The Particular Troubles of Confused Young Adults

(( Okay. XD
SHE'S GONNA BE A REBEL AND SKIP~!! ))

"Well, there's no use in going now. My professor doesn't let late students into the classroom..." Katie said with a sigh. She turned to follow Jake, since she didn't have anything to do now. And she wouldn't have to go to work until later on in the day, so she would be free until then.

Jake noticed she was following him. "Why aren't you going to college?"

[katie;]

"Because, like I just said, my professor won't let me into the classroom. So, I can't go to my classes today, since this one professor teaches the courses that I'm supposed to attend today," Katie said with a sigh. She normally wasn't trustful with people, but for some reason, she felt like she could trust this random stranger. And she didn't even know his name yet. Maybe she should try to stay in her shell, so she wasn't hurt...

Jake smiled slightly, hoping this could be a chance to get a new friend. "So. . I was wondering.." he trailed off.

[katie;]

"Wondering what...?" Katie asked, raising an eyebrow as she walked alongside Jake. She put her hands in her pockets while she walked and sighed quietly. How come she was putting a single ounce of trust into Jake, and she didn't even know his freaking name? Let alone, who he was or if he would just break promise after promise to her. Or even maybe treat her like garbage, just like people did to her in middle school and high school?

Jake stopped walking and smiled slightly at her. "If you would be my friend?"

[katie;]

Katie stopped in her tracks, freezing at the word 'friend.' Last time someone was her 'friend' she had ended up alone and crying on her prom night, since her so-called 'friend' had stabbed her in the back and tricked her into believing her high school crush was interested in her. But the thing was, they had promised that they would never have done anything like that to her.
And that's what had killed her the most. Oh, and when she found out on prom night that it was just a big joke, they had also thrown punch on her and ruined her dress and everything, then said It doesn't matter, because it was already ugly.
The brunette looked at Jake. "I-I don't know..." she said quietly. The walls she kept up around her most of the time were put back up, and she was suddenly shy and unsure of everything she was saying or thinking.

Jake frowned, sorrow in his eyes as he looked back down. "Okay.."

[katie;]

Katie looked at Jake and her eye widened slightly. She didn't mean to make him feel sad! "N-No! I mean... S-Sure, but it'll take me a while to fully trust you...." She said quietly.

[seadragooncat]

Jake looked up slightly with a frown still. "Had a bad day?" He asked with a frown and a glint of passion in his eyes.
