I've only loved two boys in my life- both with the last name Oliver. Beck was my first, and I loved him in a way you can only love your first time around. It's the kind of love that makes you feel like a little kid and like nothing else in the world matters when you're with that person. The kind of love that you'll only experience once in your life.
And then there was Josh. He knew me back then when I was a little girl, and he knows me now. He's the guy that was there with me every step of the way and he loves me.
My two great loves. I think I always new I'd be Tori Oliver one day, but what I didn't know was that it'd happen like this.
It's finals week and when you're trying to study for five hours straight at night, there are thnowree things you need. An extra large Caribbean Passion from Jamba Juice. Pajama pants. And lots of dance breaks. It was two in the morning, and I was studying for my semester final of my senior year at USC. I was lying on the floor of my dorm room with my best friend and room mate, Serena Johnson, who passed out half an hour ago, her head lying on her open English book. I on the hand, was half awake, my hand resting on my cheek, holding up my head. I flipped a page and read two sentences before giving a yawn. I stood up and stretched, taking a peek at the clock. 2:38. I decided it was time for bed. I grabbed Serena's pillow and comforter from her bed. I replaced her book with the pillow and placed the comforter over her before turning off the light and tucking myself into bed.
A couple of hours later, the sun was rising and light slowly filled into our room. I got up and saw Serena still on the floor asleep, her blonde waves covering her face. I grabbed one of the pillows from my bed and threw it at her head. "Wake up," I sang as I slid my feet off the bed.
Serena sat up, glaring at me. "Why are you so happy?'
"Because," I said," in just a few hours, it'll all be over." Today was the last day of finals. I had two exams left, but they aren't for a couple more hours which gave me some more time to study. Not wanting to waste any time, I decided not to go to the dining hall for breakfast, so I just grabbed a Mountain Dew from our mini refrigerator in our room.
The test was as hard as we expected, but I think I got an A on it and Serena thinks she did okay. We were done. Finals are over. We walked out of the classroom, smiled at each other, and went our separate ways. She went to celebrate while I headed back to my dorm room, tired, and ready to pass out.
When I opened the door, I saw Josh, asleep in my bed. He was stretched out on top of my comforter, his head on the side of my bed sleeping sideways, and one of his hand was hanging over the edge. I took off my shoes before crawling into the bed bext to him. He stirred and opened his eyes. "Hi."
"Hi," I said.
"How'd it go?"
"Pretty good, but I'm glad it's all over now."
"Good." Josh finished his last final at nine this morning. He held me at my waist and leaned his head onto my shoulder. "I brought you half of my pasta from lunch. I can't have you skipping meals."
"It was just breakfast," I said pausing for a second before adding, "And lunch."
He let out a small laugh. "Do you want it now?"
I was hungry, but I was more sleepy. "Maybe later. Right now I want to sleep," I said, closing my eyes and leaning closer to him.
We both fell asleep and when I woke up, it was already dark out. Josh was still asleep, his arms still wrapped tight around me.
We started dating two months after school started of my sophomore year. It had happened so fast. We were friends since we were little. The next minute you know, we were kissing, and before you know it, we were dating. Now, were were lying together in my dorm room. We're both seniors. In less than five months, we're graduating. It's crazy how far we've came, how much I've grown up. I wouldn't trade my life for anything in the world.
A/N: And there you guys have it. A new story. But this is just a little snippet of it. Tell me what you think of it and I'll have another chapter up very soon. I'm hoping by either tomorrow or the next day. Finals are finally over for me so I have time to write a little. Hope you guys like this! xx
