(Part 3)

We finally arrive at our dorm building. You try to shake me off your back, but I hold on strong. Huffing and stomping your foot you state I had promised. I laugh and shake my head in disagreement. Technically I did not promise anything, the only thing I had said was "roger that" which implies that I heard you, but in no way did it mean I agree. You try to point out that it's three flights of stairs though. Seizing the perfect opportunity for comeback I point out that not long ago you had said that I'm so tiny anyways. You scoff at my ridiculousness and try once more to shake me off. As soon as you give up I pull out my ultimate trump card. "I poured my heart out today, my mind and body is exhausted" I say in the best sad voice I can pull. Your reply surprises me "I never asked you to." I know you meant no harm in it since I can see the smile playing at your lips meaning that you're now just going along with my act. So I mock gasp and continue with our act with "I see how it is Red, I pour my heart out to you thinking I could trust you, but in truth you never had any intention of ever really getting to know me." You laugh unable to continue this ridiculous dialogue eventually calling me a dork, but you can't help loving me more for it. I look down at you completely serious now "you love me?" You smile up at me. "It's been about a month since we've met, but from the get go I knew you my friend were special and that I would want you a part of my life for a very long time" you say. My heart sinks a little when you said friend, but I shake away the emotions for now trying to stay in this moment right now I go back to my happy-go-lucky self. I say "now take me upstairs (grinning stupidly down at you) and I'll give you a reward if you carry me all the way to my room." Before agreeing you want to know what the reward will be. I offer to buy all the snacks for the movie night tomorrow and attempt to stay awake the whole time. You stand there thinking over the offer and then a weird smile takes place on your face and you agree to me terms quickly starting the climb to our dorm floor. I have a sinking feeling that I just made a bad decision. You carry me all the way upstairs, but before you can take me to my room I ask you to take us to the DAs office. Upon entering the office Ms. Kelly looks at me with a questioning gaze and I just smile at her acting oblivious to our position. I request to reserve the TV room for a good two and half hours tomorrow for movie night. Ms. Kelly looks surprised and it's probably because I had told her before how much I hate movies which is why I was always in the lounge. I quickly explain that you were forcing me to which is why you were piggybacking me. You cut in and state that was not the reason, but because I wanted to sleep on the hill and you being the kind person you are couldn't allow that. Waving my hand in the air I say "yeah, yeah same smell." You scoff and say that it was not the same thing. I shrug my shoulders and say it kind of is since we just both left out a lot of details but the main point was you were giving me a piggyback ride. Ms. Kelly laughs at our little disagreement and waves it away and then asks us if we were around when security got there. We both nod and I explain it was the reason we left the dorm. Ms. Kelly nods in understanding and says we were lucky security wasn't all concerned about us, but I was no longer allowed to convince her let me stay in her office without her. I protest mentioning that we weren't caught though. She looks at me straight and says "just no." I pout in defeat and call her a buzz kill. That gets a laugh out of her and you and I quickly decide we should leave before you try to shake me off again. Ms. Kelly wishes us a good night and I reply with nighters. You don't move from our spot in the office and instead I'm being stared at by you and her. You both confusedly ask at the same time "nighters?!" I roll my eyes and say that I had a friend that got me used to saying it and that Ms. Kelly should feel honored since I only use it with people I actually like. After that we left and you continued to carry me to my room. You were about to walk into my room that's when I jumped off your back. I stop you from entering my room and remind you of the rules. You stare at me in disbelief for a few seconds before saying "you went into my room." I explain the situation was different therefore the rule was invalid. You ask how it was any different. I tell you that you needed to be comforted and being a good friend trumps following the rules sometimes. Then I point out that anyways you did go into my room that exact same day. You say it was so quick and that I had stayed in your room for at least ten minutes. I let out a little laugh at you and promise to let you into my room one day soon. Your eyes shine and you pester me asking me how soon. Smirking I say "it should be in a couple days since if I remember clearly it's your turn to do your dorm leaders duty of room inspections. You gasp and just glare at me and declare that one of these days you're going to get me to allow you into my room outside of dorm leader duties. I nod unconvincingly and say "yeah sure whatever you say Red. Night." "What no nighters?" you ask sounding offended. I just smile and simply say nope. You huff and turn on your heel and sulk towards your room before I yell out "Sweet Dreams Red." You glance back and see me giving you my goofy smile before you run back towards me and hug me tightly. "And here I thought I wouldn't get my hug" I say while lightly chuckling. You punch my arm lightly calling me mean before saying "Sweet dreams Apples." "Apples?!" I ask. You tell me it's my new nickname based off my scent. "Okay I could roll with that it does beat books. Unless of course you called me Cinderella Books." I say. "Cinderella Books, really?" you say confused. I mention that yeah since I was your Princess now. You look completely puzzled. "Did you not turn into a horse and carry me all the way back home before midnight?" I smugly say. Your eyes widen in realization that I had planned the whole thing. I wink at you in confirmation of your thoughts and say "it's a good thing you love me and want me to be part of your life." You agree sticking your tongue out at me before kissing my cheek and skipping off to your room. I can't wait for tomorrow.
