Not mine

Sasha

The next morning, I was preparing for my class when my phone rang. I looked at it and it was Marcus. I know so because I saved his number yesterday when we exchanged contacts.

I wore my pink toptank, and white jean trousers. I applied light make-up before heading out.

Sasha will be coming back today and I can't wait to meet her.

I called out to Veil but she didn't answer. She must have been tired yesterday from the tremendous exercise with her boyfriend. I wonder when she actually goes to class.

I stepped outside and a nice Toyota X-trail was packed in the parking lot. Marcus is waving at me to get in.

"Hey." he greets me when I make myself comfortable on the shortgun.

"Hey. You truly came." I replied.

"I couldn't break the promise and miss a chance with the most beautiful girl in school." He said while looking at me in the corner of his eye.

I blushed away. I wasn't used to boys complementing me that way. Maybe because I was always inside and not allowed to interact, especially with boys, except for Sasha.

We didn't say much, as Marcus drove past the serene suburbs to college. I looked away most of the time and would catch him several times checking me out in the side view mirror.

"I should drop you up at school every morning.So I be, staring at that cute face of yours. Even though you barely speak, I really enjoy your company. " He said in the parking lot before we headed out for class. I only managed to fumble a thank you.

This boy will be the end of me.

All through the lecture I was chatting with Sasha . She was on her way over and her Dad was dropping her. She, too, didn't have a car of her own.

On lunch break, I headed straight to the parking lot as Sasha was a few minutes out. I couldn't wait to see her. God knows I missed that girl.

A few minutes later, a black range- rover pulled up in the parking lot. Knowing very well the type of his Dad's car,I ran towards it, like my life depended on it. As soon as it came to a stand still, Sasha jumped out and we hugged tightly.

"Girl, I missed you." She said as we broke the hug off.

"I missed you too.Thank God you are here. College sucks without you" I replied amid tears.

"Good afternoon Mr. Richard." I greeted his Dad after our little reunion.

"Good afternoon T. Your friend is here now." He replied back.

After greetings, I stepped aside to give them privacy as they bid each other goodbye.

I didn't have another class, so we headed straight to Sasha's room. It is more spacious compared to Veil's and me. It is well furnished and I am a little jealous.

"Your room is beautiful. I should abandon mine and join you here." I stated.

"In your dreams baby", She replied jockingly. "Tell me about your experience here. You haven't died already?" She went on, ignoring my earlier sentiments.

"I was a day away from dying. Lucky me, someone has a crush and has been dropping me off at school every day.My stress was lowered a little bit.".

"What?" she jumped up from her seat to make sure she heard me. "Tell me about it. Is he hot."

"Very hot. But not as Mr. Handsome.We go to the same class."

"I knew you would score it the first chance you get a chance. You are beautiful anyway, so it makes total sense. About Mr. Handsome, did you call him?"

No, not yet. I can't gather enough courage to call. Besides, he's way bigger than me. I cant date him. I just joined college and haven't had fun yet.You feel me"

"You can lie to yourself, girlfriend, but not me. I know that look. Dont overthink, just call him. He is the hottest guy in history.He should be in the World Guinness Book of Records for being hot." She laughs at the last part and I could never agree with more. I should try my shot.

But then, with his hotness, he must have a ton of girls. So I brushed off the thought as soon as it came.

Sasha taps my shoulder when she realized I was lost in thoughts. I am always lost in thoughts when it comes to Mr. Handsome. He will be the end of me.

"I was saying that we should hit the shower before we go out to eat. Bill on me."

We were about to head out when the door knob was turned and a guy entered.

"Hey honey, I am home." He calls out and Sasha goes to him and gives him a light hug. "Welcome home honey. She said.

I turned straight to her, waiting for an explanation.

The man notices me and extends his hand. "I am Harry. Nice to meet you."

Even though I extended my hand in greeting, I didn't say a word. I keep looking at Sasha for an explanation and she's giggling foolishly.

"Hey T. Meet my roommate, Harry.
