"Jeez Portman why are you in such a hurry?" Ken appeared in front of me in the hallway as I sprinted towards my dorm room.
"Looking for Fulton, Connie broke Guy's nose!" I yelled as I passed him.
"She WHAT?" Ken called after me but it was too late, I'd already turned the corner.
I reached the door to our room and barged in without even thinking what Fulton could possibly be doing in there.
"Dude, Charlie just told me the funniest thing EVER" I breathed out.
I stopped when I realised that he had company.
"Sorry" I mumbled and averted my eyes as I waited for Fulton and his cheerleader to straighten themselves out.
"Port, you can't knock?" Fulton asked sounding pissed off.
"I said I was sorry!" I protested wondering why on earth the cheerleader that Fulton was just with was now grinning at me.
"I thought you were with Julie?" Fulton asked coyly.
I am going to kill him one of these days.
"I was" I replied.
"Julie? As in Julie Gaffney?" the cheerleader made Julie's name sound like it was poisonous.
"Yeah Julie Gaffney, so?" I replied defensively.
"Are you like dating her or something?" she asked looking horrified.
"Like, no" I replied wondering what her problem with Jules was.
"Oh thank God!" the girl sighed.
"Uh-huh" I replied looking confused.
"SO dude, what was this funny thing Charlie told you" Fulton was trying to get me out of the room so he could get back to whatever it was he was doing before I barged in.
"Connie broke Guy's nose!" I laughed and waited for Fulton's reaction.
5….4….3….2….1….
"Are you serious!" Fulton said before bursting into hysterics.
"Deadly, Charlie came storming to Julie's room looking for Connie but she wasn't there and when Jules asked what was wrong, he said Connie had broken Guy's nose and he wasn't happy about it" I laughed.
"Dude that's hilarious!" Fulton laughed.
"That is so barbaric, girls aren't supposed to hit guys" Fulton's 'date' piped up.
"Says who?" I replied suddenly feeling like defending my teammates.
"Says everyone, no wonder people call Connie and Julie lesbians behind their backs" she replied.
"We wish" I replied wondering what it would be like to see some girl-on-girl action in the locker room.
"What was that?" the girl broke me free of my little daydream.
"Nothing" I quickly covered.
"Right, well I have to go. Fulton I'll see you tomorrow" she said pausing to give Fulton another taste of what she had eaten that day.
I looked away before she dislocated her jaw and swallowed him whole.
"Bye Portman" she said before leaving the room.
I finally turned back around to see Fulton with a lot of lip gloss around his mouth and a stupid grin on his face.
"Who or what was that?" I asked glancing at the door.
"Alexa, she's Britney's HOT best friend" Fulton grinned like he'd just single-handedly won the Stanley Cup.
"Oh I get it now, this is why you're so eager for me to get with Britney" I replied feeling a little used.
"Oh come on dude, you can't tell me they're not the hottest chicks in the school" Fulton argued.
He had a point, Britney and Alexa were pretty hot.
But
"Yeah but I didn't like what she said about Connie and Julie" I replied.
"Bullshit, I could tell you were daydreaming about locker room action" Fulton called me out.
Damn it.
"Whatever dude, I'm going to bed" I ended the conversation and climbed into my bed.
JULIE'S POV
As disappointed as I was when Portman just up and left me I was more eager for Connie to get back.
So I packed up Dean's things and left them by my bag so I'd remember to give them back to him in the morning and waited for Connie to return.
When I heard voices at the door I strained to hear.
"So" I heard Averman say. Aw, he sounded so nervous
I couldn't hear Connie's reply it was so faint.
"We should do something like that again" Averman spoke again.
"Yeah I'd like that" Connie replied sounding really excited about going out with him again.
"Well goodnight" Averman's voice sounded strained like he was forcing the words out.
"Night" Connie replied and I heard her hand on the door handle.
But she didn't open the door straight away. There was nothing but silence for a few seconds until I heard Averman's distinct voice saying "Wow" followed by Connie giggling.
The door swung open and in walked Connie looking smug and happy.
"Charlie was looking for you" I pounced on her.
"Why?" she replied coyly and I knew she knew what was up.
"Gee I dunno, could it be something to do with the broken nose you gave Guy" I replied sarcastically.
"I broke his nose?" she went wide eyed and I knew she was acting.
"I dunno but Portman thought it was funny" I couldn't help but smile when I said his name. I was in deep.
"I bet he did" she replied grinning at me. She was the only one who knew my about secret crush on Portman.
"So why'd you do it?" I asked the million dollar question.
"He asked for it" she replied quickly.
Yeah right, there's something she's not telling me
"So he came up to you and said "Connie can you please break my nose?" sorry Cons but I don't think that excuse will work" I replied sounding a little like Charlie. Whoah that's kinda scary when you think about it
"Okay, he called me creepy. Well actually Karen called me creepy and got Guy to, get this Jules, ask me to stop staring at them. What nerve she has anyway I hit him, he probably cried. I'm over it now" she explained. Guy should have known better.
"Hmmm, and where have you been all this time?" I raised an eyebrow. I was fishing for information and she knew it.
"Out" she replied shortly, but the dopey grin on her face suggested otherwise.
"With who? Averman?" I asked.
Connie nodded.
"What did you guys do?" I pressed on. I still couldn't really picture the two of them dating.
She didn't respond. She looked to be deep in thought.
"Connie?" I snapped my flingers in front of my face trying to get her attention.
"What?" she replied still smiling like an idiot.
"You were spacing, I asked what did you guys do?" I repeated myself trying to get to the bottom of things.
"He took me to see The Notebook" she replied dreamily.
"And he watched the whole thing with you?" I asked in awe. No guy I knew would do that.
"Yep" she looked proud
"And he didn't try to make out with you?" I asked in disbelief.
"Nope, he sat there and watched the entire movie with me. You can quiz him tomorrow on it if you're still not certain" she replied.
"Wow, so are you guys really going out or are you just trying to get Amber away from him" I asked the question everyone was dying to know the answer to.
She looked like she was having an internal debate.
"I don't know. At first we were but then" Connie stopped mid-sentence.
"What? Tell me!" I sat up so fast I almost got a head spin.
"Well we kissed" Connie blushed.
"Is he a good kisser?" I don't know why I asked that but I suppose I was curious.
"It wasn't like a full on French kiss or anything, just one of those nice soft kisses" Connie answered looking all dreamy.
"Just nice huh?" I couldn't help but tease her just a little bit.
"Okay it was awesome. I bet you'd want Dean to kiss you like that" she teased me right back.
"Dean can kiss me any way he wants to" I laughed wishing it were true.
"Oh really? So I should mention to him at breakfast that you'd like him to kiss you…" Connie started but I wouldn't let her finish.
"DON'T YOU DARE!" I screamed throwing one of my pillows at her.
She threw it back at me and started laughing.
"I think he likes you" she told me when she'd calmed down.
"Really?" I sat up again and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"He'd be stupid not to" she informed me.
I thought for a moment and decided it wasn't possible.
"I don't think I'm his type" I replied.
"So are you and Averman like, really together now?" I asked changing the subject.
"Nice subject change Jules" she grinned at me.
There's not getting past her now is there.
"Just answer the question"
"I don't know. I guess I'll have to talk to him tomorrow" she said.
"You know I never really thought that you and Averman would get together" I commented not really meaning anything by it.
"What's that supposed to mean?" she snapped and I was a little taken aback.
"Nothing just that last week you were still so into Guy. Its funny how things change isn't it?" I explained and she seemed to calm down a little.
"Yeah I know" she replied.
"Lights out girls" the dorm supervisor interrupted us with a knock on our door.
"Okay" I called back.
"Talk tomorrow?" I asked Connie. I was eager to finish this conversation with her at some stage.
"Yeah for sure" she replied and I sensed she was glad to have someone on her side.
"Night Cons"
"Night Jules"
