VI. My reunion with Jacob

During the trip to the campus I couldn't help but shed a tear or two of nostalgia, but it was easy to come to my senses because something told me that somehow everything would be fine, that I should move forward.    

I left home at about one and five in the afternoon after saying goodbye to those who have been my best company throughout these years and arrived at the campus at one and thirty-five in the afternoon since by that time a great commotion had been formed by the arrival of the first year students in the middle of the avenue, along with the seniors who were waiting for them to welcome them and in more help them locate them. 

The entrance was full of cars both entering and leaving that was complete madness.    

In general, new students are usually divided by areas of training, so it is sometimes difficult for students to live with those from other areas outside of which they study. 

Even so, between them they are usually a little isolated, so I, as I am very cautious, had confirmed in advance the sleeping area to which I would be assigned to leave my vehicle nearby and thus not have to leave it in the middle of the commotion.   

I drove in the street parked my car not very well I saw the parking lot, from my seat once I stopped the march observed for a few seconds the nearby buildings to which I would stay, I took a deep breath, I stretched a little and after taking my bag which I had left in the passenger seat when leaving home, I got ready to lock myself placing the alarm in turn starting after this to walk in the direction of the central area.   

I had already traveled a few meters when I felt out of nowhere a hand approaching the lower part of my back, I didn't think much imagine the worst so using a maneuver with which I would knock down whoever it was that was touching me attack such an intruder mercilessly the truth was my surprise when I saw the face of that person.   

 " Jacob... "i screamed surprised " by the heavens I almost killed you.   

I know that the blow that was stamped was strong, but I hide it behind a laugh of a dry and panting sound, as I exclaimed.   

"I forgot you're always on the alert, Hope. "   

I said while I still remained scared that I had caused him perhaps some harm.  

"Well, you better remember, the next time I do it seriously I may end up hurting you severely, fool. "   

 "Yes, Captain. "   

I took him by the hands, helped him to get up and I couldn't help but feel a tingling in my body, the man who was touching me was greatly attracting my attention, the one who made my body definitely tense just by flirting with me.   

Jacob was no longer a child, he had become quite a heartthrob, the fact is that he was older than me by exactly one year, so he already had a year of stay on campus which made him, so to speak, my authorized guide for the first few days until I got used to walking alone around the area and I would certainly take advantage of those moments when I found myself in his company.

Earlier months ago I had come with him and he had shown me some of the parts that make up the entire immense university area, so that on my arrival I would not feel so alien for the same fearful, he is a student of the Pedagogy area that is not far from my area, his charisma and sweetness made him perfect for that work merely as an educator.   

Immediately after getting up, quickly separate my hands from yours and ask.    

"It hurts you something, I really didn't hurt you. "   

Jacob knows it's part of my weakness so sometimes he just avoids telling me when he feels bad to which I just exclaim.  

"Do not neglect. "   

Before me he showed that silly smile again that he does every time I knocked him down when we used to train pretending to finally surrender so after his fall I knew at what exact point he had hit and I couldn't help but bother him a little about it in view of his denial.   

With a super face, I approached him and without him realizing it, my right hand throws a slight fist with the index finger raised near his left side, right where he had hit so bumping him without warning I throw a scream.   

Instantly in response to that he moved away from my side, rubbing his side and although it was not due to sincerity it was impossible for me not to laugh out loud. 

So after winning the laugh I covered my mouth with both hands to try to prevent such a sound from coming out of me in a thunderous way while I slouched a little and my eyes began to emanate some tears product of the same jocularity. 

In view of this I closed my eyes to force myself to calm down and relax, I straightened my posture, adjusted my clothes a little while little by little I was between opening my eyelids to see Jacob's face.   

Jacob was standing in front of me with his eyes fixed, his intention to take revenge for my mischief was still far away, while a malicious smile was framed in his mouth.   

I swallowed dry not very well I saw it, I ran out as fast as I could, but tremendous mistake he also reacted and managed to catch me shot of my ears in pursuit of revenge so all the way to the confirmation area we were both bothering each other, the truth was that we didn't care that people looked at us, we just enjoyed the moment and our company.  

Without warning, my mind clicked wondering how it was possible that Jacob had presented himself to precisely that place if I was aware that I had not communicated it to him, so do not hesitate to interrogate him.   

"How did you know I was coming all the way to the dorm area. "   

Jacob exclaimed.          

"A little bird told me so. " 

"A little bird, surely you are not consuming strange things. "   

He took a deep breath, placed his left hand in front of his eyes accommodating the thumb and middle finger on each side of the forehead and commented.  

"Eh no Hope, how reckless you are sometimes. "   

I can't deny it sometimes I tend to be a little clueless and you could say incoherent, but that only happens to me when I have him close, because Jacob has a I don't know what alocates my thoughts.   

I commented again.  

"Then how did you know. "   

A very mocking laugh came out of Jacob's mouth and he said.   

"I just knew. "  

That answer didn't quite convince me so I said, while turning my head away.   

"There are two options, the first is that you have talked to my grandparents and the second is that you are a decaying witch doctor experiment. "  

I knew that after saying that Jacob would react and I immediately get it he said.   

"What did you say? "   

I froze, I moved my head several times to the sides in the form of denial, until finally I could say...   

"Oh! nothing, nothing " looking at him I stepped aside and before him, I placed my hands at the level of my chest while shaking them slightly in order to reaffirm my denial at the same time that my face turned into a slight red color product of shame.   

So together we walked the last remaining way to the registration area and there I was in front of those huge buildings that for four years would be part of my house of study and coexistence.   

I asked Jacob once we arrived to stay in a corner in a nearby area where there are some benches until I could get out of the car and so I wouldn't have to be uncomfortable during my wait. 

Immediately I arrived I looked for the line that corresponded to the career I had chosen in the Area of Sciences and Humanities specifically Psychology and placing myself in position I prepared to wait my turn.   

While I was waiting, I took my phone out of my bag and unlocking it, I checked some of the applications, I could swear that I was like this for at least five minutes.    

As I felt that I was already close to the main table, I got ready to block my mobile and proceeded to put it in my wallet, I placed myself right in the line, then I looked straight ahead, so I realized that there were only some six people in front of me, I kept watching and after seeing the table next to the senior students who were there, my eyes stumbled on some which disturbed me.   

I couldn't believe it the feeling of uneasiness had appeared again and this time accompanied by a face already familiar to me, it was Ronan the fucking asshole who had damaged my date with Jacob there he was sitting looking at me from time to time, I saw him and immediately clenched my teeth and both fists, but I restrained myself I didn't want to make a chow on my first day of arrival on campus.   

The people passed before me and finally my turn came, not very soon I approached the table one of the girls who was there asked me for my ID to confirm my information, I search the list and after finding my name asked his other colleagues to give him the folder containing my schedule, the dormitory area where I would stay next to key that gives access to what would be my room. 

The one who followed also indicated to me the fact that I should make my signature by pointing with her finger the line duly placed for it and I did so.   

Ronan was in charge of placing the seals to each delivered folder and after sealing mine he was about to make the gesture of handing it over to me, for a moment I thought relieved that maybe he would not recognize me and begged the heavens that it would be so, in my mind I crossed my fingers hoping that nothing would happen, but when he was about to finally place the folder in my hands, my eyes rested on that ford, and out of nowhere I heard such a heavy and irritating voice say.   

"Hello little sweetheart, you forgot about me so quickly. " 

Yes, it definitely came from him, it was impossible not to remember that voice so that was enough to make me see that that year would not be very quiet that we say.
