Chapter 2

Karma POV

A couple of weeks had gone by and sadly but true, the lectures were all as intense as the first one.

It was a Saturday night and while she actually should be studying (she would have an exam in two weeks) she got invited to some party, and a party was just what she needed.

After trying on numerous outfits she decided to go with the first one, as always.

She and Amy had been studying a lot together, becoming not only study buddies but real friends, and exchanged phone numbers.

Karma was now sitting on her bed not sure whether or not to text Amy if she would be there. After another minute off her fingers hovering over her phone she finally decided to text the girl.

[To Amy]: So hey, no don't worry I don't want to go study our asses off ;) But are you at the party tonight?

She reread the text at least ten times before finally pressing the send button. Now hoping she isn't too pushy or anything.

This wasn't like her, she never felt like this. Karma wasn't the type to be nervous about texting someone. After what felt like ages but was actually three minutes she got a reply.

[From Amy]: I already was terrified I had to take out the study books! As good as that sounds I really can't :( Next time smartass

She smiled at the text but at the same time she was a little disappointed about the fact that Amy wouldn't be there.

'What would she be doing?' Karma thought. 'It's a Saturday night after all. Would she be on a date? Omg what if she is? I didn't ask anything about her dating life. Is she even into girls? What if she's straight?'

Karma started to panic a little but was interrupted by her ever so friendly roommate. "Short stuff, are you still coming or have I been waiting for nothing?"

Karma's head snapped up and frowned at the nickname. "I'm not short!" "Yeah, whatever… How about you down this beer and we head to the party."

Victoria handed her a beer and disappeared out of the room. Karma quickly got up and while walking she downed the beer and decided that for tonight she wouldn't worry about anything.

Amy POV

Amy shook up after her phone making an enormous amount of noise.

She must have fallen asleep while reading her book about animal behavior and reached over to her phone.

Her face lit up when she saw Karma's name on the screen and opened the text. She wanted so bad to text back that she would go and party, but she simply couldn't.

As she hit send Amy heard a sound from the other room. Once again there was a smile to her face.

She had to skip partying, but that wasn't too bad knowing she was not alone. "Maybe it's a good idea if I go to bed myself." Amy said to herself as she got up from the cough and headed to the bathroom.

As she looked to herself in the mirror she could she dark circles starting to form under her eyes.

Her mind wandered off to Karma, as it had done a lot the last couple of weeks. They only met about six weeks ago but they already got along pretty well and she couldn't deny that she didn't like the girl.

'I hope she is into people who have a lack of sleep.' Amy thought to herself as she poked the circles under her eyes.

'Oh who am I fooling? She probably isn't even gay, and even if she is…' Another, but this time louder, sound interrupted her thoughts. "What is it sweetie, can't you sleep?"

The weekend had gone by way too fast and now Amy was hurrying to get to her lecture.

Of course when she was in a hurry nothing cooperated and she could only hope Karma saved her a seat.

She got to the lecture just before the doors were closed and smiled at the sight of Karma with next to her a seat reserved.

She quickly sat down next to the beautiful auburn haired girl and gave her a smile to say thank you.

Mister Wilson started his lecture and Amy took out her phone. This caused Karma to glare at her and whisper in her ear: "You know what we said about cell phones, not in class."

Amy sends her a begging look but put it away anyways. "Thank you for saving me a seat by the way" The taller girl said sending a wink Karma's way.

Was she dreaming or did she actually she a little blush there. 'Must be the lack of sleep.' She thought to herself.

"No problem. Why were you late? Did you oversleep or something, because even the most distant rooms are just ten minutes away?" As soon as Amy wanted to explain to Karma she didn't live on campus Mr. Wilson cleared his throat.

"Care to share this interesting conversation with the rest of us ladies?" They both looked up a little taken by surprise that the old man overheard their conversation.

'We weren't talking that loud right?' Amy thought to herself.

Karma saved their asses with a quick comment that it wouldn't happen again and the man continued with his lecture. Both decided they would talk during the break since they didn't want another awkward encounter like this.

When the lecture finally had come to an end Amy and Karma walked to the cafeteria and ordered themselves the strongest coffee that was served.

"So now that we are finally allowed to talk, why were you late again?" Karma looked at Amy while sipping from her still way too hot coffee.

"Well first off, I don't live on campus, it's like a twenty minute walk and my bike broke down this morning so yeah that happened. Second, yeah I overslept." Amy said with a sheepishly grin.

"Had a busy weekend I guess?" Amy could literally thank all the gods that Karma didn't ask any further why she didn't live on campus.

Unfortunately she still hadn't come up with an appropriate reason why she couldn't go to the party without having Karma asking more questions.

She guesses she had been too caught up in making an excuse because Karma was repeating her name.

"Amy, hello earth to Amy, what are you thinking about? You totally zoned out." She didn't want to lie to Karma, she really liked her. Liked her a lot. But she also met the girl just over a month ago so she decided to go with lying.

"Yeah sorry, I am just stressing already. It's just so much work and I need to pass. On your question about my weekend, I was visiting my parents because I still had some things to pick up." She didn't know how she made that up so easily, a part was true. She did see her mother this weekend.

"Oh Amy if you're stressing out so much we could totally have a study session this afternoon. What do you say?" She just hated herself more for lying to this beautiful and way too kind girl.

Of course she wouldn't decline a chance to hang out with Karma. "Sounds great, shall we meet here?"

Karma looked around and wrinkled her nose. "It's way too loud in here and since my room is already taken by my lovely roommate this afternoon we could maybe go to your place?" Amy looked up from her coffee with a bit of a shocked expression.

How is she going to lie herself out of this?
