As he walked slowly up to the room, he thought about what had been going on with him the past years in college. He opened the door and walked in; a sharp cold wind hit him softly, but put a sting through his body. The room was so dark, all he could see was the red numbers from the answer machine blinking over and over. It read two. For some reason he felt his stomach drop down into his toes, thinking maybe it was, Marissa.
He flipped the light switch and the room became more familiar to him now. He looked over to his right seeing the two bunk beds him and Seth slept on. To his left was a small couch and a small TV, beside that was a stereo. They had both decided to paint their room a dark burnt orange, to remind them of the beautiful Newport Beach they once loved. He walked over to his small desk with a well sized laptop on it. His hand moved slowly to the "play" button on the answer machine.
As the messages played Ryan once again was reminded of his past.
"Message One of Two(it was Kirsten) Hey guys, I was reminding you about Jimmy's..and Haley's wedding..Seth I want you to be dressed decent, and Ryan hopefully I don't have to worry about you. Okay, I will call later. Praying you didn't answer because your studying..(she laughed lightly) We miss you both. Bye..
Ryan smiled to himself hearing Kirsten again. But then he thought about the wedding. He never would have thought that Haley and Jimmy would be engaged, but then again he never thought him and Marissa wouldn't go to the same college. Maybe he would sit this one out and let Seth go. Things have changed between all of them in two years.
"Message Two of TwoWell, I thought you would be the one calling me first..but obviously not..anyways..the other night..well..it was hot..I don't want it to end..not soon anyways..so meet me somewhere or whatever..I will leave you my number for the..umm this is what? The fourth time..anyways..my number is 652-982
Ryan angrily pressed delete as this girl's voice became more annoying as she talked longer. He never called back any of the girls that left him their number. He walked over to his bed and took off his jacket. He threw it on the top bunk, where a bunch of clothes and junk laid. He looked at the dresser in between their beds and it read, 3:20 am. Ryan walked reluctantly to the shower.
As the steaming hot water fell onto his back, it burned deep into him. He didn't take hot showers, but tonight was an exception. He got out slowly, drying off and putting on his boxers and a white tank. He dried his hair with the towel and crawled into the bottom bunk of his bed. As he tried to close his eyes, the door quickly opened and in came Seth and a girl with their lips all of each other. Seth kicked the door close as he led her to his bed.
"Damnit Seth..Can you go to her place or somewhere else?" Ryan turned on the lamp and stared at him sincerely.
Seth let go of her cheeks and kissed her one last time. He didn't even know why he was kissing her, it meant nothing, and he felt nothing.
"Um, Ryan..Shh..She doesn't know." He looked at Ryan in a wide eye.
The girl looked up. "Know what?"
Ryan knew what he and Seth were doing. "Oh, you didn't tell her.."
"I didn't think she would care."
The girl backed off and looked at him weirdly. "What the hell is going on..?"
"Sorry I had to tell you this way..but..uh..I have an STD.."
As Seth finished the girl backed up quickly and left the dorm. Seth walked over to his bed and sat down looking at Ryan.
"Thanks man..you saved me there..I don't even know why I was doing that with her.."
"Seth, we use that line on all of the girls you "accidently" bring back here..sooner or later the whole state of Oklahoma will think you actually do have an STD.."
"Not like it matters.." Seth sighed and laid back on his bed.
"Only here for two more years." Ryan said closing his eyes into the pillow.
"Don't get me wrong..osu has some kick a parties..but its just too far away from home..its like living in a corn field down here.." Seth said not in a sarcastic way.
"I know..I thought it would help me..clear my mind..but it has done the opposite.."
Seth closed his eyes and mumbled as he began to fall asleep. "Tell me about it man.." He yawned and turned over in his bed.
"Uh, Seth?" Ryan said sniffing.
Seth murmered. "Uh huh?"
"Dude, please don't go to sleep without taking a shower, I mean, that party...it was nasty.."
Seth leaned up quickly realizing Ryan was right. "Phew, your right..I'm on it.."
Seth went to the shower and began to think also about Orange County..and what the girls were doing in usc?
Please leave some reviews! I hope your liking it, as much as I love writing it!
