THE ARRIVAL
STACIE P.O.V.
Late, late, late! I was running on the kitchen, fully dress already. I was supposed to be up at 7 to leave with Charlie to BU, but that was 3 hours ago. Dating Donald last night left me with a really cruel hangover. We went to the club and played strip-tease poker at the office. The rules were pretty simple, if you wanted to keep your cloth on, you took a tequila shot. Sadly for me, Donald was Barden's Poker Champion, and I ended in my underwear drinking a bottle and a half. The tough part was explaining to Charlie that nothing happen between us, because I was half naked, clearly drunk and in her mind Donald was a psychotic rapist Ripper who drank the blood of beautiful half virgins like me. Before that I do tried to get inside his pants, but he told me that I was too drunk to remember any of that in the morning, and that wasn't his style.
Now I'm in a rush with burnt toasts and half of my fingernails undone. God! I miss Donald.
Today is the big day, missy. My Grandma shouted from the living room, just try not to break your leg before leaving ok? I don't get it, why is so funny for her? I'm freaking out right now! My last thought before eating my breakfast. I was already done with my hair when I received the first text from Donald.
-Hey, Barden Girl. How is the hangover? -
I could imaging him with the smirk on his face, laughing about the fact that I was wasted.
- Don't tease me, Donald. I have a terrible headache and I'm late-
SEND. I gave me a final look on the mirror. I wore a short white denim pants, and a tight-fitting blue sweater with long sleeves. Buzz, buzz.
-I'm sorry darling, I put some aspirins in your purse, last night-
My purse? I ran to my bedroom and jumped in the bed. My pursed was somewhere under it. I started throwing some of the cloth I was wearing last night and I found my Michael Kors black purse. I started looking inside of it, until I found a big new box of aspirins. Buzz, buzz.
-still there? Still love me? -
I had a big smile on my mouth. I texted him back right away.
-Of course I do. You're an angel, babe -
SEND. This last couple of days our relationship had been increasing about the way we talk to each other. Donald was a marshmallow and I melted every time that he texted me something. Buzz, buzz
-told ya'. Where r u, sugar pie? u're still coming for my gig?-
I went into the cab after saying bye to my folks, with just my purse and a hand bag with the outfit I was using last night. The rest of my cloth was on Charlie's car, so I supposed it was waiting for me in the trunk. I was 25 minutes away from the BU. #FML.
- Sorry babe, and 25 min away… I'll make it up—
SEND. I really wanted to see Donald perform. He told me a lot about the Treblemakers and I could tell that it was really important for him. He tried to introduce me this week but there was a lot happening on that house and a couple of rehearsals that kept me away from Donald for hours. Buzz, buzz
-I'll wait for that. Call me when you arrive. -
I listed mentally the thing that I have to do before I met Donald. That included picking up my bags, talk to Charlie about my new dorm and retouch my make-up, which was a disaster.
-I call you from my dorm. Miss you. -
SEND. When the cab arrived I got off and a known blonde girl approached to me.
Hi, there! Welcome to… I looked at her a little confuse and with a smirk. Oh, is just you. She handed me a whistle and a brochure. Here is your Campus map and your official BU rape whistle, Charlie faked a smile, and remember, don't blow it unless is actually happening. I laughed without control, I couldn't believe that she was forced to repeat that thing! I put the whistle between my breasts, just in case. I already left your bags at your dorm, you have to ask Donna, the dorm head, for the key and your roommate, Ashley, is already there. That was too much to digest. I nodded a couple of times and then just walked away and Charlotte was already approaching to someone else.
I started walking across the campus, to the Baker Hall dorm. I passed through some black big iron gates and saw a lot of really weird people. To my left there was some kind of fraternity douche bags with numbers on little card, scoring girls. One of them whistled at me and then winked before he said "call me". I kept walking I saw a random girl with one of the Welcome committee guys, that were all dress in a canary yellow t-shirt; they were walking with a big box full of stuffed animals. I stared at the girl and suddenly a girl with ginger hair crashed into me.
Oh God! I'm really sorry. She shouted, I almost fell but I was ok, I'm on a rush and I didn't saw you. She was picking up her fliers and I kneeled to help her. She was using a pretty blue dress with little squares and on the fliers I could read 'BARDEN BELLAS' Oh, thanks! Really you didn't have to.
It's ok, I muttered, giving it no importance, It was my fault too. I wasn't looking either. I handed her all the fliers and stared at one of them. Will you like to audition? I heard her said. The flier was about a bunch of girls singing a-capella.
I don't really sing…I replied, I wasn't really sure, I have a nice voice but all this a-cappella stuff was something I will need to discuss with Donald. Chloe handed me one of the fliers just in case. If you change your mind there's audition's day and my number. I just nodded and smile at her, it will be nice but Donald was first.
I walked a little more and then turned to the left, right threw a pair of iron doors. I got into the dorm and met Donna and another girl, Jessica. The dorm head was the sweetest woman I ever seen. She explained to us everything we needed to know about the dorms, the showers, and boys who were allowed on the dorms but we have to try not to annoy our roommates or she won't be easy on us. She also explained to me how to get to the room 104 that was the one I'll share with Ashley Campbell.
I got into the room and knocked the door a couple of times. Just like Charlie told me, Ashley was already there, with a boy in a red hoodie, just like Donald's. They stared at me just for a moment and then the boy broke the silence. Well, I should keep going… you girls must have a lot to chat. The boy walked out the room but I'm pretty sure I heard him said 'bye Stace'.
Hi, I said to my new roommate. She was ok, dark hair, nice smile white skin, maybe a little to shy. I'm Stacie, are you Ashley? She gave me a nice smile before she nodded. Nice to meet you.
The same for me. Ashley was pretty cool, she had discuss with Charlie already why I like the left side of the room, and we chat a lot about each other to get to know us. Ashley's folks were and hour ago and she want a major in literature. The boy who just left the room was… not her boyfriend, just a friend from town who helped her with all the blending in procedures, but I do noticed that they were totally in for each other. I can tell.
DONALD P.O.V.
I was trying to reach Stacie since I get her last text. I knew she was already here, Wes told me that she is Ashley's new roommate. Why she didn't text me back? Was she ok? I looked like an anxious squirrel, jumping from one side to the other during the gig. We were singing 'Let it Whip' from the Dazz Band. We were almost at the end when a couple of guys stood closer and heard us sing, Uni was playing with his Unicycle again, and he carried that thing whenever we go. The only reason why he didn't used at the stage is because Bumper thread him, saying that he will roll the treble bus over it if he get to used it on stage. Suddenly we hit to the final line Let it whip! And a stray football hit him on the face, knocking him to the ground. I putted my 'I told you so' face I continued texting to Stacie.
Suddenly Bumper stood next to Wes, and I smelled problems. I stood next to them and heard part of the conversation. When you came in and you were just strumming the guitar Things seems to be pretty calm but knowing Bumper as much as I knew him… and it was, like, totally off-key, I wanted to choke you!
Bumper I tried to interfere but he was already on. I wanted to choke you out! I put a hand on his right shoulder Bumper, calm down man, the song was great. Wes got in last year, there's some things we need to fix but it was cool. And like a helping hand from heaven one of the two guys that were staring at us came closer to say hi. One of them look pretty cool but the other was the one who talk.
Hi, he repeated, Benjamin Applebaum. He tried to reach Bumper's hands but Bumper moved away. I saw you guys perform at the "Mall of America" like three years ago, totally changed my life, I haven't stopped thinking about you since. And that was it. He dug his own grave just with that phrase I heard Bumper said thank you but I knew that he was thinking exactly what I was thinking, but I was the polite one.
Uni got on the unicycle again, I heard a guy asking for the football and he threw it… like a little girl. I looked back and he was on the floor again. And Benji's self-destruction wasn't over already. Bumper, huge fan… your arrangement of Lovin' Spoonful's "Do you Believe in Magic" inspired me to become a certified illusionist. He made a dome trick with a red scarf that got stuck on his fake thumb. I heard the other guy said Wow! But he noticed that the situation was as weird as I thought it was, The Smell of your "weird" is actually affecting my vocal cords. So I'm gonna need you to scoot. Skedaddle. And there was just Bumper being a douche. The guy seems disappointed. I wanted to interfere but I knew that nothing that came out of my mouth will fix that… but he kept trying. So why don't we exchange e-mails, then totally hang out right now, together? Bumper started shocking his head so hard that his lips started making a weird sound, No, Hard pass. Hard pass. Poor guy. The other one took him by the shoulders and took him out of here. Bumper placed a hand on the right sound of his mouth and shouted 'What a nerd alert!' and the rest of the trebles started laughing. Bumper asked us to match pitch and that was my opportunity to sneak out.
STACIE P.O.V.
I was so focused on Ashley that I totally forgot about calling Donald. I happen to remembered when he stood on the door and knocked.
Hello, hello… He didn't look mad, just a little concern. I saw at the watch on the top of the door, I was supposed to call him almost an hour ago. I stood up from Ashley's bed and hugged him, I missed him so much. He put his arms around me and I felt like in heaven. Baby, you're here! But how…
Donna is a friend of mine. He muttered next to my ear. Sugar, I was worry, you were supposed to call me when you arrive. I sent you a bunch of texts.
I know, I know I nodded, I was just glad because I was with him but it was unfair from me. I'm sorry, that was probably my fault. I heard Ashley said. She said hi to Donald and he smiled at her. Then he turned into me and gave me a light kiss on the mouth. Ashley stared at us and blushed. That was the moment when I remembered that I needed to introduce him.
I'm sorry Ash… this is my… My? My what? I'm her Donald, He finished for me, and smirked at me. He took my hand and pull me closer to him. He put his hand around my waist and put his head on my shoulder, my back close to his chest. We look nice together right? Ashley nodded and started laughing.
How was your gig, babe? I asked trying to get a little less uncomfortable. I pulled his hand and we sat at my bed, I was over his lap. Ashley look at us like we were some kind of American's sweethearts and that make me blush a little bit.
It was ok, His eyes where focused on my lips and her arms were all the way around my waist. Bumper tried to choke one of the guys, a couple of nerds, no big deal… He gave me another light kiss and change the subject. Babe, I want you to meet the guys. I heard him said, We have been busy this week but we have a couple of hours this afternoon I wasn't prepared to meet anybody, specially his friends. My make-up was a disaster.
Li-like now? I'm stuttering again!
Yes, they are waiting for us. I hate my life. He looked at Ashley, and ask her to come. She nodded and I saw the opportunity, I ask for a moment to fix our make-up. I pulled her by the hand and get her into the bathroom. Ok, I will be here… outside… alone.
He is not your boyfriend, right? Asley asked me after I close the door behind us. I shook a little and stared for a moment in front of the mirror, evaluating my make-up. But he want to… and you want him to. I can tell. I smiled at her and put her some blush on the cheeks. I told her a little bit about Donald, but not too much, I didn't know if he was out there trying to hear our conversation. After a few minutes we were ready to leave. I opened the door and three more guys in their red hoodies were in our room. It's show time.
