Alyssa I stole uneasy glances around me as I walked down the empty hallway, my footsteps echoing around me. With each class I passed, an awful amount of dread washed over me and it made me wonder, what exactly was doing out here instead of being stuck in one of the classes? A gruff huff from in front of me brought me back to earth, temporarily reminding me why I was stabbing classes. Cameron.Cameron Diaz. From my spot behind him I had a good view of his black hair and the messenger bag he shifted from one shoulder to the other from time to time. It irked me, but I figured the least I could do would be to keep shut at least all this was over. My mind wandered to Vivian and I bit down on my lips. The girl would freak out if she caught a whiff of what I was doing and who I was doing it with too. She never liked Cameron and well if I was being honest, no one actually did and it made sense because he hated everyone back. Literally everyone but most especially me and I found that
Alyssa I tossed and turned in my bed, barely able to focus or get my body to stay on a spot. It was frustrating as I willed myself not to stare at the clock. Not the bedside clock on my study desk, nor the giant one that was way high up the wall. I couldn't look. I just couldn't. But what if….No. I mentally chided myself as I lay on my side, my gaze falling on the wall supporting my bed. It wasn't a blank view, but there was only so much stickers and wall posters I could take in all at once. I inhaled and exhaled as I wrapped my arms around myself. I was freaking out and I had no idea why. No, scratch that. I did have an idea but it made no sense why I was freaking out about it. Do you understand?No. It just didn't…."Alyssa." I jerked up at the sound of my name being whispered dangerously close to my ear. Like that wasn't enough, someone's hand pressed down on my shoulder, squeezing it lightly. " Are you okay?" "Olive!" I sat up, my hand flying to my chest. I'd hoped that
Exactly how I'd gotten up this morning, I had no idea, but now that I was awake, I wasn't quite sure I liked it either. If I was being honest, I had no idea of what I liked or wanted. I had no idea of anything, anything at all. Except for the fact that Bennett cheated on me. With Emily. And it'd been going on for a while now…“Stop it, Alyssa!” I scolded myself immediately. I must have done that a little too harshly and out loud too, because moments after my mini outburst, a couple of students threw me a barrage of weird glances. It was either that or they'd heard all the tea from the school's blog site. My bets were on the latter though. “ Just fucking stop it.” I sucked in a deep breath. Honestly, it was literally easier said than done. If I was being honest, I had no idea how I was able to survive the hours between yesterday and today. After Cameron had jilted me to go do other important stuff, I found myself wandering around campus. It went on for a while, until I somehow wan
I stood rooted to my spot as I tried to come up with a reasonable explanation as to what was happening. Maybe I was being delusional and simply hallucinating? Or perhaps, somehow, I'd managed to cry myself into a state of shock where anything and absolutely everything could be possible. Because tell me why, I just had to be surrounded by literally the very same people I didn't want to see. “Alyssa?” My blood ran cold at the sound of my name. It was from one person and if someone had told me a time would come where the sound of my name on his tongue would no longer give me butterflies, I would have laughed my head off right at that person. I guess fate did have it's many ways of fucking you over. “ Is that really you?”I pressed my eyes shut, trying my possible beat to tune him out, but it didn't work. The more I tried,the more memories of us started to surface in my mind. “Please look at me.” No matter how mad, how heartbroken I was, I doubted I could stay away from him.

Cameron Time ceased to exist as we all stared each other down, each one of us silently daring the other to move. It was impossible though, we were currently a circle of three different people, so the probability of anyone backing down anytime soon was actually quite low. “What the hell was that supposed to mean?” Bennett spoke up, something unreadable lying underneath his words. I knew exactly what it was, but I ignored it. I wasn't going to indulge him yet. “Cameron!” He yelled again after not getting a response from me. If he wasn't careful, I still wouldn't answer him and he would have to make do with that, whether he liked it or not. “ Have you suddenly gone dead?”“It depends on who's asking.” I finally quipped. “Have you finally come to your senses now?” “What is wrong with you?” Bennett seethed. “ What the fuck has gotten into you?”“Definitely what hasn't gotten to y
I watched as we zoomed past the beautiful buildings, the world on the other side passing by in nothing but a blur. A cacophony of colors swirled against the raindrops that slid down the limousine's windows, giving me a live view of a real-life painting. It was beautiful, and maybe if I was in a better mood, I would have enjoyed it. But now, nothing, nothing else asides from the plan I had in mind could patch up my shattered heart. "... we're late because of you." I found myself tuning into my mother's recent conversation. She was seated opposite me as she lashed out. Whether it was at me or the driver, I wasn't exactly sure. " Do you know what this means?""I'm talking to you Alessia." I guess she actually was talking to me. "What do you have to say for yourself?"" I'm sorry," I mumbled without emotion. Everyone was tensed up, me included, the last thing I wanted was to push my problems on someone else. " I'm really sorry mum. I didn't mean to make us late.""Oh, It's okay. " She
“Are you sure you want to do this, sir?” The voice behind me reached my ears. A quick comeback hung on the tip of my lips, but I held back. Not yet. “ I can arrange something else for you. I'm not trying to impose or anything, I'm just asking because you asked to cancel all of your meetings today.”Silence. I made no move to answer as I kept on walking, my destination painfully etched into my memory. Right now, nothing else mattered more than getting there, no matter how hard the idiot behind me rambled. “Sir?” He called out again and I ground my teeth in anger. I was sure if I kept it on for long, he was bound to hear the sound of my teeth grating against each other and he would take the hint. On second thought, knowing how dumb my employees were, that was actually unlikely. “ Sir, are you listening to me? Also, with the number of potential customers there I feel it's unlikely that we reach a reasonable agreement today and if we don't, it'll be a total waste of time and effort
