Looking around, I find myself standing outside the gym building.

Of course, my feet would bring me here.

After all, this is where I first found out Damien was my professor. This is where I had hoped my night would be different from what it has been.

Before the lack of meaning in the text messages.

Before the awkward conversation in the cafe.

Before the hand holding.

Was I just a spring fling?

Was I just someone to occupy his mind and bed while on vacation, despite our feelings growing deeper every single day?

Was it only one sided?

Did he even mean to say he loves me, or was it in the heat of the moment?

My heart constricts with pain as anger fills my veins.

If he didn’t mean it, then why did he say it?

Why lead me on and give me hope?

Why not just be a man and say, “Sorry I led you on, but there’s someone at home I’m interested in.”

“Ugh!” I yell into the darkness.

Thankfully, no one is around or else they might think I’m having a mental breakdown and talking to myself will not help my case.

“But he’s so frustrating and confusing!”

I chuckle to myself as I run a hand through my hair.

Something inside me compels me to stretch my arm out and reach for the door handle.

Is this considered breaking and entering?

I try the door and am surprised that it is still unlocked. I make my way inside the dark building.

The hallway lights are dim, and the classrooms are all dark.

Standing in front of his classroom door, I let out a shaky sigh.

This is stupid.

Why do I feel scared?

What am I even doing here?

I need to turn around and go home. Mara is expecting me, and the party will start soon.

“Turn around.” I order myself, but it didn't work.

I’m frozen in my spot, unable to turn around and walk away.

It’s not like he’s here. He’s on a date with Miss Perfect in the cafe.
