"Just Friends"
Jessica had been home for almost two hours when she finally heard her sister coming up the hall talking and laughing...Then she heard another voice, a male voice.
"Well, here we are," He said.
If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that that guy sounds like Bruce Patman! Jessica thought in disbelief.
"Wow, I didn't realize how late it was, midnight already!" Elizabeth exclaimed looking at her watch.
"Yeah, time flies when your having fun!"
"It sure does. Well...give me a call sometimes Bruce," Elizabeth said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll see you later."
"You bet!" Bruce flashed her a grin before he turned and walked a few steps down the hall; Elizabeth hesitated before saying, "Hey Bruce?"
"Yeah?" He asked, turning back around
"Do you want to do something tomorrow night?" She had forgotten about her date with Tom.
"Sure!" He smiled, "We could have dinner and play mini- golf, or see a movie, or something."
"That would be fun. What time?" "How about I'll pick you up at five o'clock?"
"That sounds good, I'll be ready."
"You'd better be," Bruce teased with a laugh.
"See you tomorrow, Bruce," she cooed.
"Bye Liz," He flashed her another smile, turned, and walked down the hall.
Liz stepped inside of the dorm and leaned against the door with a happy sigh, she didn't know why she was so happy, but she was. She didn't even notice Jessica, leaning against the frame of the kitchen door, poised with a glass of water. "See you tomorrow, Bruce," Jessica mimicked, imitating Elizabeth perfectly.
Elizabeth glared at her sister, who suppressed her laughter, hiding her smile behind the glass of water that was now raised to her mouth. She ran to the living room and bust out laughing, she fell on the couch, still laughing hysterically. Elizabeth stood in the doorway, she wasn't laughing.
"I'm sorry Liz, but this is too funny!" Jessica explained between laughs.
"I fail to see what."
Jessica stopped laughing for a minute, but started again when she saw the look on her sister's face. "You and Bruce Patman!!!" She screamed through her laughing.
"Why is that so funny? We're just friends."
"Oh, Liz come on," Jessica said, calming down, "You don't spend five hours with some guy like Bruce when you are, ahem, 'just friends'. Besides you have a date tomorrow, I heard you guys talking." Jessica said with a smirk.
"It isn't a date! Besides where do you come off spying on me and listening in on my conversations?"
"I didn't have to spy, the door was open," she said, matter-of-factly
"Well, that's no excuse. Anyways, it's not a date, you can even come with us if you want," Elizabeth said, even though she was thinking, Please, please let her have other plans, please!
"That sounds very amusing, I'd hate to miss it but I have a date tomorrow. Besides, I wouldn't go anyway, I've learned not to waste anymore time on that jerk, and I would think that you would have too." Jessica raised her eyebrows skeptically.
"Jessica, he's not a jerk anymore! He's changed!"
"Give me a break, Liz. I know some people change, but these 'some people' do not include Bruce Patman."
"Can't you try to be a little more open-minded?"
"I am, I just don't know about this."
"Well, you don't have to be friends with him, but I'm going to give him a second chance."
"More like a third or fourth chance," Jessica muttered under her breath.
"What?"
"Nothing, I'm going to bed see you in the morning. Oh, and Tom called while you were out, he wants to know what movie you want to see tomorrow," Jessica smirked and stifled another laugh.
"Omigosh! I completely forgot about Tom! What am I going to tell him?" Elizabeth panicked.
"That you have a date with Bruce of course, oh, I mean not a date, just a friendly get together. I'm sure that Tom will understand you hanging out with Bruce, since you two are 'just friends'," Jessica gave Elizabeth a sweet, innocent smile.
"You know, you could be a little more helpful!" Elizabeth snapped.
"Hey, it's not my fault that you are going out with another guy behind your boyfriend's back."
Elizabeth was tired of arguing with Jessica, just groaned and buried her head in her hands.
