"Whoa! Hey, watch it!" I shout towards the driver seat, my legs resting against the dashboard repeatedly bang against it. My used A Midsummer Night's Dream copy was toppling around my lap as I used my hands to hull myself up a bit. I glare towards Jolene, my best friend since we were in elementary school, who was also glaring towards the road as she grips the steering wheel of her old, grey Honda. She never was the best driver.

Jolene looks like she's gonna rip her lip open from biting it down so hard. She drives over the curb as we enter our new apartment building's parking building.

"You drove on top of the curb Jolene. You're one of the reasons why men think women are such horrible drivers." I add, getting a sick but at the same time gleeful feeling as I see Jolene grind her teeth. And then the guilt sinks in. I frown as I stick my face of my book and try to read the same line I've been reading, or trying to read I should say, as the guilt still nips at my mind.

"Shut your mouth, Ava." Jolene snaps back. I huff as my body moves along with the shaking the car does as we wind up the floors of the parking building, trying to find an empty parking space.

Jolene and I were about to start our first year of college. We were going to attend Hollows University in our home state Washington, where you are more likely to commit suicide because of the dreary sky than California or Florida or some other fucking sunny state.

Jolene managed to get a full scholarship while my parents luckily had saved enough money to get me here, plus I would hopefully have a job in the University that would help me with the expenses. I'll just be scarping by, that means only fast food and no knew clothes for a couple of months but it's fine, I'll manage somehow.

"Ah, you little asshole!" Jolene yells beside me. "I was going to take that spot!"

I pop my head up a bit to see who the poor bastard is before I realize I just don't care and resume my reading. I began to shake my leg as it rests against the car mirror to keep it from going to sleep.

I scrunched my eyes, determined to read this line even if it kills me.

The reason why I was reading A Midsummer Night's Dream was because I just wanted to read all of Shakespeare's works before I started my classes. As I had predicted I hadn't finished all of his books, but hey, I tried.

"Seriously, when will I find a damn parking spot?" Jolene is just about ready to blow her head off.

"Just calm down and keep on looking, you'll find a spot eventually."

"Oh, my God!" Jolene yells as the car stops suddenly.

I am lunged forward from the sudden stop. I let out an 'Oof' as I catch myself.

"What the hell, Jolene?" I turn my gaze towards Jolene, her brown cheeks colored pink.

"I just saw Jacob!"

And just like that I turn into a blushing idiot. I've had a crush on Jacob Black, this kid from our Rez who also attends this school since middle school. Just thinking about him caused my heart to pound, sometimes painfully.

I really need to get that checked out.

"Where?" I practically yell, my eyes wide.

I didn't have to roam long until I found him. Jacob was legit almost 7 feet tall with a body that looked like it was carved out of stone. Yeah, I've seen him shirtless and it was fucking amazing.

Jacob didn't notice us as he locked his truck and began the long decent to the bottom floor. Once he was out of our sight we both froze for a second, taking it our ridiculous reaction to just seeing Jacob.

You see, not only did I have a crush on Jacob so did Jolene which fucking sucks. Oh, and that's not the best part, we both came to an agreement before we came here to not fight over Jacob, so it' won't interfere with our friendship. We both said that if he showed interest in the other we wouldn't fight over it. But I know, and she knows, and you know that this won't end well.

I have a feeling that Jolene will just steal him away from me, like if she's planning to take him away from me, even before I had an honest try to get him.

I settle in my seat as I turn my gaze to my book once more, finally able to read the damn line I had been trying to read for the last 10 minutes.

'The course of love never did run smooth'

You got that right.
