Flying Together

Chapter 2: Roommates

            "Come on Guy, we both know that this was gonna end sooner or later. We're almost out of high school."

            "I know. But I just…"

            "Just what, Guy? Come on, I really need to go."

            "I just thought it would be different with us…"

            "Connie? You all right?"

            "Hmm? Oh…yeah Luis, I'm fine." Connie sighed, fumbling for her keys as they approached the door.

            "Come on, what's wrong?"

            Connie turned around and flashed him a classic Connie Moreau smile. Luis grinned back, continuously in awe of how an adorable little thing like Connie could be such a machine on the ice. Like Luis, Connie was also an Eden Hall Duck and had been since she was 12 years old. "I'm really ok Luis. Just concerned about finals, that's all."

            She went to put her key in the door when Luis's arm stopped across the frame. "Fess up honey, I know you better than that."

            Connie sighed, No you don't, she wanted to say. No one knows me better than Guy… But she shook it off. She had to stop thinking like that. She was with Luis now, and had been for quite some time. It was over…for the better. "Luis," she raised her eyebrows and moved his arm out of the way. "I'm fine ok? Don't worry about me."

            "Sometimes I just feel so unappreciated," Luis mocked.

            "Aww, poor baby. Come on, get outta here. I gotta study."

            "All right, call me tonight?"

            "You bet."

She gave him a peck on the cheek and started to open the door when Luis pulled her close and kissed her fully on the lips. Connie smiled at him as he pulled away, "See ya later." She headed into her room, closing the door behind her, "Whoa, take a look at the Cat!" she said once inside as she turned to face her roommate and close friend, Julie Gaffney.

"Whadya think?" she asked, spinning around for inspection. It was the simplest of dresses, jet black satin with a low yet tasteful sparkling silver neckline. She had simple earrings and her hair was braided back. On her wrist she wore a single bracelet that Scooter had given her last year. Julie the Cat looked stunning.

"Gorgeous!" her roommate gushed as she slid her backback off her shoulder and plopped onto the bed next to her. "Scooter's gonna go nuts."

"I hope so. This thing cost me 80 dollars."

Connie laughed as she kicked off her sneakers and spread herself over the bed. "Oh my what a day."

"Ending up with a steamy love scene played out right in our very own hallway might I add."

Connie flashed her a look, "Shut up. It was a kiss."

"Hey," Julie held her hands up in surrender, "I wasn't judging, I thought it was cute. Cute that's all…just like Luis," she added.

But Connie just sighed again, "Yes, Luis is very cute." She huffed and drooped her head down.

Julie smiled sympathetically and set herself down on the bed. "Guy called again."

Connie nodded into the pillow. "He told me in the hallway. Just wanted to talk."

"There's nothin' wrong with just being his friend Con. You don't have to be afraid of him. It's been almost a year."

She sat up and twirled with the ends of her long brown hair, "I know. It's just hard."

"I know."

"It's no wonder that 'we can always be friends' never works in the movies."

Julie nodded and stood up again to freshen her mascara. "Don't think about it too much Con. It just takes time. You were friends a lot longer than you were actually together."

Connie nodded, "So where's college-boy taking you this time?"

Julie smiled. She had felt so much better than she had a couple hours ago. The pain in her stomach was gone and she was back to her old self. In the end she had decided she was just being childish. It was a stupid crush. Not even a crush. It was an "after-crush." Like the taste left in your mouth after drinking a cherry coke. But there was nothing really there. Adam and she had been best friends for almost 5 years. And Scooter had been her boyfriend for 3. She wasn't about to mess up either relationship just because her daydreams got away from her.

"Hello? Earth to Jules?"

"Heh, sorry. Just thinking."

"I'll say, one mention of Scooter and you're off in la la land."

Julie gave a dramatic sigh, "Isn't it grand?"

The phone rang and Connie picked it up, "Hello?…hey Scooter…no she's right here…all ready, and she looks fantastic, I hope you're--……umm…no, why?…ooooook," Connie looked up and cocked an eyebrow at Julie, "Ok…she'll be down in a few minutes," she hung the phone in her cradle.

"What?"

"He uh, had to cancel the reservations at the restaurant so quote-un-quote, you don't have to get all dressed up."

Julie gave her a slight pout, "Hmph, wonder what that's all about."

"He says to get changed and come downstairs. He needs to talk to you but only for a few minutes."

Julie slumped down on her own bed and slid her bracelet off. "Wonder if he's ok."

"Oh I'm sure he is," Connie rubbed her hand on her shoulder, "his mom might've gotten sick again. Just go and see."

She sighed, "And I was finally in a good mood."

The phone rang again and Julie grabbed it, "Scooter?…oh, yeah hang on a minute." She handed the phone to her roommate, "It's Guy."
