* Rachel *I started counting the days, hours, and even minutes that passed. Monday to Thursday felt like a year. The lessons wouldn't fully sink in; it was tough to study, and half my brain only thought about Lucian.He texted me once a day. Short, like always but it was something that I had been looking forward to every moment I opened my eyes in the morning."Did you eat?, No boys?""Good, Go to sleep." I stared at that "Good" for an hour and smiled this time.The professor talked about post-colonial theory and I wrote Lucian's name in the margin of my notebook. Little flower, his sweet endearment for me. I touched my lips when no one was looking. I could still feel him, not the confused kiss from his bedroom that night, but the one in my apartment.Lucian is my first kiss, and I swear to God he is the only man I would do it with.Friday morning I didn't go to class; I just can't anymore. How could I go to school when my heart feels like it's going to explode? I knew the professors
