OLIVIA'S POV
I was wiping down the bar counter ready to set things up for closing when Landon walked in. We hadn't seen each other after last week's Thanksgiving dinner at the house where he had been invited, but I wasn't expecting him to visit me at The Barnes today.
"Hey, what brings you here?" I asked, making my way over to him.
"Hey, kiddo!” He had begun calling me that recently. I didn't know how I felt about it, but I was becoming used to it. I believe he was trying to form a paternal bond with me, and honestly, it wasn't that bad.
“I was in the neighborhood and thought I should drop by," he said, his deep voice carried across the room as he stepped towards me

OLIVIA'S POV“So, I need a Mojo, extra lime.”I watched from the corner as Dave mixed the drinks.

DANTE'S POVI stepped out of the car while Olivia was getting out her seat belt and opened the door for her.“Here you go, milady.” I bowed, as she stepped down.She came down but the usual jabbing at my heart did not come.I looked up and saw the glint in her eyes as she admired the architectural masterpiece that was Wexford University.“Wow!” She exclaimed.I looked around but what got me smiling was the buzz of young people, every one with their cliques —I apologize for the misunderstanding! Here are some common social classes or groups found in college, based on stereotypes and

OLIVIA'S POVI hummed along with song blasting from my headphones, blocking out everyone as I sat in the cafeteria…alone because Dante who had asked me to meet him up was being delayed at baseball practice.The song was a new indie song I had found online and it was really good. It was a brief respite and escape from the world, so as not to feel the plague of not belonging in Wexford. I wouldn't say I was an outcast…yet. I just believed I hadn't found the group of people I could vibe with. This was not how I had expected my freshman year to be like though. I expected that I'd make friends easily as I did in Mexico. It had been a struggle here to connect with anyone or make friends. My standards were too high apparently. I was looking for Alicia in everyone.

SOPHIA'S POVThe rain had held me back. It was my fault for going over to Sebastian's place. “You know you can always skip a day,” He said smugly as he rested his head on his arm as he lay on the bed looking freshly fucked with that glow on his cheeks.I eyed him like he had two heads. “And do what?” I shot at him, “Lazily lay around like a bum? like you?” I jabbed.“Hey,” He replied with a serious expression on his face. He was never serious so he almost got me. Almost. His lip twitched then and I rolled my eyes, “Don’t be rude. I just gave you the best fuck of your life.”I snorted. “So you think you are the best I've had?” He had a confused expression on his face and he seemed to be scrolling in his head probably thinking of any stories I had told him of hot sexual encounters. I opened the blinds and as if it had been waiting for me, a clash of thunder and lightning at the same time struck, making me almost jump out of my skin.“Jesus!”“You’re the one insisting on going out.
