My heart starts to pound when I hear the name of the stop. This is the stop where Ethan got off yesterday. Will he get in here now?
"You will see the boys again." Abby continues, but I'm not listening anymore. All I can do is stare at the subway doors slowly opening. The metro is crowded with people. My eyes dart from head to head. I calm down when I don't see Ethan walking in between. Why am I so influenced by that guy?
I decide - for now - to put him out of my mind and chat with Abby until we get off at the right stop.

We walk towards the university and I am amazed. When I was allowed to come here for an interview last year, it took me fifteen minutes before I got inside. Fortunately, I was on time, as always. But I was so distracted by the beautiful buildings, high turrets and the large lawn. And now I am grateful that I, Esmee, can study here.

I walk into the university building with a proud feeling.
When we sit down at our first lecture, I feel great. Yes okay, it's school but I'm just looking forward to it and I'm very excited. When I see that the teacher isn't there yet, I see an opportunity to question Abby about James. I secretly hope that they are dating or something, so that he will leave me alone in the future.
"Anyway, what was James doing in your room this morning?" I move my eyebrows up and down and give her a gentle push on her shoulder. 'James had lost his keys. That happens quite often. Then he always knocks on my door and asks if he can crash at my place. I always let him in, I would feel sorry if he had to spend the night in the living room or in the hallway. ' She laughs. Well if James ever knocked on my door, he could stay in the hallway. I really don't want him in my room. The creep. I get a chill at the thought and quickly continue talking.
"Did you kiss?"
"No Es, nothing happened, I threw a mattress on the floor and within 10 minutes he was snoring." She laughs off her answer and I laugh with her. I'm not sure I believe her, but for now I'm just going to do it. The teacher enters in the meantime. Class begins and I almost bounce with enthusiasm.
