The next morning when Henry woke up at 10 a.m., he saw that Liam was not there, Henry checked his phone Liam left a text which said
“Ur classes start late today
I had to go early
There is breakfast in fridge
Eat it
See you at college”
There were also two kissing emojis in the end. Henry smiled and went to the bathroom, he looked at his reflection in the mirror; there were visible red marks all over his neck. He was so happy to see those marks, as if those marks were the symbol that he belonged to Liam and only Liam.
Henry ate his breakfast and left for college, he attended his first class. When he was at the cafeteria he received a message in group chat saying that today members of the group will meet. Henry was displeased looking at the message but he had to get good grades so he decided to bear it and to carry this project on till it is finished.
As Henry was on his way to café, Liam called him and asked where he was. Henry replied that he will be a little busy with the group project, so Liam shouldn’t wait.
Henry reached the front of the café door; he calmed himself down, took a deep breath and went in.
All of the members were there except Sarah. Henry was little relieved.
Jacob: hii Henry how are you now?
Henry smiled and answered: I'm fine so where do we start our work.
Vanessa: before that we want to talk to you about something.
Henry: is it about tomorrow? I'm so sorry I behaved like that I was just too tired.
Vanessa: No! It’s not your fault we kinda know what happened tomorrow. It’s just that we don’t want to ruin the project because our grades depend on it.
Jacob: Yeah! And we apologize in Sarah’s stead we don’t know much about her but we want this project to carry on.
Henry was happy because of their kindness, he didn’t know them till few days ago but they understood.
Henry: it’s okay. Everything’s cool by the way where is Sarah?
Vanessa: she said she will be a little late
Henry: okay than we should start, we can tell her about the discussion we had when she comes.
On the other hand Liam had nothing to do, so he decided to go see Henry. As he was on his way to the café he bumped into Sarah.
Sarah: ah sorry I did not see you.
Liam: it’s okay
As Liam was going away Sarah noticed him and grabbed his arm.
Sarah: wait I have to talk to you about something
Liam: yes
Sarah: not here maybe we can sit down somewhere.
Liam guessed right away what she was going to say, he wanted to say no but he was not that much of a bad person so he decided to at least listen to her.
