CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER 6_

I probably had a long ride getting to college, wasn't an easy one but its good.

I walk along side my dad, mum and my best friend Nicki, I don't know if to still consider her as one. Things have really been rough with us, and we are not even in good terms since our last outing at the beach. We haven't really spoken that much because I was too mad to get any explanations from any one but I believed it was going to be fine which isn't exactly the case now. Nicki coming along to see me off means a lot to me but I'm never going to tell her that.

Getting different documents and moving from offices to offices isn't really an easy work but with mum, dad and Nicki here it looks much easier. Honestly, I'm grateful and I know that I couldn't have been able to do that all by myself. At least they could be useful on some occasions. Last work to do is to find my hostel then set up my belongings.

Searching for the hostel wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be as someone directed us. For reals! You would just get lost trying to find a place in the darn school using the map given to you. Psst! I'm never going to advice anyone to use that unless they want to end up at somewhere different from the place they are actually trying to find.

Its a relief that we are here at the hostel now. My roommate is in the room, I guess she will be going out soon because she is arranged a dress I think she will be using for later. Hey! I'm Sarah you must be my roommate how are you doing- she looks over to Nicki and then stretches her hand for a friendly handshake but eventually gives Nicki a peck. I'm pissed tho but I maintain my cool and refuse to say a single word. To my greatest surprise Nicki is directing her my way.

"I'm Nicki, but sorry I'm not the one to stay with you, actually she is Nicki says pointing to my direction"

Such a relief but that's all gone after introducing myself to Sarah and seeing her face in a frown -'must be disappointed I'm your roommate but sorry you really don't have an option aside getting a house outside of campus and I really don't mind if you do, for the records I would be glad having the room all to myself so you can put your face back together or get the fuck out' I say without looking at her face and avoiding any reactions from any one. I walk past this girl, Sarah I guess is her name and over to the bed which is empty and set my box. I'm even surprised at my outburst but the plan was creating a new me and not keeping up with the girl who would just take anything thrown at her.

"Wow! Girl...what a bitch Nicki comments -

-"Hey girl! Chill I didn't mean it that way, like your sister looks more like_you know? Nevermind...just thought your sister is my roommate! Sarah says

"I know right! She isn't my sister by the way."

Sophie!!! Nicki literally screams my name

"Yoo girl - don't be offended tho, we are really not related, I give Nicki one of my best fake smiles".

"Wow!- you look hot when you're mad, I trust we are going to have fun living together Sarah says to me and equally winks at me."

Nicki walks out of the room without another word while I grab my stuffs that was in her hands a minute ago and start to unpack.

Nicki's POV_

I'm Sarah, you must be my roommate, how are you doing? Sophie's roommate says to me. I see the annoyance in Sophie's face so I tell the girl that I'm not the one to stay with her and that Sophie is actually her roommate. Now there is a change in the facials expressions. -Sophie got the surprised look, guess she never expected me to do that, maybe she thought I would still the attention from her as usual.

Sophie introduces herself to this girl but I can see the frown in Sarah's face knowing that Sophie is actually her roommate and not me.

Sophie's response to the girl comes as a surprise to me. Trust me I have never met this part of her before, she literally shocks us both with her outburst while walking over to the empty bed.

Believe me when I say I'm surprised at the way Sophie speaks without emotions. Wow! What a bitch!! Where has this part of Sophie been all along in our friendship? Like this is the kind of best friend I have always wanted and not the naive girl she has been all along.

"Hey girl! Chill I didn't mean it that way, I just thought your sister is my roommate nothing serious Sarah says"

I'm shocked at the way Sophie denies me of not being her sister right to the face of a stranger. I get the fact that I'm not her sister, we are not even related and I get it but all our lives I have always thought of her to be my sister so I practically yell her name. This time Sophie rubs it on my face that we really are not even related. This really hurt my feelings, I've never been humiliated this much in my whole existence. Not enough crowd to get me pissed up or anything but the fact that it is coming from a person I have seen as a sister and considered best friend? The tears are already making my visions blue so I decide against saying a word as I leave her presence and now her existence gives me goosebumps. I can't even explain this feeling that I'm getting but I know it hurts for real.

Nicki!! Mrs White calls for me but I ignore her and keep moving, I can't break down here especially not in the presence of anyone I know, not even Sophie nor her mums presence can I dare to tear up in. Unfortunately for me Mrs White follows me to know whats wrong. I'm left with no option.

"What? I literally scream. You judge me because of my looks and leave your child who is the real bitch because she hides in her physical appearance. You think she's a saint and everyone around her like me are demons right? Your saint of a daughter just humiliated me in there, what are you going to do about that?

"No!...Sophie could never do anything to hurt you darling, you're wrong, wait a little bit let me find out what she did. She loves you" Mrs White says.

I'm even more hurt by what she says. She thinks she is comforting me yet she is adding more fuel to fire. It sucks! I'm already tearing down.

"I know right? I'm the one who is hurt, I'm the one who just got humiliated but you would rather hear from her than from me whom you are seeing right now? Haha I give a fake laughter out of pains. I should have known better than to think of coming here but I chose to make the mistake of coming". After my last words I walk away. The earlier I get home the better for me.
