Melanie ran all the way to her dorm, swung open the door and flopped
herself on her bed. Angela was in the room but Melanie didn't notice.
Melanie started to cry.
Angela was unsure about what to do, so she put down her book and sat on the edge of Melanie's bed. Melanie was surprised that someone was there, and she jerked up suddenly.
"Angela, you scared me." "Honey, what's wrong?" Angela said, concerned for her friend.
"Angela, we kissed. I didn't mean to, but it happened, and now I feel awful."
"Well, who exactly did you kiss?" Angela asked. "Cory." Melanie said in a low voice.
"CORY?!?" Angela screamed. Melanie put her hand over Angela's mouth before she could say anything else.
"Angela! Don't go blurting it out everywhere, I already feel bad enough." "Aw, I'm sorry, you feel bad because you went behind Shawn's back and kissed his best friend?"
"Well, not only that," Melanie had to stop to cry for a second. "Not only that, but I enjoyed it. It was the most wonderful thing I had ever experienced."
Angela was confused but before anything else happened a knock at the door was heard. In walked Topanga.
"Oh My God." Melanie said before running out of the dorm.
"What was that all about?" Topanga asked as she put her purse down on her bed.
"I dunno, maybe she just remembered something and had to go?" "Yeah, I guess."
"Besides, I need to talk to you Topanga." Angela said. Topanga rolled her eyes and sighed heavily as she sat on her bed.
"I'm serious Topanga. How much longer are you going to do this to Cory? You are hurting everyone in the process of doing this. Cory because you are CHEATING on him, yourself because you aren't truly honest, even Jack, who cant have an open relationship with you."
"I know I know. We have gone over this before, and I will answer the same. This just isn't the right time for Cory to find out. I just need some more time before i can tell him. You understand don't you? I have to tell him whenever it is right, and it would be totally heartbreaking for him if ANYONE ELSE told him."
"Topanga, I am your friend. You know I wouldn't tell Cory, but he already suspects something and its just going to be a matter of time before he finds out who.
"He needs to know as soon as possible before anything goes wrong. Plus, this may be a good time for him to hear it anyway."
"What do you mean Angela. C'mon, I know when you have a secret, spill." Topanga said.
"No, I CAN keep a secret. I will tell you again, tell Cory as soon as possible. This may be the best time to tell him anyway."
Topanga looked long and hard at Angela and then sighed heavily and rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'll tell him tomorrow. Happy?" "Very."

Cory knew that he couldn't face his best friend at the moment, so he asked Eric if he could spend the night at his apartment. "Sure." Eric replied.
It was a quiet night with the two Matthews brothers in the apartment. Eric and Jack used to share the apartment, but then Jack found a better offer and decided to live there instead of with Eric.
Eric and Cory were watching Dateline TV when the phone rang.
"Hey Cory, can you answer that? I don't wanna get up." Eric said to Cory.
"Like I want to get up? Ugh. Hello?" Cory put the white cordless phone to his ear. "Yeah, sure, hang on a sec." Cory covered the receiver with his hand. "Eric, it's for you. The voice sounds really familiar, but I can't quite place it."
Cory walked over to Eric and handed the phone to him. "Hello?" Eric said. He was silent for a moment and then his face lit up. "Oh my gosh, Rachel!"
"I knew I recognized that voice!" Cory yelled. Eric swung his arm in the air, motioning for Cory to go away. Cory didn't move, so Eric walked up the stairs into his room and slammed the door shut.
"Hmm." Cory said before he laughed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Rachel, it's been forever! Where are you now? What's up?" Eric was pacing in his room. He was very excited to hear from Rachel. He still loved her.
"Oh, nothing here. I'm still in New York, well, that's kind of what I wanted to call about. New York has been great and all, but this isn't the town for me. I have decided to come back to Pennbrook. Only problem is I don't have a room."
"Say no more. Your problem is solved. Jack moved out of the apartment months ago and I am living here by myself. You can have your old room back." Eric said, now really excited.
"Really? You mean it? That would be great!" Rachel said.
"So, catch me up on everything. What has been happening there while I was gone?!?"
Rachel and Eric talked for four hours straight. It was late when Eric hung up the phone and he knew that Cory had already gone to bed. Eric would have, but he couldn't possibly sleep at a time like this, so he grabbed his jacket off the rack and left the dorm.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Melanie didn't know where to go. She certainly couldn't face Topanga or Shawn at a time like this. She couldn't go back to her dorm, so she went to the only other place that she knew. She went to the Student Center. There she spent the night. She read some of the books there, got some coffee for herself (because no one else was there), and sat on the couch, silently crying.
At about four in the morning Melanie heard a door open and shut. She found that the person that walked in may be the one person she could talk to, but she didn't know him very well.
"Hey Melanie." "Hi Eric." Melanie replied back.
