You know how I was relieved the Riley was going to be my roommate rather then Gary? I took it back that night when we went to bed. Rick snores, and not just a little snore, it sounded like someone put a spoon in the garbage disposal. I swear I was this close *holds his hands a few centimeters apart* to stuffing a pillow on his face and holding it there until he stopped struggling. But then I'd get arrested and go to jail and there'd be a trial and I just couldn't fit that into my schedule at the time. So instead I played solitaire for a little, read a couple chapters in Dante's Inferno and eventually decided I needed to take a walk.
The September wind bit at my bare arms as I stepped into the dark outdoors. And I cursed myself for not putting on shoes as my feet sunk into the damp grass. That shows you how annoying Rick's snore is, I went out side in a wife beater, sweats and bare feet. But the campus was so beautiful at night, so peaceful, it was worth braving the chill and month worth of detention that came with breaking curfew. There was a spot by the pond that I always went to when I skunk out and I was heading there right then too.
The moon was casting shadows across the grounds and the stars where reflected like diamonds on the inky black waters of the pond. I was actually about to curl up on my usual spot on a rock by the pond when I heard a voice. It was soft female voice, one I wasn't familiar to me but sounded intoxicating. So I followed the sweet sound to where it came from and there she was, Julie. I crouched behind a nearby bush and listened. She was writing in her diary and talking to herself as she did it I guess. I know I was invading her privacy but I wanted to hear if she was going to mention me and if she did if it was going to be good, that seemed like the best and most reliable way to find out.
"We started at Eden Hall today, it's not really as bad as I expected it would be. Taking into consideration that Portman isn't coming (that bummed out Fulton to no end), Bombay left us, and the new jerk of a coach took Charlie's captain's C. Oh yeah and if that's not bad enough, Banks has been put on the varsity team. They're all jerks, well maybe not all of them. There's this one guy Vanderbilt, everyone calls him Scooter." Now that was what I wanted to hear. "He seems okay, he was pretty nice to Adam at dinner at least that's what Banks told us afterward. He's kind of cute too, hot got these sexy eye lashes and this smile, oh my god. Yes this is me Julie Anastasia Gaffney babbling about a guy. The only problem is he hangs out with two head varsity goons Rick Riley and Biff Cole. They're such losers.
I miss Maine, Mom and Dad and even Mikey. But I'll get use to it here, most of the Ducks are here and I'm in all A level classes. If it wasn't for all the changes I'd really like it. You know me better then anyone else so why am I lying? You know I don't adapt well to change and things as well as well as everyone thinks I do, that I'm not the sweet perfect girl that they all see." By this point my foot had fallen asleep and with my luck when I stood to shake it awake, I lost my balance, fell over and slid down the hill landing at her feet.
"Um hi." I gave her my most innocent looking smile
"How much did you hear?" Her pretty face contorted with worry
"Not much." I pushed myself up from the ground and dusted the dirt from my butt
"How much?"
"Just that I have gorgeous lashes."
At first she looked mortified, the her expression turned to one of fierce anger
"Jerk." And with that she shoved me back down, kicking dirt in my face as she stalked off.
Do you know what I was thinking as she stormed away from me? Gosh she's hot when she's pissed. Can you believe that? I maybe the most insensitive person in the world. I stumbled up the embankment and went back to my room dirty, cold and very happy.
