Chapter Five

Three weeks had passed and spring semester had started back up again. Jillian was back in the dorm, and I had the displeasure of telling her everything that had happened, from my amazing trip, to losing Roman, and to the two guys I was so lucky to be able to go on dates with. She was especially disgusted with Robert, and said she would’ve gone crazy on his ass if she had been there. She was shocked I didn’t do more, saying I should’ve slapped him and cussed him out, but I wasn’t thinking of that at the time of being groped.

I went on with my classes as usual, with my schedule being much freer and open compared to last semester. Since I wasn’t working at the store, I made sure my schedule wasn’t all crammed together and stuffy. I wanted to be free, and casually go to class without feeling like I was in high school taking classes back-to-back every single day of the week. My first class of the semester was with a man that scarily enough looked just like Robert. My heart dropped and I almost threw up as he walked into the room, but he introduced himself as Mr. Morrow, and my nerves soon dissipated as I realized it wasn’t Robert at all, just his doppelganger.

I sat through my class doodling random little pictures all over the page to make it look as though I was taking notes. The classroom was rather large, and there was no way a feeble old professor could see me drawing pictures of mountains and pine trees. Thoughts of Aspen were still somehow fresh in my mind, and they were the last remnants of memories I had with Roman. The trip was the turning point in our relationship, or lack thereof, and I wanted to remember it happily in its infinite glory.

I had to go to the bursar’s office after class to check on my tuition. Roman said he would still pay everything, and with only five days until the deadline for non -loan payments, I had to make sure he actually did. The last thing I needed was to go on as usual and get a letter saying I’d been dropped from my classes and dorm for failure to pay my charges. Being kicked out of this university wasn’t in the cards for me.

I walked inside the bursar’s office, which was situated just inside the student center in the center of campus. There were a few other students there, as this office also handled student financial aid, who looked clearly in distress as they were almost crying on the phone with their parents, who I could also hear through the speakers pressed against their ears.

“Can I help you?” the receptionist asked.

“Hi, I’m here to check to see my balance. I think it should’ve been paid, but I just wanted to verify and double check,” I said politely. There was no mistaking the worker was fed up with work this time of season.
