Chapter Two

"That was it?" Diego asked Dillon. They met up at Kelly's for lunch after Dillon's Psychology class.

Dillon sipped on his coke. "What the hell would I say Diego?"

"I don't know. You could have asked her what other classes she was taking…or something! Dillon, this girl you've liked since high school finally came and sat next to you and all you say is your name! What's wrong with you?"

"She turned away after that!" Dillon ran his hand through his hair. He was so frustrated he could barely think straight. Diego just shook his head at him. He took a bit of his sandwich and continued to shake his head.

"Stop! Would you? I know I made a total ass out of myself and she's probably never gonna talk to me again." Dillon said upset.

"She probably won't." Diego said finishing off his sandwich. He picked up a napkin and wiped his hands. "I gotta go." He said standing up. "I have class and then I have to get ready for a date." He grinned.

"A date? Whose the girl this time?" Dillon asked rolling his eyes.

"Her name is Lauren and she's hot. Do me a favor, don't come back to the room tonight." Diego said putting his leather jacket on.

"Why? Where am I gonna go? Diego, school just started and you're already kicking me out of the dorm?" Dillon whined.

"Listen man, this girl is like whoa and I need the room tonight and I can't have you there! Just come on, please." Diego said sitting back down. Dillon rolled his eyes again.

"Fine." He muttered.

"Thank you!" Diego said happily. He got up and practically ran out of Kelly's.

Ryan kissed Georgie' neck softly and put his hands up her shirt.

"Ryan, I can't." Georgie said. "I really have to go."

He kissed her on the lips, slipping his tongue. He pulled away and whispered, "We'll be quick."

"I really can't. I promise when I get back okay?" Georgie said moving his hands off of her. She got up off her bed and pulled her shirt down. "You know I hate it when you do this." She said quietly.

"And I hate it when you refuse." He said rudely. He got up off her bed and turned away from her.

"Look, I promised you, we could after I come back." She said moving behind him.

"I don't want to when you come back Georgie. I want to now." He said still not facing her. Georgie closed her eyes and sighed. She looked at her watch and knew she was already running late. Her best friend Brooke Lynn would understand…right?

"Fine." Georgie muttered. She put her hands on his shoulders and turned him around. "I'll go later." She said forcing a smile. Ryan finally looked her in the eye. He put his hands on her face and leaned in to kiss her.

---

Georgie barged into Kelly's praying that Brooke was still there. She was over an hour late and she new her friend would be mad. She walked past him and to the counter where Brooke was sitting. She plopped down next to her.

"Don't even say anything Georgie cuz I don't wanna hear it." Brooke said without even looking at her.

"Brooke, I'm so sorry. I got caught up and I meant to call but…I'm sorry." Georgie said wrapping her arm around her friends shoulder. She rested her head against her.

"Where were you?" Brooke asked upset.

"I was with Ryan and-"

"Never mind." Brook said cutting her off. "You're always with Ryan."

"Brooke, I'm sorry. I really didn't want to be late but he insisted on me staying and I gave in.' Georgie said moving her arm from Brooke's shoulder.

"Georgie you always give in. The guy freakin controls you."

"He doesn't control me Brooke. I wanted to stay with him. I mean I wanted to come see you but I didn't want him to be angry with me. Look, can you please just forgive me?"

"I forgive you Georgie but come on. Do something for yourself for once. Stop doing what he tells you too."

"He didn't tell me to come see my best friend!"

"Okay whatever." Brooke said drinking her coffee.

"Hey listen, are you going to Tom's party tonight?"

"Georgie, do I ever go to parties?"

"Well Ryan wants us to go and I was hoping that you could come too…"

"Georgie, I hate those stupid college parties. I'm not going." Brooke said facing her.

Georgie sighed. "All right." She said rubbing the side of her face.

--

Georgie put her earrings on as she stood in front of the small mirror that hung on her door. She ran a hand through her hair fixing it. She didn't feel like going to the party but since Ryan wanted her too, she obliged.

Ryan knocked on the door, "Hey it's me."

Georgie looked at herself one more time and opened the door. "Hey." She said hugging him.

"Hey, you look great." He said to her.

"Thank you." She said happily. She decided to wear a spaghetti strapped green dress that flowed just below her knees.

"You have a sweater or something that you could put over that? Wouldn't want you to get cold." He smirked.

"Ryan, it's like seventy degrees outside. And besides, the fraternity is like 5 minutes away. We won't even be outside long."

"But still." He said rubbing her shoulders. "I don't want anyone else staring at my beautiful girlfriend."

Georgie gave him a confused look. "Ryan, no one's going to –"

"Could you please-for me?" Ryan said giving her a sympathetic look.

"Okay." She said turning around and going back inside her dorm. She opened her closet door and pulled out a black cardigan and put it on. She grabbed her purse from the bed and left the dorm. She put her arm in Ryan's and asked, "Better?"

"Much." He said smiling at her. "Let's go."

Dillon poured himself a glass of punch. He had nothing better to do then to come to this guy "Tom's" party.

"Dillon, right?" A voice said from behind.

Dillon turned around to see Georgie standing behind him.

"Yeah." He said smiling at her. "We met this morning, right? Psychology?"

"Yeah we did. It's an interesting class." Georgie said moving over to stand next to him. She poured herself a glass of punch also.

"Yeah it's a good class. I just wish the professor was better. He has this weird accent and you barely understand what he's saying." Dillon said.

Georgie laughed. "Well I had no choice but to take this class and I registered late, so it was the only one open.

"You had to take this class?" Dillon asked her.

"Well my major is Child Psychology and this is one of the classes I have to take giving it is Psychology."

Dillon laughed. "Right. Well that's a nice major. Good luck with that." Dillon said taking a sip of his punch. He couldn't believe that he was actually talking to her.

"What about you? What's your major?" She asked him.

"Georgie." Ryan said firmly from behind her cutting off their conversation. Georgie turned around to see her boyfriend standing there.

"Hey Ryan." She said moving to let Ryan stand next to her.

"Who's this?" Ryan asked putting his arm around Georgie protectively.

"This is Dillon. We met this morning in my Psychology class." She said to him.

"Nice to meet you Dillon." Ryan said to him moving his hand forward to shake his hand. Dillon shook his hand and simply nodded. "You wanna go baby?"

"Already? You're the one who wanted to come…"

"Yeah but it's getting kinda boring. I'd rather just back to our room." Ryan said glaring at Dillon. Dillon stared back at him wondering what his problem was.

"Well okay. Let me just get my purse." Georgie said looking at Ryan confused. She left his side to go get her purse.

"It was nice meeting you Dillon." Ryan said to him coldly.

"You too." Dillon said. Ryan walked away following Georgie out the door.
