I woke up and headed straight toward the bathroom. I have to stop drinking water before I go to bed. When i looked in the mirror, I almost gave myself a heart attack. How do I get such bad bedhead? I was trying to fix it when Priestly came walking in to pee.
" You know, there's this trend people do now, it's called knocking when you know someone's in here," I said sarcastically.
He stared at me for a long minute. " Nope. Never heard of it" , and went back to peeing.
I met Priestly a while back when i decied to get my first tattoo. we've been friends and roomates ever since. You would never think of me and him hanging out together. We are truly polar opposites. But that is what makes what we have unique.
Once I was out of the shower, I went to dry my hair. I wiped my hand over the steam covered mirrior and that's when I saw it. My hair is fucking blue! I'm going to kill him. I threw on my bath robe and ran towards his room. Before I even got there, he was already heading towards the living room. This went on for a good twenty minutes when he finally stopped running.
I jumped on him and he fell straight to the floor. he was dying of laughter while I was trying to get my point acros.
"I'm going to kill you! How long will I look like a dman smurf for!", I said while wrestling him. Not to all people. It's hard doing that when also laughing.
" You don't like it. I like it this way. You make a very cute smurf", He said while ttrying to get control of my hands.
He got the better of me and rolled on top of me. and we stopped fighting. His face moved closer to my face when we both heard the front door open.
" Hey, Priestly where the hell are ya?", i heard Tish yell out.
He got up off of me and went to the other room where Tish was.
Did that seriously just happen? Was Priestly going to kiss me? Ne he wouldn't he's with Tish. He would never hurt her like that. Plus why would he go there with me of all people?
I went to my room to get dressed and decided to say hi to Tish. Even if I almost kissed her man just now, but the nice thing to do is say hi to her. yea really smooth Jaliss.
I realized I should've just stayed in my room. Both of them were making out on the couch. I turned the other way and left since I was going to be late for my college class. I just hope if they do fool around, it won't be my bed this time.
In all shock, ,my class went quicker than usual. I was starving and went to the sandwich shop in Santa Cruz.
" Hey, Guys", I said greeting everyone with a smile.
"Hey jaliss;", Jen said returning the favor.
Priestly didn't even look my way.
" Hey Trucker, have you seen Tish?, She's never late", Priestly asked, obviously concerned.
As soon as that question was asked, Tish walked in like someone shot her puppy.
" Tish, whats wrong?", Jen asked as she looked up from her computer.
She didn't answer Jen and directed her attention right at Priestly.
" hey, can we talk alone?",
Priestly automatically said yea.
Jen and I just looked at each other.
" Trucker, You know what's going on?", jen whispered.
He looked down at his paper. " I do, but I can't really talk about it now."
Priestly came back in clearly showing he was upset.
"Truck, you mind if I take off early?"
He answered without any hesitation. " Of course."
Once he and Tish left, Jen and me looked at Trucker dying for more information.
"Alright, spill".
He finally cracked.
"Well, Tish quit."
" Wait, what!", Jen and I answered in unison.
Trucker continued. " Yeah, she has been seeing someone else".
" You're kidding right," hoping this whole thing is a joke.
Trucker looked at me with full seriousness.
" She says this guy is really great.
I started to get defensive. "And Priestly isn't?"
How could this happen? when he finally lets his guard down and decides he's ready for a relationship, this happens.
When I got home, I heard Priestly in his room. I was about to knock on his door, but I figured he just wants to be alone right now.
Since this blue hair color won't come out now, I made the decision to scrub the hell out of my head until it at least fades. Which it did.
I heard scuffling of feet outside the bathroom, so I took a chance. Priestly was sitting on the couch with a beer when I made to bold move to talk to him.
I wrapped my dripping wet hair into the towel and took a seat next to him.
" You wanna order some pizza and we can go to the pier and ride the roller coaster until my head is spinning?", I asked, hoping for a smile.
"Not so much."
"Tish broke up with me."
I pretended I didn't know anything about this. " aw Priest, I'm sorry. I know you really loved her."
"Do you think it's because I decided to go back to my mohawk and my freak of an old self?", he spit out like venom.
"No it's not. Sometimes people don't realize they have someone trlu great in front of them. Ya never know, she could come running back when she realizes what a big mistake she's made. You're a great guy Priestly. Don't think you did anything wrong ok."
The apartment phone rang and I went to answer it. Jason. My crush ever since I started college. He's basically in each one of my classes.
" Hey Jalissa, its' Jason."
I smiled widely. " Hey, what's up"?
I heard him take a deep breath on the other line. " Well, I know I should've done this in person, but I was wondering if you wanna go out tonight?"
Yes Yes Yes!
"Hello?'
I snapped out of it. "Jason, can you hold on a second?"
I want to say yes, but i don't wanna leave Priestly all depressed. Breakups suck. And this whole almost kiss thing has really changed how I viewed Priestly.
" Who's on the phone?", priestly asked when i came back into the living room.
" Jason. the guy I've told you about. He wants to go out tonight, and I want to make sure you're ok."
"You should go. you haven't been on a date in ages, and I'm starting to get concerned.", he said with a smile.
I playfully hit him in the arm and went back to the phone.
"Jason, I'd love to go out with you. how bout round seven?"
"Sounds good. See you then."
We both hung up and I started getting ready. Priestly came into my room leaning on my dresser.
"Wow, it's wierd seeing you all dressed up. I'm not used to it."
"ha, yes well like you said I haven't been on a date in ages."
He fake laughed. " I want all the details in the morning. "
I smiled. " sounds like a deal.".
He got up from leaning on my dresser and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"What was that for?"
'You're a good friend."
That right there, I knew we would only be just friends.
