Just His Past

Roomates

I pressed the elevator button. Hmmm let's see what awaits me on my new room.

"Room 119,” I mumbled as I finally reached the 4th floor. Blessed with so much luck, the room was just ten steps away from the elevator. I slide the key card inserted on the form which was given by the cold President.

The room is quite smaller than the ones I slept on; and looks more like a students dorm rather than a master's room but it still got the same quality designs mostly painted with cream color. It got three single beds whereas two are with pillows and blankets...obviously the other one would be my bed.

"Pssssssshhhhh" I heard a flush coming from the door on my left which I guess the cr. Not long after, a lady in school uniform with big glasses came out.

"Ah sorry" she politely said while drying her hands with towel.

"You must be our new roomate. Hello I am Chalsey Timber!" She said ecstatically...very full of fun and enthusiasm compared to what is expected from a girl on big glasses. So I guess she is not a nerdy after all.

"Hi Chalsey. I'm Avrigail Halley but you can call me Avri instead,” I offered my hand which she gladly takes.

"As you can see, it is evident by the numbers of beds that we are three in the room...me, you, and Sam but I think she already has gone to her classes,” she said.

"And speaking of which, can I take a look on your schedule maybe I can do you a company for your first day in here,” Chalsey continued.

"My first schedule would be on Room 043-9 am.” I look at my wrist watch only to found out that I barely have less than an hour left to prepare before my first class starts.

"Okay great my schedule was the same as you only that I'm in Room 045...but still I can accompany you," Chalsey said with a smile.

"Geez! but I hardly have enough time to prepare." I hissed as I immediately look for my towel and march towards the bathroom. Girls know how much time we need to take a bath.

I sighs heavily as we reach the building where our rooms are located. It's five minutes more before 9...and I'm really giving up catching the time but Chalsey seems to be determined to be on time.

"I can't" I said.

"You can just go first Chalsey I will be alright on my own now" I assured seeing that she does not want to leave me alone but is very concern with the time.

"Sorry sis. Just proceed to the second floor using the stairs. The first room will be room 043. Gotta go first", then she runs as fast as she could. Okay that's not lady like I thought to myself.

It was always been a lesson to myself to act like a lady as per the teachings of my mom. I felt sad uttering the word mom in my head. It was not long since she left this world. I sigh and start marching towards the staircase. Today is my first day here in Nightingales Academy, I should be at my best shape.

As soon as I arrived in front of Room 043, I check my wrist watch. I am two minutes late. Not bad.

"Good morning ma'am,” I greeted the teacher before entering and handing my approval form. I heard some of the students remarks.

"She's new girl right? Very pretty…" Oh thank you.

"I bet she'll be mine soon," a random guy said. Gross I'm nobody's property dude.

"Nah...she's the slut from earlier!” a jealous b***h exclaimed.

"The one with the President...tsk b***h!" Here we go again with back s***h.

"Everyone quite!" the teacher scolded.

"As for everyone's information, she will be your new classmate in my subject. Kindly introduce yourself."

"Good morning everyone. I'm Avrigail Halley, seventeen. I prefer being called Avri...” I post for a while gathering their attentions.

“…and I bet you stop calling me b***h or slut as I am not!" Surely I'm not gonna let them degrade my status as a person.

I stretch my vision to find a suitable place for me. Great the back rows are empty. Even before I started walking to the seat, my classmates specially the girls started smiling and giggling from ear to ear. I don't understand and I care less to understand anyway...I continued walking when someone taps my arm. It was a chubby nerd guy.

"Newbie I guess you find another seat...just not the one's in the back," he murmured. I don't get it.

"You're late!" I heard the teacher shouted. So someone is more late than I? Such a relief. Haist! I comfortably landed my butt on the chair as soon as I approached the back rows. I close my eyes and happily congratulate myself for successfully catching up the class time, introducing myself in front, and finding myself a nice seat...or not so nice after all?

"That was my chair.” I heard a cold voice said which sounded really familiar to me.

"Enzo she's a newbie" I heard hmmm I think Mr. Marutia’s voice...and wait Enzo?Why the hell would my ex be in here?! I am really confused. I opened my eyes only to see everyone throwing glances and dangerous stares with me.

"Serves you right b***h!" I heard a girl say.

I slowly shifted my eyes towards the man towering in front of me. My world froze. I can't seem to open my mouth. He seems shock as well but immediately return to his cold aura. Why do I have to cross path with the man who both makes me feel like a princess and like a trash at the same time. I wouldn't let you this time. I compose myself and said:

"I bet we paid the same fees to the school which gives us the same privilege on school properties including chairs." I immediately take my eyes away from his brown captivating eyes. If I stay long, I might be drown again.

Everyone around seemed to be at awe to what I said. Maybe it was the first time Enzo has been treated this way. I've known him before...and he does not go further on women. He have that much respect that's why I loved him. Oh Avri stop being hilarious again.

I look at my ex only to find him unaffected of what I just said. He just blankly stares at me. I couldn't take it.

"Mr. Salviejo and Mr. Marutia you are badly needed at the principal's office,” the teacher called out which saves me from being intensified with his stares. He does not know how much his stares matters to me. Oh stop it Avri, you said you had move on already. I hope I am right but why does my heart beats so fast seeing him retreating to the door. The familiar pain...the same pain I felt as he left me before was here resounding.
