The next morning I wake up confused. I think back to yesterday. It was a day full of surprises, let's just leave it there. I'm looking forward to today. My first day at Cambridge University. I was euphoric when I received the letter saying I had been hired. My mother was also overjoyed and wanted to take a picture of me right away and put it on Facebook so proud she was of me.
I get up from the bed, which, to my surprise, was very comfortable and I want to walk to my wardrobe. Halfway through, I'm on something soft. I look at my feet and see that I'm standing on Ethan's shirt. Oh yes, of course I had thrown it there. My thoughts want to wander back to his divine body with tattoos but I quickly break through them by getting dressed. Then I pick up the shirt from the floor, straighten it, fold it up and put it on a shelf in the wardrobe at the top. I grab my bag, put on my shoes and then walk up the hall of the student house. Yesterday I agreed with Abby to go to school together. I knock on her door. The door flies open and to my surprise I see James standing in the doorway. It frightens me and recoils gently. I don't think that guy is honest. Then Abby comes walking towards the doorway with haggard hair. "Sorry I didn't know he was here." I say and I keep looking at Abby. "Doesn't matter, James was just leaving. Come in, I'm almost done. ' Relieved that James will be leaving, I take a step towards the doorway. To my surprise, James stops in the doorway. He makes itself wider and blocks the entrance so that I cannot pass it. Now I get irritated. "Let me pass, James!" I say with my hands on my hips. James smiles but doesn't take a step. "Let her through you fool." Abby says, kicking his legs. To my surprise, James obeyed and walked past me up the hall, down the stairs. Still looking at me. I am almost disgusted and quickly walk into Abby's room.
A little later Abby is also ready to start the day and we walk into the hall. When we walk down the stairs a lot of thoughts suddenly flash through my head and I feel that I am getting nervous. Not sure if it's because of the first day of school or because I have to think about Ethan. I think a mix of both. Which room would be Ethan's? I look around at all the doors on the ground floor. I notice that Abby is noticing and take a quick look at my feet. 'What's wrong?' She asks. "Oh nothing, I'm just a little nervous about my first day of school."
"Don't worry, I'm with you and nothing can happen." She winks at me and threads her arm through mine. I am happy with Abby by my side and I smile at her with a big smile. So we walk out of the house, towards the subway, still wondering what James was doing in Abby's room.
