COLLEGE DIARIES
EPISODE:4
...We walked together to the cafeteria for lunch and I saw Ethan with his 'gang'.When he saw me, he waved and motioned me to come there.
"Who is that guy?", Sophie asked.
"He is Ethan, he helped me with my lockers and everything", I replied and we both went there.
"Hello again Daisy and you are...", Ethan said.
"Sophie.Nice to meet you, Ethan"
"Nice to meet you too", he replied.
"Meet my friends' Lobby, Shawn and Mike"
Sophie said "Hi" to everyone and sat down in her chair.
That day, there were sandwiches and juice at lunch. Ethan had already got my lunch before I even got there and Sophie was in the queue for lunch. Till Sophie returned, Ethan asked me about the day so far and I told him everything from 'the goth girl' to 'Nicolas- the flirt king'.But it was not easy to tell him as his friends ...I mean 'gang' kept on interrupting him with things like, "Hey! Did you watch the match last night?" and "How wonderfully did he score a goal, right?" as if scoring a goal is wonderful. Well, it may be wonderful but I am not a soccer fan so...not for me.
Sophie returned after taking her lunch and said, "I'd rather bring lunch from home you know?"
"Yeah...that's what I'm gonna do from tomorrow", I replied.
"They make delicious lunch sometimes...but it happens only sometimes", Ethan said.
While we were having the 'not so delicious sandwich', I saw Pete from the corner of my eye, sitting four chairs away from me. And what I noticed was...he was staring right at me. It felt like I was a criminal and he was the police officer eyeing me so that he can put me behind the bars. It felt pretty awkward but then I remembered my grandmas' advice or saying..."You don't get just good people everywhere. You get all sorts of people and you should have the strength to deal with them".
The bell rang and it was time for another class.
" Okay, Daisy. See you later...meet me after college", Ethan said.
"Where?", I questioned.
"Hmm...how do you go home? Do you walk home?", he asked.
"No...I ride...on my bike", I said.
"Cool! Meet you at the bike stand"
"Bye", he said and went away with his friends.
After he was gone, Sophie said, "Wow...did you notice he was wearing Patek Philippe watch?"
But no, I had not noticed so I said, "Who was?"
"Ethan was!"
"Yeah.So what about it ?", I asked.
"You don't know? It's one of the most expensive watch brands?"
So the truth was- no I was not knowing any 'Patek Philippe' or any other sort of brand because I thought brands were stupid. I mean, come on! how does wearing a branded watch make any difference from wearing a non branded one?. What I basically mean is, don't they both show the exact similar time? So yeah, I was not a brand crazy person and besides, I was not a rich-rich girl to be a brand crazy person.
So I said, "No idea Sophie" and reminded her that we do have the next lecture so we both hurried off for the post-lunch lectures.
