All Chapters of Head Over Shoulders : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I'm very okay staying in my room and counting the many things I hate about myself. There's a knock on the door and more than anything, I wish it isn't Ander. It has come to my notice that I can't go anywhere near him without a raging boner. It's embarrassing and inconvenient. "Come in." My voice sound like someone used a rake to scratch my throat. It's not Ander, but Gideon that opens the door. I sit up a little, rubbing my hands across my cheeks. "You're here. Are you feeling better?" "Something like that. I no longer feel like I was hit by a truck. You didn't go out with the others?" "I'm skipping today. Taila asked me to accompany her shopping. I don't know why she wants to to night shopping, but I don't mind." There's this adorable smile on his face.Taila is the girl he's had his eyes on for months. Even before we started school. He doesn't talk about her much because the others tease him for being the only straight person in the group. I don't think it's necessary though, Gi

I've got to hand it to my roommates for being amazing people. Yes, even Ander. They cheered me up and made me feel less like a piece of trash, like I'd been feeling. I'm currently having breakfast. Even though in supposed to hurry for my class, I take my time. The professor has a thing for going late. Gideon and Jesse are with me in the kitchenette. While I'm eating a sandwich, they're trying, and failing miserably, to make pancakes. It's so funny because every single one burns or comes out in an odd shape. I laugh so hard I don't even hear my phone ring. It's Magnus that brings it to me. I collect the device, it's Timothy calling me. I excuse myself to the balcony to take the call. "Hey." "I'm sure you're lounging around in pyjamas, but the professor is going to be early today. I spoke to him personally." I giggle. "Why does that sound like a threat to me? I'm sure you went to go beg him. Didn't you?" Timothy snorts. "You're free to believe whatever you want to. I'll see you th

Ander has been an angel for the past few days. He's helped with my laundry, my books and even my dishes. Kyle asked me once if he was trying to win a favour from me. I was only able to shrug, because I didn't know either. Even though he's nice and everything, not once has he had a conversation with me, or done anything sexual. Instead, he's so occupied with Jesse, it makes the rest of us want to puke. He eats with him, showers with him and even sleeps with him. Embarrassingly, the first night he came to our room, I stayed awake waiting for him to sneak to my bed. It never happened. Tonight, as usual, Ander hands me a bowl of popcorn and goes to snuggle with Jesse on the other couch. Though Ander hasn't been making advances towards me, someone else has been. Magnus. Because, right now, he's coming closer to me. His fingers are inching to mine, like he's trying to interlock them. I can see Ander staring holes into my skull, but I ignore him. I take the initiative and hold Magnus's han

I hate classes that end in the evenings. Although they encourage me to sleep early or stay in, they also make me feel like murdering myself. I pick up my phone and check the time. It's 17 minutes to 5, and this Professor doesn't seem like they are leaving. My eyes close as I let my mind drift. Someone steps on my foot, and I'm ready to throw hands. Anything to let the class end. As I open my eyes, I see students are leaving. I didn't just close my eyes, I fucking slept off. It's 5:26, and there's a call from my mother. It's insanely strange for her to be with her phone, but I still answer the call. "Hey mommy." "Where are you?" "In school. Just finished a class right now. Where are you? You're fine right? Nothing to worry about." She's silent. My mother goes silent like that when she's deep in thought. "It's not something to be discussed over the phone. Come to the house right now." My heart is beating out of my ribcage. Everything about my mother makes me worry. I genuinely hop

It's 11:47 am right now. I've been up since 5 a.m because of Jesse. Today is Ander's birthday and he's planned a huge surprise party. Ander as usual went out for a party. Jesse is a hindered percent sure he won't be conscious till noon, so we don't have to worry about interruptions. "Vicky, have you pumped the balloons. We don't have orange ones. How are we supposed to make a balloon rainbow banner without orange balloons? Have you seen a pride flag without the colour orange." I roll my eyes, discreetly though. Jesse has been sassing me so much I'm kind of wondering whose boyfriend Ander is. "We've run out of orange balloons. Can't we just do something else?" Jesse drops the cups he was holding. A frown on his face."If you forgot your shoes, do you walk barefoot or you go buy new shoes? Don't be dumb Vicky." I open my mouth to say something, but Magnus covers my mouth. "We'll go get balloons." The little ingrate is smiling now. "Since you offered. There's still a lot of things t
