Angela helped Melanie unpack while Topanga said she had another class to
get to. Cory said that he had to meet his best friend Shawn, but maybe all
of them could do something for dinner. Melanie liked that idea, and then
hated herself for thinking that. She promised herself she wouldn't get
close with anyone.
Too late.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey Shawn!" Cory said. A good-looking guy turned around in his seat in the Pennbrook Coffee House. Shawn had a cup of coffee in his hand and on the table sat a newspaper, The Daily Post to be exact.
"Hey Cor, what's new?" Shawn asked. He turned back in his seat when his friend sat across the table. "Have you met the new girl, Melanie Bryant? Of course not, she just got here, oh Shawn, you've got to meet her, she's great!" "Cory, remember you're engaged." "Yeah, duh, but, I dunno, you just have to meet her."
"Well, when can I?" Shawn asked with a smirk. "I mentioned something about all of us eating dinner together, you can meet her there. Shawn, she moved in with Topanga and Angela. I think she would be perfect for you." Cory lied, "Yeah, with you and Angela not seeing anyone, well, like I said before you have to meet her."
Shawn was suspicious but didn't say anything.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Unpacking all of her stuff, Melanie and Angela got to talk. "So Mel, where did you come from? I mean before Pennbrook." Angela questioned. "Well, I used to live with my dad, but then things, well, things changed and so I got 'shipped off' to college, here." Melanie said.
Angela knew there was more behind the story but decided not to push Melanie, Angela knew that once Melanie was settled in, she would open up more. Too bad Topanga wasn't helping very much.
Angela knew what Topanga was doing, and even though Angela didn't agree with what she was doing, she swore to Topanga that she would keep it a secret.
"So how long have you and everyone else been friends? Give me all the info." Melanie said giggling. "Okay, well we all went to high school together, but Shawn, Topanga, and Cory all went to the same elementary school together and those three are pretty close. You don't know Shawn, but Cory was bound to tell you right?" Melanie nodded.
"Topanga and Cory, well you know they are engaged. Ever since the age of three they knew they would be together." Angela trailed off. She swore to Topanga that she would keep her secret. "And then Shawn and I used to date but now we are just friends." Angela smiled.
"I feel so bad, I am intruding on all of your lives, I don't want you to just be my friend because I'm here." Melanie said sadly. Angela came over to Melanie and gave her a hug. "Of course not, trust me, if I didn't like you, I would tell you." The girls laughed.
Maybe, Melanie thought, maybe I DO belong here. Maybe.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Topanga walked down the dorm hallways. She found the room she wanted and she looked both ways. Good, she thought, the coast was clear. She knocked on the door. She could just make out a faint "come in." She looked both ways again and entered.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Angela and Melanie decided they would do lunch together and Angela knew a great Chinese restaurant to go to. They had a wonderful time, each one sharing stories and personal secrets. Well, while Melanie WAS telling Angela secrets, she wasn't telling her everything, and it hurt, so, soo bad.
"And then Cory twisted his ankle and had to stay in the lodge. There he met Lauren and that was a whole big mess." Angela said. "How so?" Melanie questioned. "Well, he stayed up all night with her and she kissed him. He didn't want to hurt Topanga, so he decided never to see Lauren again. She wrote him a letter, about what happened and Topanga found it. Long story short, he had to decide between Lauren and Topanga, and guess who he chose?" Angela said.
"That is so sweet, I guess Cory and Topanga were really meant to be together, they have been through so much, and they are STILL together. It's amazing. I used to have a boyfriend, his name was Zack. He was sweet and all, really a nice guy, but things just got strange for a while so we cut the relationship off."
"I know exactly how you feel, that how Shawn and I broke up. Oh my gosh, look at the time, we better get going, we will be late for our next class!" Angela and Melanie had looked over each other's schedules and had found that they had a lot of classes together. Angela said that all of them; Cory, Shawn, Topanga and her had all of their classes together for the most part.
Next class was Psychology. Angela said it was with Mr. Feeny. He was their old old teacher, from way back, so they were all good friends, for the most part anyway.
Again, Melanie felt that she was intruding in their lives, but at the same time, was so glad to finally have found friends.
Too late.
