leaned over and kissed my cheek gently.
“I’ll be with you and all your friends are waiting to see you.” He looked into my eyes. “You will be fine, I promise.” I was speechless as usual. His eyes had me in a trance. How could anyone be so gorgeous? I thought to myself smiling up at him. “If you need me for anything just text me, and I will be there…ok?”
“Ok.” He took my hand, walking me to his car, the engine still running and the heat on. The air outside was still frigid as spring was still a few months away. Will closed my door and I took a deep breath, trying not to get nervous.
The day went better than I had expected. I got a card and flowers from all my friends welcoming me back. My professors were all happy to see me, and helped me get my work organized. I felt almost regular as I walked to my classes with all the other students. The drama of the frat party incident was basically old news on campus by now. Not a soul asked me about it, either out of courtesy or kindness. I was just happy nobody was talking about what happened or Todd Downs.
I was not too far behind, thanks to my home classes. Will was with me except for two hours that he had biology and history, advanced courses. I unfortunately got a jolt of bad news after Will and I had lunch. Beth rushed over and told me Todd had been making comments on his Face Book page about me. She said he mentioned something about how I should watch where I walk on campus. I didn’t know how he could get to me, with him still on house arrest. I did know Todd’s father had hired a new set of attorney’s and our official court date was March 15. So far, they hadn’t been able to put off the trial any longer, and I was going to be glad to get it over with.
William’s eyes grew dark as Beth told us other comments she heard Todd had been posting on line. Will had a dangerous look about him, and I tried not to get scared. He put his arm around me protectively. “I won’t let him near you love, don’t worry.” He kissed my forehead.
“You are so lucky, Corrine.” Beth looked over to Will, a grin on her face.
“Are you sure you don’t have a brother?” Beth asked.
“Nope not to my knowledge. I do have some cousins…that’s all.” He shook his head smiling. Beth sighed.
“Just my luck, well anyway, watch out for psycho Todd. I got to get to class, call ya later, Corrine.” She dashed off. Will never moved his arm around me still. He seemed tense just like I was. I felt sick just knowing Todd was saying things. It didn’t matter if they were online or not, Todd was insane and threats could easily become reality. I hadn’t forgotten the creepy voice mail he left me a few months ago. I knew he still wanted to get me back.
The day was far from over. I had to ignore the fact Todd could possibly be anywhere on campus if I was going to make it through. William was so tense; he reluctantly let me go to my next class. It was the last one of the day. I had lecture to attend for history and Will had a class across campus. He argued with me, he wanted to wait out in the courtyard until my class was over. I couldn’t let him do that.
I had to buck up and be tough. Todd’s stupid comments weren’t going to scare me. I had to learn to put him in my past. Will gave me a kiss, his eyes filled with concern as he turned to head across campus. I quickly walked down the busy halls to my lecture, which was in one of the oldest parts of the college. I found a seat in back and tried to focus on my professor’s monotone voice, and his ungodly boring lecture.
I was so happy when it was over. I was starving and couldn’t wait to see Will. I knew he hated to leave me alone, but it was obvious everything was going to be fine. The lecture hall quickly emptied as I realized in my hurry to see Will I had left my purse behind. I quickly ran back to the hall and grabbed it before they locked the doors. I carried my
