บท 36: Chapter 35
New York City…
Avery's pov ;
It has been two weeks full of research and school work , pretty exhausting and I haven't been to Alba in a while too , I miss Ethera and Heizel . I just finished my history research work for the day , now I am headed to my ancient Literature class , I never really liked the class because I share the class with my cousin Helga and Lucas , ugh . I just can't stand being in the same room as them. At least I have this class only once a week for 1 hour which is okay , I can bear that.
Weirdly Helga has not been attending class lately , and I say weird because I know for a fact she loves literature lectures and wouldn't miss any .
It's not that I care about what she does but I realized her absence because I spent very peaceful weeks in class which doesn't usually happen with her around .
Lucas as usual has been trying to approach me because Helga is not here which I find pathetic and dumb of him to think I would fall for any of it.
For example every single time class ended and I would head out , he would insist on walking me to the parking even if I refused many times saying i was with someone else , referring to Eric who comes pick me up every other day . That didn't do it but last week Eric was waiting for me in the parking lot by his car and Lucas was closely tagging along with me , when I spotted Eric and we made eye contact I told him that Lucas was bugging me and Eric being a sweetheart came and grabbed me by the hand and hid me behind his back , a bit dramatic but still works , he told Lucas off and told him we were together and that he should leave me alone or else he will beat him up . Again dramatic but did the job.
Since then Lucas has not tried anything, a matter of fact he doesn't even make eye contact with me no more. *laugh.
Right now we are learning the ancient Egyptian language , more specifically how to read and interpret hieroglyphics , which is cool . We will be going to Egypt next semester to see them in the pharaoh's tombs , I look forward to that . Yes I am a geek of historical things , shut up it's cool.
"Okay you guys , this is the end of the class . Remember to read the next chapter in the egypto-guide book for next week's test" the professor yells , he is very loud honestly and a bit hyper active but it is quite charming and makes the class lively.
"Hey Avery" I look behind and see a random girl from my literature class calling me.
"Yeah , what's up?" I ask as I put my laptop in my bag.
"You and Helga are cousins right?" She ask
"Yes , why?"
"Well she has been missing all her classes this past week and as much as she is not a school enthusiast, she wouldn't miss this many classes . Do you maybe have an idea on what she is up to?" She asks worriedly ,
"I honestly have no idea, me and her are not close so I never know what she has going on, but maybe try asking Lucas since they are dating. Or ask her roommate" I honestly try to give her references but I don't know that much about Helga's life and close friends so I am the last person they should be asking.
"Okay, thank you for the info" I nod and she goes her way while I get out of the class.
Where am I heading to now? Professor Gary's class to get my midterm test grades.
I want to get them personally so I can get his comments too.
When I reach near the class , I hear yelling , sounds like people are arguing.
Should I go see or wait outside. Let me try seeing who it is first , I am too curious.
"What do you mean by that?" A female voice yells , I know that voice though.
When I look through the window I see it is Sheila and the professor arguing. Oh , what is going on now?
"I mean that you should be more mature about this, it is a hard situation I am in right now and you have to understand me" the professor replies.
"That is what I have been doing with this whole situation Gary! Even though you might take me as a kid sometimes, I understand that you can't change certain things in life , I just want to understand why you would hide this important piece of information from me" oh she is really mad,
"I didn't think it was important to tell you , it's not like you would find yourself confronted to them at any point in the future, our future" he replies trying to keep himself calm.
"Not important? So it's not important for you girlfriend to know you have a son with your ex-wife?" She angrily spits at him.
He has a son with her? I thought it was very much in the past and they didn't have any children involved. That is messed up.
I think it is better if I come back another time , they seems to have things to fix and figure out and I don't want to eavesdrop too much , it's not my business. I will wait for Sheila to tell me if she feels like it.
I go to the parking lot and meet up with Eric as usual , it has become a routine at this point. Even though Eric's campus is all the way across New York and far from mine , he still comes to pick me up and sometimes drops me to school , it's one of the sweet things he does for me aside from being my therapist, sugar daddy and motivator . He is just the bestest best friend to have , after Sheila of course.
Ever since that almost kiss though , it feels like there is constant tension between us , even though we don't talk about it . We never addressed the thing and I think it's because that would create an awkward environment and that would break something in our friendship which I believe we both want to avoid.
I don't want to loose Eric , whether it be as a friend or something else .
We talk for a bit in front of my apartment complex before he excuses himself because he had family business to attend and I go upstairs to wait for Sheila to come back so that I can know what is going on with her .
Due to me being occupied with the whole Alba and my grades situation, I have been quite absent from Sheila's life and I feel like I've been slacking off in our friendship.
I have to redeem myself.
Hours later , the front door opens and Sheila comes in with red puffy eyes, he made her cry.
I ran up to her and give her a big hug and she immediately breaks down in tears.
"Shhh , I'm here . You'll be fine" I try my best to calm her down.
This will be a long night and by the end of it I hope I won't need to go kill a certain professor.
