Permanent State Of A Broken Soul
Tori slung her book bag over her shoulder and threw it on the ground in front of her locker as she opened it. She then grabbed what she needed for her next class and headed with Hunter, to his locker.
"When you go to University, are you living at home?" Tori asked.
"I'm going to try, my dad doesn't really want me to go here. I think I'll end up renting a dorm or apartment or something, just until I can buy my own house or something." Hunter explained.
"Oh, what about a basement apartment?" Tori asked.
"Yeah, I guess, depending on the rent."
"I can charge you with laundry and stuff." Tori smiled.
"You're just going to give me your basement?" He asked surprise in his voice.
"Yeah, Hailey was going to be living there but she's going off to Michigan and doesn't need it plus I would rather not live by myself anymore." Tori smiled.
"If it means that much to youâthen why not?" Hunter asked, smiling back at her.
"But I just have one question."
"Alright, shoot."
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Tori asked in a kind of mocking tone.
She smiled, no, she grinned at her not so funny joke. He looked at her for a minute then a smile spread across his face and he pulled her in for a hug. She hugged back and only when Dustin walked up was the hug broken.
"Did I miss something?" He asked.
"Yeah, a lot." Tori joked as she stood there with Hunter's arm around her shoulders.
"Does this mean I have to walk home today?" Dustin asked.
"No. I think we should all go out, asâfriends." Tori suggested.
"Don't you have to work?" Hunter asked.
"Rhonda gave me my first ever night off." Tori smiled.
"First ever?" Dustin asked.
"Not my first but one of the few, stop complicating things."
"Who's complicating things?" Shane asked as she overheard them before he turned the corner.
"Forget it. My life was hard enough working like strait days and now my friends are a bunch of idiotic boys, where's Hailey when you need her?" Tori stated sarcastically.
"You mean that girl you hang out with who is like so hot?" Shane asked.
"Sure."
"Can we ask her to come too?" Shane asked, almost pleading.
