Here is a new story for you
I lay in my bed, flipping through the channels on the TV. I just got off the phone with my mom. Yes that's right, I talk to my mom nightly. She calls me every single night and if I don't answer the phone, she will keep calling until I do. My dad is a different story, I am ok with talking to him about once a week when he has a chance to call. He has his own show in Vegas, so he tends to be pretty busy most of the time. I am trying to find something decent to watch on a Friday night. I know it sounds pathetic but I don't have a date and I haven't found a girl at this college who seems interested in dating me. I am probably a bigger loser than I think I am.
Ross walks in the door after going downstairs for a little snack. He tosses me a package of cheese crackers. These are my favorite. Cheese crackers and Dr. Pepper are my life.
"My sister and Rachel will be here tomorrow." He says.
Rachel, I hear a lot about her. I hear a lot about how much he loves her. I just wish that he would hurry up and ask her out already. "Great." I haven't met either one of them yet but I would like too.
"Do you want to go see if we can get some girls phone numbers?" He asked hopeful.
I just shrug. "I don't know about you, but I am a little tired of being turned down. Plus girls talk, they probably tell their friends how dumb they think we are. What we should be doing, is asking girls out that don't live on campus."
Ross nods, intrigued, like he hadn't thought about that. "Ok let's go out and see what we can find."
We grab our jackets and head out of the door.
The next morning, I am on my computer finishing up a paper I need to write and Ross is in the shower. We didn't have any luck last night with finding women to date. We had enough humiliation to last for the week. I read over my paper. It seems like its good enough for now. When there is a knock on the door, I get up to answer it. I'm sure it's just someone looking for the guys down the hall. We always get people who got lost. But when I open the door, its two girls. They don't look like they're in college.
"Can I help you?" He just knew these two ladies must be looking for someone else.
The one with the black hair shakes my hand. Wow she's beautiful and probably seeing someone. Even if she wasn't, why on earth would she ever go out with me. "I'm Ross' sister Monica." She points to the brunette that is standing beside her. "This is my best friend Rachel."
I move to the side to let them in and Ross comes out of the bathroom. He hugs both of the girls. Monica- I really like that name. Monica rest on his bed and Rachel can't stop talking about all the things that she wants to try right away.
"Do you want to come Mon?" Ross asked with his friend on the handle of the door.
She shook her head. I could tell she really didn't want to be a third wheel. It was clear Ross and Rachel had a thing for one another but neither one of them was saying anything.
"I'll stay with her. I have no plans." I offered. She's beautiful, why wouldn't I offer to get to know her?
Ross gives me a pat on the back. "Thanks man I owe you." He looks pretty excited at the fact that he gets some alone time with Rachel.
Soon, Ross and Rachel are both gone. Now it's just me and Monica. I sit on my bed. I don't mean to state at her, I really don't but she just looks amazing. She's wearing a black mini skirt, black boots and a long sleeve white shirt. Her hair is pulled back into a pony tail and she has hoop earrings in her ears. Her left ear even has a little stud earring right above where the first earring is. I think she knows I have been looking at her because she looks over at me.
She sits up on the bed.
I smile at her. "So Monica, are you in college?"
She shakes her head and puts her phone down. "I am a senior in high school. I just turned 18 a couple days ago."
"Well happy birthday." I look around the room. "Sorry I don't have anything for you. Your brother failed to mention that. "I stand up. "But I can take you down the street. There is this place that has amazing soft serve ice cream."
She smiles at me. "Are you asking me out?"
Suddenly my hands feel clammy. I am not good at asking girls out. Not in the least bit. "Uh well I-"I am trying to find words to talk but when I try, gibberish comes out. Oh this is bad. She probably thinks I am a complete idiot right now. Well if she already didn't think so.
She stands up and is now facing me. "I'll go with you for ice cream. But you should know, I have a boyfriend."
My heart drops to the floor. This can't be happening. Of course it is though, why would someone that attractive ever go out with me? "Oh I am so sorry. Ross didn't tell me that you're seeing someone."
She puts her hand on my arm. "It's ok. There is no reason to apologize." She grabs her purse. "He was going to come but he had to work. He has a weekend job."
I just nod. You know, maybe this is for the best. Ross might not like the fact if I date his sister anyway. We could be friends, you can never have too many friends. So I open the door of our dorm and let her walk out first so we can go get ice cream. As friends.
So what do you guys think? I hope you liked it. Please review and give me your thoughts. Also, remember that I am open to suggestions on how you want this story to go.
Also, this is my first time writing a story in a characters point of view.
