The Innocence is Gone

WiFi password

April's POV

I reached my dorm safely, thank heavens, and I took all my belongings with me back to Alex's apartment. I struggled to find my way back to the apartment but I finally got there. I put my bags in the bedroom Alex had assigned me to sleep in. It was a nice room and I wondered why he did not want to accommodate me in the first place when he had a spare room. How selfish was he? I explained to him my problem and he still did not want to accommodate me.

I sighed getting out of my clothes preparing to go freshen up. Today was one of the worst days of my life. I wrapped my towel on my body and got into the shower and a hot shower had never felt so good. Showers after a long day were the best. I used the shower gels and hair shampoo in the bathroom without thinking too much on my actions.

After I was done, I got out but I almost screamed when I met cold angry eyes staring at me. I jumped a little scared and I tightly held onto my towel to prevent it from falling. I cleared my throat trying to regain my composure. "H...hey. You scared me. When did you get back?"I asked Alex faking a smile.

Alex just stared at me and I tightened my hold on my towel even more. "Are you going to keep staring at me?"I asked embarrassed.

"Who gave you the right to take a shower here?"he asked me in a cold expresionless voice.

I blinked confused. "Am I not supposed to take a shower?"I asked him.

"You are here just to sleep for one night. Sleep only not take a shower and sleep."Alex growled at me.

"It is just a shower, calm down."I told him arrogantly. To be honest I did not understand why he was angry.

"You used my shower gel and shampoo."Alex stated.

I lifted an eyebrow at him. "So?"I asked.

"I hate sharing my things with people and I feel like dying with you being here in my apartment. I have to fathom that I am breathing the same air with you in my own apartment."Alex told me.

I was restricting the urge to roll my eyes so bad because this guy was being so annoying and...petty. Emphasis on petty. "I am aware I am disturbing your peace and I apologise for that but you do not have to make a big deal out of my one night stay here."I told him. "Oh, and do not tell me how you do not like sharing. You have had tons of girlfriends who have had boyfriends before. If that is not sharing I do not know what is." I shrugged and I walked past him down the hallway to the room I was sleeping in. I had to get dressed.

After I got dressed, I got out of the room with my laptop and books. I had to write the group project report. I walked to the sitting room and sat at the couch. Alex was nowhere to be seen and I assumed he was in his room doing whatever. I spent some time on the couch brainstorming on how to write the report until I heard a door open and close.

I pretended to be a little more busy but I was anticipating to see Alex. I wanted the WiFi password which I doubted he would give me. I heard his heavy footsteps and I just tapped random keys on my laptop to seem busy. When the footsteps stopped, I looked up from my laptop to look at Alex. He stood leaning on the wall at the corner of the sitting room. He had changed his clothes into a pair of black baggy jeans and a black fitting t-shirt. He held his earlier leather jacket with one hand while his other hand he played with a black lighter. It was the only thing producing a sound in the room.

We stared at each for the first few seconds. No one between us wanted to speak first but I gave in soon. "Can you please give me the WiFi password?" I requested.

"No." he bluntly denied.

I sighed. I expected that. "Why are you so stingy?" I asked him.

"Because I can."he replied and I swear he was the most annoying person in the world after my siblings.

"Fine then stingy guy. I will just hack myself the password. I wanted to be respectful and ask you in person first but you trampled on my efforts."I told him but he did not react after hearing I was going to hack on his WiFi password.

"Do whatever you want just be gone early in the morning."He said and he begun walking away towards the door. He was leaving? Of course he was leaving. I had forgotten about the party Marcus could not stop talking about.

"So you are fine with me hacking your WiFi?"I asked him and he stopped in his tracks.

He turned to look at me. "June, I do not care. Just continue with whatever nonsense you are doing."he told me and I pouted sadly. He dared call my studying nonsense?

I glared at him angered. "It is not nonsense, I am studying."I told him.

"Who the hell studies on a Friday night? I think just the crazy ones like you."he told me. He kept insulting me. "Why are you studying when everyone is at a party. Your friend Marcus has a party and you are just sitting in the room instead of going." he told me.

"Why are you being bothered by my life? Worry about yours."I told him annoyed. I did not appreciate people's criticism on my choice of doing things and my life. Everyone had something to say about who I was, my social life and everything else about me. It was actually very annoying.

"My life is perfect and don't hallucinate. I could care less about your stupid boring life let alone be bothered by it."he told me and that hit me in the heart. He was so mean and harsh and I hated him.
