LINDSAY

I woke up the next morning feeling fresh and wide-awake, which was surprising after the drama of the night before. Of course, it could have had something to do with the fact that I’d slept until eleven. I looked to the other side of the room -- Rachel’s bed was made, and she was nowhere to be found.

She must have left this morning, and I was sleeping so soundly that I hadn’t noticed. There was a note on my door from Adam, letting me know that he’d stopped by.

He left his number and asked me to call him and let him know I was okay.

I sent him a quick text, telling him I was fine, and that I hadn’t been feeling well last night, but that I was better this morning. He wrote me back, saying he was glad I felt better and asking if I wanted to grab lunch, but I told him I had a lot of work to do and would have to take a rain check.

It wasn’t a lie. I had two afternoon classes, and then I needed to barricade myself in my room and work on my essay for Dr. Klaxton.

And that’s just what I did.

I went to my classes, grabbed lunch from the dining hall and brought it back to my room.

And then I got into a zone.

I wrote and rewrote my essay, going over and over every word, every sentence, every argument. I wrote about how it wasn’t the exact knowledge of organic chemistry that was important, but that the mere activity of learning something challenging increased our confidence, making us want to learn more.

When Rachel came in at around six, I could tell she wanted to ask me how I was doing. After I broke down to her last night, I’m sure she was curious.

But instead, she just nodded her head at me and opened her own books.

We were like two studying fiends.

At around seven, after a quick trip to the dining hall for some carb-loading in the form of pasta and breadsticks, I was back in my room, a fresh mug of coffee in front of me.

I reread my essay.

It was good.

I knew that.

But I didn’t know if it was good enough. Was everyone else going to write about how the mere act of learning something was good for you? What I’d thought was so original now seemed trite. This was Cambridge. I needed to bring my A game.

I frowned and thought about it.

I still had time to write another essay.

If I could come up with a different stance, I’d have this one, plus the new one. I could decide which one to use tomorrow, before my class started at ten.

I pulled up a new blank document and took a sip of my coffee.

There was a knock on my door, and I jumped.

So did Rachel.

“Jesus,” I said. “That scared me.”

I went to the door, expecting it to be Adam.

But it wasn’t.

It was Justin. A flash of intense emotions went through me. I was excited that he’d actually come looking for me again.
