Ava POV
A year later,
College, I didn't get into an ivy one but a college that calls spring college it's a four-year college. Nora's been busy we email each other but that's it we have had little time together. I tried not to worry about Nora. I was moving into my dorm room. The New York trains always amaze me there was this lady feeding some birds that were on the train. My father tried to get in contacted with me a couple of times I just ignored it. I tried to get back to Nora before she got to class but I was on the train and my severs went off, when I got off the train to upstate New York. It was a three minutes walk to the school and I had to go to the drom office for my key and room number. I was thinking about rushing for soretiy maybe at a kappa house. My face time went off my mother was calling, her and her boyfriend Tom were on a vacation so she wasn't able to make it today.
'Hi, mom' I said
'Are you checked in yet, also you have a therapist appointment tomorrow, ' She said
Why is still making me got to that I learned that I repress things, that why I don't I remember most of the stuff I do and I dealing with that. But I don't think I should have to go to therapy for this. I checked my phone, Tom showed up in the phone I always get a bad feeling about him. He said, hi and I waved I gave my mom some half-ass apogly about how I have to leave.I got to the dorm office and met the adviser Dr.Hans was sitting in the chair. I intorduced myself and we talked before getting the info of my room and the key.I walked to my room, I was sharing an aparment with a bunch of other students, I found a empty room and settled myslfe I wasnt goung to bother any of my roomates i'll let them come to me. There was a set of house rules on the fridge.
House rules
1. Name on your items, in the fridge
2.The wifi password iis on the counter
3. curfew is at three a.m, if your late don't bother coming in
Whoever these rules are out of there mind, I connected the wifi to my coumpter and started to look at my emails to see if Nora sent anything. Nothing yet classes don't start until monday. I decided to read death note as I waited for lunch. I finshed a volume and then I went to take a nap, I dried away It was now the next day and I was planning on spending the day with Nora. There was a knock at the door I went to answer it. My roommate Raya was at the door. She had this silver hair. I opened the door to let her in. She had a chipper Australian accent. It was kinda hot but I’m speaking because she may not have a sharp accent that makes me swoon, but I still like her. Speaking of which I have to get ready to see Nora today.
‘Hey, I was thinking we can hang out today after all we're going to be roomates’ She said
‘Yeah that’s true let me just ready’ I said
I had to tell Nora without her getting mad because we don’t spend time together as is. But I think we can meet up in an hour. I texted Nora to see how she would react, I just know she is going to be mad at me that I'm canceling our plans.
Me: I can't make it, my roommate taking me out
Me: I just thought that two of us could have spent time together after all this was a day you and I can spend time together
Me: I can't and you can't be mad at me because i'm busy, Nora you been busy for a pleasant month now, I have to go
I know she is mad at me but I can’t just stop my life for her because she is not busy anymore. I know Nora and I are busy as is but that is the life we choses when we got into college. I got out of the room and walked with Raya. We talked and we stopped in the cafe.
‘So tell me about yourself’ Raya said
‘Well i’m 19 soon to be twenty and I’m pansexual and I have a girlfriend name Nora who mad at me’ I said
I explained everything to Raya about Nora and I. I also wanted to know if I was in the wrong. She was very supportive and after we were done talking I gathered my stuff and got ready to get on the train to get to the city to see Nora. Maybe I'll meet her Barnes and Nobles. I need some books. I texted her to see if she could meet me there. I never got a text message back from her, I guess she was mad at me. I got on the train and listened to some music while I waited. I played Demi Lovato
I've seen the devil, yeah, I met him last night. Had a conversation, yeah, I think he's alright. Seemed kinda funny, yeah, he kinda my type
When it was my stop to transfer an hour later I waited for the next stop when I noticed my text from Nora confirming our meet up. Another hour I was at Barnes and Noble and this green haired girl came up to me. She started flirting with me and I was laughing. Because it felt nice, Nora came in and the girl haired girl left after Nora sat down.‘
Hi,’ I said
‘That green-haired 'Ava said ‘She was doing just some harmless flirting’
‘When I got my massage, they gave me a happy ending’ I said
‘Was it fun’
I was fine with it because it was harmless like my flirting, it wasn’t going to hurt anyone and it wasn’t a big deal. It comes with massages sometimes. Hell, Logan used to brag about them all the time when we dated. Nora got up to get her something from starbucks where we sat at.When she got back my phone went off and I didn;t want to be more rude than the day was so I went outside. I got some happy news. I went back in there to tell Nora.
‘I’m rushing for Kappa’ I said
‘So I guess I will have less time with you’ Nora I said
‘Not if you transfer college or I do’ I said
She grew silent and made me uneasy. I guess it wouldn't be smart to ask that after today but after all the slicent. I just wished I didn’t bring it. Why did I say something?
‘I can’t, Ava it would look bad that i’m switching colleges like this ‘She said
It kinda hurts my heart but I understand I have Kappa, classes I won't have time for anyway so it wouldn't be nice to tell her to move in.
‘Fine it’s whatever I have to go My roommate wants me to meet up with her’ I said
I got up and walked out the door and started to walk to the train. Then I realized that I forgot my jacket when I walked back to the Barens and Noble. I heard Nora talking on the phone and then I heard Nora talking about us probably Kenny.
‘Yeah, Ava and I, I don’t know how far that’s going to go due to college years’ Nora said
‘I forgot my coat and I find out that you want to end things, well fine do it’ I said
I stood there waiting for her to say thats she wanted to end it but I couldnt because I had places to be and I don’t have time to deal with Nora. I grabbed my Jacket and walked out the door. I got on the train and went back home. I decided to call Brooklyn once I was home she was supposed to get be here on monday and we were supposed to share a dorm. I had to transfer into a two dorm room place. Nora kept trying to text me to explain and I didn’t want to hear it, it was now going on six o’clock and my pizza was taking it time all my roomamtes were gone somewhere hopefully there out and stay out pass three am. There was a knock on the door and I went to answer it thinking it my pizza but nope it was Nora.
‘What are you doing here? ‘ I said
‘We need to talk,’ she said
‘About what’
‘Us’
Nora came all this way to talk about us. The pizza also came I paid for it and then we went into my room. I pulled a slice off. I sat on the bed waiting for her to talk; I bite into my pizza my door open it was Raya I got up and gave her a hug. Raya the only one in my roommates that I know ans she is nice as hell. She looked at Nora and waved Nora didn't return the favor; I told Raya it was just Nora being stubborn. I wanted to know Nora damage she didn't have to be ruin to Raya just because there issue with us. I told Raya I'll catch up with her later; it was just Nora and I. I looked around the room, twirling with sage.
'Let's go out clubbing. Just the two of us can start some trouble, ' Nora said
' How cute' I said
She got up and pulled me into a kiss , I thought she wanted to end things I could use a drink after all this bullshit I decide to invite Raya, she not harming anyone. I removed my clothes and then I notice Nora bag.
'So your spending the night' I said
'Yeah, I think it be nice to hear peolpe brag about my girlfriend' She said
I grabbed my toiletries bag and put on my robe and walked to the bathroom, I locked the door and got in the shower.I washed myself, fixed my hair and styled it, I got out of the bathroom and went in my room and got dress. I put on a boho dress and some flats. Nora let out a little whisle. I took a bow and Nora was just wearing Jeans and a tee.
'Why cant you dress up' I said
I never understand why she never dresses up when we got to places Nora doesnt dress up she just wear a plain tee and jeans. I tried to ignore it and grabbed a beer, Raya said I could have one of hers, I to swing of it and then Nira took it from my hand. I walked out the room and Nora followed me. I check to see if I had everything my bag, my house key, money and my box of pizza. Raya told us that her brother Liam will be coming he's an actor, I think I know who he is Liam marrying a prince and he going to be a duke. Lucky I would kill to be a duchess or a princess but i'm happy with the life I have. When we got to the bar Liam was there and there was pool full of people around Liam tabel. The people what is like meeting the queen and all that s**t, Nora didn’t have time for this s**t so she pushed the people out of her way. I don’t know what is going on with her, I tried to ignore the people yelling like Liam is a normal human just like all of us. I walked into the bathroom and tried to cheer myself up. I don’t like attention after all this with Nora. I walked out and I ordered a beer, there was this guy at the bar.
‘I have the lady drink also’ He said
I smiled and then drank my beer not trying to put it down in care he did something to it. I guess he thought it was a good time to put his hand on my shoulder. I gave him a little smile, he was chatty talking about how he got this car that drives fast. He was a f*****g asshole just bragging about his things. That when Nora came over, I knew things were going to make it worse for the run.
‘What the f**k Ava, your here f*****g flirting with this guy’ she said
‘ DOn’t f*****g talk to he-’ He said
‘f**k off’ She said
I don’t think she was joking, I don’t think this is an act she walked away from. I went after her. I don’t understand what is going on between us. Like I want to know are we over because it feels like college is pulling us apart. She was outside smoking a cigarette, I looked at her and she didn’t say anything anymore. I left my pizza at the table but I brought two slices for us.
‘Ava your like this f*****g sunflower and i’m just this blob of darkness that going to f**k a sunflower up’ She said
‘S what do you want to do then,’ I said ‘ I waiting for you to say the words, break or break up bullshit’
I’m over waiting for the end. I just want to hear her say it, it’s driving me crazy. I don’t know why we keep hiding the crazy that is going on in ourselves. Nora knows it and I do also were just pushing it inside acting like it not there and I’m f*****g over it. Nora and I are keeping everything deep inside like nothing even happened.
‘ I’m not going to keep going on like this what going on with us’ I said ‘ You brought us to the club you didn’t even talk to me about us like you came over here to do’
‘Well, let’s talk’ she said
I explained to her everything and how I’m feeling everything down to her being rude to Raya, what happened today and the break of space that we have going on right now. I explained to her all the things I was keeping deep inside. I was trying to keep inside.I also explained to her what was going on in the bar.
‘Wow okay our relationship is s**t’ She said
‘Yup it is but that us’ I said
‘Let’s talk over drinks’ Nora said
We walked back in the bar and got ourselves a different booth. I tried to understand Nora but there was nothing to understand. She is a mysterious person and she doesn't like to share her feelings. That's my Nora.
‘Okay let’s talk about how the girl that I love didn’t want to spend anytime with me without having another person around’ She said
‘Wait you love me’ I said
‘Well, yes you know how long I put up with your craziness it’s because I love you’ She said
I’m not crazy. I was shocked that she thinks of me like this but she loves me. I was trying to wrap my head around this, I smiled. I think I was blushing my face and felt house okay Nora loves me.
‘Nora Rivers loves me’ I said
‘Please don’t make it a big deal’ she said
‘ I can’t help it Nora you love me’ I said
She rolled her eyes and got another beer. Nora wants me to keep track of her number of beers. It's been one and a half so far she can have one more, no more than two beers. She came back with her beer and a pina colada for me.
‘Okay but beside knowing the fact that you love me, we have to talk about ourselves. Kappa is a no go and I can move to a college in the city’ I said
‘I can’t ask you to give up Kappa you seem like you will be happy with the idea of a sister hood’ Nora said
‘Your not asking me to I’m doing this for the good of our relationship’ I said
Kappa was something I loved. A sisterhood is something great that I wanted but I’m putting my relationship first. After today I know that this relationship isn’t going anywhere and I will do anything to fight for it .
‘Did you call me a sunflower’ I said
‘ It’s Kenny’s nickname for you’ She said
We left Raya and Liam alone and went back to the dorms, it was dark outside and we removed each other clothes.
