#examsaredone

I threw myself into exams, I was studying day and night. When I wasn’t studying, I was at the gym hauling ass. I’d acquired this awful(?) habit of trying to perfect myself in the gym whenever I felt rejected or not good enough for someone; I blamed Jack for my brain working this way, but on the bright side I’d never looked better. I was so focused on doing well mentally and physically that I was doing everything right in terms of diet as well as zeroing in on my studies.

I won’t lie though, some nights I felt so burnt out and lonely, luckily my endless work days has brought me closer to my coworkers and I’d made some really great new friends.

When I was at school, I hung out with Nick; he’d been a good friend of D’s, but we became close during our relationship and our friendship never really fizzled. His friendship with D on the other hand became rocky when he’d started dating Kate. We became best friends because we decided friends at school were overrated; I liked spending time with him because we could just sit in a room, not speaking, doing our own thing. It was so comforting and nice.

On the day of my last exam, I texted Ali to tell her it was time for some serious celebration, suddenly my phone started buzzing and the name that appeared shocked me. Magic.

Hey, can we meet up and talk? I found something of yours I need to return, btw.

Something he needed to return? I thought about it and then it hit me, my $80 VS bra, my most prized possession. I didn’t reply, I had to weigh my options on if the bra was really worth it or not. I texted Ali,

Hello, we have a date tonight with Jose

She texted back almost instantly,

Oh my god you’re done exams, meet me at the mall - we need to get new clothes to celebrate.

I already know what I’m wearing, but be my barbie doll?
