Emerald
I still couldn’t believe we spoke to each other after so many times I’d planned a meeting point in my head where I had moved and looked happy and now that it played out in reality, I looked like a loser and he looked happy.
Emerald Mimi and I rushed toward the table and looked up at each other when we saw the call identity. It was my dad. And I didn't know why I was weirded out by the fact that he called. Mimi also knew how close, let's rephrase that, she knew how our relationship was. Mimi could really tell much about me and my family without even meeting them while I didn't know why she didn't like her mom so much. Whenever I asked her, she didn't care to answer. “Pick it!” she looked down at the vibrating phone and I picked it at once. “Dad?” “Emerald. How are you?” I widened my eyes. That was a first. “Good, ” I said and then caught my breath. “What’s up?” “Can’t I just say hello?” Jerking a shoulder forward, I held the phone with my shoulder, starting toward the tap to wash my hand. I chuckled. “Well...Where are you?” Washing my hands with soap, I dried it with a napkin before using my hand to hold on to the phone. Mimi was busy searching something from the cupboards while I roamed aroun
Emerald I was headed to the restaurant that had had great doughnuts the second day the curse took its course, alone after a long, boring class. When I stepped in, my eyes immediately found a certain someone, alone. James in all his six foot one foot glory sat alone at the table with a book. It kind of felt odd. Or what felt the most odd was me actually striding in and getting a seat. A person in the right frame of mind would have probably chosen somewhere else, yes? But there I was thinking I was in the right frame of mind. After ordering a burger and chocolate ice cream, I took the table at the far end, hoping he wouldn't see me. Wrong move. I had had just one bite when I found him looking at me with a burger in my mouth. Never liked eating out. Or an ex sitting tables away, watching me devour beefy, delicious burger and licking my hands filled with ketchup. At first it was annoying, but... fuck it. That dude had taken a lot from me, I wasn't going to let him deny me of ea
Emerald Friendship involved joking around and laughing and we did just that. It was nice catching up with James.
James I should've agreed to leave the moment she offered to drive me home, but there I was, in a crowd of three that didn't like my gut. Not like I did either. The two guys especially. But I became more subtle when I saw Mimi all over the ebony haired guy, whose name I had discovered was Steve, leaving the other to be my biggest threat.
Emerald Mimi breathed out. “That was crazy!” She started the tap to fill h

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. All I wanted to know was how Mimi got to this state.I pulled out of the hug and clasped her face, nodding thoughtfully at her. “Breathe.”She shook her head with another roll of liquid which I managed to caught before it dropped down
EmeraldThe next Monday came pretty quickly and I was at campus, rushing to class. Famous Mr Raven’s, of course. There was something about today that made everything look different. Maybe the fact that life just different. From having a roommate best friend to having Devin and James’ friendship. Now I wanted more. As more social life and relationship I could get.Perhaps I could wait a bit after class and small talk with my peers.Settling on my seat, I brought my note up, inhaled and exhaled, waiting for the class to resolve. The noise of desks, chats, roaming about cause the lecture wasn't there yet was annoying that I was actually relieved when he came in in another one of his boring sweat shirts.Everything became in order at the sight of his presence.My phone buzzed from my jean pocket, I brought it out immediately and it was a text from Mimi.Don't think I'd be going to school today. Need enough time for myself. Could you meet up with Brie to submit the files? MI. XPouting, I p
