Reconciliation

The morning sun is up and bright. It shone gently upon my eyes as I slowly opened my eyes to wake up. The slight warm rays embrace me as if to greet me a joyful "GOOD MORNING!"

I got up to do my daily routine as I started getting ready to start my day. As I started getting ready for school, I had a terrible headache. My head feels like it's being pounded by multiple sledgehammers repeatedly.

I also got glimpses of vague, blurry visions with corresponding muffled voices, laughter, conversations with someone I couldn't make out to be.

"That was weird, but at this point, why even let myself be distressed about it. It happens so often lately it's getting tiresome."

I brushed it off as a common occurrence at this point and I went on ahead for my university. I made it a point to myself to not get too indulged with whatever it is I see in my "visions" since it would just drive me crazy since no one else knows what they could be either, not even mom.

I got a class at around 1pm in the innermost part of the university campus. I hate this class in particular since I have to walk so far and it's so inconvenient since my class is held at the 4th floor, plus, the professor is pretty, pretty horrible. Textbook hateful professor. Doesn't teach a lot, gives pop-up quizzes like it's giving candies away on Halloween, and overall just not very likeable. I mean, with regards to the 4th floor issue, I could always take the elevator up there, but my anxiety and my introverted self could never take the awkwardness of using the elevator with a group of friends with only myself as the outsider ride-along. So, what did I do? Yup, I walked the stairs all the way to the 4th floor and walked all the way to the end of the hallway to arrive to class, or so I thought. Turns out, class was cancelled and there was an announcement about it but I didn't realize until it was already too late.

"I knew I had a bad feeling about this. Dang it."

I walked all the way back the hallway to the staircase but standing around that corner was Rose. I remember thinking that she was an extremely unlikeable and impossible psycho, but lately, I realized she isn't really all that bad. I mean, she's very pretty and really nice, but maybe we just met at the wrong place at the wrong time every time, or maybe she really is a psychopath, I mean, I'm not an expert at this. My major is Financial Management, so I'm not well-versed in psychological stuff. I'm better at dealing with numbers rather than people. It's easier to read finances because you can foresee how it would act to a certain point. With humans, there just really isn't any certainty. But on the other side, there is a way to tell human behavior, communication.

I approached her, since she's standing on the hallway to the staircase anyway.

"Hey, fancy meeting you here."

She replied, "Oh hey, yeah I enrolled in the class at the end of the hallway, but I just got the announcement that it was apparently cancelled."

"No way, Managerial Economics?"

"Yeah. Wait do you take the same class?"

"Yeah but I didn't really notice the announcement until just a minute or two back. You heading somewhere?"

"Honestly, I'm not sure. I'm not really that well-versed around campus yet. Plus, I haven't really made that many friends either. College life is hard."

"Hey so am I. I'm kind of an introvert so making friends isn't really my strong suite. Have you toured the campus yet? I could show you around if you want. I don't really have much going for me for the rest of the day anyway."

"Are you sure? That'd be great. Thanks!"

I started touring her around campus, from famous hangout spots to LRCs (Learning Resource Center), to all named buildings college students typically conduct their classes in, cafeterias, restaurants, and the sports center. These are the basics of college life in our university.

"Thanks for showing me around. You know I always figured we started off on the wrong foot."

"Yeah, that's sort of my fault. I might have misjudged you at first, but hey I mean you're really cool."

"Hey you too. Thanks! I'll see you around hopefully. Bye!"

"Alright, take care."

Wow. She does seem pretty normal huh. Now I feel bad for treating her like crazed psychopath. I mean, she used to just do whatever she felt like doing without a regard to anyone and anything else, so could you really blame me entirely? Well, anyway, that doesn't matter now. After showing her around campus, I say we're even.
