I know I told you all last time it might take me awhile to get back on here. Well, my brother's married, school's out, and I have nothing to do except play on my new laptop. In short, expect a lot more updates. I have some good ideas for this story, btw

QUATRE
Will groaned as he heard someone knocking at the door. It was Saturday morning for Pete's sake, he deserved some rest.
"Jack?" He said gruffly, hoping his friend would answer the door. "Door!"
To Will's luck, and amazement, Jack got out of bed and sauntered over to the door, leaning against the wall as he opened the door.
"Well hello there lovely lady. How can I help you?" Jack said wiggling his eyebrows causing Will to roll his eyes.
"Um, well I was wondering if I could talk to Will?" Will immediately shot up as he recognized the voice at the door.
"Hey 'Lizabeth. What are you doing here?" He said trying to clear his voice.
Elizabeth followed Jack into the room and laughed as Will hurried out of bed. "Will, it's almost noon. It really is time for you to get up."
Will looked over at the clock and realized she was right, amazed that he had actually slept in that long. "Yeah, so what's up?"
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go to a movie this afternoon or something. I was thinking maybe we could go see that new Harrison Ford movie."
"Indiana Jones?"
"Yeah! That's the one. So what do ya say?"
"Yeah sounds good to me. What time?"
"How about like three? Oh, and I asked my roommate to go too, so Jack you can come if you'd like."
They heard a grunt come from the figure laying on the couch causing them both to laugh. "I'll ask him again when he wakes up. He's probably really hung over right now."
Elizabeth smiled at her best friend. "Alright, so we'll meet you out in the courtyard at three?"
"Yep, that's the plan."
"Alright, well I'm going to go then. I'll see you soon Will." Elizabeth smiled sweetly at him one last time before leaving the room.
Elizabeth smiled feeling quite content with herself as she walked back into her room. She noticed Ana was already up working diligently at her computer.
"Soo roooomie," Elizabeth said drawing out the word, "How would you like to go to a movie this afternoon?"
"Alright, what's the catch? You're being weird."
"There's no catch! And I am not being weird. I just thought it would be nice to take my roomie to a movie."
Ana looked at her with a suspicious look.
"Okay, so I invited Will and his roommate too. But seriously, how is that a big deal?"
"It's not. Just sounds really double date like to me."
"No way. Just going out with friends. So will you?"
Ana looked back over at her friend before turning to her work at the computer. "Sure, why not? It's not like I have anything better to do."
Elizabeth grinned before heading over to her closet. "Awesome. I'm going to go get ready then."
Ana looked at her clock as Elizabeth pick out some clothes and left heading towards the bathroom down the hall and laughed to herself. She knew it didn't take anyone three hours to get ready to go the movies with friends. But once you consider the extremely gorgeous 'best friend' it all came clear. If Elizabeth wanted to play naive, who was Ana to stop her?
Two and a half hours later Elizabeth walked back into their dorm room.
Ana turned and looked at the girl taking in her appearance. Ana had simply changed into a pair of skinny jeans and a black band t-shirt with a grey vest over top. Elizabeth stood in front of her in a pair of dark jeans, a low gray v-neck tunic top, and black knee high boots. He hair was down and curled to perfection, her eyes clearly defined with a smoky look to them, and her face glowing.
"Whoah."
"What?" Elizabeth asked as she looked for her handbag.
"Are we going clubbing or something after the movie?"
"No, I just thought I would look nice. That's all."
"Elizabeth, you're wearing makeup."
"So, I wear makeup."
"I know that I've only known for about two weeks, but I don't think I've ever seen you wear makeup like that."
"What's wrong with my makeup?" Elizabeth said, checking herself in the mirror that hung on her closet door.
"Nothing, nothing. You look amazing, like always. I just keep thinking that maybe you're trying to impress someone?"
"Who would I be trying to impress? Will's roommate?" Elizabeth laughed. "Me and Will think he looks like a pirate."
"Okay. Well then, you look hot."
"Thank you. Now let's go."
The two girls gathered up their handbags, and headed out the door.
"You know, you're looking pretty hot yourself. I might have to borrow that vest sometime here soon." Elizabeth said as the two girls walked down the hallway.
Ana laughed at her comment. "Thanks, I told you help yourself to anything." The two girls continued their way down the hallway and out to the courtyard.
Elizabeth looked towards the fountain in the middle of the campus, and noticed three figures standing together. She recognized the one in the middle as her best friend, the one to his left his roommate, but her eyes narrowed as she recognized the one on the right as his new 'art buddy.'
"Who's the girl?" Ana asked as they approached the three.
"Will's new friend. She's an art major." Elizabeth responded through gritted teeth.
"Well that's definitely a twist to the story." Ana said holding in a chuckle as they finally made their way to the fountain.
"Hey Elizabeth, you remember Rachel right? I forgot that we had made plans today and I didn't think you'd mind it if she came."
"No. not at all. Lovely to see you again." Elizabeth said with a fake smile.
"Great, why don't we-" Will said directing the group in the direction of the parking lot.
"Will! Such rude manners." Jack said suavely causing Will to roll his eyes. "Who might this lovely lady be?" Jack extended a hand to Ana.
"Anamaria. Ana for short." Ana responded shaking bis hand, pulling it back before he could pull it up to kiss it.
"Right." Will said flatly towards his roommate. "So how about we grab some lunch first?"
"I could definitely eat." Rachel said smiling at Will.
"Yeah, sounds good to me too." Elizabeth cut in. "I've barely eaten all day."
"Well, lunch it is."
The group sat at a round booth at the far comer of a local pizza shop, just finishing up the last bits of the pizza in front of them.
"So how is it that you and Elizabeth know each other Will?" Rachel asked-
Elizabeth rolled her eyes. 'I thought I already covered this. We've been best friends since we were ten. Get with the program honey.' She thought to herself.
"Well, I met Liz when I was ten when my mom and I moved to North Carolina. Been friends ever since I guess."
"Yeah. Inseparable even. Will's been such an amazing friend. Don't know what I'd do without him." Elizabeth said smiling sweetly at Rachel.
Ana looked at her roommate and rolled her eyes. This really was ridiculous.
"So how is everyone classes?'" She said changing the subject before Elizabeth could say something that would embarrass her even more.
"Ana, he hasn't even said anything about how I look. Will always says something about how I look!" Elizabeth said dramatically as she washed her hands. Her and Ana had excused themselves to the rest room while the other three went and found seats in the theatre.
"Okay, listen up." Ana said standing next to her. "He doesn't have to say anything, because the way he's looking at you tonight pretty much says it anyways. Now let's talk about you and how ridiculous you're being. Please tell me this isn't how you regularity act around Will?"
"What's wrong with the way I'm acting?"
Ana cleared her throat before imitating Elizabeth. "Oh Will! Will and me are just the best of friends. Back off Rachel, he's mine. Will, Will, Will. Oh Will you're so dreamy."
Ana smiled at her friend as Elizabeth scoffed. "I didn't say anything like that."
"You don't have to."
"You're crazy."
"No, I'm not. This would all be so much easier if you just told the boy how you freakin' feel already."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Elizabeth said playing innocent.
"Sure you don't. So if you don't mind, I'm going to go tell Will that he and Rachel make an excellent couple." Ana said throwing her towel away and walking out the door.
"Ana, wait!" Elizabeth said rushing after her friend hoping to stop her. "Don't!"
"I cannot believe my roommate is hooking up with your roommate." Elizabeth said.
Her, Will and Rachel were sitting by the fountain. Ana and Jack had recently excused themselves to his room after spending an hour and a half of making out in the movie theatre.
"I think it's hilarious." Rachel said.
'Well, no one asked you.' Elizabeth thought.
"Yeah, you're the one who can go back to their dorm room." Will said causing both Elizabeth and Rachel to laugh. "I'm the one stuck waiting by the fountain for the next few hours."
They sat for several minutes in an awkward silence before Rachel spoke up. "So Will, did you get the assignment for 2D done?"
"Nah, not yet. But I'm really close to having it done. I just want to go over it one more time with charcoal to define it a bit more."
Elizabeth didn't really pay attention after that. For the umpteenth time that night, she had lost the battle for Will's attention.
"Hey guys, I'm gonna go. See ya later." She said not really waiting for an answer and began to walk back to her dorm. She heard footsteps behind her as Will caught up with her.
"Liz you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just going to go back home and watch a movie or something."
"Well, do you want me to come with you? We could make a movie night."
"That's okay." Elizabeth said in a defeated tone. "Just go hang out with Rachel. I understand Will."
"But Liz-"
"Really, it's cool. Go have fun." Elizabeth said looking at him with sad eyes before walking back to her dorm leaving a very confused Will behind.
