"Well, at least it stopped raining." Jody said.
"What, you aren't having a good time?" Charlie asked.
"Oh, no it's not that…" Jody's voice trailed off and she looked helplessly at Eva.
"Well, I for one was wondering when you two were gonna get together." Eva said slyly.
"Huh?" Jody gave her a questionable look.
"You and Charlie!! I mean, you guys have been flirting all year!" Eva teased.
"Really?" Jody smiled at Charlie.
"So Jody," Eva continued, "What happened with your parents?"
"Not to much… I told them about you guys… and about Cooper's company. That's basically it."
Charlie nodded and casually put his arm around Jody. "So, we get to meet them?"
"Sure." Jody nodded. "If I ever see them. Right now all I see is Cooper flirting his ass off with Linnie. He's 10 years older than her!"
"Tell me, what do you girls see in him?" Charlie asked, glancing at Linnie.
"You wanna answer that for us Jody?" Eva joked.
Jody blushed and looked away from Charlie. "Well, he can be sorta charming… and he is cute. But that's pretty much as deep as Cooper gets, unfortunately. "
"Uh huh." Charlie mumbled as he watched Linnie. She was just so pretty…
"Charlie!! Stop staring at her already! She's only 16! Snap out of it." Jody exclaimed.
Charlie blushed and turned back to his date. "Sorry Jody. I just kinda spaced out there. You wanna dance some more?"
"Trust me, I've danced enough for one day. Thanks anyway."
"Ok. But I just thought you'd wanna show off that beautiful dress, you look great."
Jody smiled and kissed him quickly. "You are too much Charles Simms."
"See what I mean!" Eva exclaimed.
Charlie laughed and turned back to his lovely date… and just happened to have a perfect view of Linnie over her shoulder.
~**~ BACK IN THE DORMS ~**~
"Did you see the way Charlie kept staring at Linnie tonight? I mean, I was his date!!" Jody exclaimed.
"Yeah, want me to kiss his ass for you?"
"No, Eva! Don't be stupid."
"I'm not stupid!! Just, give the guy a break! He's not even your boyfriend."
"I know, I know. But still… he's asks me out and gets all flirty and when he finally gets me, he wants someone else!" Jody said as she climbed into her bed.
Back in Sergei, Charlie, and Erik's room, the guys sat around talking, like they did every night.
"Did you see that Linnie girl? She was gorgeous!" Charlie exclaimed from where he was lounging across his top bunk.
"Yeah, she was. But Charlie, you've been after Jody all year! Now you finally got her! I don't think I can stand anymore love life complaints from you." Sergei said.
"I know… and Jody's really great."
"Exactly! Linnie is only 16! She's practically in love with Cooper anyway. You hate Cooper!"
"Oh, please. Not that again!" Erik spoke up.
Charlie glared at his friends. "Whatever. I'm gonna go say good-night to Jody." Charlie leapt off his bed and slammed the door behind him.
Charlie wandered down the hallway and up to the next floor, hoping he wouldn't get caught. They weren't supposed to be on any of the girls floors, but he didn't care. He wanted to say goodnight to Jody. The most beautiful girl he'd ever seen… until Linnie… no no no! Charlie knocked lightly on Jody's dorm room door.
Jody lay in her bed talking to Eva when she heard the knock.
"That's probably Maureen." Jody mumbled as she got out of her bed. She opened the door and saw Charlie standing there. "Oh, hey Charlie."
Charlie looked at Jody and his face turned bright red. He turned around quickly. "Uh, sorry Jody. I just wanted to say Good-night."
"What?" Jody looked at herself and gasped. "Hold on." She slammed the door and leaned against it.
"Who was that?" Eva asked.
"Charlie!!!" Jody exclaimed.
"So?"
"EVA!!! I'm like totally in my underwear!" Jody said as she pulled on some jeans and an old sweatshirt. She opened the door back up slowly and smiled awkwardly at Charlie. "Uh, hey." She shut the door behind her and stepped out into the hallway.
"Hey Jody… I just wanted to say goodnight. I'm sorry about that-"
"Charlie, just don't even think it. It's sweet you wanted to say goodnight, but what if you get caught??"
"I don't really care. They can't quite kick me out. Well, night Jody."
"Night Charlie." Jody gave him a quick kiss, but he pulled her close against his body and kissed her passionately. Eva opened the door a few minutes later and rolled her eyes.
"Jody!! Charlie!!" Eva called out.
Jody pulled back from Charlie and blushed. "Eva… well, good-night Charlie." Jody gave him one last quick kiss and they girls rushed back to their room.
Charlie smiled to himself and went back to his room. "Hey guys." He mumbled to his roommates as he climbed back up on his bed.
"Hey Charlie. Get caught?" Sergei asked.
"Nope. I just made out with Jody in the hallway."
"Well, that's nice." Erik said, a little jealous.
Charlie rolled his eyes and closed his eyes slowly. "Nighty night roomies."
