Bulls In The Bronx
First Day
I woke up to another shitty rainy day, however it wasn't just a normal day in my boring town. It was the first day of my sixth semester at college. Which meant I only had to battle with all that crap for another year and a half. Don't get me wrong, I loved learning, and even more learning about literature. However I hated that stupid group of preppy girls who loved to make me feel like crap, and their stupid boyfriends who believed they were Brad fucking Pitt. I took a shower and put whatever I found in my closet on. I pulled my hair into a messy pony tail and left my house to get over the day as soon as possible.
When i got to school it looked as boring as always. The same fresh meat squealing like pigs in excitement for being their first days of college. I checked my schedule and realized my first class was at the other side of the campus in less than five minutes. I ran to the elevator of the building but the doors were already closing.
-Crap -I said to myself
But then a hand got in the way of the elevator doors stopping them from closing. It must have hurt to the poor guy because the door crashed kind of hard before retracting. When the doors were fully open again I saw a cute guy with long hair, he wasn't tall at all but he sure was handsome.
-Oh my... -I said trying to apologize -thank you
-Oh don't worry girl -He said rubbing his hand slightly where the door had hit him. -So which floor?
-Oh fourth please -I answered
-Really? me too Which class are you running to?
-Ehmm Contemporary Art
-You're kidding! me too -He said way too excited -I'm Vic -He added
-Ehmm Corinna -I answered shyly
-Well Corinna, nice to meet you
I just smiled shyly, I wasn't used to people being nice to me in school. Usually I got ignored as the best social interaction in that horrid place.
The doors of the elevator opened.
-Do you mind if we walk together to the class? -Vic asked politely -I'm a transfer student and I don't know very well how to move in this campus yet.
He was a transfer? That explained why I'd never seen him before around in the campus.
-Uhmm yeah I think so
We walked fast to the class because we were already running late. When we got there I faced for the first time in the day, a group of Paris Hilton clones were hanging outside the classroom so stopped walking scared of having to walk by them.
-Hey girl! Are you all right? -Vic asked
-Uhmm yeah I said
I walked really fast avoiding them and got into the classroom followed by Vic. I sat down at the back corner of the classroom as I always did with the hope of not being noticed by anybody during the whole semester. Surprisingly Vic sat down next to me, and I was starting to get uncomfortable with him following me around. He looked like a nice kid, but I didn't trust anybody anymore.
-So what's your major? -Vic asked with an incredibly awesome smile that caused butterflies in my stomach.
-Literature -I answered as I looked away to avoid looking at him in the eye.
-Wow that's cool! I am majoring in music -he said with that beautiful voice that caused me to smile like an idiot.
A few seconds after, the teacher made herself noticeable to the crowd of people in the classroom. She called attendance and spent all the time left of class explaining the evaluation policies, the syllabus and other boring typical things of the first day of school.
After the class finished I packed my things and went out of the classroom, I didn't want to stay with Vic, I was too afraid of doing something stupid and he would think what everybody else thinks about me. I almost ran to the hall when I heard him calling me.
-Hey Cori! -He shouted -wait!!
As much as I wanted to get away from him, I didn't want to be mean or rude. I went back and looked for him.
-Sorry Vic -I apologized in a barely audible voice -I got sick with the windows closed and I wanted fresh air.
-It's ok sweetie -He answered -I just wanted to say thank you for helping me find the classroom and I'm afraid you'll be answering "no", but I wanted to ask you for an extra favor.
-Ehmm sure
-Ok, would you go out with me?
I felt like my stomach wanted to jump out of my throat. Why was such a gorgeous guy asking me out? I didn't make sense. I wasn't the kind of girl who gets to date that kind of guys.
-Excuse me? -I said in disbelief
-Oh I get it -Vic answered disappointed -I'm not the kind of guys you date?
He started walking away and i was in shock. Why would he think that, as a matter of fact it was true but not in the way he made it look like. I ran and stepped in front of him.
-Vic -I said starting to stutter -It... It's not... not like that...at... at... all.
I hated when I stuttered, it was frustrating and embarrassing. I felt I was about to cry. To make things worse a stupid bimbo came close to us just to "brighten my day".
-Cori, it's just the first day of school and you are already trying to date a poor transfer guy -She said almost spitting to my face -Slut!
It was too much, I ran away. I was sure Vic wasn't going to talk to me anymore and that was hurtful because he was the first guy in school being decent to me in so much time. I ran until I got to the first floor and I went to hide in an empty classroom. I sat down on the floor and cried my eyeballs out for the first time this semester. But shortly after I sat down, I heard the sound of the classroom door being opened. I stood up as quickly as I could.
-I'm sorry I didn't know there was going to be a class in here -I said really fast.
But when I finally looked at the door I saw Vic with a warm look in his face.
I didn't know what to do so I just stayed there looking at the floor and my feet.
-Sweetie -He said -I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude I just though you were going to ditch me. And about that girl, it's obvious she's on of those people who are just impossible. I've been having to deal with people like that my whole life.
I covered my face with my hands. I was embarrassed. I barely knew Vic and I didn't want him to see me crying.
-Shh it's ok Cori
-Why would I ditch you? -I finally managed to say -I just thought you were mocking me.
-Why would I mock you? -He answered
He laughed and a tiny smile finally came to my face.
-So -He said approaching to me -Can I have your number?
I just nodded and we exchanged numbers.
We had lost too much time in this horrible soap opera drama so we were not going to get to our next classes on time. Seeing this, Vic asked me to give him a little tour around the school. I showed him the fountain, the cafeteria and my favorite place: the library. I told him about my favorite books and authors. And for the very first time in years I felt listened.
