Chapter 21: Seatmate

-LUCAS-

“Babe, wake up. Classes are about to start.” Just when I thought I could take a long nap. Therese, my girlfriend, woke me up.

But something in the corner of my eye caught my attention.

What sorcery happened to her hair?

“Yo! Idiot! Being an idiot isn’t enough for you so want to look the part?” I shouted across the classroom for that girl, Olivia Utinsky, to hear. Therese snickered mockingly by my side.

I recognized the guy near Utinsky is that Stephen Mucci who’s about to say something but-

“Words still hurt. You know that, right?” Utinsky, that idiot looked at me with a certain expression on her face. An expression I couldn’t read or understand.

‘Words can still hurt’

I knew someone from the past who said the same thing to me. This is getting irritating.

Blast from the past

Memories resurfaced

Nothing will last

A bitter taste

“Tsk. whatever.”
