#Chapter5

Remi and Sam haven't left me since we got back home. I told them it was necessary but they weren't listening to me. I shouldn't complain really, they were just being good friends and I should be more appreciative of them.

As soon as I got back to the bar remi took one look at me and she came barrelling towards me.

Alex walked in not long after and it was obvious he was in a foul mood. I shouted after him when he sharply turned to the exit ripping the jacket from his shoulders.

No need to guess where he's going.

Walking into the union the next morning I wasn't surprised to see Alex sitting at a table with his laptop open. He had his head down with the same cap he wore last night.

The chatter in the room was enough to keep me distracted. Some kid was making a speech about some event he was doing. But was getting blatantly ignored.

I walked over to the little Shop and searched for a snack. I've just been in a 2-hour lecture and seminar and I'm practically brain dead from learning about tourism management.

Since that's what I'm studying.

I took a cheese and chicken panini and a Mountain Dew from the fridge before paying for them with my card.

"Freya" I heard Alex's voice from behind me. I turned to face Alex, He stood before me holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"Look, you left this at the pub last night I thought you might need it" he tells me handing over the piece of paper.

I glance at it. It was a piece of paper which had an address on it. I took it from him.

"Thanks, I actually couldn't afford to lose this" I say remembering that this is the address to my friend's new flat in Cardiff.

"No worries " he mumbles before taking off again.

He left with another guy leaving me standing there like a weirdo just staring at his back.

I closed my eyes before heading over to an empty table near the window.

I caught a glimpse of him walking outside. The other guy grabbed at his shoulder laughing with him. It was quite amusing.

" he's just dreamy isn't he" a girl who was sitting a few seats away from me says. I look over and she was sitting with her friend I assume whilst staring out towards the guys.

"Don't need to say anything it's clear in your eyes" she adds on chuckling to herself.

"Well I'm not blind so yeah he's hot" I tell her since I know that's what she wanted to hear.

"Please tell me you're not some crazy girlfriend of his, I thought I'd left that in school" I say being a bit brave in saying that. I mean she doesn't look crazy but you never know these days.

She glances at her friend before laughing at me. Slamming her hands down on the table.

"that's funny but no I know his friend since I live with him, I've been out with them a few times" she explains to me.

Meanwhile grabbing her things and coming to join my table.

She wasn't rude she brought her friend over too.

"we saw him with you last night I assumed you were together" the other girl says picking at her scarf.

Now I'm the one laughing. I looked at her like she was crazy.

"no way, he just found me after I got in some trouble with a guy that's all" I explain to her. I'm still thinking about our little thing earlier, why was he being so weird with me.

"everyone kind of assumes Alex is a dick but he really is just a nice guy" yeah, I don't object that. He was really nice to me last night.

The fact he said he was never going to tell anyone made me think differently.

"Yeah he was nice " I tell her. She has this knowing look on her face.

Not long after our conversation did someone come over to my table. I recognise him from the rugby team.

" hey you're the girl from training and last night, what's your name?" The guy says turning to me.

Well I love being recognised. Thinking about it I should have brought a disguise.

Not.

"that's me, its Freya "I say smiling up at him, knowing fully well that this guy was the one that gave me that dirty comment at practice yesterday.

He watched my smile drop instantly, I hope he realises just so I can't make this really awkward for him because that just the person that I am "look I'm sorry for being rude the other day, I tend to be quite the jerk" one of the girls scoffed earning a glare from him.

"since Alex obviously likes you, you should come to our game tonight these girls will be there anyway" he plants his hands on their shoulders obviously making a statement here.

"would love to really" I say rolling my eyes but not obviously it was kind of like in my head. "but I have loads of work to do" yeah, I get it what a fucking lame excuse.

They all literally gave the what the fuck look.

"right... well if you suddenly don't have work" could he be any more obvious, he should have quoted that.

"just come, I'm sure you'll know loads of people there and plus Alex will like having you there "he finishes off he barely gives me time to reply before sauntering off outside. Did I even catch his name?

Why does he think Alex would want me there it's not like were friends or anything? Basically, blanked me out this morning.

In actual fact I've done all the work I need to do but I planned to call my brother tonight to help him with his personal statement since its practically applying time and Hes done jack shit.

After getting the girls numbers and finally knowing their names we all separated because we had lectures to go to. Thank god this is my last one of the day.

I'm so lucky that I have tomorrow off after today's schedule. Who the fuck has 3 lectures in one day like are they trying to kill me.

The bus that I had to get back was pure torture there was loads of people on this bus and I had to sit next to some weird Asian girl who was practically sinking into her seat when I tried to make light conversation.

Why are the international students so difficult.

I barely finished having dinner with my flatmates when my brother was calling me. I excused myself and took the call in my room.

I have already read over his statement and honestly it was already good he just needed to add like a section.

The kid wanted to do sport management in uni and barely mentioned his sport activities which he has done.

"you're literally a life saviour sis" he says saving the edited version to his laptop. Yeah, I know bro no need to shout it loud.

"yeah... why do I feel like your rushing to head off don't you have like a gazillion assignments to do" I swear he told me he was doing this massive assessment this week. I could be wrong though.
