I STAY AT THE CAFÉ until six o’clock and I’m able to accomplish absolutely nothing. It’s amazing how time just gets swallowed up when you’re letting your brain turn to jello absorbing pointless facts on the internet. It’s a drug for sure. They should call it Cybercaine or Webamphetamine or Heronet, or Webjuana, or... nope. I’m done.

I trudge my way back to my dorm, knowing I’ve only got about five minutes before Trevor is planning on meeting me. Dread sweeps through me again. I’d rather shave my eyeballs with a blunt razor.

Pushing the button to the fourth floor, I hum into the silence of the elevator, shoving myself away from the wall when the doors open. Slothfully, I glide my way toward my room. I’m a couple meters away when I pull my gaze up from the carpet and meet a set of emerald eyes. It’s obvious he’s been watching me slug my way down the hallway, leaving all my courage and security in a trail of slime behind me. Now I stand before him with trembling fingers and a limp heart.

“Hey,” he says quietly.

I’m frozen in place for a moment as I take in his casual stance. He’s leaning against the wall near my door with arms crossed over his chest and a reserved smile playing at his lips.

“Hi,” I respond as I brush past him to unlock the door.

I already know that Mercy is gone because Tuesdays are normally jam-packed with classes for her, and she’s out late since she has no morning classes on Wednesday.

“Come on in,” I say as I lead the way into my room and flip on the lights. Stepping out of my shoes, I throw myself across my bed and bury my head in my pillow. “Ready?” I mumble into the fabric.

He laughs behind me. “I am, yeah.” The bed dips slightly with his weight. “Are you?”

I groan as I roll myself onto my back and peek at him through lazy eyes. He looks so comfortable as he leans against the wall with one leg stretched across the end of the bed and the other dangling off the side.

“Ready as I’ll ever be.” I push myself up into a seated position and snag my laptop from my bag. “All right, Toots Magoots. Let’s do this.” I yawn. All enthusiasm has left the premises.
