came with me a few times, even though Mother was against it. It was good to have spent time with him. I filled him in about Sophia and he told me to not let the chance pass me by and get her back.
I saw Sophia everywhere. Every other day in English, basketball practices, and games. She took my breath away. I missed everything about her. The way she’d laugh and how her hair always got in her face made me smile. I wanted to be around her all the time. I purposely took the long way to classes so that I could pass the bench in hopes I’d see her. Unfortunately every time I saw her, Kyle was right there by her side. I fucking wanted to punch his cocky face and let him know that I was back and he could get the hell out of her life. Seeing them together pissed me off. When I saw his hands on her legs or on her face, the urge to get up and knock him out was all I could think about. He wouldn’t leave Sophia’s side so any alone time with her went out the window.
I sat in science class trying to go through my notes for the unit test. Between basketball, other classes, and Optimax, studying was nonexistent. I was smart enough to bullshit my way through tests but I barely understood anything in this unit. I took my cup of coffee and took a few sips. Black coffee was the best. I reviewed the power point slide notes and it seemed to make sense.
Someone put their hand on my arm and nudged me. “Last minute studying?”
I looked up and leaned back in my chair. “Erin.”
She sat down next to me and crossed her legs. She grabbed my coffee and drank it. “Ugh black coffee? Gross.”
“Why are you always taking my drinks?” It was cute that she took my food and drinks. Sophia used to do the same thing.
She smiled. “Because I can. So anyways, how’s mission ‘winning back Sophia’ coming along?”
I shook my head. “It’s not.”
“God, you suck at this crap. You know she has class in this building too, right? Well in like an hour. Dr. Murphy. World War II.”
My throat suddenly went dry. Dr. Murphy helped me a few times this semester and I haven’t seen him in a while. I needed to see her when she was alone. Even just seeing her smile would make my day better. “Thanks Erin.”
She grabbed my hand. “I believe in you guys. Talk to you later.”
“Later.”
Dr. Yaples came in and passed out the test so we could begin. “After you are done, please bring up your test and have a great day.”
I knew this. The test was placed in front of me and I started answering the questions. After almost an hour, I was done. Damn, that test was easier than I thought. I handed in my test and wished Dr. Yaples a good day.
I headed down the hall to Dr. Murphy’s class. I took a deep breath and went in. He wasn’t in the class yet but Sophia was in her seat. She looked beautiful as usual. I stood there staring at her. I wanted to hear what was in her heart. I wanted to feel her soul. Her head popped up and our eyes connected. I smiled at her and noticed that her breathing seemed to deepen. My smile grew wider and my eyes lit up. The look on her face proved that she did miss me and wanted me around. Dr. Murphy came to class and shook my hand. I asked if I could speak to him and he placed his hand on my shoulder. When I walked out of class with Dr. Murphy, her eyes followed me and that was all I needed to know.
I waited until she was done with class. I went to the café and ordered another cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin. I went back to the building and looked at my watch. Just a few more minutes and Sophia would be done with class. I finished my muffin and drank my coffee. I saw some movement in the classroom and the door opened. I watched Sophia leaving class and followed her. I needed to talk to her again. I followed her and when we made it outside, I took my chance and jogged to get in front of her. I was walking backwards when I got to where I wanted to be. The expression on her face was priceless. She was shocked but
