  I was folding some of my clothes and cleaning the room, keeping it tidy instead of enlarging the mess that would eventually be too much of a hassle to clean.
      I was interrupted when a knock sounded on the door.
      Opening the door, I was genuinely taken by surprise when I saw Nate.
      &quot;Hey?&quot; My eyebrows pulled together in confusion as I wondered what he was doing here since at this point it was strange for my own boyfriend to come see me, with the way he had been acting over the past two months.
      He hadn't called or texted before either so it was no longer normal for him to randomly drop by.
      Yes, I am aware how sad that is.
      &quot;Hi,&quot; Nate rubbed the back of his neck, shifting on feet. I could easily tell he was bothered and uncomfortable.
      I let him into my room, following him as we sat down on my bed.
      &quot;What's up?&quot; I trie

  Nate had let me know when he had class so I could help myself into his dorm and collect my things that were left there. We both knew it was best if I gathered my things while he was out because we didn't need the unnecessary awkwardness of having to be stuck with each other for no important reason.
      It had been a few days since the breakup and I was starting to feel a little better, keeping myself busy with assignments and studying for exams. The last thing I needed was to dwell on all the memories and moments we shared.
      It may have gone downhill towards the end, but the rest of the three years we spent together were too good for me to move on so quickly without being affected whatsoever.
      I knew Nate and I were no longer working so part of me felt relieved. It was a flame that had died out a long time ago. It was rational for us to break up. We probably should have soo

  &quot;The pizza has arrived and I brought a guest with me.&quot;
      Michelle and Chris both looked up as Wes and I entered the dorm room with the box of pizza.
      &quot;Look who it is,&quot; Michelle smirked, looking at me in a suggestive manner. &quot;I was wondering when Fia was going to pull you along again.&quot;
      Wes laughed, walking into the room and closing the door behind him. &quot;And I was wondering when I'd be invited to one of your pizza parties.&quot;
      &quot;The time has finally beckoned upon us!&quot; Michelle fist-bumped the air, making no sense as she spoke but we all still laughed in response. She was too sleep deprived for her own good.
      &quot;Hey man,&quot; Chris beamed, getting up to do one of those bro-hugs with Wes. &quot;I don't think we've met before. I'm Chris.&quot;
      Wes hesitated, looking at where Chris was sitting on my bed. He qui
