly praised professor would be returning next semester. I didn't know who it was and most likely wouldn't be my teacher.
Finn did come back but only for a short time. The silence broke him so he left again with Poe.
The school was quiet since everyone was home. I had no family so I wandered.
When I was walking down the hall of the new science building, I saw a door was wide open. That was different. It was a Psychology class.
I peeped my head in and there was a man in the very corner, sitting at his desk.
I took a few steps closer to see his face. Why was he here?
He looked up when he heard me come in.
His eyes were darkened from age and his beard was gray from time.
"Who are you?"
He cleared his throat and stepped around his desk. "Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
I guess this was his class.
"Well?"
I blinked a few times before answering. "Oh uh my name is Rey."
"Rey huh? You one of my students?"
"Uh no sir. Not yet anyway."
He chuckled. "What a spritely one you are. Professor Skywalker."
He bowed his head at me then headed for the door.
"You're the one everyone's been looking for?"
"No one is good at finding then."
"Why did you leave?"
"One of my students."
"Who?"
He stopped. "Rey. Maybe you should wait until you're in my class to ask questions."
I was being a bit nosy. "Maybe you could teach me a few things before I take your class. This is Psychology 102, right? I could skip 101 and come in here."
He sighed. "It's not that easy."
I ran up to him. "Please I won't let you down."
He raised an eyebrow at me. "The last time I heard that was... Never mind. Fine I'll do it."
The biggest grin spread on my face. I could graduate faster at this point. "Thank you!"
Okay I know college doesn't work like that. It's fiction guys.
