Chapter 15

I wonder whether I had been dreaming about Callum comforting me the very next morning. He’s nowhere to be seen and I wonder whether he stayed the full night or slipped out as soon as I fell asleep; probably the latter. I could kick myself for showing him some weakness. Why did I tell him about Willow? I know the information was sparse but it was still more than what I have divulged to any of the girls. Why did he have to insist on taking me home? I have no idea how to react around him when I see him next now. I spend the entirety of the following day in bed. It was by far the worst hangover I have ever had to endure and I am not in any hurry to have a repeat performance.

It’s been a few days since I told Tate about Neil and told Callum about Willow. It’s safe to say I have been avoiding them both. It’s been easy to avoid Callum. How am I supposed to avoid Tate when I have to go to his lecture? I didn’t go to his lecture this week and he has sent me two messages apologizing for the way he reacted about what I told him. I haven’t replied to him yet. I know I cannot stay annoyed at him forever and I can’t keep avoiding his lectures either; not if I want to pass anyway.

I’m studying in the library even though I have a laptop back at the flat. I’ve used the pretense that I need Emilia’s help to get her here. She’s talked me through my assignment and has not said a word about me needing her to do so. She is either wondering how the hell I got onto my course if I needed to have the assignment explained to me by someone who is not even on my course or she has figured out I have done it to spend time with her. She’s such a closed book I have no idea what she is thinking.

Emilia seems okay. She’s kind of reverted to the shy girl we all first met. She declines every time we ask her to go out and she never looks twice at any of the guys around campus. She doesn’t even look at Tom anymore. She seems focused on her studies. Emilia doesn’t seem like she’s depressed but I am determined to keep a watchful eye. I never ask her if she’s okay. I know she is not likely to admit it if she is on a dark path. I keep watching her and hope I see the signs this time around if there is a problem.

My eyes drift to the door of the library. Callum has walked in with his girlfriend. I know I have been told her name a million times but it’s like if I don’t have a name to the face then what I feel for Callum is okay. My attraction to him
