Broken Vow

3

Thank God it's Friday, school hasn't been that stressful at least I didn't have to be so perfect just for anyone's sake.

I ticked off the last task on my schedule as I sigh and landed on my bed.
"Phew..." I said swiping the invisible sweat off my face,just for exaggeration sake

Adjusting to my new environment wasn't really bad.

I've made few friends...If two friends can be considered as 'few',my roommate and her friend Ella.

So the girls and I planned to go out for a little celebration 'for a successful yet stressful 1st 5weekdays in college'.

Well... I don't really get it, it's like we're going out to eat or something on a Friday night.

I laid on my bed thinking about everything that happened from day 1.
I stood up and went to the window lost in thought. Trying to remember him.

'Mr captivating eyes yet with unknown name'.

"Penny for your thoughts"A voice brought me back to earth

"Hmm"I said unconsciously while shaking my head

"Just came to get you before the restaurant run out of chips" Ella replied

If there one thing I know so well about Ella is that she's a big fan of chips and peradventure she gets kidnapped,chips would surely be the only way she was lured.

"Then let's get going"

We trekked down chatting along the road. It's kind of true,when 2 or more people trek a long distance less time is actually consumed. The same distance I trekked on my first day didn't look so far anymore.

We got to the front of the same restaurant I kept my luggage the other day and I couldn't help but smile remembering how I met 'mr...

"Do you always go off in a conversation like that?"Chloe asked.
"Sorry.This doesn't really happen at all times,it is just..."

How do I explain to my new friends that this particular spot where we are standing presently reminds me of someone. Someone I can't remember but remember.Now that's insane.

"You did it again" said Ella, impatient because her chips.

We walked into the restaurant and got a table far away from sight.
I volunteered to get the food which didn't take so long to get because the restaurant was just getting crowded.

We sat and talked about random things and we even got to know one another better while enjoying our snacks.

"Hey babe" A tall guy said while walking towards our direction.

With a quick calculation, I knew instantly who he was. Ella won't just keep quiet about her boyfriend who happens to be her childhood sweetheart for a second.

She introduced him officially to me and we exchanged pleasantries.

We didn't talk much because my phone rang and I had to pick up, I excused myself and went out of the restaurant to receive the call.

My aunt Anna was the one calling although she texted me throughout the week but she promised to give me a call later.

Aunt Anna is my mum's younger sister and they're pretty close. She understands mum better than any of her children.

I'm aunt Anna's favorite and she understands me well than my parents. We are so close that you'd think she's my mum,but unfortunately she isn't.

"Hey Fresher how's school?" She said in an excited tone. She always know how and when to cheer me up.

I gave her update about how my first weekdays was and she was just so attentive. She teased me when I told her about 'mr captivating eyes'.

We spoke and she promised to call me later since she was actually going on a date with her fiance

I hung up and walked back towards the restaurant with my aunt words ringing in my ears

"Yeah the campus is big but what if you guys meet again?"

Still lost in thought, I bumped into someone coming out from the restaurant and my phone dropped.

"Gosh... I'm so sorry" The deep voice said as he was helping me to pick up my phone.

How come that voice sound so familiar?

We raised our head at the same and our forehead collided.
"Ouch"I said while rubbing my head
Why will someone have a skull as hard as this? I thought

I stood up and I was given the shock of my life.

There he was staring right down at me with those captivating eyes of his. I was held in his gaze as I stared back in shock.
"OMG how's that even possible? This is a big school and we meet again?"
I was screaming in my head.

"I'm sorry about your phone and your head,thank God it isn't broken" He said as he took my hands and placed my phone on my palm.

All I could do was stare when our eyes met,he held me captive by his gaze.

"Ahem..."A voice broke me away from my thought.
We both looked at the cause of disruption at the same time.
A tall guy almost his height walked up to him and whispered in his ear.

They both glanced at me, he nodded and walked away with his friend.
Without any introduction again.
"Awkward"I thought.

"Nikky?" Chloe shouted while shaking me out of my thought

"Yeah?" I replied with a small voice

"Now,there's something definitely wrong. You keep going out of earth every single time ever since we got here" She said.

I looked at her with a pleading eyes so that she would just let it go but she was definitely in for a conservation about it.
"Fine... I will tell you later" I told her.

We walked back into the restaurant and I took a seat next to Chloe. I enjoyed my food while listening to the argument going on between Ella,her boyfriend Noah and Chloe.

It was fucking hilarious to watch. They were almost stabbing themselves with a fork, for something that doesn't even make sense.

'Fries taste better when you actually dip it inside ketchup not when you pour it on top of the fries'.

  -_- Excuse you? Isn't it the same food and different ways of enjoying it that we're talking about? This is ridiculous.
The argument was spicy hot and I was just staring randomly because I'm lost. What are they, 5?.

To be sincere,it was actually fun watching their heated argument.
Until it was cut short,when he came towards our direction.
"Omg!!! I said as my heart skipped a beat out of fear perhaps.

"Hey Jace"Chloe said.
I looked around until I realized that his name is Jace...
"Nice" I couldn't help but smile.

"Oops... Silly me,meet my roommate Nikky" She said while looking at me like she knew something.

"Oh...Hi,hello" I said with my brain jumbled.

"Hey... It's a pleasure to meet you, Chloe and Ella wouldn't just shut up about you" He said while stretching his hand forward for an handshake with his killer smile.

We shook hands and I wonder why he never acted like we've met before.
Well, whatever at least I got the name of 'Mr.Captivating Eyes'

Isn't it just a small world... He's close friends with Chloe and Ella.
At least this is getting resolved after all...Now I've got to say 'thank you' for helping me the other day, maybe later though.
