When Larissa opened her eyes the next morning her room was eerily quiet and dark. The face of the clock announced in bold, scarlet letters that it was ten past three PM. Noon had woken her and she'd missed all of her classes. Nicky's bed was neatly made on the other side of the room and the curtains were drawn, shielding her from both the light of the outside and the sight of any other person that may have been on the ground below. She felt more alone in that instant then she had since her mother died.
'Her mother'. There was a picture of her mother, with the same burnt cherry hair and stony gray eyes as her daughter, on Rissa's dresser and the girl stared at it for a long minute. Finally she put her feet on the floor and crossed the room to get it. Beside her mother in the photo sat Katrina, Larissa's old best friend. Both of who she'd lost on the same day, in the same car accident. It was times like that, that Rissa missed them more then anything, times when she needed someone to talk to, to tell the sort of things you can only tell your mother or best friend.
Kenneth Wu, had really done a number on that young girl, she was so upset even her bones hurt. Not only hurt and heart broken, but angry also. Furious at Ken for breaking crushing her the way he'd promised he never would and strangely enough, she was even mad at Adam. She blamed him partly, if he hadn't been such an atrocious boyfriend, she never would've hooked up with Ken to began with. In a round about way, it was just as much his fault. Larissa knew, all the late night crying and contemplating she'd done the night before made it clear.
When she'd broken up with Adam, she'd known it had to be done. He'd cheated on her for crying out loud! Not to mention, there had been someone there for her, someone to help her through it. Of course that someone had been Ken. However with Kenny, there seemed to be no necessity for them to part. They were happy together, good together, perfect for one another. And most of all, this time when she and her man separated, there was nobody to help her pick up the pieces.
By this time Larissa was starting to notice the rumbling in her stomach, she hadn't eaten since dinner time the day before, she was famished. She knew she'd missed lunch and that her only option for sustenance would be the vending machines, in the lobby of the main building, that meant leaving her room. She yanked open her draws and pulled out a pair of jeans and tank top, slipping them over her tense body. After coming her reddish black hair she secured it with an elastic and slid her feet into a pair of sandals If by chance she ran into Kenny, she'd make sure he didn't know she was hurting.
After dressing, she opened the door and was about to step into the hallway when she kicked over a bottle of Root Beer. It had been sitting the corridor, in front of her room, along with a package of twizzlers and a note 'Thought you may be hungry. Come find me if you want to talk- Adam' She smiled slightly and picked up the snack, walking it in and putting it on her bed.
The campus seemed so quiet that day, almost silent. At least it seemed that way to Larissa. No matter the amount of noise, she heard nothing, drowning out everything around her. She'd weaved her way from the girls' dorm to the quad with little effort and was now searching the face of the students gathered around, for that of her ex.
"Ken, isn't out here Freshmen, he's probably out looking for someone his own age." A snotty voice declared, carrying over the banter of the rest of the teens.
It was a voice Larissa knew well, one she sometimes heard in her sleep. The one belonging to Ronni Broadbent. Rissa bit down hard on her tongue and turned around. "That's good to know, however I'm not looking for Kenny, I'm actually trying to find, Adam."
Veronica rolled her golden eyes and fluffed her raven hair with a sigh. "You know, it's a real shame you can't just admit I won and get over it."
Larissa snorted. "You won? You didn't win anything Veronica, firstly Adam it's a trophy or a blue ribbon or something, she's a person. And second he didn't leave me for you, I broke up with him. If I had said the word, we'd still be together and you'd still be whoring around. I gave him to you, he wanted me, he always has."
"Oh drop dead, you little rat."
"Can't sorry, Heaven don't want be and Hell's afraid I'll take over. I guess I'm immortal and you're stuck with me.
"Hey, glad to see you left your room." They were interrupted by a male intonation followed by a friendly hand placed on Larissa's shoulder. She didn't have to turn around to know who it was, she could smell him.
"Hi Adam, you said to find you if I felt like talking. So I figured I'd come looking. Your wonderful girlfriend here was just telling me you'd be along shortly."
"Oh, great. What do you say we go for a walk? I'll catch up with you at dinner." Adam game Ronni a rather unaffectionate kiss on the cheek and led Larissa off toward one of the many outdoor sporting fields Eden Hall had, that way they could talk alone. As they disappeared around the corner of the building Veronica gave Larissa and evil glare. She knew as well as anyone Adam Banks still love Larissa Saunders and it terrified her.
