Chapter Three: Dinner for Six

======================

Once Emma and Craig made back to the table where Paige, JT and Spinner were, their drinks had already been brought out and they were waiting for the waitress to come back to take their orders.

"Since you weren't here, we ordered you a Pepsi. Is that okay?" Spinner asked, watching them sit down, Craig letting Emma in first.

Craig nodded and followed Emma into the booth.

Soon, the waitress returned ready to take their dinner orders. Everyone seemed pretty satisfied with their orders and gave the menus back to the waitress.

"Um, can I also have a glass of water, with no ice?" Craig asked after he ordered a burger and fries.

The waitress nodded and hurried away. The place was quite crowded but only because it was one of the better restaurants around, also, because it had a large bar with many big screen TV's for both men and women to come in, drink beer and enjoy sports games.

"So." JT began, "How's the freshman classes?"

"Well," Paige began, who had aced most of her freshman classes and gotten a few B's. "They're pretty normal I guess. I mean they just don't hand you a good grade. You have to earn them. The only class I would say that took up most of my time because of homework is Professor Hyman's literature class. He assigns a lot of papers.

"Oh. Alrighty then." JT said, taking a sip of his iced tea.

"So Emma, how's your dorm? Is your roommate nice? ...Probably is, I had a walking disaster for one last year. He moved out to an apartment with his brother. Thank God too. I was about to kill myself. "

Emma laughed, "Actually, my roommate, Faith, seems really nice. As a matter of fact, JT is already eying her up." She said, giving him a grin.

JT blushed. "Well, I can't help it if she thinks I'm a babe. I mean she bumped into me in the lobby, obviously she did it on purpose." He said in an unsure tone.

"Haha! JT..." Spin started. "It'll start with sending her a rose. Then you'll begin to stalk her every move. Then she'll have to call the police because someone is following her into the co-ed bathrooms." He teased.

"Very funny! I'm not that crazy when it comes to girls." JT paused. "Well, not that crazy."

Everyone laughed and continued on having a good time and catching up. They talked about Paige and Spinner's relationship and they told Emma and JT about last year and how to watch out for upperclassmen and how they could be dangerous at times. They also talked about football season and how after every home game there was a party in the grand ballroom at Heinz Field.

Emma and Craig were having their own little conversation about practically nothing while the other three were watching intently. Everyone was then interrupted by the girl wearing white crop pants and the yellow halter sit down at the booth.

"Hi baby! Sorry I'm late. Awe, how cute, you even remembered to get me water with no ice." The girl said as she climbed all over Craig; Hoping everyone around would notice so they would become jealous. The girl wasn't even that pretty. It seemed her nose was too big and her ears were too small for her face and her smile was crooked. "So what are we having for dinner? Did I miss the waitress?" She asked, hands still all over Craig.

Paige and Spinner rolled their eyes. "Now you see what we've had to put up with." Spinner whispered to JT. He nodded and gave them an 'I know what you mean now' look.

"Ahhh..." Craig said, beginning to get a bit nervous; but keeping a smile on his face the entire time, as if Alexia would reprimand him for scowling. "Alexia, I know you know Spinner and Paige, but this is JT and Emma. They're going to be freshman here in the fall. And JT, Emma, this is Alexia; my girlfriend.

I know. This was a VERY short chapter. My apologies. Hopefully the next one will be longer. As before, constructive criticism is welcome and so are reviews. Thanks!
