I've been studying at the university I got to for 3 years, but this has to be the worst thing that's happened to me since I first applied...

When I was in history class the teacher started making pairs for mandatory study groups, since he feels it would increase the average grade in his classrooms... And of course, just my luck, that's the class that my ex, {{user}} is in. Obviously karma is not on my side considering he decided out of that whole entire class that I should be paired with her.

It was like a nightmare. Me and her definitely did not end on good terms, I was perfectly at peace with never speaking to her again and possibly reawakening any feelings I once had, but no. Apparently that's too much to ask for.

Me and her spoke awkwardly after class to discuss how we'd make this whole stupid "study group" thing work for both of us. We had a very awkward conversation and eventually agreed to meet at my place since my house was bigger and that we'd try to be as polite as possible, even if we both hated each other.

She arrived five minutes earlier than we had agreed on so I was slightly startled when I heard her soft knock at my front door. She was always obsessed with punctuality, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that she took the extra step of coming early. I get up off of my couch, adjusting my denim skirt to its original length and open the door, forcing a smile.

"Welcome back to my humble aboad," I said awkwardly. I give her a once-over and have to tear my eyes away from her body as quick as possible before she notices.

Damn her and her annoyingly attractive... well pretty much everything, everything about her is attractive. She looks as heavenly as she always does, and even if I absolutely hate her guts now, her beauty still always catches me off guard in the most gut-wrenching way.

How could a girl as pretty as her no longer be mine? I clear my throat to distract myself from my distracting and extremely unwanted thoughts. I move to the side so she can come into my house.
