Cath, Levi, Wren, and Bethany all went up to Cath's dorm. They had to keep in a straight line to one side of the hall because of all the people who were going to dinner on the other side of the hallway. Once they got there, Cath turned to Bethany.
"Just a warning, it's not as nerdy and awesome as you'd think. It's mainly Reagan whose fault that is...anyway here we go," said Cath opening the door. They all walked in and Bethany smiled.
"This is awesome…almost. All that's missing are cardboard cutouts of Simon and Baz," said Bethany. Cath thought about this for a minute. She hadn't thought about cardboard cutouts in her room before. That wasn't a bad idea actually.
"I've been thinking about this one new fanfiction idea and I don't know if people will like it or not," said Cath looking at Bethany.
"Of course they will. You're the one writing it," said Bethany gleefully.
"Want to hear about it?" asked Cath.
"Of course I do!"
"Ok. So Simon and Baz are going on vacation in the summer between two of their school years. I don't really know where they're going to go but it will be really cool…I hope."
"That's an amazing idea. I love it."
"You don't think it's too predictable?"
"It kind of is but we don't know what happens during the summers so it'd be perfect." Cath smiled. She never thought she'd ever have one of the Carry On's fans perspective on her ideas. This was all so new for her.
"So where's your dorm?"
"Oh it's on the third floor."
"Oh cool! You're only two floors down. You should come say hi sometimes…and come help me with decisions in my fanfictions."
"I thought that was my job," said Wren looking at Cath.
"Still is…but remember when you were not talking to me last year and decided to get drunk all the time? Oh Bethany, don't follow in her footsteps."
"Got it," said Bethany.
"Right…anyway why don't we both do the job?"
"I'm ok with that," said Bethany.
"Good, now can we go do something that involves not being in an overcrowded room?" asked Levi.
"Yes sweetie. Did you eat Bethany?" asked Cath.
"No, I walked into the cafeteria and saw you wearing a Simon Snow shirt and forgot what I was doing in the cafeteria." Cath laughed at that.
"Ok, let's go get some food. I want tacos. Anyone else want tacos?" asked Cath. Bethany nodded, and Wren and Levi shrugged. They headed off to the nearest Mexican restaurant.
Cath was in taco heaven. She didn't like these tacos as much as the ones she can get at home, but they're still good. It wasn't very crowded in the restaurant which was what Cath loved about that place. She didn't like loud restaurants at all. She looked over at Bethany. She was so happy to meet someone like her at this school.
"Do you write fanfiction, Bethany?" asked Cath.
"Yeah, sometimes with my older brother. He lives back in Omaha."
"Really? Wait…does he work at the bookstore?"
"Yeah. He said he met a Simon Snow fangirl a few days ago. Must have been you."
"And bought a book? Yeah that'd be me. Levi thought I was flirting with him."
"Did not!" said Levi.
"Yes you did. You said you didn't like him at all."
"No I didn't."
"It's ok. He has a boyfriend."
"Ha Levi, maybe you should've been flirting with him."
"No. Let's not do that."
"They've been together for a while so I don't think he'd enjoy someone flirting with him."
"See Levi, you have nothing to worry about. He's gay. It's ok. I wouldn't cheat on you anyway. What would be the point?"
"Ok then."
"Anyway, I'm surprised we both lived in Omaha but never knew each other."
"Oh I just moved there last year. My brother has lived there for a year then he said he loved it there so we moved. It's kind of a strange reason to move but it was worth it."
"That's cool." For the rest of the night, they were talking about Simon, Omaha places they loved to death, and other books they absolutely loved. Cath liked this girl. They were like the same person but different ages and looked different.
