It's been three days and I still haven't even laid eyes on jack, I usually see him around, I mean he's in most of my lessons for crying out loud, and he hasn't been to any, well none that i've been in, he's not on the quad, or in any of the study rooms. He can't have gone, Is he just avoiding me? I'm seriously worried about him, I know it's got nothing to do with me, and I don't even know him, but when someone has a mini fit in front of you eyes, someone you admire, and then they just vanish you sorta begin to assume the worst.
I agreed to meet with my dad to go get information about someone who has just walked off the edge of the earth without a single trace.
I physically couldn't stand this, i know he's somewhere on campus, but where? i need to talk to him, i need to know if i'd done something, my anxiety was easting me alive, every negative thought turned into a small theory, a theory that i started to believe in, maybe he's dead, maybe is avoiding me, what if he's alone, feeling really down and he doesn't even have someone there to look out for him or cheer him up, or maybe he's perfectly fine and doesn't have anything wrong with him, then again, I am a pretty good judge of character, I don't think i've gotten anyone wrong yet.
THATS IT!
I'm off to find him, i'll go see what dorm he's in and look if he's there, and if not i'll have to think of a plan B...

I found Rian a few hours later and asked if he'd seen Jack
"No mate, why? Didn't know you two were close, don't see the interest to be honest, from what i've heard he told all his mates to basically fuck off, seems like an arsehole" I hate to admit it, but I wanted to go fucking furious at Rian, I know he was just looking out for me but seriously, who the hell is he!
"Yea well not all rumors are true, I might explain some other day, you haven't seen Vic have you?" I was trying to stay cool, and frankly I wasn't in the mood to argue.
"The last time I saw him was about half an hour ago talking to Zack down by music" I thanked him and half jogged half sprinted to the music room to see only Zack on his phone, fuck me this is like a shitty game of hide and seek here.
"Zack" I shouted as i walked toward him "have you seen either Jack, or Vic?" sounding a little out of breath
"Yea, Vic just went to the office thing about room keys, he apparently lost his, left only a few minutes ago, and no I haven't seen Jack, what's this sudden craze with hi-" I cut him off i couldn't be arsed explaining or getting annoyed again
"Don't bother, I need to go, cheers Zack" And proceeded to sprint in the direction the vic was heading.
Whilst I was on the move it came to my attention that I could ask the woman at the desk about where jack was.
When I finally reached up the vic who as about 10 meters from getting a new key cut and paying like $35 -poor sod- I stopped him to catch my breath and began to tell him my little predicament whilst we walked slowly, he agreed that might be a good idea, find out where he was and just check up.
As we reached the office i met a woman called Perry, i smiled and asked
"Hi I need to know the dorm number of Jack Barakat please" Man did I sound desperate.
"We can't just give information out randomly sir, I'm sorry" She sounded very sincere but, well shit, now what, i need to know, not like i could ask everyone in this place, nobody even knows the kid… wait
"Well I'm a close friend of his and he's been ill and asked me to bring him music assignments, but i forgot his room number and I lost my phone the other week back, honestly I wouldn't ask unless it was important" I smiled again, i hoped to god that this would work
"Well, I suppose if you have to deliver work, then I'll let you off this one time, but I suggest writing it down, this is only a one off. He's in room 4309, block D, on the west side"
"Thank you so much, this will mean a lot to him" before I grabbed the paper and told vic I'd see him later and proceeded to run, again as fast as I could to block D, west side, room number, 4309. I sure hope he's all right...

Notes

This isn't the best story, I'm fully aware, but I enjoy writing it, so i suppose as long as I'm satisfied thats all that matters, anyone else who appreciates is just a lovely bonus :) Comment, rate, honestly, anything even negative, It's just nice to hear something
