"Vanity, not love, has been my folly."
- Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice)
It was awkward at first, but it only took a couple of minutes to find their dynamic. She told him about her Mid-Terms, projects, and assignments. She was excited to tell him about her two research papers that she had to do, what she chose, and what she was going to claim. She told him about the book she's reading, and what shows she's watching. She told him about how she got into a fight with one of her Professors, and how she got another one mad at her because she refused to work with a group. How she sent a long e-mail to the head of department because they made her write an essay about a topic which was sexually discriminatory and she refused to do the assignment. She told him about where she went out and with who. She gave him the names of all the girls she recently started hanging out with.
She felt the need to tell him everything even the little details. With more than a month apart from him, she finally felt the feeling of emptiness he had caused by leaving. By her pushing him away... It was all her fault really, she couldn't blame him. He wasn't a constant part of her life like he was before. She wanted it this way, it was better. She wouldn't let him get too close and he wouldn't try to either. That way nobody would get hurt. It was only a few calls here and there. Always from his side, never her.
Hey pretty girl, sleep tight.
She couldn't help but smile knowing that he had her back and would always be there for her even though they weren't as close nor even friends.

'There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.' Oscar Wilde. I guess that sums it. Nice writing.
I love the quote, thank you =)
