Jane woke up at around eight in the morning. She walked to the kitchen and saw a note on the fridge from Kali. 'Help yourself to whatever is in the kitchen.' Jane smiled gratefully as she looked around the kitchen.
She made herself a waffle with syrup and butter in it. She sat in the kitchen and ate her breakfast when she saw that she had received a text from Will. She opened it and began reading it.
Will: I finally told Mike last night.
Jane: And?
Will: He's willing to do the long-distance thing.
Jane: Sweet.
Max then entered the kitchen. She fixed herself some oatmeal and coffee. She sat beside Jane and began to eat. "Good morning," Max said. "How did you sleep?"
"I slept well, how about you?" Jane asked. Max was wearing black leggings and a dark blue hoodie. She had her hair up in a messy bun. Jane wondered how Max can look so good in the mourning. Jane wanted to kiss her, but she knew she couldn't.
"Same here," Max said. "We have a few hours to kill before the tour. What do you want to do?"
"I don't know," Jane said. "We can explore the town a little more, or we can go to the campus and see the areas they won't show us during the tour. What times does it begin again?"
"One," Max said. "But we should get there around twelve so we can have lunch beforehand. I know that they allow visitors to eat at their dining hall as long as they pay. Kali gave me a list of places we should visit so we can start there."
"Sounds like a good starting spot," Jane said. They then finish up breakfast and start getting ready. Jane thought about what it would be like if she and Max were college roommates. They were both staying in the dorms, so it was possible. She wondered if she could manage to live with Max twenty-four seven without falling for her harder.
The campus was pretty big. It was buzzing with life, and it took Max and Jane about twenty minutes before they found the food court. They ended up splitting a pepperoni pizza and drinking sodas. They talked with some of the upperclassmen about the school. They always looked at Max and Jane like they were babies.
Once they were finished with lunch, they went to the courtyard. The other soon-to-be freshmen were there as well. The tour was going to be led by Cody, a senior. He had vibrant red hair with dark purple tips.
"Good afternoon," Cody exclaimed. "We're going to have some fun today, but we have a few rules you must follow. No leaving the group unless you have permission. I know you guys are almost adults and should know this, but we always have at least three strays every year. You take your eye off of them for one moment and there already in the bathroom, getting high."
Jane just nodded along for the rest of the speech. Once he was finished, the tour began. They walked threw the halls, constantly being stopped by over-protective parents who had billions of questions. "That would be my dad if he was here," Jane whispered to Max.
"But he's not," Max said. "Because we're on a girl's trip!"
Jane and Max shared a high five before the tour continued.
That night, they went to the party that Kali's friend was having. Jesse opened the door. "You guys must be Kali's friends," Jesse said. Jane noticed that she was holding a bottle of beer. "Please come in."
They walked into the small apartment. Jane sat in a corner and watched the film that was on the TV while Max socialized with the college kids. Jane played on her phone. She usually only went to parties if one of her friends was hosting. She has certainly never been to a college party.
It was around two in the morning when Jane finally convinced Max to go home. Max wasn't flat out drunk, but she needed Jane's help to walk. Jane unlocked the apartment and took Max to her room. She laid her in the bed. "Let's play truth or dare," Max shouted.
"It's a little late for that," Jane whispered. "Also, we have to leave tomorrow morning."
"Please," Max said. Jane was about to leave, but Max grabbed Jane's wrist. She had a firm grip on it. "Please. This is our first sleepover so we have to play truth or dare. Just one round. Pleeeease."
"Fine," Jane said. "If it gets you to sleep, I will. Truth."
"If you could make out with any of our friends, who would it be?" Max asked.
"Dare," Jane said, not wanting to answer this question.
"You can't just change after the question is asked," Max groaned.
"But I did," Jane said.
"Fine," Max sighed. Her eyes darted around the room before she grew a mischievous smirk. "I know. I dare you to kiss me."
