Vicky

Finally my shoulder is healed enough for my dormmates to stop treating me like an egg. I wake up again for the third time that day. This time, I'm all alone. I can vaguely remember Magnus telling me he had an early morning test. It's almost 4 p.m and he isn't back. I shrug off the worries and prepare an easy dinner. I take my pasta and head to the living space to watch some TV. The first movie I pick is the most boring thing I have ever watched in my life. I send Aubrey a text explaining how I'm going to pass out from insane boredom. She doesn't respond so I succumb back to the tv. I'm nose deep into the new movie I picked when my phone rings. It's Archer. "Hello?.""Yeah, Vicky. Where are you?" He speaks so pleasantly it makes me confused. "I'm at the dorms. What is it? Why are you calling me?""I'm thinking of watching a movie at the cinema and I want you to come along.""Why?"Archer takes a deep breath. I hold mine waiting for what he'd say. "What's with the attitude? I'm tryi

Third Person's POV

Archer is in Madeleine's home. Much to his dismay. Since his little 'argument' with Vicky, they'd been on a no speaking term. The only form of communication was an unanswered good morning text from Vicky. Archer saw it alright. In fact, he has his phone in his hand as he stares at it. Just, replying means a stiff or AI generated response from Vicky. "What's wrong? You seem off." Madeleine comes to sit beside her boyfriend. She curves her hips for it to grab his attention. It doesn't. He doesn't even pay attention to her hand on his shoulder. "I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me so you don't need to worry." He tries to smile but it comes out all wrong. She looks at him, hoping he'll look back. He doesn't. His gaze trained on the off phone in his hands. "Okay. If you say so. I'm gonna wash my hair okay?"He grunts in response. As Madeleine leaves, Archer gets his phone again. At this point, he doesn't know what he's expecting. He responds to the text and also asks how he's doing

Ander

It's my ringtone that drags me up from my pile of blankets and pillows. I love sleeping on the balcony for so many reasons, especially the warm sun on my skin and cool breeze. I snatch my phone from the stool. It's my mother's nurse. That's a surprise considering the last time I was there, I was almost literally flung out. "What is it?" "It's your mother again," I want to say something sarcastic, but she sounds so exhausted. "She's been preparing all morning for her daughter's birthday party. There's no party right?"I check the date on my phone and sigh. Today is Angie's birthday. "I'll be there soon. Tell her I'm coming."I end the call and call my father. He doesn't answer the first time. Because I'm annoying, I leave him 32 unanswered calls. He calls back after my shower. "Hello dear daddy?""I'm busy Ander. Is there a problem?"I drop my phone to be able to dry my hair properly. "Did you seriously call me 32 times for no reason?""No. Your dear wife is acting up again. Come

Archer

I'm certain Madeleine has called me over a hundred times since we last spoke. To be very honest, I'm not even angry at her like she thinks. This weight in my chest isn't anger, it's guilt. Guilt because of course, I'm also cheating and because I don't feel bad for not feeling angry. I'm feeling guilty for not feeling guilty. I silence my phone but she goes ahead to text me on all social media I have. It's getting kinda annoying. My agenda for today isn't anything complicated. Just eat a healthy meal and punch my brother in the fucking face. I call him to make sure I don't waste petrol on his pathetic ass but he doesn't respond to me. All the 9 times I called!I take a nice relaxing shower, a healthy breakfast and find my way to my childhood home. Opening the door, I'd be less surprised to see a crocodile than my mother and brother making pancakes together. They're even laughing and hugging. "Did I smoke? What's going on?" My question is for Ander but I'm surprised my mother respon

Vicky

Today is one of my very frequent mental health days. A time I take to be with myself and avoid anything that could stress me. School especially. This time, I'm at the basketball court. I'm not playing, but rather running around and bouncing the ball."That's hot."My body suffens so badly even the sweat doesn't roll down my skin. It's Ander. Even if he didn't say anything, the sweet scent of his perfume would've given him away."What are you doing here?"He takes cautious steps towards me. I try my best impression of nonchalance but only know I'm deceiving myself. My eyes take in the beauty that was-and still is Anderson Matheos. "This is a public space Vicky. I'm pretty sure many people have access to it."That's not entirely true but I say nothing. I can't because my eyes are completely trained on his exposed chest. He chuckles. "You couldn't even hide your stare. You're almost drooling."Even though I know I'm not, I still wipe my face. "Then I'll leave you yeah? Enjoy."Ander gr

Ander

BARELY 2 YEARS AGO.My alarm has got to be the loudest thing on the earth as it's able to wake me up when I want to die. I don't even know why I set it considering I don't have any place to be. There's a knock on the other side of the door and no matter how much I hold my breath, I know it's not her. It's never going to be her. Instead, it's the maid, Morgan."Hey Ander. Good morning. How are you feeling?"I look at her, shrugging my shoulders slightly irritated. My sister just died, I'm not supposed to be jumping for joy right now. "Well, your mom said I should get you ready for the summer camp she told you about. I'm sorry I didn't know else we'd have packed since."I smile and she smiles. Morgan has been trying to sleep with me for months now. I'm no saint because I actually gave in once. I then realized women aren't just for me. Morgan still insists it's because she did something wrong and begs me for a redo. That's weird. "Well," I say to break the one sided sexual tension suf

Third Person's POV

Vicky stares at the door in front of him. He raises his hand to knock but sets it back down. Why on earth would he knock on his own door? He can hear arguing on the other side. His hand raises again, this time to open the door. Magnus is on the kitchen stool, his head is down. Gideon has a hand on his back, Jesse is zoning out. Kyle is the first one to walk up to him. "Vicky..." Kyle says walking up to him. The others stare at him, eyes possessing different emotions. "I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry."Magnus stands up so fast, the force pushes the stool down. Vicky's shoulders tremble a little. "So tell me what exactly you're sorry for? For sleeping with Archer? Is that what you're sorry for?""Yes. I'm sorry for that and everything. For lying to you. I disregarded your feelings."Magnus stares at Vicky turn to a crying puddle. He screams and hurls the glass cup in his hand across the room. It shatters but only Vicky is fazed. "You...," all the crying makes him run out of brea

Vicky

It's been 2 days since anybody has come back from drinking. I try convincing myself it's because they're hopping from party to party, bar to bar. It's not true though. They're all ignoring me. I'm so out of it that I drag myself out of bed to make breakfast at a little over 5 pm. Ander is there in the kitchenette making a cereal. I freeze. I've been so sleep deprived, I've started hallucinating. The delicious smell of toast doesn't smell fake though. "Sleep good baby?" My imagination comes to me with a peck on my nose. Shakily, my hands touch his chest. I withdraw it so fast like I was burnt. "You're real?""Expecting otherwise? Eggs or sausages to go with your toast?" I must still be dreaming. And my dream turns into a nightmare when the door handle turns and the rest of my roommates walk in. Magnus goes for a nonchalant look as his gaze moves from Ander to me. "Mag-" He raises his hand to stop me from talking. I stop. "I'm breaking up with you. You never cared about me or val

Vicky

The long awaited semester break is here. I'm the first person to be awake because I can't wait to get away from all the mess here. As early as 6 am, I'm already making breakfast. Magnus comes to the kitchenette thinking it's one of the others. The disappointment on his face makes me wince a little. When he sees I want to say something, he turns and walks back inside. I shrug and continue with my pancakes. In all honesty, I couldn't even blame him. Magnus was the example of a perfect boyfriend and I decided to screw it up, because according to him, I'm a slut. Breakfast is ready by the time Kyle comes out. I offer him a little smile before digging in. "No syrup on your pancakes? Did the sun rise from the North?" Kyle manages to joke. I know he'd much rather we kiss and make up and be one happy dorm again. I know that's not possible. Ander isn't wanted here, and I'm not daft to know the feeling is mutual for me. "Oh. I didn't notice." I get up slowly to get the chocolate syrup from

Ander

The break is finally here which means it does nothing to change my schedule since I haven't bothered with school for a while now. My mother is in one of her moods and I'm bored. I pull my phone out of my pocket, almost cringing at how foreign it feels. I have been so detached from the world outside the 4 corners of my house that I found out about the break literally 3 seconds ago. My phone swarms with messages upon messages. From Ria, the professor, Johnny and randos I know not. Having no particular use for the phone, my finger, by its own sheer will goes to Vicky's page. I- I mean, it swipes and scrolls through all his pictures. I let my eyes linger on some more than others. One of them being him posting the sluttiest picture in social media history. I know that's an exaggeration but that's how I feel. Vicky is clad in thongs, that is visible through the netty pantyhose he has on. There are fur boots on his feet that match the fur jacket on. I shamelessly save the pictures. All 1
