Chapter 5.
When I got back to Elle and I's dorm, she was asleep. I laughed silently. I'm surprised she didnt stay up for me. Maybe it had something to do with that we have finals in a very short 4 weeks. We've been worked to death.
My breath caught in my throat. In 4 weeks Elle and I will be graduating college.. These 4 years have gone by so fast, it was unreal. Our dreams will come true and..
Justin. Will he be graduating? I wasnt sure how long you have to be in college to be a teacher.
I shrugged. I'll ask him tomorrow. I threw my shoes in the corner and stripped to my shirt and panties. I fell into bed thinking about Justin..
"ALEX! ALEX ALEX ALEX!"
Thats what I woke to the next morning. I rubbed my eyes, dazed and surprised. Why Elle, why? It's only 8 am and we finally have 2 days off.
Towards the end of each semester, we get a couple days off a week. It was such a relief to have some stress off our shoulders.
"What?" I whined.
"TELL MEEEEE!" she trilled in my ear.
I sat up and looked at her. She was only wearing her eco shirt and her black and white striped panties.
"In 8 in the morning? Why?"
She sat on my bed and eyed me.
"C'mon Santiago, tell, tell, TEEELLLL," she exclaimed again.
I explained everything that happened last night. She was looking at me wide-eyed.
"Well, he's kind of an asshole actually Alex."
I looked at her. "My mom always told me, Always give people second chances Lexi, it way turn into something wonderful."
Elle shrugged.
I rolled my eyes at her and got up. I changed into a white crop top and a pair of shorts. I expected on staying inside all day.. Relax, study.
Just then my phone beeped. I picked it up.
From: Justin
Good morning beautiful. Want to do something today, love?
I smiled.
To: Justin
From: Alex
Good morning. Of course I do! :)
My stomach got butterflies in it. He really does like me! I thought about the mind blowing kiss we shared last night. A night he made unforegettable..
"Alex? Alex?" Elle interrupted my thoughts.
I looked at her immediatley.
"I asked you if you wanted to go walk around campus today or something?"
I opened my mouth to answer then closed it. Should I blow her off for Justin. I bit my lip.
"I was actually gonna go out with Justin.." I said slowly.
I saw her eyes get angry.
"Your gonna blow me off for him? What the fuck Alex?"
I looked down.
"I'm sorry Elle its just.."
"Dont make fucking excuses Alex! I'm sick of them! Thats all you ever do!"
I looked up suddenly angered.
"Well listen here Elle! I'm sorry that I want to go out with my boyfriend! This is what you do to me when Nick wants to take you out! How the fuck do you think I feel?" I yelled.
She looked at me, suddenly with a guilty look.
I was surprised at myself. I usually kept my feelings in but they just slipped out. It felt better with her knowing how I did feel though.
"I didnt know Alex.. I'm sorry.." she breathed.
I shook my head, slipped on my Converse, and ran to see if Justin was at our bench. To my relief, he was. A tear trickled down my cheek and I didnt know why.
"Alex, are you okay?" Justin said worriedly.
I nodded, but kept crying.
We sat there for awhile. He just held me until my tears turned into sniffles. When I was finally done, he kept holding me.
"What happened?" he asked softly.
I explained about Elle while he just held me on that bench and listened. It felt good to tell someone my problems and have them listen.
All of a sudden a girl from my classes came running towards me. "Alex! Its Elle! She's-" she broke off.
"What is it?"
"Dead," is what she muffled out.
