Emerald
EmeraldMy stomach had multiple flip flops my drive to the address Mimi had sent me. Steve apparently lived on campus which meant I had to go go school.What could he have done to Mimi to cause that kinda reaction though? I wasn't sure if he was the spur because Mimi liked him very much and if he was... I wanted to know to what limit.Finding Mimi in front of the dorm, sat on a chair in a singlet and shorts. She was barefooted and sure looked like homeless with rumpled hair. I squinted in confusion.“Mimi?” I ran toward her.She turned to face me and tears rolled down her cheek. Sitting close to her, I cleaned up her teary eyes and gave her a hug. Some group of people were laughing and I didn't know if it was about us or something else. I didn't care to.

Emerald Who runs after their ex to give them a pen? "Thanks." I grabbed it at the very tip to prevent any accidental brushing of fingers. I knew he noticed the way he looked down at the pen and then, me.
Emerald As if hearing my faint calls, he spotted me. I waved a hand at him smiling. Rolling his eyes, James snorted. I paid him a quick glance before starting toward Devin who was already inches away. He be
EmeraldRubbing my face, I heaved a sigh. Now Devin just had to be mad at me and ruin our date all for a simple misunderstanding with James. And I couldn't make him stay.
EmeraldTwo days after the whole thing with Devin and James, life started to feel like the usual again—undramatic, same old routine and just life.
EmeraldThere you go with apologizing to someone. They make you look stupid.I placed my phone on the couch and headed to the bedroom to get my l
EmeraldIt wasn't up to an hour later after the call with Devin that I heard the knock on the door. I scurried to get it, without the thought or worry about it being him or James.
