Olive sat by her lonesome for a half an hour time period before she was greeted by a young guy. He had large black rimmed glasses on his face, shaggy hair and a beanie. He was a little nerdy<span style="font-style: italic">But quite cute</span>she thought to herself. "Are you alright?" He asked as he held out his hand for her grab. She took his hand, smiling, feeling his gentle touch as she held her footing, "Thank you. I'm fine.....I think I'm just going to head home" she said with a slight smile. He quickly offered to walk her and they walked together. Their time together was filled with a simple silence, that was occasionally filled with general questions and as they neared her car she thanked him, explaining her gratefulness at his presence. She departed, making her way home. She noticed the time on her radio<span style="color: #0000FF">8:25</span>and was happy to get away from the campus. As she pulled into the driveway, she realized the continuing lack of her parents, who were away on a small vacation in Florida; she walked into the empty home, aching for her mother's presence. She sighed as she was in the foyer, running her fingers through her hair,<span style="font-style: italic">Well there's nothing I can do</span>she thought while she began slowly walking up the stairs. She fell onto her bed, easily falling asleep from exhaustion from her run and her previous crying; glad she was able to push Ethan from her thoughts.<br/><br/><span style="color: #008040">24 April, 2015 </span><br/>Olive woke up sweaty, her head thumping in the beginnings of a headache, "Oh fuck this" she said out loud. She quickly made her way to the bathroom, taking two pills in a hurry to omit the headache bothering her body. As she was in the bathroom she got undressed and stepped into the shower, the water feeling cool against her body as she stood under the stream. She felt the 'broken up' pain she always seemed to feel when she was not in a relationship. She shrugged the feeling off,<span style="font-style: italic">Not worth it</span>she continued to remind herself. She eventually got out of the shower, threw on a loose shirt and shorts before making her way downstairs. Through the glass back doors she noticed the stable mate, and she was thankful she did not have to take care of anything. She made herself a large bowl of cereal, positioning herself on the bar and munched on her breakfast. She finished her meal and made her way to the foyer, put on sandals and grabbed her bag making her way to her car and in a daze she drove to her school.<br/><br/>She parked in a general parking area and began her walk towards her favorite field in the campus. The weather was perfect and she enjoyed the light breeze as she made her way, watching as the people around her made their way across the campus; some couples held hands, friends laughed, students rushed into buildings, late. She made it to the grass, noticing small groups of students spread out amongst the area. She took her blanket and flicked it in the air, setting it on the ground lightly next to a shaded tree and took a seat. She pulled out her books, paper and a pencil, letting her thoughts focus on the task at hand.<br/><br/>It was an hour before she looked up, gazing at the area around her. She stretched her neck and back; she brought her arms up in one large stretch, closing her eyes and as she opened them, she noticed a shadow and she looked up, shielding her eyes from the sun in the sky.<span style="font-style: italic">Ethan</span>she thought, "Please talk to me Olive" she heard him say. She looked away from him, "You need to go. Seriously. There is no reason for you to be here." She said easily, shaking her head at him. "But Olive..."  "No" She stood up, pointing ahead of her, "You need to go. I'm busy and I don't want you here. Please go."  "...I can't let you go..." Olive rolled her eyes and sat back down, looking down and muttered, "Too bad." It wasn't long before Ethan made it on his way, and out of the corner of her eye she could she his dissatisfaction as he shook his head to himself, running his hands on his face a through his hair, "Dammit" she heard him say as he made his way in the opposite direction. She was pretending to be entranced in her school work and it wasn't until he disappeared that she looked up, and sat with her head on her arm.<span style="font-style: italic">What the hell!</span>She thought,<span style="font-style: italic">I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I just wonder what he thought was going to happen...</span><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://www.magiclanternshows.com/images/CollegeCampus.jpg">Campus Field</a><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://sweetfuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/picture-19.png">Clothes</a>
