As usual, I would appreciate any and all feedback. Iโm happy to once more go on this adventure with all of you! Thank you in advance for your comments and for reblogging โค๏ธ
Everly has always been impulsive. And reckless. And beautiful. More often than not, the last trait bailed her out of the trouble the former got her into.
You donโt envy her. You could never live that lifestyle. Never throw yourself so carelessly into the unknown.
Opposites attract. Thatโs what they say. Since your first day in college, youโve been almost inseparable. If it wasnโt for her, you never wouldโve done anything with your youth. And without you, she likely wouldโve gotten in way too deep by now.
You sit on her sofa, poring over the philosophy textbook that makes you crosseyed. You thought it would be an easy elective. Turns out, you donโt get any of it. Itโs all a bunch of โwhat ifโ and โwhy?โ but thereโs really no answers.
You sigh as Everly giggles at her phone. She never studies. Itโs a miracle because her GPA is the same as hers and she barely even makes it to her lectures.
Is that pretty privilege? Youโve heard of it but you always shrugged it off as misogyny or even just jealousy. Youโre sure life would be easier if you were like her; blond, five-ten, and blue eyed. Still, you canโt blame her for a roll of the genetic dice.
โFortelli is going to gut me,โ you groan and slap your notebook. โWhy do I have to care what some medieval priest said about animals?โ
She looks over at you and makes a face. โOof, weekly quizzes? Fun. You know they answer keys are all online.โ
โWhat?โ You scoff.
โOh yeah. Guy hasnโt updated his lectures since before we were born,โ she chirps. โI didnโt have to do all that. I just put on some nice lip glossโโ She pauses and her eyes widen. She stares at her phone. โUm, one sec.โ
She stands up and answers the phone. โHi, daddy.โ Her voice raises several octaves in a singsong. โUh huh. No, thatโs strangeโฆโ She heads for the door. โI donโt know.โ She laughs nervously. โNo, daddy, it wasnโtโโ
She opens the door and gasps. You glance over as she backs up. A man steps into the dorm and drops the phone from his ear. He taps the screen without looking and tucks it into his pocket.
โDaddy, what are you doing here?โ She juggles her phone nervously then hides it behind her back. Her lock screen is here and Charles; that guy sheโs been sneaking around with.
Her dad crosses his arms. You donโt move or say a word. He has that stringency to him that makes you feel like even you did something wrong.
You donโt know what you expected but theyโre a lot alike; both tall, vibrant blue eyes, attractive. Heโs older and thereโs bolts of grey around his temples and through his beard. He must be the same age as some of your professors but doesnโt show it as much.
โTen thousand.โ He growls. โEvie,โ he snips. โWhat did you do?โ
โDaddy, nothing,โ she rocks as she twists her ankles around each other. โReally. Iโm being good.โ
โI didnโt raise a liar.โ He retorts. โNow tell meโโ
Your textbook slips and you catch it with a scuffle of paper. You gulp as he glances over at you. His brows arch.
โHm,โ he hums. โI.. letโs talk privately.โ
โDaddy, itโs probably just a mistakeโโ
โNow,โ he points her into the next room.
She lives in one of the bougie buildings. You have a single room to her full bath, kitchen, bedroom, and living room. You can't even covet it as she's all too willing to share her spoils.
She pouts and drags her feet to the bedroom. His eyes longer on you and narrow before he follows. You suddenly feel very out of place. It isn't a new feeling, just much more intense.
You slide forward and shut the textbook. Maybe you should go. You planned on staying the night but the campus buses run for a bit longer.
Then again, you can't just run out. You teeter on the edge, of the couch, of uncertainty. You can hear their voices but not their words.
One sentence booms through clearly. โARE YOU SERIOUS?โ
You're having flashbacks of your own father. He never spared you any shame though. He would've scolded you right then and there and if he needed to give you a smack, he wouldn't shy away from that either.
The door swings open and you flinch. Her father stomps out and slows as he sees you. His lashes flick and his cheek dimples. His throat is all locked up, tendons bulging. He nods and storms out of the dorm.
You sit in silence as you wait. Everly emerges with a sigh. She shakes her head.
โGod, my dad is such an ass sometimes. I told him, he'll get the deposit back,โ she rolls her eyes.
You stare at her. She's entirely unfazed by the anger. You chew your lip and look down at your hands, clamped tightly around your books. Your joints ache at the tension.
โOh,โ you eke out. The slam of the door still echoes in your head.
โUgh, please. Don't let him ruin the night,โ she flops down with her phone. โHe'll come around. I mean, Charles is one of his.โ
You don't know what she means exactly. One of hisโฆ what? You don't ask.
โUm, okay,โ you murmur. โI can go ifโโ
โWhy?โ She asks dismissively. โWhatever. He reminded me anyway. You have to come to my appointment!โ She squeals and kicks her feet.
โAppointment?โ You wonder.ย
โWell, secrets out so I may as well enjoy it!โ She claps her hands around her phone. โMe and Charles are getting married! I booked the bridal boutique and I have a full Pinterest board of ideas!โ
โMarried?โ You gulp. โBut weโre only in second year.โ
โUh huh? And itโs boring. I donโt need school. My dad just wants me to get a degree so he can look like such a responsible father.โ
โHm, right,โ you mumble.ย
Sometimes, she doesnโt realise how easy she has it. Not the way she looks, or that she is so outgoing. No, she doesnโt worry about tuition or her rent in a place like this. Not with her dad simply storming off because she spent ten thousand dollars; seems like it will stay spent and sheโll get exactly what she wants.
โI know lots of guys like Charles. If youโre interested. Theyโd love a sweet thing like you,โ she smirks. โOh, they just love taking care of us. All youโd have to do is let me put something cute on you.โ
You shrug and slowly open your textbook. โI really need to ace this quiz,โ you say.
