I softly knocked on Ra Ra's door, and there was no answer, silence. I decided to knock again, a little louder, but still no answer. Maybe she didn't hear me.

"Ra Ra are you there? Are you ok?" I asked. "For gods sake, I'm here stop yelling and go away! Don't you stupid people from Canada know when people just want to be left alone!" She yelled.

"Well, sorry! You seemed angry so I decided to see if you were ok! But of course you can't just let anyone help you miss perfect!" I screamed, then slammed her door shut and left our dorm.

I walked through the quad pondering about everything that had just happened so quickly. Why was Ra Ra so mean, couldn't she just tell me what's wrong, and why did she have to offend where I came from? Is this the true Ra Ra with out the wig, is this who she really was? I just didn't get it.

"Waaaa!! Ouch!" I yelped, I had run into Cecilia. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry Cecilia I didn't see you there!"

"It's ok." She smiled sweetly and started to walk away.

"Wait Cecilia! Where were you this morning?" I asked.

"Oh, I woke up early to take a run." She said. "Ok are you going back to the dorm?" I quickly asked.

"Yea why?"

"Because Ra Ra flipped out and is really mad. She seemed mad so I decided to check on her and make sure she was ok, and she was really mean and told me to leave her alone." I informed her.

"That's weird, well thanks for the advice. Bye Casey!" She said then walked away. I then realized a severe pain in my stomach, oh right I never had breakfast. What to eat? Ohh chocolate pancakes sounds good. Where can I get such delicious food? Omg I just remembered there is a Grinder next the Albertsons like I mile away! Perfect! I went to the main street passing through campus and tried to hail a taxi.

I was there for about 5 minutes until some guy came up next to me and said,

"Need some help?"

"Oh yea, I've been here for like 5 minutes, none of them will stop." I told him.

"I think I have away of helping you." He said, trying to impress me.

"Really?" I said a little ruder than planned.

"Yes, one of my friends works at a cab company," He took out his cell phone and dialed a number, I happened to steal it right from his phone I wrote it down on my hand for future use.

" Hey Jared! I have a friend who need some help, we need a taxi, she's been standing her for at least 10 minutes… ok great." He hung up the phone and told me that it would be a few minutes.

"Sorry, I didn't get your name." He said.

"Oh, sorry I'm Casey Glendel." I mumbled blushing a little.

"Brenden Carsno, so where are you headed?" I didn't know what I should say, should I tell him that I'm going alone to a pancake house, to stuff my face? Or is that just pathetic? I decided to say I was going to lunch with a good friend, no a really good friend.

"Oh, I'm going to the Grinder on 3rd street." Dang-it! Curse my geekyness.

"Would you mind if I tag along?" He asked charmingly.

"No, not at all!" I said trying to keep from screaming.

"Great, they have the best potato pancakes, you should try them" He said with an adorable smile. I was amazed; my favorite food EVER was potato pancakes. I once ate 13 of them at a Bar Mitzvah for my mom's boss's kid.

"Oh mi gosh, potato pancakes are my absolute favorite food, I like them crisp on the outside and mushy on the inside!"

This was just the first coincidence Brenden and me had, so much more came after, so we started to date, and talk on the phone and text…a lot. We eventually created a schedule; in the morning, I'd text him, and then tell each other the plan for the day and any possible time we could get together. Later in the day, when we were done with all out errands and classes (He goes to North Malone, the sister school) We called and talked, then usually, we had lunch at Angel Café or a new yummy California food, who knew dead fish tasted so good? Then we'd both get back to our dorms, and call each other while we worked on essays and other homework. Sometimes we'd go see a movie, or eat dinner together, but some nights we just ate at our dorms and called each other after. Then right before we went to bed, we call and talk about anything we wanted to. I felt so open to him, like I could tell him the greatest secret in the world, and he'd keep it.

Things with Ra Ra got a lot better, she had been upset because her grandma died, and she couldn't get out of school to go to her funeral. (Due to evil mid-terms) But she talked to the Dean (repeatedly bugged him) and he finally let her go. I also found a little romance between Cecilia and Jeremy, they both stayed in the dorm together when me and Ra Ra went to hang out somewhere off campus, they shared a Sunday with each other, but that doesn't count because it was an ice cream eating contest, and the Sunday was as big as a bowling ball. They just seem to click well, but to me Ra Ra seems so lonely, she always talks about her old boyfriends that were jerks, but never anyone new.
