Nina's POV

I woke up with a terrible headache, I stood up and I felt the whole world spinning, I quickly sat back down and massaged my head for a bit.

I felt better, I sighed then I noticed something wasn't right, did my room change overnight? I thought.... Wait!! Where am I? What's going on?

I looked at the bedside cabinet and saw a night lamp with a picture frame of Elijah and his mom... Holy shit I'm in Elijah's room, I quickly checked to see if I was naked, thank God I'm still in my clothes.

I breathed out a sigh of relief, I looked at the picture again and took it, touching Elijah's happy face on it..... what really happened to you? I wondered

I didn't know he was already in the room until the frame was snatched from my hand. I looked up at him in shock and he was staring down at me

I quickly looked away and cleared my clogged up throat. "Uh.. I "
"Looks like you're awake, I was beginning to wonder when you'll get up and let me have my room back" He cut me, I looked at him to see one of his eyebrows raised and his hands in his pocket

Okay, I might be pissed but he looks attractive right now in his joggers and black big shirt... I looked away sighing, coz I'm not ready for his trouble this morning, so I'll just overlook his statement

I stood up and looked at him, "thank you for bringing me home and if I stressed you last night or did anything silly, I apologise " .... not like I remember anything anyway

He just stood staring at me, then his eyes went lower, I was confused, then I looked down to see half of my boobs spilling out of this stupid croptop

I heard him say "hmm", I tried to adjust the top, then I turned to look at his bed, it's only appropriate I lay it. I started folding the duvet, I was expecting him to say don't bother so I can flee, but the idiot didn't even move or utter a word.

I started spreading the sheets, I felt so uncomfortable coz I am bending and I'm so sure he was looking at my ass. I shrugged it off, I needed to move to the other side and he was standing right on that spot obstructing me from moving further

I looked at him, oh God this is so awkward, why did I have to get drunk
"C..caan you..you move, I n..need to fix the..the other side" he still didn't budge. I'm sure my morning breath could kill him and I looked like a bloated pig right now

I sighed and turned to leave his room when he held my hand, I looked at him in shock, "What are you doing?"

"Aren't you going to finish laying the bed?" He asked
"Uhm.. uh.. b.but you didn't move when I told you to, so why are you stressing me?" I retorted

Then he released my hand and said "so much for being considerate" he walked past me and left the room. I sighed and shook my head, he's indeed a psycho

I quickly laid his bed and left his room for mine, I tried opening my door and I realised I must have forgotten my things at the club yesterday. Oh God why me? I thought

I turned to go and look for Elijah to ask him for his phone so I can call Sarah.
He was standing right in front of me, I abruptly stepped back shrieking a bit

"Here, Sarah came to check on you and brought this" he said handing me my small bag. I took it with shaky hands and muttered a "thank you".... I quickly fished out my room keys, unlocked the door and got in fast.

I pressed my back on the door, touching my beating heart, I feel so embarrassed right now, why do you affect me so much Elijah?.... I calmed myself and the rest of the day went by with me doing other things and avoiding him at all costs

..............

It's been two months now, life has been so stressful with me working two jobs, also using my hand craft to make money and also studying as well. It makes me proud that I can save and also stop my parents from sending my accommodation and feeding fees.

Life isn't easy for every being anyway, Sarah, Lami, Jess and Trish has been so wonderful, feels good to have them as friends, well I and Jamie aren't that close, but we're good too

These past few months, Elijah became more distant ever since my drunk moment with him, I don't know why, I also noticed he's more studious than the first time I came to Manitoba, but still doesn't stop him from being with different girls, it has gotten worse that I rarely see Dora or Nadia

But I also noticed that it's either he's banging them in the living room or away from home and not in his room, I know this because I've witnessed some girls come to knock on his door yelling about being dumped

Why doesn't he? I wonder... "Earth to Nina" my new found friend Trevor said
"What's up with you? I've been talking to you since, did you even hear me?"

I laughed shakily, looking away shyly
"Sorry, I was just thinking about home, that's all" I lied
"Aww you miss home right?" He asked and I nodded

"I understand, but Dr Dolphin needs you to document this lab results on the computer under the in vitro research file we're working on okay?" He said

I took the papers from him and checked them out "okay sure, I'll do it now" I said
"Yeah and ASAP with it, don't forget your shift ends in an hour coz of your classes "

I smiled appreciating his concern "thank you Trevor, you're such a nice person to me "
He smiled back and replied "no problem baby girl, it's just that I've noticed you have a lot going on, but just be strong okay and if you ever wanna talk, I'll be here"

I laughed and hugged him which took him by surprise "yeah sure, I'll take you up on that offer, thank you again"

He hugged me back and patted me when a cough drew us apart, we turned to see Dr Dolphin's secretary looking at me with anger... what did I do? I thought

She smiled sweetly at Trevor, "Dr Dolphin needs your attention now Trevor".... "Alright I'll be there" he said turning to put me through on how to input the results

"Trevor, he needs you now" she said
We turned to look at her confused like why was she still there waiting ?

"I just said I'll be there, you don't need to wait" Trevor replied rolling his eyes
She huffed and walked away. I shook my head smiling, "what's so funny?" Trevor asked

I chuckled "she obviously likes you, just go and answer Dr Dolphin, I already understand it and I don't wanna make enemies here"

He too laughed "yeah I know she does but I don't, she's too rude, anyway see you later"

"Yeah sure" I chuckled and shook my head.... Women, we've got issues.
Trevor is a cute, tall, smart and good guy, but I don't like him in that way and he's been so nice to me, he's also my third white friend

I remember when we first met, I thought he was a grouchy guy, but he started putting me through and we hit it off as good friends when I spoke out my mind telling him how I felt about his rude treatment towards me, ever since then we became really good, he has even met Sarah, Trish and Jess and they really liked him.

I finished my shift and bade Trevor and Dr Dolphin goodbye before leaving for lectures. I noticed the glare the secretary was giving me, I smiled sweetly and waved at her before leaving
