I push my way through the crowd of students swarming in the hallway. I hate in between classes when you have to rush to your next class and others seems to be taking their time. I walk past a couple who are busily flirting while walking through the hallway. I automatically made face. Can’t they do their thing somewhere?
I continued running up the third floor for my next class. I have to get there before my instructor. Ma’am Rich doesn’t tolerate tardiness and I don’t want to go to the Students Affairs Office just to get an excuse slip.
I am about to turn to the hallway when someone grabbed my arm.
“Hey,”
I look up to a smiling pair of brown eyes.
“Hey,” I greeted back.
“Going to your next class?” Luke asked.
“Yup. You?”
“We’re getting lunch,”
I glanced at the girl beside Luke. He is protectively holding her hand with his left while his right is holding her books. We’re about the same age but she’s a fourth year medtech now, same course as me. I am slightly taller than her but she has the body. She’s beautiful with her long curly hair and white uniform. Luke’s girlfriend politely smiled at me and I did the same.
“Okay,” I turned back to Luke. “See you around.”
“Take care,” he said before they went down the stairs.
I know I should start walking to the other way but I just stood there and watched them walk away. I watched him walk away with her. I watched him walk away with a piece of me, I cannot name.
He’s the guy next door I never knew and I didn’t care, not that I care about a lot of things. He’s the guy I only smile at but never really talked to. But you see, we are humans. All we ever yearn for is to be cared, to be loved, to be someone. But we often look for it in the wrong places. That’s why we are often left broken.
He was a nobody but that night when I saw stars on a moonless sky, I found myself in the wrong love story.
