All Chapters of Head Over Shoulders : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I'm bouncing my ball. Up down, up down. The sound is supposed to help me focus. It's always has, but right now, I'm more antsy than when I woke up. I shoot the first time, the ball completely missing the hoop. I could've done better with my legs if you ask me. The second time, I try to be more focused. I eventually throw the ball. A group of students come out of a hall, and now I have to act all nonchalant. I'm waiting for Vicky, and as embarrassing as it is, I don't find it in me to care. I wait for everyone to file out, Vicky isn't among them. I go back to playing my ball. It bounces so hard this time, it ricochets on the floor. I grian annoyed and just collapse on the ground. "Hey, you dropped this." I raise my head to see who's talking to me. It's a girl. Dark skin and shiny lips. She drops it beside me and I expect her to leave. She doesn't. She sits beside me. I don't want the company, but I try to be nice. "I've been seeing you here around often." I almost roll my eyes. "

One of the reasons I hate higher education so much is the amount of ‎workload I have. I'm sitting on my bed, tired from doing nothing except trying my very best to understand the book in front of me. Nothing enters my head, not like that's new. I sigh, close the book and plop on the bed. The ac is turned on and I get more comfortable. Just as I'm about to sleep, my phone rings.‎Its an unknown number. I am reluctant to answer it, but do anyways. ‎"Hello?" My phone slips from my hand and falls on my face. I cringe, really grateful I'm alone.‎"I'm outside your dorm. Hurry." All the sleep is gone from my eyes. I recognize that voice too well. I could blame it on the sleep, but I know it's not. Then it dawns on me, why the hell is Archie calling me?‎"Okay. I coming," I say, not even realizing he'd ended the call. The weather has gotten significantly colder, so I get another later of clothing to add to my sweatshirt and tee shirt. I get cold easily and for some masochistic reason, I alw

It's rather strange where I am. I'm not supposed to be in Archie's childhood home. I can see Angie there. She's laying on the ground, bleeding. The bike I stole isn't far from her. Archie is shaking her. Crying and screaming. I don't understand. My mind is hazy, I'm so confused. Archie looks at me, calls me a murderer. He points at me, almost poking me. I'm not a murderer. I try to explain, I try to say something, but I can't. It's like my mouth has been shut. He lunges at me, grabbing my shirt. He's shaking me. I'm crying. My throat is dry, my armpit damp with sweat. "Vicky, snap out of it!" Someone shakes me violently. I open my eyes. Jesse is beside my bed looking so worried. I don't get a word out because he's hugging me. Magnus, Gideon and Ander come in at some point during the hug. It's only when I try to close my eyes that I realize I've been crying. There are tear stains down to my chin. "You had a nightmare. You were screaming and crying so loud. What happened? Who's Angi

Professor what's her name calls me to her office. I don't want to go initially, because I think she'll scold me concerning my horrible grades or my almost never attending her class. I'm standing at her door, the same spot I've been at for roughly 20 minutes now. I don't have another class and as I check my phone, it's already 5 pm. She isn't even supposed to be around anymore."Aren't you going in?" Someone, who's coming out asks me. I am able to ignore them, not because I'm a rude bitch, but because the professor herself sees me and beckons me to come. "Hi," I greet taking a seat no one offered me. She doesn't say anything. Her only reaction is a silent scoff. "I received the flash drive containing your work a few days ago. You weren't in class when corrections concerning them were made." I'm about to give an excuse, but she raises her hand to silence me. She doesn't want to hear it. "Weren't you given a script? Did you memorize it?" "Why?" "Because you kept stuttering. People

It's 7 pm and I'm still in our stupid lecture hall. Our professor is still saying whatnot and I'm hungry. So hungry I could eat a horse. It's a joint class, so I'm seated with Zee and Aubrey. Timothy and Charis couldn't make it for some reason known to them. Zee is snoring on my left, Aubrey, on my right is scrolling through her gallery. "It's not like you haven't seen these pictures before." I say to her. I felt like if I didn't talk, I was going to go insane. She groans so loud a few students stare at us. They too are tired or bored out of their minds. "I'm so bored. And this man isn't helping anything. He's so slow and uninteresting. I'm going crazy." "Same." I fall back to my chair, sighing."Maybe we could jump out of the window. We're just on the first floor, our chances of death are very limited." I snort a laugh because I don't think she's serious. Her pokerface tells me she is. "Alright class. That'll be all. Have a good day." It feels like everyone suddenly comes back to
