Her Twisted Fate

Chapter 3

Becca

The next few days I relax and get to know my grandmother. I tried getting info out of her to why she had a fallen out with Dad but she would not tell me. She kept saying it wasn't the time. I know she is hiding something from me and I don't like it.

The next week it was time to start school. Strangely, my fractured femur healed quickly. I saw the local town doctor and he said I was ok to take the cast off and just use the crutches if I'm sore. How was that even possible? He said I just got lucky and shouldn't complain.

Since it was my left leg I fractured, I was still able to drive since my right leg was fine. Grandma had my late grandfather's old jeep that she maintained as a backup car so luckily I had my own car to drive and was able to commute to my new university for summer classes.

It was my first day of classes and desperately needed my iced latte. I found an amazing bakery and cafe in this little town so I could still get my caffeine fix. Making my own coffee just never hits right.

I pull up to the school and I feel stared at. Since it is late June, everyone is sitting on their cars in the parking lot or sitting on picnic tables chit chatting away. I decided I wanted to just keep to myself and stick to my studies. I don't want friends or talk to anyone if I don't have to. After losing my loved ones I feel so numb. Before leaving Boston the doctors put me on anti depressant and anti anxiety pills and they seem to be helping but I still just want to be alone.

I was able to book my classes and purchase my books online so all I had to do was find my classroom for my Intro to Programming class. I walked straight forward with my head down and all the sudden I hit a wall. My stupid a## wasn't paying attention and bounced off the person I walked into and fell flat on my back. The pain shot right up my bad leg. The person was like a cement wall jeeze.

I see a large tan hand reach out to lift me up. I am so mortified. When I looked up to see that huge hand my panties melted. This guy was buff, blonde hair, bluest eyes I have ever seen. I normally don't like blonde good looking guys because they are so full of themselves but he looked at me with concern and asked if I was ok. I held my tears in as usual and apologized and walked off as fast as I could. I saw girls laughing at me. Whatever. I shouldn't care what people think.

I finally found my programming class and chose a seat in the back by the window. I have ADHD and rather hide in the back because 99 percent of the time I zone out during lectures and self teach myself anyways. As the class fills up I see the big hand guy walk in. Someone shoot me please! The only seat left was of course the desk in front of me so I get to stare at the back of that adonises head! Before he sat down he winked at me. I rolled my eyes. I know he would never be interested in me. I'm 5'7, curvy, and with a face full of freckles. My family comes from Ireland and I get my dad's pale sunburn prone skin and my mom's freckles. I don't think I'm ugly but a guy like that can have any woman he wants. Won't be me! No thanks.

As the class begins I notice the guy sitting at the computer desk next to me sniffing me. What the heck is up with that. I showered this morning and have my favorite Dolce & Gabbana perfume on. I just ignored him and waited for the teacher to start. The guy next to my asked what pack I was from and that I smelt different. What the heck is that supposed to mean? The blonde Adonis in front of me some how overheard and gave the guy next to my a look saying to shut up without saying it. Ok these people are odd

The teacher then goes around the room having everyone introduce ourselves. Since this is a small college, this is a small class. For some reason everyone was announcing their age. For some reason it rubbed me the wrong way. Probably because I am 17 and obviously everyone is between 18 to 22. When I told them I was 17 but will be 18 in September they were confused how I could be in college. I explained where I live that kindergarten cutoff is December 31st so I was able to start school when I was still 5. It was annoying because almost everyone was always older than me in school.

The class went on and I went to a couple of other classes and was finally don't for the day. I started walking to my car and that sniffer guy came running over to me. "Hey! I'm Matt! Sorry about earlier. I thought you came from somewhere else. Ignore what I said! I actually live the next street over from you. My parents have been telling me to go meet Chris Carroll's daughter that judt moved to town. I am so sorry about your family. I never met your dad but have heard some wild stories about him. That man is a legand!".

I looked at Matt and wanted to bolt. I don't want to make friends and I am seriously starting to get weird vibes from this school and even around the town I'm living in. I feel like I am missing something. All the sudden I feel like, someone is watching me. I look up and see the blonde Adonis looking at me whole song smut sits on his lap. Can I throw up now?

I got in my car and Matt the sniffer was still there. "Hey I feel bad asking but I was going to take the bus home but since we are practically neighbors could I hitch a ride home?". I told him ya whatever and he got in. Blonde was still staring at me and looked mad. Whatever.

The ride home was silent which I was greatful for although sniffer kept looking at me. I am really starting to get weirded out. This is going to be a long summer.
