*Sunday*
Karla and I have been talking about the presentation for two hours straight. She has done a good job and seeing my work, I think I have too. We have to hand in this presentation next week.
"We only need a conclusion and then print it out. It wasn't that bad, for the first year, right?"
I nodded and smiled at her.
"You send me yours and I will edit it and print it out tomorrow at the University. I have a free period tomorrow morning so I can do it."
"Sure. I will send it to you right away. By the way, did you hear about Collin and Rhonda?"
"No. What happened?"
"They were kicked out of the dorm because the maid found them doing drugs."
"What? Are you serious? Were they in his flat or hers?"
"His. And that's not all. Rhonda's parents found out that she was doing drugs and took her out of Harvard. She went back to North Dakota."
"You have got to be kidding me. What happens now?"
"She hasn't called me or written back. I don't know anything."
"I feel so bad. We warned her about him though. Not only we did, but his friends warned her too. She should have stayed with us. Nothing of the sort would have happened if she had listened."
Stop judging.
"You are right. I even went to see her a couple of days ago, but she wasn't in her room. I went by Collin's dormitory and asked if he knew about her whereabouts. He shut the door on my face. So disrespectful. I hate that guy. To be honest, he got what he deserved, but Rhonda didn't deserve what happened to her."
"You are right. I'll write her an email tonight. Hopefully she will answer. Or maybe her parents will."
"Bet."
A knock on the door distracted us. "Come in."
Jason comes in, not wearing a t-shirt as usual, wearing short pants and his sneakers. I bet he went for a run.
"Hey. I am going out tonight. Leyla is coming with me. Do you want to come?"
He is going out with the guys and Adam will be there too. Do I want to go?
"Uhm. I'll have to think about it."
"Sure. Tell me later." He looks away from me and stares at Karla. His lips form a cute smile and then gets out, closing the door behind him.
"Is it just me, or did I just experience my first orgasm," Karla said and we burst out laughing.
"Oh my God, Karla."
"It's the first time I have seen him smile at me. He has never smiled before." she had opened her eyes so wide, they looked like they were about to jump out of her head.
"I know, right?"
"Do you think I should play hard to get? Maybe that will trigger his masculinity."
"Haha, damn girl. Hey, uhm, do you want to come with me tonight?"
"You mean you and your hot roommate? Hell yeah I'm coming!"
Oh boy.
"I WILL BE HERE at 7 pm sharp. I have to get dressed and washed up and look sexy for your hot roommate. Oh wait! Where are we going?"
"I have no idea. Just keep it casual."
"Good idea. Okay, see ya sluuuuut."
"Take care of the hot feelings before you come back."
"You know I will babeeeee."
I wave her goodbye and get inside the building. I take the stairs and on the way up, I see a guy I have never encountered before in here.
"Hello," I said nicely.
He looks at me and his eye color changes from yellow to dark brown in a millisecond.
"Hello," he says in a deep, deep voice, making my body shiver as if something cold just went through me.
Did I just see his eye color change or what? Am I going crazy?
Slowly, I walk away and after walking up a couple of stairs, I turn around, because I feel like I am being watched.
As I turned around, I listen to the footsteps getting louder but distant. Was he waiting at the stairs?
This is some weird s**t I have been experiencing lately. The student life does take the sanity out of ya.
I open the door to the apartment and get inside. Closing the door, I head to the kitchen to drink some water. When I walk in, I see Leyla talking on the phone.
"I will rock that pu. . ."
"Please stop!" I said before she continued.
"Damn you Emma. Stop ruining my phonesex!"
"Do it privately at least," I whisper and try not to laugh.
"Get out." she shouts and throws a towel at me."
"Jeez, relax. I want to drink some water."
"Take this bottle and leave," she whispers.
"It's just my roommate, baby. She is taking forever to drink the water," she says to the person on the phone.
"No, she isn't interested."
"In what?" I asked before taking a long sip of water.
"On a threesome," Leyla says, smirking, and I spit out the water.
"Hell no." I whispered-yelled, and left the kitchen immediately.
"Worked," Leyla shouts, feeling triumphant.
"Shut up," I shouted and, got into my room.
I looked at the clock. It's almost 3 pm. I have to shower and start getting ready for tonight.
Taking my phone out of my jeans pocket, I look at it and see that I have 3 new messages.
One is from Jason and two are from Adam.
I opened Jason's first and I gasped at the message.
"What's your friends deal? If she is single, tell her she can join us tonight, if you're coming."
I wasn't expecting that. That was pretty direct. He had never shown any interest in Karla. Why now?
I write back: "She agreed to come with us. :)" I hope that answers his question.
I finally open Adam's chat and read his messages.
"What are you doing cutie? Jason told me he asked you to come with us tonight. Do you want to come? It would be great if you would. We could spend a little bit more time together."
He wants me to come? I thought he would disagree.
"By the way, because you are coming, I don't need to come one hour early, do I?"
I feel a sting of disappointment. I really want to spend some time alone with him.
You will, on Wednesday. Stop being such a baby. Be cool. Don't be needy.
That's right. If I look needy he will think I am immature. We don't want that.
I decide to write back.
"Yes, he invited me and I accepted. I am even bringing a friend. And no, you don't need to come one hour early, but if you still want to, that's fine with me."
I hope he says yes. I hope he comes. Not after what felt like a long time, he writes back.
"Okay. See you in a couple of hours cutie."
What does that mean? Is he coming an hour early or not?
I don't know what to do. Why is he so mysterious?
Because if he wasn't, you wouldn't like him.
My subconscious rolls her eyes at me and I do the same.
Let's not think about him then. Let's get ready.
"HE SAID WHAT?" Karla shouted over the phone, when I told her what Jason had texted me.
"Yeah. Can you believe it?"
"Of course I can. I am hot, sexy and cute. Why wouldn't he like me?" She shouted and I could even hear her jumping up and down.
"You are right. You are all those things."
"Damn right I am. And I am finally allowed to drink alcohol!"
"Maybe that's why he is suddenly interested in you."
I burst out laughing, but Karla did not appreciate my joke.
"Jerk. You are such a jerk."
"Thanks babe. Don't forget your ID tonight, okay?"
"I won't. See you in 30 minutes."
"I'll be the one in blue."
"You have got to be kidding me, Lancaster."
"Are you wearing blue too?"
"Hell yeah I am. It's my lucky colour."
"I forgot about that. Okay, I will change."
"You better, or I will whip your ass."
"With a flogger like Christian Grey does?"
"You would want that, wouldn't you?"
"I would love me some Christian Grey."
"Me too, girl. Me too," she said in a very sassy voice, making me laugh.
That's the best thing about having a girlfriend you can share everything with, without getting judged. I love her so much.
I wish Claire and Debbie were here. We all would have the best time of our lives. They would love Karla.
