Della

As I quickly escaped into the hallway, I accidentally bumped into Della who was on her way in. Similar to when Ava touched me earlier, I felt a small electric jolt pass between us.

I winced at the contact, expecting Della to go into one of her regular tirades of hatred towards me, but when I peeked at her face, she had a similar blank expression to what I had seen on Ava earlier.

It lasted just a second before her face cleared and she looked at me with a subdued rage.

"Look where you're going, oaf." She growled at me.

"S-sorry, Della... I'll make it up to you later, but I gotta go." I quickly made my excuse/escape and ran away to go attend class for the day.

I major in computer science, like a fool. I joined with the hype around the future of computers and because I liked them, but I was finding it to be much more of a headache than I was prepared for. My grades were still good, but let's just say it kept me busy while at the apartment.

The good news is that today was my final exam. I would still have to stay at the apartment over break because flights were expensive, but once I was through this hurdle, I would be in the clear until next semester.
