No matter the situation, don't let your emotions overpower your intelligence.


I reached home at around nine thirty at night. It was not exactly home to me. I lived in a small two room rented apartment which was enough for me. The owner was a grumpy widowed douche who was too impatient with the rent.

I inserted the key in the hole and opened the door. I flicked the lights on and closed the door behind me. I was tired. I didn't know why but I was damn tired.

I already had my dinner at a restaurant and I was full. And so I just needed a warm bath now.

Summer break was right around the corner and I was very excited. Tomorrow would be the last day of college until after the break which was for about three weeks. Many of my classmates were to going to go home to meet their family. And some of them were going on family trips to different countries. Thank God, it would be a nice break from seeing the arrogant faces of my classmates everyday.

I went into the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. After putting on my comfortable pajamas which I loved so much, I walked out of the bathroom.

I stood in front of the mirror, drying my damp hair with a towel. I ran a hand through my dark brown wet long and straight hair and patted it back into place. I had brown eyes and Olivia thought I was skinny, maybe it was  because I forgot to eat often.

After drying my hair off, I turned off the lights and went to bed. I fixed my alarm time of five in the morning. I was an early riser.

The next day, as I said I would, I woke up at five. Everyday I went for a jog. Really, that was the only time I get to exercise. College starts at eight and I go jogging for a good one hour or so.

Olivia joined me sometimes as she didn't live far away from my house so I jogged to hers. As I reached her apartment, I knocked on her door. I didn't hear any sounds from the other side which could tell me she was awake, so I tapped the door again.

I got the same response and finally I gave up and pressed the doorbell. It rang loudly, so loudly that I was sure all the people in the building heard it. I winced as the entire building was dead silent.

I touched the bell again but before I could press it, a sleepy Olivia opened the door. I immediately noticed her red eyes and bags under her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Her hoarse morning voice asked me.

"Um...you want to go jogging with me?" I asked. I didn't think she would. I meant, she looked horrible. She was probably up all night doing god knows what.

"Um...okay. Wait for a minute," She said and disappeared into her dark room.

"Are you sure? You should sleep, you look horrible," I said as I entered her living room. She was not there so probably she was in the bathroom.

After five minutes or so, she reappeared looking fresh and slightly less horrible.

Olivia was beautiful. She had dark wavy hair which looked pretty on her and deep brown eyes. She was a senior in State University.

"Let's go," She said as she finished lacing up her shoes. I headed out and she followed behind me, locking the door and keeping the key in her jacket pocket.

"You know I had gone on a date the other night?" She said as we walked.

"Yeah. What happened about that? I completely forgot," I said. She had told me that she was going on a date with a cute guy a couple of days ago. She had ditched our movie night for it.
