'Hey'
Kirsten looks up from her reading to see Sandy standing in front of her. She was sitting on the steps of her building again, waiting for her next class.
'Hey' watching Sandy sit besides her 'you okay? You kinda look like um-'
'Me and Rebecca just finished fighting'
'Oh sorry' looking down at her books again
'I don't know what's going on with us anymore'
'What do you mean?'
'Seems like were always fighting. We'll start off fine then the next we'll start yelling and she'll walk out'
Be a friend Kirsten she thought 'I'm sure you'll work it out'
'I don't know. Sorry for bothering you with this'
'No its okay'
Sandy looks at her then smiled
'What?' she ask
'Nothing' shaking his head 'hey my friends and I are throwing a party tonight at our place you know before finals begins next week you should come'
'I don't know'
'It'll be fun-please Kirsten' giving her that damn smile again. He's always doing that whenever he's asking her to do something.
'But I won't know anyone there'
'I'll be there'
'I don't think Rebecca would like that'
'I really don't care what Rebecca thinks right now' bowing his head.
Kirsten looks at him 'I'll think about it'
'So 8?'
'I said I'll think about it' she laughs
'Oh come on…it's our last chance to have fun…so 8?' leaning his face close to hers
'8' she said quietly. She couldn't believe that he was this close to her. 'I..um..i have to go..class…starting'
'Yeah' he whispered before leaning in closer and kissing her softly.
Kirsten was taken by surprise that she didn't respond immediately but when she felt Sandy pull away she placed her hand on his cheek and kisses him again. Pulling away Kirsten looks at Sandy and sees him smiling at her
'I um' she started but was interrupted by the bell ringing 'I have to go'. She quickly grabs her books then left Sandy sitting on the steps
'Kirsten wait!' Sandy grasp her left arm to stop her 'wait please'
Kirsten stops then turns to him with her head down.
'8 tomorrow?' he said
Kirsten looks at him trying to gauge if he's serious or not then nods he head '8'
Sandy smiles then quickly drops a kiss on her cheek before running down the steps leaving Kirsten with a smile on her face watching him go before heading inside. She can't wait for that party tomorrow, what am I going to wear.

'hey em what do you think' showing her two dresses 'red or black?'
Emily turns around to look at Kirsten then at the dress she's holding 'date?'
'no just a party. So which one?'
'black. What party?'
'Sandy invited me to this party at his place' she answered absentmindedly. She was busy looking at herself in the mirror while holding both dresses against her.
'oh that party'
'going?'
'no…David's gonna be there'
'I thought things were going well'
'it was except he forgot to tell me that he has a girlfriend'
Kirtesn stops looking at herself then at her friend then back at herself again. 'have you met her?' she ask quietly
'the girlfriend?'
'yeah'
'no not yet…meeting the girlfriend will just make things worse' she answered not noticing that Kirsten suddenly looks pale 'I'm telling you that is not pretty. So yeah me and David, so over'
'that's too bad' she answered. She feels like she's going to be sick.
'no not really' before turning to face Kirsten 'hey you okay?'
'yeah'
Walking closer to her 'you sure? You don't look to good'
'I'm fine…umm…I'm gonna go change' before quickly running to her room and collapsing on her bed. what did I get myself into
'a triangle?' it's the voice in her head again
'oh please I don't need you right now okay'
'okay but I have one thing to say'
'what?'
'you better start getting ready its almost 8'
'aargh'

Kirsten arrives 30 minutes late but it's a party so no one really show up on time. She has also manage to drag her friend Emily with her so she will not be the only one arriving late.
'I'm gonna find some drinks want one?' ask Emily
'no its okay I'm gonna go find sandy'
'okay'
She watch her friend walk away before making her way around the small apartment. She has looked both downstairs and upstairs but no Sandy. She's also asked some of his friends that she recognize but none of them saw him either. Finally she decided that she has spent enough time looking for him and wants to go home. She now has to find Em so they can leave.
When she found her friend she wasn't surprised that Em was sitting on the lap of some guy and laughing with him. Walking over to them, she taps her friend on the shoulder and tells her that she's going home.
'oh okay just let me get my purse in the kitchen'
'no no stay'
'are you sure?'
'yeah yeah' looking at the guy she was with 'you and um..'
'Tod' he said extending his hand
Kirsten shook it before saying goodbye to them.

Walking outside Kirsten couldn't help but look around still hoping to find Sandy, she wish she hadn't. On the other side of the street she saw Sandy and Rebecca sitting on the curb making out. To avoid seeing them and be seen by Sandy, Kirsten walks to the back of the building and hurriedly made her way back to her dorm.
