I walk alongside Sarah and Anya on our way back to the dorm. With a full stomach and the satisfaction from Roni’s news, I can hold my chin up. Despite keeping it cool, and I think I’m succeeding, my thoughts churn with a mixture of confusion and guilt about what’s going on with me and Liam.
First, he wanted to be my boyfriend and take it slow, which I welcomed very much because I’m beginning to like him— very much. Then, out of the blue, he sends me that stupid note saying it’s over. So I give Nikko a chance, if only for friendship or wherever it may lead— which I doubt. Then I see Liam with Roni the next day, thinking he’s dumped me for her— then Roni confirms it’s not the case. Too late. I lashed out at Liam for the wrong reason. Shit. I’m a mess.
Our brief walk has been refreshing, despite the chill. I’m a bit startled when we arrive at our dorm as if the walk never happened because my thoughts were miles away.
