Chapter Three – Close and Distant
Amy sighed tiredly as she pushed open the door to her dorm, letting out the breath she hadn't known she'd been holding, in relief that the room was empty. After three hours of talking with Soraya about nearly everything under the sun and walking around exploring the campus, all she wanted to do was lay on her bed and sleep for the rest of the afternoon.
'God! I'm so glad that Ty isn't here at the moment, I'd be happy if he never came back! But I guess that's too much to ask for…seeing as his posters are still on the wall.'
With those thoughts running through her head, Amy fell onto the closest bed and into a deep dreamless sleep.
That was how Ty found her when he came into the room two hours later from soccer practice. He looked around the dorm and saw her lying curled up on top of the covers of his bed. A smile softened his handsome features and he thought of how prefect she looked asleep on his bed.
'Whoa, stop that!' He reprimanded himself. 'She's a bitch and you don't even like her, so, what's with the sudden change of heart?' With these thoughts going through his head he quickly changed out of his soccer gear and into clean clothes for dinner.
"Hey. You'd better get up soon," He said to wake the sleeping Amy. "Dinner starts in ten."
When he got no response from his words, Ty walked over to his bed and stood, glaring down at his roommate. "Oii, you've gotta get up now." He said, reaching out to give her a shake to rouse her. As soon as he touched her skin, Ty noticed that Amy was covered in a light sweat. When he grabbed her arm she cried out, flinching away from his touch. When he looked at her more closely he saw that she had tears streaming down her cheeks.
Ty began to panic.
"C'mon, Amy," He said loudly but not harshly. "It's just a dream. All you've gotta do is wake up." He didn't dare touch her again for fear of causing her more distress.
Just as he was preparing to try to wake her again, Amy bolted upright in bed, scaring the crap out of him.
"Shit, Amy! You-" He began in a hard voice, but abruptly broke off when he saw her flinch away from his raised voice, huddled into a little ball sobbing quietly.
"Hey, Amy, shh… I didn't mean it. It's alright, you were just having a bad dream." He soothed, trying to lessen the girls fear.
Amys head shot up, glaring daggers at the surprised Ty. "Of course it was just a bad dream," Snapped, angry and embarrassed that he had seen her at her weakest. She briskly wiped the tears from her cheeks.
"Now do you mind leaving the room so that I can change for dinner?" She said rudely, watching as his expression changed from concern, to surprise to irritation. Concern was one of the worst emotions she could have seen in his eyes. It made him seem almost human. Almost as if he cared. Concern she couldn't deal with if she planned on keeping her promise to herself, the promise not to fall of Tyson Baldwin. Irritation was better, that she could deal with and easily match.
"Fine, whatever," He mumbled, turning around. "Just next time you decide to fall asleep, use your own bed." And with that he walked away, closing the door firmly behind him.
When Amy went down to the main hall that Soraya had shown her hours earlier, she saw hundreds of teens walking around, getting dinner, sitting and eating and chatting to friends.
She looked around, wondering where she was to go from there. Just as Amy was about to walk back to her dorm and skip dinner, she heard her name being called.
"Amy!"
She quickly spun around, looking for the person who had called out to her.
"Hey! Amy!" The voice yelled again. When Amy was scanning the crowds, she saw Soraya standing on her chair, waving like a madwoman to get her attention.
Amy laughed aloud, making her way over to where Soraya sat eating dinner with her friends.
"Why don't you come and sit with us?" Her friend invited her. Amy just nodded shyly to say that she would, glancing around at the group that was staring at her curiously. "Oh, right," Soraya said, remembering her other friends. "Guys, this is Amy." The group greeted her warmly as Soraya introduced Amy to the teens in her group. There were two other girls besides Soraya and four guys. The girls were Leah and Alexandria, whose friends called Alex. Leah had light brown eyes, surrounded with lots of black eye make-up, dead straight, dirty blonde hair that was worn to just beneath her jawbone. She wore black skinny-leg jeans with a tight black t-shirt that had the words 'Why live today, if you'll just die tomorrow' printed in blood red across her breasts. Then was Alex. Alex was the complete opposite of Leah. She had platinum blonde hair that below her waist, dark blue, warm eyes that were fringed in thick lashes. She was wearing a small, tight, light pink dress that fitted her thin body like a second skin.
Once Amy had taken in the girls of the group, Soraya moved onto the guys. They were Matt, Ben, Scott and Ryan. One thing that Amy could say for Soraya's group… they were all hot! (And no I am NOT a lesbian, but the girls are good looking!)
And all the guys were tall. Matt was about Ty's hight, had light brown shaggy hair (A/N sorry of I get this wrong, dnt hav any info on Matt.) that fell onto this forehead and light blue eyes. He was wearing a pair of thigh-hugging jeans and a red t-shirt. Amy's gaze moved around the group and settled on the guy sitting next to Matt. Ben had blonde hair that was worn slightly long and spiky. He had piercing hazel eyes that looked as if they could see into your very soul and find your every secret. He was dressed much the same as Leah was in black skinny legs and a black shirt that said 'All you need is a rose and its thorns to make you happy'. Along the table, opposite from Ben, was Scott. He had light brown hair, waxed to sit in a rumpled way, falling carelessly into his eyes. He had eyes that looked like they changed from blue to green, halfway through the iris. Amy felt that she could staring into those eyes for hours and never need to look away. He was wearing loose fitting jeans and a polo shirt, talking softly to the guy sitting next to him, Ryan. Ryan had midnight black hair grey eyes that looked almost silver. He wore black skinny legs (hmm, they all are wearing jeans…well except for Alex…) but with a plain white, loose fitting t-shirt.
Yep. They were definitely a yummy looking group.
"So…" Soraya broke into Amy's thoughts. "Are you ready to go get some dinner?"
"Hell yeah!" Amy exclaimed. "I'm starving!" Her announcement was clearly seconded by her loudly rumbling stomach. Soraya giggled.
"Well, we can't have that drowning out our conversations, can we?" she asked rhetorically, smirking. "It sounded like an earthquake!"
"Hey!" Amy laughed. Playfully punching Soraya lightly on the arm. "Be nice! I haven't eaten since I got here!"
"Hehe … okay." Soraya said, beaming at Amy. She led them over to where the food was being served.
"So, how is your new room mate going now?" Dylan inquired as soon as Ty had sat down at the table.
Ty groaned. "Don't even ask."
"That bad, huh?" All Ty could do was nod, folding his arms on the table and laying his head on them.
"What new roommate?" the question was asked snobbishly by the girl who had just sat next to Ty.
"The roommate that I am dorming with, Ashley." Ty replied, annoyed enough today and not in the mood to hear her bitching about anyone and everyone. Ashley was beautiful and tall. She had long, rich blonde hair, deep blue eyes and a body that most females would kill for. But she has a personality that could shatter the mirror that her looks repaired and an attitude that could bring it crashing right down again. In simple words, she was the biggest bitch that Ty had ever met, and he had met a lot.
Ashley was getting irritated by his attitude towards her (a.k.a ignoring her) and for him not elaborating on his short sentence.
"So…Who is he?" she asked impatiently.
Ty sighed. "It is none of your business who my roommate is, Ashley." He said firmly, hoping that that would end the conversation.
But he knew better.
"Yes it is my business, Tyson Baldwin. You are my boyfriend and it is my business who you are and are not dorming with. I want to know who I will have to kick out of the room so that we can have our…quality time."
Ty sighed again. "Look, Ashley, I know that we are going out and all, but it is none of your concern who I hang out with, dorm with, eat with and fucking talk with!" His voice was getting quieter and colder as he ticked them off on his fingers. "Now, would you please leave me alone so that I can talk with some friends." Before she could respond he had turned his back to her to face the astounded Dylan.
"Wow," Was all that Dylan could say as he watched the retreating back of one Ashley Grant. "Trouble in paradise?"
Ty shrugged. "There never was a paradise. She seems to think that I am some kind of possession…and I am no-ones possession."
All of his friends nodded their agreement, knowing Ty was his own man and belonged to no one.
"So, you gonna dump her?" asked a curious Jake who was sitting opposite Ty.
Ty looked thoughtful for a moment. "Dunno. If she keeps this up, probably," He told them, standing up. "I'm gonna go get my food now, anyone coming with me?" Several heads nodded and they stood up and followed Ty, joining the line to receive their dinner.
"So, what is there to eat for dinner again?" Amy asked Soraya as they joined the end of the line.
Tonight we have spaghetti bolognaise or pizza, with garlic bread and salad and for dessert there's strawberry cheesecake or chocolate mousse." soraya told amy for the third time.
"Mmm…I love spagh-" She stopped mid-sentence, looking somewhere over Soraya's shoulder. Her expression suddenly turned stony. "Great. Look who's coming now." She muttered quietly, almost as if she were talking to herself.
Soraya glanced over her shoulder and saw Ty Baldwin and a few of his friends making their way over to join the line for their dinner. She saw Ty's face take on an expression similar to Amy's as he noticed who they would be standing behind. She looked between Amy and Ty, wondering what was going on between them.
