I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Katrina's Point of View-
I woke up the next morning hearing his door open then shut, I sat up scratching at my head.
"Good morning." Abed said causing me to snap my head back to look at the man I was resting on.
"How long have you been up?" I asked.
"Not that long, didn't want to wake you." Abed said.
"You both were out when I left." Jeff said from looking in the refrigerator.
"Where were you off to this morning?" Abed asked.
"Apartment issues, I'm hungry, you all want to come with me to the cafeteria?" Jeff asked shutting the refrigerator door.
"I'll join you." I said moving Abed's blanket off me standing up, "But I got to go get money from my dorm." I said walking towards the door.
"I'll cover you, don't worry." Jeff said.
"I don't think so, your in a struggle as it is, it'll take a few moments." I said walking into the trashed hallway, it was normal after Friday nights for it to only get trashed more after tonights parties. I walked over to my dorm door unlocking it with the key that luckily didn't fall out of my pocket last night pushing the door open going in without closing it. I went straight to my purse pulling out my wallett and left my purse unzippped heading back towards the door passing the mirror only to stop in front of it looking in it long enough to fix my bed hair problem I had. I then walked back towards the door walking out shutting the door locking it again with the key, I didn't bother grabbing anything neccessary like my phone charger, hair burshes or anything to freshen up, my cell phone is dead so my mom is probably freaking out since she calls every Saturday to check in. I walked over to Abed's door about to knock on it when Jeff flung the door open causing us both jump.
"I was just about to get you, Abed decided to join us. ABED!" Jeff said as he led Abed and I to the cafeteria like we didn't know how to get there.
"Thanks for letting me crash at your dorm last night and lay on you, and use your blanket." I said.
"We were both tired, and you were coming back over today anyway." Abed said shrugging like it was no big deal.
"I think I could of made it to my dorm."
"Then why'd you stay if you could of made it to your dorm?" Jeff asked as I could tell he enjoyed overhearing our conversations turning to smile at me.
"Yeah, why'd you stay then?" Abed asked feeling my cheeks starting to burning red of embarrassment.
"I was afraid of the loud grizzly bear that was growling inside the room, I was afraid of the noises that might of been in the hall." I said scrambling my brain and I hoped that it made sense.
"I don't snore if that is what your referring to."
"I think she was and you do snore quite loudly." Abed said matter of factly.
"Wouldn't you want to leave from the loud grizzly bear?"
"It might of attacked." I joked.
"Yeah, he'll probably have a death lock and pull you back onto the couch with him." Abed joked back.
"Are we done talking about my sleeping habits? I would still like to know what the real reason why she stayed." Jeff said.
"I told you about the grizzly bear rightt?" I said, I wasn't going to tell him the truth especially with Abed standing right there, I'm not going ot say 'Oh, I stayed because Abed asked me and I wanted to stay in Abed's arms and embrace longer.'
"I asked her to stay, it was late and she was coming back over today." Abed said glancing over at me with a tad smirk on his face.
"You didn't ask me if it was okay." Jeff said as he pulled open the door leading into the cafeteria.
"We didn't want to wake the sleeping bear." I said.
"Shut up." He said as I grasped the door holding it open letting Abed walk in before I stepped through the doorway holding the door open for the people that was coming in behind us, Jeff went to the coffee stand and I got in line for actual food behind Abed grabbing a tray and plate along with a thing of silverware and a cup setting them on my tray. I looked at the menu they had scanning over it not knowing what to get.
"What are you getting?" I asked looking over at Abed who was looking at the menu as well.
"I'm getting the chicken breast sandwich, what are you getting?" He asked.
"I'm thinking about going unhealthy and get a cheeseburger with fries." I said grabbing some ketchup and salt.
"Its not an uncommon pick." Abed said as Jeff joined the line behind us carrying a brewed coffee grabbing a tray putting his coffee down on his tray.
"Why is the cafeteria food and the places on campus always expensive?" Jeff asked.
"Because it's college, if its not one thing it's another. And they think that we have all the money in the world, which is far from the truth." I said as we moved up in line, Abed placed his order.
"Thats why I rarely come to the cafeteria." Abed said as the cafeteria worker handed hsis sandwich over the glass, I told her what I wanted.
"Stuff in the vending machine might be cheaper but just as unhealthy." Jeff said.
"Cheaper is the lifestyle I like to live." I said as I reached over the glass with my plate so she could set my cheeseburger and side of fries on my plate.
"Sometimes the cheap and simple things in life are the best things." Abed said as we stepped forward in line to place Jeff's order.
"Very true, people take possessions too seriously." I said as Abed looked over at Jeff, "No offense?" I said in a questionable tone.
"It's cool." Jeff said as the caferteria worker handed Jeff his plate of food.
"What'd you get?" I asked curiourlsy stepping forward for Abed to pay.
"The chilli cheese fries." Jeff said, it didn't look that advertising.
"I'll get us a table." Abed said picking up his tray walking away, I pushed my tray in front of the cashier pulling my wallett out to pay the cashier as the cashier rung up my food.
"You like him huh?" Jeff asked.
"What?" I asked pretending not to hear him.
"Don't pretend you didn't hear me, that's the oldest trick in the book, actually I think I invented it." Jeff said as I handed the cashier my credit card.
"I don't know what your talking about." I said getting my reciept and card back from the cashier putting my card and reciept in my wallett putting it in my pocket picking my tray up going to the condiment table putting pickles on my cheeseburger then went to the soda fountain filling up my glass turning around scanning the crowd for where Abed was sitting.
"You never answered my question." Jeff said standing beside me.
"And it was?" I asked.
"You like Abed don't you?"
"I'm not anwering it, end of story." I said walking off not knowing where I was going.
"Over here." Abed said waving to get my attention, I walked over to the table setting my tray down sliding onto the bench across from him.
"The cafeteria seems packed more than usual." I said as I opened one pack of ketchup squirting it onto my hambureer.
"A lot of classes must of just got out or alot of people just got up like us." Abed said as Jeff joined us sitting down next to me.
"What's the plan for tonight?" Jeff asked.
"I got homework to finish and memorizing to do." I said as I put the top bun back onto my cheeseburger.
"Do that tonight plus homework is for sissies." Jeff said.
"We'll wait for the bear to go to sleep." Abed said as he bit into his sandwich, "Oh, Monday, we're going with Katrina to her audition."
"I'm going, since when?" Jeff asked.
"You don't have to go if you don't want to." I said.
"I'll go, what are you auditiong for?" Jeff asked putting an arm on the back of the bench behind me.
"A new show that is starting up soon." I said.
"That's cool, I'll go with you guys to support you." Jeff said.
"How nice of you." I said as he put a fry in his mouth covered with chilli smiling as he chewed on it, "Ew." I said lightly bumping him with my shoulder.
"I'm going to go get napkins, be back." Abed said sliding out of his side of the table, Jeff followed him with his head.
"You SO like him." Jeff said slowly rolling his head over to look at me.
"No, I do not. I'm going back to my dorm, tell Abed I'll see you guys there." I said climbing out of the booth going over to the garbage can hearing Abed asked Jeff 'Where'd Katrina go?' and he stammered with his words, 'She went back to her dorm.' Jeff responded, I grabbed my cheeseburger and soda off the tray before tossing rest of it out and headed out of the cafeteria eating and drinking as I went back to my dorm. I tossed my drink into my garabage can before I walked around the island over to my phone charger plugging in my phone and turned it back on. I went over to my laundry bag dragging it over next to the couch opening it looking at my phone waiting for it to light up for missed calls and voicemails. I pulled out articles of clothing folding them and putting them in different piles finally seeing my phone light up saying 3 new voicemails. 'I thought there would be more.' I thought pulling the phone onto my lap trying not to pull it off its charger. I called my voicemail, two from my mom and other from my dad. I dialed my moms number then put it up between my ear and shoulder hearing it ring as I went back to folding. I heard a click of someone picking up on the line, "Hello?"
"Katrina? Thank god, I've been freaking out all day." My mom said in relievement.
"Sorry, I forgot to charge my phone last night and it died."
"Why didn't you charge it? I told you to always keep your phone charged."
"Sorry mom, I stayed the night at my friends dorm and forgot to bring my charger." I said putting my shirt in its proper pile.
"Aw, you've made friends, whats her name?"
"His name." I corrected.
"It's an he? You better not let him interfere with your school work."
"Mom!" I whined rolling my eyes.
"You start out as friends then more than friends, I don't want you to get distracted or hurt."
"He's in my science class, actually he's going to help me with our homework assignment." I said.
"That's nice of him, I never got his name."
"Abed." I said grabbing the phone with my hand holding it up to my ear to give my shoulder a break.
"A-bed?" My mom said pronouncing it as two different words.
"It's Abed." I corrected.
"What kind of name is that?"
"Mom!"
"What? You don't see many people named Abed." My mom said in a matter of fact tone.
"Guess what?" I asked excitedly.
"What?"
"I got an audition Monday for a new television show." I said excitedly.
"Do you want dad and I to come with you?" My mom asked in a concerned voice.
"Nah, Abed and Jeff is accompanying me." I said putting my phone between my shoulder and ear to get another piece of cloth folding it.
"Jeff?"
"He's Abed's friend, he's crashing in Abed's dorm until he can get back on his feet."
"That's nice, how was school this week?"
"Interesting..." I said hearing a knock at the door, "Mom, I got to let you go, call you back later." I said hanging up, I'm going to get in trouble for that, I got up going to the door opening it seeing Abed holding a choclate cake.
"You ran off before I bought dessert." Abed siad.
"Sorry....come in." I said stepping aside.
"I thought you were coming over to my place?" He said with a sad expression on his face.
"I will, I got to finish folding my laundry and call...." I said as my phone started ringing the Indiana Jones theme, I ran into my dorm picking it up waving for him to come in, Abed walked in shutting the door as I answered the phone. "Hi mom." I said sitting on the arm of the couch, Abed sat at the table setting the chocolate cake down on the table in front of him.
"Hi mom!" Abed exclaimed.
"SH! Keep some of that for me!" I said.
"What's going on over there?" My mom asked.
"Nothing....Abed says hi." I said.
"Where are your forks?"
"The pull out drawer next to the sink."
"You want one?" Abed asked and I nodded.
"KATRINA! Are you listening to me?" My mom exclaimed.
"What mom?" I asked gigling as Abed danced back to the table with his fork hanging out of his mouth, I sat there listeng to my mom yell at me about hanging up on her and not paying attention to her, "Sorry mom, I seriously have to let you go."
"I love you and no parties."
"I know, I'm going to be studying with Abed tonight." I said.
"Okay."
"Bye." I said hanging up walking over to the table pulling my chair closer to eat at the cake.
