LOGINOur bus pulled up at one of the most fanciest hotels in New York City, Aman New York. Did I save a planet in my past life to be rewarded like this?We highlighted from the bus, heading straight to the lobby, damn... this place is so beautiful, I was admiring the view when Jack snapped me back to reality."Hello... earth to Addison, calm down, you're drooling?" He teased earning a small smack from me.The course rep and the professor checked us in and distributed the keycard, obviously I was paired with Lovina."Let's go," she dragged me alongside her while I was still mesmerized by the beauty of the hotel.We reached our room and Oh my gracious goodness I was blown away with its interior, "sweet mother of Christ!" I yelled.Lovina rushed and flopped on the bed, "never did I imagine that we would be provided with such wonderful and exquisite accommodation, does it really need to be a two day trip, why not a full week?"I threw a pillow at her which she caught, "girl, be content with wh
I woke up feeling giddy, my things were already packed while I moved around to get myself ready for the trip.The weather forecast showed it was going to be a bit windy and knowing my body, I would definitely catch a cold. I made sure to wear something comfortable but still look amazing.Putting the final touches on my makeup, I glanced towards my phone noticing I was running late."Fuck..."I dashed out from my room with my small suitcase and my bag then headed straight to the gate, Leslie was there collecting something from a rider.I almost forgot that she wasn’t taking that course, "girl where are you heading to so early in the morning?" Leslie said calmly."The class trip for the extra class I'm taking," I said, while ordering a cab."Oh... thank goodness I didn't offer the class, I heard the professor is really strict," she said while trying to suppress a yawn."Yep, I almost couldn't go because I somehow missed the deadline and it's literally compulsory to pass his class. I was
The look on Romeo’s face was quite funny, he didn't know if he should be stunned, shocked or just... surprised."That's a lot," he said, rubbing his head gently."I know, now if you'd excuse me, I really need to head back home and rest," I said calmly as I made my way to get a cab."I'll drop you, I don't want to get on his bad side because you decided to use a cab," Romeo said quietly.I looked at him for a while with a tired expression on my face, "fine..." I sighed deeply, "I don't want to argue with you or him."Romeo nodded his head, following me by the side until we arrived at where the car was parked.I entered the car immediately, placing my head on head rest while facing the window. I wondered if I could ask Glen to help me with my school issue but wouldn't that be weird?This was getting too much, I haven't talked to Jack in a while, Conrad coming into my life and messing things up for me and now this...Can the world just end already?I picked up my phone to call Jack, at l
I don't know if he had been listening to our conversations. Actually, I hope he hasn't been listening. “Um, I think the crowd is clearing up. I'll go talk to him now.”Conrad stood up immediately as if hearing that I needed to leave and went to go see his group of friends that were in front of the class. Shit, I had actually been hoping to speak to him and apologize for the other day but now, he was nowhere in sight. I caught him by the door, about to leave. Unfortunately, the professor was packing up to leave so I had to choose one person to chase. “Professor, I'd like to see you. Do you have a minute?”He looked up at me, not expecting someone to come speak to him at this point.“And you are?”“A-Addison.”He looked like he was already tired of me. “Addison what?!” “Oh, Addison Rodriguez.”“Well A-Addison, what do you want?”I cleared my throat, ready to place my plea before him. “Well, I wanted to plead with you to help me secure a spot for the trip. I missed the application
“Did you get the memo? Have you submitted your application?” Those were the first words Lovina said to me when I got out of my room. Glen and I had been texting and I didn't even realize that she was home. “Huh? What application?”She gave me a look. “Check your mail. We're going on a trip. The professor wants us to go to Boston for the weekend. Says there is a major trade market there and he would like us to learn from it.” Interesting. That seemed like it would be fun. I rushed to my mail and filled out the application immediately. When I tried to submit it, the system sent a message. “Sorry, your application couldn't be completed at this time. Spots for these trips have been taken up!”What?! “All the slots have been taken up.”Lovina looked away from her phone. “What? How's that possible?”I shrugged. “I don't know. Maybe he didn't plan on taking the entire class? We're quite a lot in his class.”“That’s just stupid. How the hell is everyone supposed to benefit then? Don'
“Will I see you in school tomorrow? Should we grab some coffee afterwards?” I wanted to ignore him, just get away from here immediately but I couldn't just do that. I didn't know if he was armed. “No, you won't. I'm not coming to school. And even if I do, it's not to see you. Conrad, we're not friends. I made that very clear to you the last two times we've met. Stop what it is you're doing. You're making me uncomfortable. Stop showing up in places I'm at, stop being round me. Just because we spoke once doesn't mean we're soulmates.” By the time I was done talking, I knew that I'd said too much. Even though it was necessary, it was too much. The look on his face was like someone who had just seen a ghost, void of an emotion and just frozen in time. “Oh, I didn't know you felt that way.” He removed his hands from his pockets. “You should have told me. I thought I was just being friendly, excuse my manners. I tend to get familiar too easily. I won't bother you again, have a nice
The second Lovina came boom upstairs I threw a pillow at her, "are you insane?" I yelled at her. "Hey, what did I do?" She whined. "Firstly you bring an impromptu news that guys were in here then you run off with your fling leaving just me and him knowing fully well what went down between the bot
As we made our way around the mall, I received a text. I couldn't check it immediately because of the amount of bags we were carrying. The moment we settled at a cafe nearby, I let out a sigh of relief, "count me out of your shopping shenanigans for like a month, I'm beat down." Leslie laughed ha
TWO DAYS LATERMy life had been actually going great, I heard nothing from Glen and I wasn't even thinking of him, I had finally moved on from him.I was supposed to go to Leslie's place then we would head to the mall but I decided to wait for her at the mall to avoid running into Glen, nothing was
The second the alcohol dropped into my mouth, it was just right, the alcohol going through my veins and that adrenaline pump was just perfect. I rushed to the dance floor and danced so hard, "Addison be careful..." I heard her voice through the loud and banging music, the alcohol was seriously kic
