Scream!
A loud one was the first thing that left Sophie’s mouth when she saw the state of her dorm room. Everywhere looked like they had been robbed. Clothes, books, and furniture were scattered everywhere soaked because the perpetrators left their tap open. Looking around she found Kayla curled up in a fetal position at one corner of the room. The girl looked pale like she just witnessed the worst horror of her life.
The worst scenario flashed between Sophie’s thoughts. Maybe the scum her father was owing had decided to do this to her. They tracked her down to her school and assaulted her roommate. She could feel her heart in her throat. She tried to process everything but said nothing to her roommate.
She helped the girl up while trying to panic in fear herself. After setting the traumatized girl on a couch. She try to find words to say but she could barely form any.
” Kayla hmmm what happened here?” Even with the amount of strength, Sophie had put into saying something, the words still managed to come out awkwardly. But if there’s anything awkward, Kayla didn’t even reply.
The internal panic Sophie was trying to suppress kept on growing knowing those dangerous people had made her bubbly friend like this. Sophie was always the quiet one among them, barely able to communicate for minutes without getting tired and frustrated but seeing Kayla like this convinced Sophie that those people must have taken her roommate for her and then done something that traumatized her so much she couldn’t talk.
” Kayla I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have left you alone. I am sorry this happened to you I … I” Sophie kept on rambling not knowing what to say. Her entire body was shaking.
” I brought them to you, I shouldn’t have left you alone. I should have told you the entire truth. Those men are probably brutal… They.. ahhh oh my God” Sophie burst into tears sobbing uncontrollably.
” It was Louise” A year slipped from Kayla’s eyes as she whispered to her friend. Sophie had to blink twice to register her words.
” Wait I don’t understand, what do you mean Louise? The French bastard?” Sophie wiped her tears in a flash getting concerned for her friend. Even though Sophie rarely talks, she never fails to mention to her roommate how much of an abusive jerk her boyfriend is.
Hell, Sophie had nicknamed the man “The French bastard”. Louise was a French exchange who met Kayla during their first year at the college. He was exceptionally sweet at first like a typical Frenchmen Sophie always read in the romance book she enjoys too much when he was asking Kayla out based on everything the girl told Sophie. That she doesn’t have a love life doesn’t mean she doesn’t enjoy romance too.
After Kayla agreed to be his girlfriend. He changed totally, finally showing his true colors. The first time Sophie met the guy was after their first date together. Kayla brought him home to introduce them to each other. The first thing Sophie noticed was his horrible French accent. Instead of how sophisticated and romantic Frenchmen sounded on TV shows, this one speaks like a barbarian from hell. Yes, Louise is handsome but the sinister smile he always had made him look scary.
The nickname stuck when Louise starts manipulating or let’s say attempting to manipulate Kayla in every way when she wouldn’t agree to listen to him every time. He wants total control of her life but Kayla has always been a free bird so that lead to huge problems between them. He started misbehaving around her and starts messing with other girls in the dorms to spite Kayla.
Kayla had lost interest in him since the first date when he commented on her yellow flowery dress.
” Your dress is too bright for my eyes, not that pretty but will do,” he said. When Kayla told Sophie, she had curled her mouth in total disgust.
But coming back to the situation on the ground, how the hell he managed to do all this and get away with it?
“What did he do? I’m going so going to kill that butthole” Sophie said after giving Kayla a glass of water.
” He came just after you left the house and he was sweet at first. I thought he came to check up on me because I have cramps but turns out he just wanted sex” Kayla sobbed.
” What the hell?! Does he want to have sex with you on your period? That’s disgusting!” Sophie almost gagged at the sheer ridiculousness of the entire situation.
” He kissed me and I allowed it like it was normal but then the kiss started getting steamier and I asked him not to start what we can’t end, then he started getting forceful and I pushed him away even with the cramps. He had this crazy look on his face and started calling me crude names which I replied colorfully to. Then he started destroying things in rage. I cried and asked him to stop. I shouted for help but he was going around scattering stuff like a deranged animal. I’m sorry about your vase though.” Sophie had wiped her friend’s tears and given her a bone-crushing hug while the other woman sobbed on her shoulder.
” Who cares about my vase? I hope that pig is locked up now?”
” Other girls heard when I was shouting for help, and the dorm security was alerted immediately. He is in a police station now”
Sophie cleared some clothes scattered on Kayla’s bed, arranged the covers, and helped her friend with them.
” I asked you to stay away from him you know” Sophie muttered while squeezing some of their clothes that got soaked in water. She picked up the broken vase and discarded it in the trash.
” I know and look at me now, I later dragged you into my mess. I’m sorry Sophie” Kayla looked remorseful as she watched her arrange everywhere. The girl had not even dropped her handbag or changed to any other casual but she had to arrange the mess Kayla’s ex made. Sophie didn’t say anything she just continue what was doing.
” At least change into something else, that dress looks uncomfortable” Kayla muttered.
” My clothes are all wet, I don’t have anything to wear”
” Change into one of mine. Just take a rest. we will arrange this when I’m feeling better”
Sophie ignored her once again, continuing the chores. After arranging the dry clothes, she packed the wet ones in a big bucket to be washed later. She picked up every book and spread them beside the window where the sun is shining at the moment.
After then she mopped the floor and clean some visible stains on the wall. By the time she was done, Kayla was already sleeping soundly and she was glad. She took a shower and changed into one of Kayla’s dry clothes since all of hers were wet already. Picking a white tee and a pair of jeans, she matched it with a jean jacket and her worn-out white sneakers.
She made a bowl of warm soup for Kayla and proceed to wake the girl up. After feeding her the soup, Kayla muttered her thanks before falling asleep again.
Sophie paced around the room for a while, she really go to work right at that moment but she doesn’t want to leave Kayla alone since the French bastard is already behind bars, so she became relieved again. She carried her handbag and left the room closing the door right behind her.
As she passed along the halls, she met the gazes of other girls staring in pity but she brushed them off, Kayla would be fine, she muttered in her head.
Fifteen minutes later, she was already in front of the coffee shop she works at, kind of twenty minutes late but she had never come late before hopefully they will let her off the hook.
Opening the door, the familiar homey feeling welcomed her as she smiled at her boss. An elderly woman Sophie sees a mother figure in her life. Madam Edna is a lifesaver, she had given Sophie the job of a cashier right when her father started drinking and squandering the never enough income he earns. And Sophie rewarded the woman with her punctuality and excellent customer service.
” Welcome Sophie, you are twenty minutes late” Madam Edna greeted with a wide smile.
” I have….”
” Nevermind Fifi, I wasn’t expecting you to come today. Melissa told me what happened at your dorm earlier today. Hope Kayla is okay?” The old lady asked making Sophie smile at the kindness.
” She is fine. Thank you, Edna”
Sophie changed into her work outfit, just a pink round-neck t-shirt with the logo of Edna’s coffee shop and a matching pink face cap. She got behind the counter and started attending to customers that are ready to pay. She said to Max, The barista and he smiled in return.
Max and Sophie have been friends since high school, they went to same school and lived in the same neighborhood. He started working at Edna’s because of Sophie. He had a crush on her for a very long time but when it became certain that Sophie wouldn’t be looking at boys anytime soon. He asked someone else out but he remained friends with Sophie, best friends even because they became closer to each other when he stopped approaching her with all those corny and cheesy lines.
While Sophie and Max communicated with their eyes as usual, a new customer entered the shop. After placing his orders with Max, he came to the counter to pay. The man looks young probably in his early twenties. He has a cute boyish face but a sharp jawline and messy morning hair. His cute baby blue eyes were what caught Sophie’s attention on him at first.
After making his payment, he smiled at Sophie.
” You look familiar,” he said suddenly and scrunch up his eyebrows as if he is trying to think about her face and where he knew her.
” Maybe around here” Sophie replied while handing the receipt to him.
” No… Wait. You were in my history lecture yesterday. You answered the question about the second world war” he said pointing his fingers at her. He made a face as if Sophie is the most fascinating thing he ever laid his eyes on.
” It was my first meeting such a wonderful student like you. I tried to communicate with you after the lecture but I didn’t see you anywhere. And being my first time in that class as a professor, I couldn’t get anyone to help me”
Whoah, so he was the new professor her coursemates were fussing all about. The girls were moaning and cooing about the professor right after the lecture. She had been in thought for the entire lecture and she only answered his questions so he wouldn’t suspect she was lost in thought and not concentrating.
” Ohhh I hmm” She suddenly became really shy trying not to blush in front of the man. She looked up and saw Max telling her with his eyes that the order is ready.
” Sir your order is ready” She cleared her throat to get the words out.
” Alright thanks, we’ll see in my next lecture” The man smiled at her so brightly it could rival Chris’s special smile. She shook her head and chastised herself.
” No thinking about Chris at work. It is not acceptable Fifi”
