Audrey & Third Person
Audrey’s POV
The walk back to campus was mostly silent, save for the occasional sniffle or cleared throat. Other than that, the only sounds between Gavin and I were that of our footsteps echoing on the pavement.
It wasn’t until the brick facade of the campus dorms came into view that Gavin finally broke the awkward tension between us. He stopped in his tracks, his hands stuffed into his pockets, and turned to look at me.
“Audrey, could we… talk?”
That word made me blanch visibly: talk. I knew this was coming. I supposed a part of me had known the moment those pictures went viral, but even more so when I wouldn’t admit to Edwin that Gavin and I were on a date.
Goddess, I had acted like such an i***t. I could still hear the way my voice had quavered
