AN: I am so incredibly sorry. I know how annoying it is to find a story that never gets updated but it's hard. But I wont bore you with all my excuses cause no one reads these anyway. So here it is-
Chapter 3
"Ugh!" I wanted to throw my alarm clock across the room but I didn't. I got up like a good nerd, grabbed my bag, and headed for the library. Charlotte didn't even stir when I closed the door to our room, I think she drank more than she's used to the night before.
I had pulled her and Jane out of the party not long after overhearing Charlie and Will's conversation in the hall. They were both completely surprised (though Charlotte was definitely louder about it). Jane had a good time and had even given Charlie her phone number. I was excited for her, he seemed really nice.
I finally reached the library ten minutes early for the study group. This guy in my Spanish class invited me to it because I wasn't too efficient in Spanish but I needed it to graduate. I sat at a table and started reading over my notes.
"Are you here for Spanish as well?" I heard a voice say from over my shoulder, I turned around quickly only to see Will Darcy, standing there looking extremely cute.
" How'd you know?"
He pointed to my Spanish dictionary and smiled.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry I just woke up, you'll have to forgive me." He just stood there. "Oh! Please sit down. Will, wasn't it?" I moved my stuff out of the chair to my right. I knew I should have been furious with him about last night, but I really wasn't. I didn't approve of his shallowness and his pretentious attitude upset me, but I decided to be the better person and start over, sort of.
"Did you enjoy the party last night?" he asked
"Oh, it was okay. I like parties but I promised myself I wouldn't get into that college party scene. Did you?"
"I'm not much of a partier either. I really don't like being around so many people."
"Well aren't you studying for business? Shouldn't you learn to deal with a lot of people?" He looked shocked that someone had questioned him, I guess it doesn't happen too often.
"How did you know I was studying business?"
"My roommate is studying investigative journalism, she knows everything and tells me everything. More than I want to hear, actually."
"Oh, well. I'm not very good with dealing with people I don't know, I've never been."
"Aren't you sort of doing that right now? You should learn to talk to people. Business men can't afford to be shy."
He chuckled to himself, "Well, you certainly don't go down without a fight. You'll be a good attorney."
I smiled, "Thanks, and I'm sure you can get over the shy factor. I've known people who've done it."
Then, Collin walked up. He was the guy who had invited me to the study group, he was short, barely my height with blond hair and no body fat. He was nice, but I couldn't be around him for very long without wanting to hurt myself. Collin talked all the time but hardly ever made sense.
"Hey Liz!" he smiled at me but kind of scowled at Will. "I see you've met Will Darcy. He's offered to help our group with Spanish."
I looked at Will curiously, "Help us?" He looked embarassed.
" I've been taking Spanish lessons since I was 10. I'm pretty fluent." He shrugged.
The rest of the group started to show up then, I didn't know many people but I recognized a one guy from my class. He came and sat next to me, pulling up a chair next to Collin, who was attempting to tell me about something he was studying in philosophy. The guy put his book on the table and turned to me with his hand out.
"Hi, I'm Scott." I shook his hand.
"Liz. Nice to meet you. Do you know Collin?" I gestured towards him. Scott shook his head and shook Collin's hand.
"Will, do you know Scott?" I said, turning around to face Will. He had a mean look on his face. He looked Scott in the eye and said,
"We've met." He got up to ask someone on the other side of the table if they needed help.
"Oh, well. That was weird." Scott acted like he didn't hear me so I decided not to press the issue.
The study group actually helped me alot, I fixed all of the dumb mistakes I'd been making. When people started to leave, Scott and I were still talking about where we grew up. And Collin was listening and putting in comments randomly. When we reached the corner Scott said,
"Well, it was cool meeting you but I live this way. See you guys in Spanish." He walked off, with a smirk in my direction, leaving me with Collin. Ugh.
"So, Liz. Do you wanna go get a coffee or something?"
"Oh, um." I tried to think of a quick excuse."I actually was heading back to meet my sister, sorry."
"Oh, okay. Maybe some other time then. See you." And he walked the other direction.
I felt kind of bad for turning him down but I didn't want to lead him on. That's even worse.
On the walk to my dorm, I couldn't help but wonder why Will was so cold towards Scott. He seemed like a nice guy, Will seemed unreasonable. He just kept finding ways to keep me from liking him. I decided to ask Scott about it the next chance I got.
