Nathan had followed Victoria into her room in the girl's dorm, promptly shutting the door behind them. "Come on Victoria, you have to do this. I don't want to be the third wheel of your girlfriend and Warren," begged Nathan, an act he typically never did. "Please Vic, I'd owe you."
"Do you really think it would be that bad?" asked Victoria, sitting down on her couch.
"Yes, they will make so many nerdy jokes that I won't get and I won't enjoy myself. Come on, you know you wanna spend time with Max. It would be a double date. I cleared it with them already," stated Nathan. "Plus we'll be out of town all weekend, we had to rent two hotel rooms anyway. Come on, don't say you don't want to."
Victoria filed her nails, musing softly, "It would be nice to spend time with Max. Hmm...what is it you guys are going to?"
"There's a movie festival that's happening Friday night through early morning Saturday. Warren stupidly invited Max, inadvertently making me a third wheel. We'd get to skip classes Friday to travel up," started Nathan. "And then after a midday nap, we can do whatever. Warren and Max were thinking about seeing some of Portland's sights since the festival is just outside town. But I promise Vic, you'll have fun."
Victoria sighed, she was going to be pestered by Nathan all week if she didn't agree now. Plus, she would get to hang out with her girlfriend, and she did know how much this meant to Nathan. He couldn't be open about his relationship like she and Max could, not with the way his parents were. This might be his only real date for a while. She nudged him with her elbow, "If not, you owe me. I'm in. But it'll be nice to get away. I take it we have to take Warren's car?"
Nathan nodded, "It's the only one with enough room for all of us. I got my dad to book the rooms under our names for photo taking this weekend. So we need to do that."
"Yeah, or else your father will get how he gets. I'll make sure Max or I takes pictures of you and Warren for you, you're welcome," she said. "So you wanna light a joint and throw our cares away?"
"I don't know how you convinced Max to let you get high," replied Nathan. "But yes."
Victoria shrugged, going over to her desk, "It was easy, plus it helped you out. Grab my lighter." Victoria then opened the drawer of her desk, pulling out the false bottom to grab a pre-rolled joint from a plastic baggie. She placed the false bottom back into place after she pulled out the joint. Nathan had gone over to her purse and pulled out Victoria's pastel pink lighter and was already sitting back on her couch.
When Victoria sat back down, he handed her the lighter. The two smoked in the quiet for a while, before mellowing out. Victoria exhaled the smoke as she spoke, "I can't believe I was the first person you came out to. I mean, there's your sister."
"You're family Vic, I love you or whatever. I can't believe you came out to me right after," replied Nathan. The room once again hushed until an hour passed. Then Max had entered the room, altering Nathan to the time and insisting he left so he wouldn't get caught in Victoria's room. Max always seemed to look out for Victoria and it turn that transferred to Nathan. Nathan went and waited on a bench outside the girl's dorm for Warren. It was Warren's rule that if Nathan smoked with Victoria, Warren was there to make sure Nathan got back to his room safely. However, Nathan really didn't seem to mind.
