Hell - Bent

Katherine's POV:

I breathed out a sigh of relief as I dropped my pen on the desk, letting the soft clatter echo throughout the still fairly crowded room. I got a couple looks, but I honestly could've cared less. I smiled and tried to keep my composure as I practically skipped to the front of the room, handing the professor my paper, which she took with a knowing smile.

She winked at me and I laughed lightly, before quickly rushing out of the room. I leaned against the door the second it shut with a click, and then realization washed over me. I had just completed all of my exams for my first year in university. I was doen until September. I was free. No more studying and cramming, no more sleepless nights full of anxiety and breakdowns, at least, for now. For now, i was done with school.

For now.

I screamed as the second I exited the building, harshly tugging my dirty hair from it's sloppy ponytail, and running my still trembling fingers through it hastily. i giggled a little insanely, as I whipped out my phone for what seemed like the first time in months. i immediately called Aleks, knowing that she would be finished around the same time, hopefully. To my disappointment, it went straight to voicemail, but I refused for that to ruin my sudden good mood. So instead I called the last person I would've ever called. A person I haven't spoken to in months to be quite honest, and i felt awful about that. I called my mom.

"Hey Mommabear!" I said blissfully as she picked up.

"Katherine! Sweeite, how are you? Wait, are you finally done?" She asked eagerly, her excitement nearly matching mine.

i nodded my head vigorously, "oh my god, yes! done with exams and studying and all that shit! Until next term at least."

"i'm so proud of you sweetheart! Bot watch your language, you're getting as bad as your father," she scolded making me roll my eyes. She's such a mom.

I laughed and agreed with her, spinning around to walk back to the dorms to dump my school stuff. My heart skipped a beat and my breath caught in my throat at what I saw though. It was someone I haven't seen in months, since January to be exact, an it was near the end of April now. Someone I had promptly begun to ignore and get over, someone I actually thought had forgotten about me. I guess I was wrong.

Andy was leaning against a tree, smirking smugly, though his baby blue eyes which matched my own were lit up like a kid on Christmas. He was, as usual, dressed in all black, and he straightened his posture when our eyes met. He had been obviously staring at me while i had been completely oblivious to his actions, which actually angered me. But at the moment, i was too stunned at his sudden appearance.

"mom, I have to call you back," i barely murmured into my cell, ending the call before she could even respond.

"Well, well, I never expected for you to be one to hang up on dear 'mother'," he comments, sauntering over to meet me.

I'm standing frozen, unable to move or react until he reaches for a strand of blonde hair, brushing it back from my face. That's when I snap, suddenly free from my brief paralysis, and I cringe away from him, his touch practically burning my flesh.

"what are you doing here andy? stalking more freshmen?" I inquire, backing away slowly.

"So are you done with exams? i figured we could celebrate," he says bluntly answering my question with a question of his own.

I shake my head, and turn away from him, without so much as a 'goodbye', when my shoulder is suddenly jerked around, so I'm once again face-to-face with him. I'm about to slap him for even putting his hands on me, but he's got my hands pinned helplessly at my sides. His arms are wrapped tightly around my waist, keeping me in place snug against his lean chest. Andy tilts his head down to meet mine, and our lips connect.

And fireworks.

Notes
