Heidi is back

Chapter sixty-three
Gwen
Well, just like that, yesterday passed.
I got home immediately. Though I had a serious headache and well a serious migraine too.
But I felt good. At least I was able to see Ryder's true color before it got so deep between us.
What if we were dating and something like that happened, would he leave me?
Would he because of a single mistake let me go?
Well, I admit I thought he was perfect. And he was almost perfect if it wasn't for what he did this night.
I will never hold him in high esteem except with the fact that he took care of me. I'm going to work harder and repay his kindness.
But I will stop thinking about him. I'm going to try to.
I walk inside my bathroom and take a quick bath.
It's six in the morning and I feel so weak and sleepy.
I guess it was because I kept crying. Gosh, I was in so much pain yesterday night.
I had to cry for several minutes, while still wiping away my tears only for me to resume afresh. But I was able to find my resolution.
I dress in a short black skirt with a red blouse. I walk into the kitchen to make breakfast.
I can hear the front door open. I know it must be Myra.
I made cereal, still too weak to ignite a fire or make something tangible.
I think forgetting Ryder will take a long time. But I'm ready to try it. I give it all it takes to forget about any feeling I have for him.
"Gwen," Myra calls from behind.
"Welcome," I say without even turning to look at her.
"Gwen, about yesterday," she started walking towards me.
"It's ok dear," I say and turn to look at her. She's still in the dress she wore to the party yesterday.
I thought the party ended hours ago.
She held a serious look as she watch me suspiciously.
I chuckle softly, "Come on. When are we resuming school?"
She rolls her eyes, "Tomorrow. You seem so eager to resume."
" Aren't you eager?"
She shrugs slightly, " School means studying, and studying means the students are dying!" She walks out of the kitchen before I can say more.
I laugh hard at her philosophy. Where did she get that from?
This lady is really funny.
Well, I really want to study. I have always wanted to study since I was in high school.
Some of the teachers said I could be a doctor or a nurse if I want to.
I just decided to stop dreaming because of the problems I was facing at my father's house.
Now that it's all gone, I can start dreaming again right?
Yes! I want to be a nurse!
I'm going to tell Myra and see what she can do about it.
So, that's like it. I never knew Ryder would agree to change my course or if he would still be able to help out.
But well, I got the course I want and Myra went for international relations.
Myra resumed yesterday but I'm supposed to resume today because of the changes I made.
I'm so excited.
Myra has gone out this morning. So, it's left to me to go to school alone.
I haven't seen or heard from Ryder.
Aside from him helping me with my studies, he didn't bother to see me.
I don't want to see him either. I'm doing great already.
By the time I start receiving lectures, I won't have the luxury of time to think.
I put on a white crop top and blue jean trousers.
I take a gold bag and walk out of the house.
I feel sudden happiness. Seriously, I've finally been able to dream big just like I wanted.
No one will be able to stop me now. Not even Heidi, her sisters, or her mother can stop me now.
I take a cab and I soon arrive at school.
I hurry to the lecture hall as Myra has described for me the night before.
I got in early but some students have already occupied the first and second row.
I find a seat for myself faster because more students were coming in already.
The lecture was fun and well, it made me yearn for more. I'm going to gist Myra about everything.
The lecture was over but I decided to stay awhile in the class.
My phone beeps and I delve into my bag for it.
The moment I touch it and pull it out, my eyes went afar at some ladies talking.
The first person I see makes my eyes widen.
Heidi? How the heck is she here? And why is she even in this school to begin with?
It doesn't even make any sense that Heidi will still be in school. She's supposed to be a graduate already.
Or maybe I'm hallucinating.
I have been thinking about her for a while now that I'm seeing her.
"Heidi!" Someone screams a bit closer to her.
She looks back, "Tender, are you alright?" She laughs.
The lady walks to her, then pulls her along.
She didn't look back at me as she walks out of the classroom.
My heart made a sudden thud. Fear grip me and I stare until she was out of sight.
I thought she saw me or she would look back and realize it was me. What would she have done?
The hard breathing of my heart wouldn't even let me think.
Heidi is in this school? And not only that. She's in my class, reading my course?
Same thing?
