✤ Adrian ✤
I had completely forgotten that I wouldn’t see Sera today. Now, normally on Monday afternoons, the campus had a strange texture to it, a mix between leftover weekend fatigue and the slow crawl toward the chaos of midterms. I usually didn’t mind it. Routine helped me stay sane, especially now that my personal life no longer resembled anything structured or predictable. But today, I found myself unable to focus on anything. Every essay I graded, every note I scribbled, every email I wrote was interrupted by one thought.
Sera.
I shouldn’t have let the weekend get under my skin as much as it had. I shouldn’t have replayed every moment. I shouldn’t have let myself wonder how she was feeling, what she was thinking, if she regretted anything. I shouldn’t have kept checking my phone
