Blurb

I can hear him call my name Pearl, I must be dreaming - I can feel Jayden’s breath right above that spot on my neck that makes me dizzy and weak in my knees I am looking into his smoldering light brown eyes they look light brown I always feel they change their color according to his mood. I am so close to him facing him taking in his handsome face his tousled light brown hair, his razor-sharp jaw line, stubble that’s so sexy I think he hasn’t shaved in a while his fair milky complexion - his hands holding me and pushing me closer to his well-built chest with his strong arms. There is no space whatsoever between us. He's leaning in to kiss me just inches from my lips he is looking into my eyes. Kiss me already...

Damn there goes the alarm!!!

I am a Gemini - which means I am always torn between two, sometimes - multiple things. I am the most indecisive person I know. Can I make the right choice when it comes to love?

The beginning
        While walking on the side walks of my university I can hear Ariana calling out my name "Pearl wait up". I look back and see her wearing a chic new white blouse my guess is - its either channel or some high fashion brand 6 inch red Sillitoe's a black fitted jeans and she is practically running in them towards me. "f**k my life. There goes my perfectly drama free day" I thought and I stop walking for her to catch up to me wearing smile white sneaker, NYC pull over and blue shorts , I don't want her to fall off on the side walk because of me I have no intentions of being in another one of her drama's - I have had enough of those in this lifetime - during my time in NYU. I still don't know why am I friends with this rich, uptight, frenemy.          Yes, she is the most vicious person if you cross her. I have seen what she did with Adriene & Ryder's relationship. Thank god! we are just few days away until we all graduate from college and are off to our own lives so that I don't have to face any of them again. No scratch that - I still want to be friends with Adriene, Ryder, Russel, Adam, Kevin, and Jayden - Oh yes Jayden! but her nope thank you very much. I am dead sure she is here to ask the whereabouts of either Ryder or Jayden - She wants them all I know and she does anything and everything possible to get them.         I have put up with her attitude, demands, mood swings for 2 years - that's when we all became friends, I mean I become friends with them - they were already a tight group of extremely rich and  popular - I and Adriene were introduced to Ryder, Russel, Adam, Kevin, Jayden by Ariana who was already very close to them on second thoughts - actually they were very close to each other, they knew very small details of each other's life - they were childhood friends and had been living in the same neighborhood all their life's in just few miles from Greenwich Village on the west side of Manhattan in New York City. All of them are from rich families that were family friends and never had to see a poor day in their lives.      Me - on the other hand 'm from an old town near Staten Islands and my family still there I am not from a well to do background my mom had to struggle to get me to all the top schools after my dad fell ill when I was in 8th grade. I studied my way through school - kept my head in the books, was a president of the dance committee - that is the only talent I had. With my good grades and participating in all the extra curriculars I got a full scholarship to NYC but still I had to pay for dorms and my tuition. I worked all the odd jobs possible to make sure I graduate college. I didn't have any money to spare nor time so for 2 years I didn't have any friends I was on my own but karma had to way to get me to interact with the college's popular students as I had dancing skills they found out through my **/f******k and wanted me to be part of their creative drama & sports association and I needed the credits to pass with honors I know I choose economics and marketing management-  but extra credits never hurt!      Ariana "Girl, look at that ass in those shorts, but did you sleep at all you look like s**t". Wohhh! Was that a compliment or a comment. She's right I did not sleep because  of the same dream I keep having but I cannot tell her because - A) she will destroy my reputation, I get bullied enough as it is. B) It's about her current target Jayden - she wants to be his girlfriend. Like she wanted to with Ryder but he brutally dumped her for Adriene. "I had to catch up on my essays" I lied. She started walking along with me. Oh god why!! She must have some gossip to share. "Guess who stopped by my dorm last night" I didn't have to I knew she had met with Ryder. "Ryder showed up and wanted to clear the misunderstanding". I knew all about her intentions with him. I didn't want to discuss it. I secretly had a crush 2 years back on Ryder - he was the typical tan, well built, husky voice oh and so hot Mr. Popular Footballer. I have embarrassed myself multiple times when I am with the group by being total smitten and red cheeks and now I cannot stop thinking how naïve I was. "So he said I shouldn't be waiting for him to come around and that if I continue to create problems with Adriene, he wont speak to me again. So I told him to stick it up his ass and stop lying to her and end whatever they had" She kept ranting and knowing her I guess Ryder would have left the conversation without getting to a conclusion.     We were almost at the classroom and I went in to submit my essay. I came out Ariana was waiting for me and we were just climbing down the cafeteria stairs and that's when I saw him. Looking like a Greek god white shirt black jeans, black snickers sleeves rolled up till his elbow and his guitar on his back. He turned side ways when the other looked at me he was with Adam & some other boys I don't know their names and said "hi".     Ariana replied "Hi hotty" and hugged him tightly with all her 34 B boobs God I hate her.     I stood shyly hearing him laugh and giggle I didn't want too much attention on me. I had not showered, had no make up, messy bun and baggy eyes why did I have to bump into him of all the days. It's true right - "when you are in your worst attire you end up meeting all your crushes".    After a moment of their conversation he looked at me with those light brown eyes and "cluck" I went back to my dream last night I can feel Jayden’s breath right above that spot on my neck that makes me dizzy and weak in my knees I am looking into his smoldering light brown eyes they look light brown I always feel they change their color according to his mood. I am so close to him facing him taking in his handsome face his tousled light brown hair, his razor-sharp jaw line, stubble that’s so sexy I think he hasn’t shaved in a while his fair milky complexion - his hands holding me and pushing me closer to his well-built chest with his strong arms. There is no space whatsoever between us. He's leaning in to kiss me just inches from my lips he is looking into my eyes. Kiss me already... Damn there goes the alarm!!!  "Pearl are you coming" Jayden is asking me in his melodious voice the one that comes from their core and sounds so sexy. I can see his lips moving and I am awestruck. Ariana shakes me and pulls my hand - "Yes" is all I manage to say. Wait, but where are we going, s**t! how absent minded can I get? I am not even dressed appropriately.
