It was finally time for Cath to go back to college. She got to hang out with Reagan, see Levi more often, and be closer to Wren than she was last year. She's going to miss her dad like crazy. She was excited about being able to be on the same floor of Wren and Reagan's roommate again.
"Now girls I hope that you'll be nice and go visit your mother once in a while," said Art.
"Eh…we might," said Wren.
"Come on girls, it's just your mother."
"She left us. We don't want anything to do with her anymore."
"Can we stop fighting?" asked Cath. The rest of the drive, there was complete silence. Then Cath's phone started ringing. "Hello?"
"Hey bitch. Where are you?"
"We're almost there. Did your mom get the bean bag chairs?"
"Of course she did. Would you seriously doubt it?"
"Nope. Hey…um…is Levi with you…?"
"Hey sweetie."
"Hey Levi. We're almost there so get ready."
"Ok, I'll be right there."
"What hall are you in again?"
"Pound, dad." They got to Pound Hall when Cath saw Levi running past a giant group of people, while smiling, and ran to Cath's door.
"Hello beautiful," said Levi, kissing Cath on the cheek.
"Here Levi, grab this box for me, will you?" asked Cath's father. Levi ran over to him, grabbing the box for him, and went to the stairs.
"Follow me, everyone," said Levi, walking through more people and to the elevators. They had to split up into two groups: Cath and Levi, then Wren and Art.
"So how's work?" asked Cath.
"It's still amazing. Have you finished the book we bought earlier?" asked Levi.
"No, I told you. I'm waiting until we can read it together."
"Aw, that's sweet." Levi was smiling even more now.
"So what room number?"
"It's that one right over there." Levi pointed down the hall to room 490.
"Is Reagan already here?"
"Yeah, and she already started claiming things. Speaking of which, her mom got you three bean bag chairs. She got me one too but in black, not in pink." Cath looked at him as if he thought she didn't know that. She walked into her and Reagan's room, surprised that both bean bag chairs actually fit into their room.
"It seems like this room is bigger than last year's room," said Cath.
"I don't think so," said Reagan from the doorway.
"Glad to see you aren't tattooed all over…yet," said Cath smiling at Reagan.
"Actually I do have one on my ankle," said Reagan pointing to the tattoo on her ankle. It was of a rose.
"Of course you do. So I'm guessing this is my half?"
"Yeah," said Reagan with a hint of question in her voice.
"Hey I have to go get unpacked more," said Levi, kissing Cath on the cheek, "I'll see you later."
"So how was your summer?" asked Cath unpacking a box.
"Don't even ask. I want to know about how your first summer after college was."
"It seemed like any other normal summer…except longer."
"Ok then…mine was fantastic. I went to Rome for a month. I had no idea what anyone was saying but the food…THE FOOD!"
"I'm guessing you liked the food?"
"I loved it. And now I want more." Cath laughed and put her Simon heads on her desk.
"You brought them again?" asked Wren looking in the doorway.
"Seriously Cath, they're scary," said Reagan.
"Shush I don't care. Now Wren, where should I put these posters?"
"Above your desk, now I'm leaving to go unpack my stuff. I'll meet you for dinner later."
"See you."
Cath, Reagan, Levi, and Wren were all in the cafeteria eating dinner. As they did last year, Reagan and Cath are making fun of the people in the cafeteria.
"Is she really wearing those shoes with that top?" asked Reagan almost choking on her fettuccini. Cath started laughing and Wren looked at her then rolled eyes. Levi just sat there smiling as usual. This was what Cath missed. She had had a fun summer, but she missed the good times with Reagan and Levi. Cath decided to think quietly to herself about her new fanfiction idea. She was thinking about having Simon and Baz going on a trip to somewhere between school years. That's all she could come up with actually. She then realized that Wren, Levi and Reagan were all looking at her.
"What?" asked Cath confused.
"Didn't you just see the Simon shirt wearing girl in front of you?" asked Reagan.
"Wait…oh hi! What's your name?"
"Bethany. What's your name?"
"Cath. I love that shirt."
"Thanks. Have you ever read Carry On, Simon? It's so amazing!"
"Aw thanks."
"For what?"
"I wrote it."
"Oh…um…ok…I'm trying not to freak out right now…"
"Let it out…just don't scream."
"OH MY GOD YOU'RE MAGICATH! I'VE DREAMED OF MEETING YOU!"
There we go. Now want to like…hang out?"
"Oh my God yes!"
"One second," said Reagan turning towards Cath.
"What?"
"She's a nerd. I mean, you are too, but two nerds? No thanks."
"Fine I'll go with her by myself," Cath turned to Bethany, "Come on Bethany, let's go somewhere."
"Yeah sure…where?"
"Well…do you think you're going to the freshman barbeque?"
"I don't think so. I don't really know anyone here and I'm not really into going to barbeques."
"Want to come up to my dorm? I could show you where some of my fanfiction is written. And I have some Simon things you might like."
"Ok that sounds really…awesome…um…yeah ok. Let's go." Cath stood and walked out of the cafeteria, looking back at Reagan on her way out. How could Reagan be such a bitch? Cath was going to be so mad at her for a really long time. Levi and Wren came up behind Cath, and then Cath smiled. Reagan probably feels like such a terrible person right now. Cath honestly loved it. They reached her room, and Bethany was very, very happy.
