Chapter 3
Midnight Snacks Kick ass….
It had been almost 3 weeks since orientation Courtney was pretty settled in. She had learned her most important lesson like everyone trust no one. She had learned that even her roommate wasn't all that trustworthy when the whole dorm knew that she was at Newlan by scholarship and the only person she had told was Carly. Though Carly had only been bragging on the fact that Courtney was probably the smartest person here the fact that her parents couldn't afford to send made her feel well…lesser than the others.
It was Period 4 and there was only one left. Courtney was in AP English lit. Her teachers name was Mr. McCarthy she in between Emily Quatermaine and Elizabeth Webber both of whom were the greatest of friend. Courtney felt uncomfortable in her sit the two friends would talk across her as if there had been an empty desk there. Most of their conversations were pointless consisting of who wore what and what was "So last season" As if there life's were that boring that they had to worry about what other people wore how pathetic she thought.
Class had ended which didn't surprise Courtney she was getting used to the fact that English lit always flew by her last class of the day was gym which she hated it was pointless she wasn't over weight and she went for a jog every morning gym was of no use to her. And then the idea hit her she would just blow the class off all together. It's not like anyone would notice much less care. Her gym teacher would be too busy looking up the girls asses as they pranced around in their itty bitty shorts to even notice she was missing. So that was it she would skip gym class.
Courtney cut across the field running like some big bad monster was chasing her. The monster being the fear of getting caught. She was half way there when she turned her head around to see if anybody had seen her. The next thing she knew she was on the ground glasses gone books gone pride…gone. How embarrassing she thought when she got up she saw this gorgeous guy standing before her.
"Sorry about that" he said "No don't be" she corrected him "I should have been paying attention…I was in a hurry" she said "I could see that" he said not in a smart well duh way but in a curious kind of way. "What was the hurry" he questioned "Well I left my…my calc homework at home and i wanted to get it" she lied. Why she lied she didn't really know. She didn't know this boy he probably couldn't care less if she skipped Gym class or not. "Your calc homework huh?" not a question more of a statement she nodded and he said "Well good luck with that" and walked off
Later that night Courtney had the worst craving for some chocolate ice cream and she knew she would have to break the rules once again and sneak out she just couldn't fight this craving and she knew the kitchen had some so she snuck out sure not to wake carly as carly had proven to be untrustworthy. Once she was out of the room she snuck down the hall and to the kitchen she finally made it to the freezer and was disappointed to find that the chocolate ice cream was gone "Hey" a voice called and she jumped "Jesus Christ you scared the shit out of me" she complained
"Sorry you know we gotta stop meeting like this I'm beginning to think your following me" he said jokingly "Don't flatter yourself….I just came down here for some ice cream what are you doing out this late anyway" she questioned and then she saw as he pulled the container of ice cream from behind his back. "Here we can share" he said as he handed her the small container with the spoon already inside. Any other time the idea of sharing a spoon with anybody let alone someone she barely even knew would gross her out but for some reason it didn't she reached out and took the ice cream from his hand.
Time had passed and they were enjoying themselves talking about there lives and how they ended up at Newlan "Well I being the genius that I am" she said as he giggled "I of course got a scholarship here" she wasn't embarrassed about her scholarship around him as she had been in the dorm he gave off the vibe that those things didn't matter. "And yourself" she questioned
"The usual story rich parent who wants there son to have the best education possible " he said "So your rich" she said stating the obvious "Yeah got a problem with it" he playfully said " No it's just that you don't seem like they rich kid from New York type" she aid "And how would that be" he asked "Well you know the I'm better then you because my daddy can sue your daddy type" she said as he laughed Courtney had began to dig the spoon in for another dip of ice cream when she realized it was all gone that signaled her to look at her watch "Oh my god" she yelled as her hand flew to her mouth "Its 2 o'clock in the morning" she said
"Okay we have time to get back come on I'll walk you to your dorm" he said trying to ease her fears "No, no that's not necessary I'll be fine plus one person will make a lot less noise then two. So I guess this is where we part ways goodbye….."she paused as she realized she had never gotten his name "Jason" he answered "Jason Morgan" he finished "Well goodbye Jason Morgan" she had started her way back up the hall when she turned around and said "Hey Jason in case you were wondering "I'm Courtney" she smiled as did he and she turned around and made the rest of the trip back to the dorm pratcally skipping
