All Chapters of PROBABLY IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Keep in touch, alright." My classmates kept adding every time I spoke to one of them. I gave a tight smile, pretending that not having the everyday remainder of them is going to hurt me. Honestly, I would miss only a few of them. I was definitely not going to miss this college. It could go and fuck itself. I was just about to finally leave the college grounds when I heard someone call my name. "Celeste." I turned around to see that it was Carter who was calling my name. I suddenly remembered that I hadn't said farewell to him. I had to been avoiding him since the 'juice day' that we had. I didn't want to stop that now, but it was too late now. "Hey." He says once he is standing right in front of me. "Hey," I reply. "So this is it." "Yeah. I guess so. Finally!" I add with a chuckle. He smiles at that. "I didn't know that you would pull that." He says, gesturing to my suit. I look down and then

"Would you like a club sandwich?" The air-hostess asks us, dragging her food cart. "Is it vegetarian?" Phoebe enquires. "No. But we do have veg sandwiches. Would you like one mam?" She asks her. "Can I have a club sandwich?" I ask her. "Me too." Alexandra quips. She hands us our sandwiches before making her way towards the other passengers. "A ham sandwich, huh, Alexandra?" Phoebe questions, her eyebrows raised. "We are up in the air baby. I am no longer obliged to follow my parent's traditions." She says. I chuckle at that. The thing was Alexandra and Phoebe were both vegetarians since birth. Although Alexandra is quite a rule breaker when it comes to eating habits, Phoebe is a strict vegetarian. "If they serve alcohol, I am taking it without hesitation," Alexandra says. "Nope. You will do no such thing. You are a sad drunk, and this is a long journey. S

"Hello, Girls!" Robert greeted. We each shook hands with him, greeting him and introducing ourselves. "How do you find Edinburgh so far?" He questions. "Like a fairytale," I answered. "Yeah, I usually hear it a lot. I am glad that you like it here." He said with a smile. "Shall we go ahead and check out the apartments?" He questioned. We nodded our heads and let him lead the way. We had informed Robert that we needed to find an apartment that was close to the university, so that we wouldn't waste much time and expenses on travel. He had informed us that the apartments closer to the university were a little expensive, but that he would make sure that we find a reasonable one. Robert spoke to us openly, making jokes here and there. His warm personality brightened up the room. He was as old as my father, and talking to him reminded me of the very thing that I was missing. This was not the time to start crying, Celeste!&nb

"This lights can go here," I suggest. We had been decorating the apartment for a while now. We were done with all the arranging and setting up. Us working together helped us finish the work much sooner than we anticipated. "Let's make mac and cheese tonight," Alexandra says. "Yes! The kitchen looks so pretty now. It makes me want to cook." I reply. "Let's celebrate with some alcohol. Let's celebrate this new apartment, us being here. Everything." Phoebe says. "Then I guess we will need something more special than simple mac and cheese," I add. "I know just what to do," I exclaimed, clapping my hands in excitement. "I am going to do Gnocchi, but I don't like it when too many people are there in the kitchen. So leave that to me." I say. They nod their heads. "Then I will make some roasted butter garlic mushrooms and some roasted broccoli. " Alexandra pipes in. "And I will get the wi

My head was pounding, and my whole body was aching. The sunlight filtered in through my window, and I groaned at its intensity. I smothered my face in the pillow, trying my best to keep the sunlight away from my face. I should remember to put up curtains later if I ever wanted to sleep in peace without the sunlight waking me up. Why were hangovers such a pain in the arse? I tried focusing my attention on the voices, but the apartment was dead silent. Looks like both Phoebs and Alexa, were still sleeping. I decided to sleep for a while too. I had a nagging thought at the back of my head that I was forgetting something important. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember. I shrugged it off and went back to sleep.----"I fucked up big time!" I heard Alexa shout. Her voice rang in my ears, bringing in another wave of pain. "Oh for fuck's sake can you keep it down? Some of us are having a hangover here." I shouted back. The
