-1Chapter 3
"So, why Dunder-Mifflin?" Pam asked as we drove off.
"I
don't have a college diploma."
"I see. Are you going to
school anywhere?"
I shook my head. I wasn't too happy about
the decision. If Aaron hadn't decided to move, then I would still
be in school.
"Not much of a talker are you?"
I laughed a
bit and smiled. "I'm sorry. I just don't talk much about my
life. I was hurt a lot as a kid…and I still hurt
sometimes…"
"Relationship troubles?"
I nodded.
"Sometimes I just feel like Aaron and I are growing farther apart.
I don't think this relationship is going anywhere…but I don't
want to say anything."
"I have the same problems with Roy. I
don't get him sometimes."
"You don't think he's cheating
behind your back…do you?"
She laughed. "Roy? Nah. I don't
think he would do anything like that. We've been dating since we
were in high school. Engaged for three years now."
She showed me
her ring and I smiled. "You're lucky you have someone who loves
you."
"You do too Nicole. Just give it time."
I smiled
more when she said that. "Thanks."
"So, are you going to
talk to Jim now?"
"I don't know. I'm still a little shy
around him."
"I think that's his type though."
"But
he's dating right now!"
"You know what?"
"What?"
"He's
having a party over at his house this weekend. Why don't you come?
It'll be fun."
"You know what? Maybe I will go. It'll be
nice for me to get out of the house. I can just tell Aaron a little
white lie."
"Thatta girl!"
"Hey
Pam?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
