Traffic at the Pier

Chapter 9

AVA

I slam the door startling Vanessa awake from her nap and she asks me "what happened?, is Ted Bundy back from the grave and is following you or is Barnie right outside?"
I decide to ignore her remark about my phobia of Barnie and roll my eyes at her

"Ha-ha very funny, but you remember when we came here I went on a date with a guy" she sits up and looks at me with a straight face
"The one that kissed you and then you practically slammed the door in his face?"

"Yes him!"

"What about him?"

"Well...I think he goes here and I'm pretty sure his dorm is two doors away" she looks at me then at the door then at me again

"Ava, sweetie, you need to deal with it, we live in a small world, okay?, so just try to forget that you embarrassed yourself horribly. Plus he probably doesn't even remember." She's probably right, I'm like the only person that remembers stuff so easily

......

The annoying sound of my alarm goes off filling the room. I check my phone and the time  is seven o'clock, I might regret taking morning classes later on but I gotta be ready for the real world.
I have only three classes today which seems amazing to even tough they are three hours each.

My day fastly goes by and next thing I notice I'm on my way to my last class of the day which is public speaking.
When I arrive the class is practically empty, the only people in here are the professor and about three students, one of them being me.

As the minutes pass by people start to fill in seats. In the corner of my eye I see someone sit right next to me and I feel a light tap on my shoulder, as I turn around I notice that the person sitting next to me is the guy... Logan, or was it Luke? I honestly don't remember but it's him

"Hi" he tells me with a light smile and I can see a pair of faded dimples that I didn't notice before.

"Hi" I say back but in the most awkward tone ever.

"Are you from around here?" So he doesn't remember, thats great

"No, I'm a freshman, i just checked in here from Texas" I'm not even gonna bother reminding him that we've met before

"Alright Luke" he extends his hand and I shake it
"Ava" So it's official, I'm not a memorable person... That's just amazing.

Class begins and the professor starts talking "Hello everyone, welcome to public speaking, I am Mr.Wilson and I'm going to be your professor for the semester, and if you don't like to speak in public, well good luck in this class" he looks awfully young to be a professor, I imagine he's twenty-six at most. The redhead girl sitting in front of me raises her hand

"Yes?...." Mr.Wilson looks in paper for what I'm guessing is the girls name "Miss Jessica Smith, what's your question?"

"Will we be speaking in front of the class very often?" People laugh and chuckle at her stupid questions

"Well...this is public speaking class, so if you have stage fright then I wish you good luck" he ends the conversation with her.

The class ends after three hours and I decide to go straight back to my room but Mr.I-have-the-memory-of-a-gold-fish decides to walk with me and with a beautiful smile he tells me "So Ava what is it like being a bitch?"I stop walking and respond with
"Excuse me?"

"You heard me, what is it like being a bitch?, I mean I know for a fact that you remember me, so it's a bitchy move, so don't act like you don't know what you were doing" why is he making it such a big deal anyway, it's not like we were life long lovers

"Damn" I say and he raises an eyebrow in question

"You are so disrespectful, did you not learn how to respect people growing up, or is being a dick just another character trait of yours?" I ask while laughing at the thought remembering that I had I agreed on going on a date just because he stained my favorite white shorts and didn't even apologize.

He continues by saying "You are calling me disrespectful?" And he emphasizes "me"

"Last time I checked you acted as if we'd never met before so listen here..."

"No you listen here buddy" i interrupt him before he can finish " if I ignored you it was for a reason, so you can't go around calling me a bitch for doing something which you don't know the reasoning behind, so you can shut the fuck yo and keep those comments to yourself before someone else puts you in your place" I snap at him turn around and leave before he can say another word to me.

Authors note: hi I actually really liked this chapter because it showed another side of Ava and of Luke too kind of but don't worry he isn't that big of a dick...or is he?, jk, unless ;)....

Also If you didn't notice I put a reference to that one meme and if you don't know which one here it is
