The Last Trimester

Melissa and Marilyn returned to the Uni to continue with their second trimester.

Melissa, on her way to her first day of school.

It wasn't a good day at all, and alike other times, very few students attended class, maybe because of the rain.

 It had been pouring rain all morning.

The two sisters were very busy with their studies and practice. 

After classes they usually went to the cafeteria to continue studying. For them, it was the hardest trimesters of their careers. To top it off, neither of them had their boyfriend around.

Melissa couldn't see Richard cause he had already graduated and gone home. It was likely they wouldn't see each other until Melissa finished the University and started the wedding preparations.

But Melissa had hope he could come visit her even if it was just once.

For Marilyn, things weren't as simple as they were for her sister. She just wouldn't see Kyle again, cause they had broken up at the beginning of the term.

Their relationship had been argument after argument, until they discovered that they weren't 

Marilyn was alone again, and without much motivation to study, but even so, she worked hard to finish the trimester. Though, sometimes she couldn't help missing Kyle.

 

The worse was that there wasn't a chance to fix things cause Kyle, just like Richard, had graduated already and didn't live at the campus anymore.

At the end of the second trimester, Melissa and Marilyn decided not to return to Starlight Shores.

 This time they decided to spend the summer at St. John's. 

It was a different experience and was useful for the sister to reflect about their lives and the path each one of them would take after graduating.

Melissa's plans were very clear: she wanted to go back to Starlight Shores, get a job and married her beloved Richard. Marilyn didn't have the least idea of which would be the next thing she'd do with her life. She was still depressed about her break up with Kyle.

Melissa spent their vacaction trying to cheer her up, but she wasn't successful.

During the third trimester, the sister were much more relaxed, they attended a lot of fraternity parties and had a blast.

The problem was Marilyn continued to be depressed which sometimes made her go overboard with the 'juice' keg, a tradition of the University parties. Several times Melissa had to 'drag' her back home, literally. 

And when she came to her senses, Marilyn felt even more sad.

But luckily, at the end of the trimester, Marilyn's life took a total turn when she met the love of her life: the hopeless romantic and student leader: Jeffery Dean.

 

The crush between the two was instantaneous! What happened with this new romance we will talk about later.

And since Marilyn was practically the whole day and night with Jeffery, this time it was Meli who spend her hours alone at home, watching TV or studying, or in long phone calls with Richard. 

Or at the library.

Or doing business presentations to practice.

The last trimester was coming to an end. The final exams were around the corner, and with them the long awaited Graduation.
