Chapter Two

A few months later

'Cuz they're still in you too low
All the voices you don't know
And they're still in you too low
All the choices that you chose

"Dude David, some blonde chick with that valley girl look going on is here for you." My room mate announced poking his head in my room.

'Must be Callista' my thoughts announced. As soon as I started here at USC Callista decided that she would chase. The only problem was she was so not my type. Callista wanted to be an actress. She fit the typical cali girl bombshell actress persona so well. Her only problem was she was most likely to star in porn than box office hits. My problem was I couldn't seem to make her understand that I wasn't interested.

So it was a desperate attempt to make her leave when I walked into the common room and said "Leave now, I have no interest in you." Unfortunately for me, it wasn't Callista.

"Wow, I didn't realize you hated me." She mornfully whispered as she turned to walk out the door.

"Wait!" I exclaimed when the shock wore off at seeing her again. "I thought you were someone else. I'm sorry, I just didn't expect to see you."

"David it's ok." She giggled obviously relieved that it wasn't her that had me so upset. "So who has got your panties in a twist?"

"Someone that you don't even need to know about." We moved to the couch and sat there for a few hours catching up on what had happened in the few months we had spent apart. She told me how Miranda had given her my address and asked her to meet her here later cause she had a date with Landon, my roommate. She was telling me about UCLA and how horrible an experiance pledgeing was so far, but she was truely loving it. We started talking about times in jr. high and reliving past memories when our conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door. I looked through the spy hole and saw the object of my loathing. Callista decided to drop by today after all.

"Liz, I know it's asking alot, but could you please act like my girlfriend?" I whispered moving over to her side on the couch

"Hmm, I don't know if I fit the part I mean we never dated before." She joked.

"Look you asked me who had my panties in a twist, now you know. Please make her disappear from my life forever!" I begged.

"Is it really that bad? Well prepare to be amazed." Liz smirked as she moved to the door and prepared to put her own act on.

"Ugh, hello." She grumbled at the sight of Callista.

"Uhm, hi I think I have the wrong place." Callista fumbled. "It's just that my friend Josey who talks to Landons cousin said that Davy lived here with him. I thought I'd see how he was doing since I missed him between classes earlier. Between you and me I think hes so hot. And he doesn't know it yet, but soon he's going to be all mine."

"Hmm, I don't think so." Liz ferociously snapped. "You see, David and I are together, and yes I agree he is hot, but we are engaged. See we have been together since high school and he likes someone who has half a brain and I just don't think you fit the bill sweetie. Sorry, bye."

"Wait a minute!" Callista announced pushing her way into the common room. "If you and Davy are engaged, where is your ring and how come you are just now showing up and I haven't heard anything about you?"

"The ring is here on my finger. See David wanted to get me something different so he got a pink sapphire instead of a diamond, and if you aren't sure it's the real deal see this little inscription here. It says adore cause thats how he feels about me."

I was shocked not only did she have the ring, but she was wearing it. More so than that, Liz then proceeded to walk over to me and kissed just like that night when we kissed when we started dating. All those feelings that I was trying not to feel came flooding in and I just couldn't deal so I quickly ended the kiss and bid a dumb struck Callista farewell. After shutting the door behind her I turned to face Liz all the awkwardness we should have been feeling flooded into the room.

"So, um your wearing it huh." I said to the floor.

"Yea, look David. I made a mistake. I should have never let you go. Ever since that night I haven't been able to get you out of my mind. Was this ring supposed to be what I think it was?" She asked trying to catch my eyes from across the room.

"Yes, but I don't want to go down that road again unless you really want it. I love you too much to let this go down that way." I answered closing the space between us.

"David, I can't let you go." She replied kissing me passionately.

A few hours later an annoying banging noise woke me from a peaceful sleep.

"Gordo! You in there?" A female spoke from the other side of the door.

It took a few minutes to let it sink in that Miranda was on the other side of the door. Then I remembered the earlier plan that Landon and Miranda had made for the night, Landon had told me a few days ago that he was sick of me mopeing around the apartment so he had decided that him and his girlfriend Miranda would set me up on a blind date. I didn't know that the blind date would be someone I knew, but I knew Miranda would know that I knew her. Seeing as how this turned out better than even Miranda thought it would have, I decided to pick on her.

Getting up quietly and leaving Lizzies sleeping form in my bed I pulled on some clothes and quietly walked out of my room into the common room where Miranda and Landon were talking.

"You do know that the term Blind date generally means that you don't know the person you were hooking up with." I stated interrupting their conversation.

"Well you knew I was talking to both of you Gordo, and I saw how she was moping and I saw how you were moping and I couldn't help myself." She explained. "It would have worked out better if she hadn't heard me talking to the other rushes and then demanded to know where you were so she could see you yourself instead of in a set up."

"Miranda, do you even know what happened that caused our break up?" I said trying to fake being angry. "Cause I know you do and what makes you think that I would want to?"

"Wait, so that pretty blonde that was here earlier was your ex?" Landon interrupted putting two and two together.

"Yes I was." Lizzie answered walking out of my room in one of my shirts. "But now I'm his current. And David you know about picking on Miranda, you never win, and all you do is make her feel bad." She finished walking up next to me and wrapping her arms around me.

"So, you didn't want to see her?" Miranda said eying Liz in the shirt she had on.

"I didn't say that, I just asked what made you think that." I answered sticking out my toungue.

A little while later we changed and left to go out for a night of dinner and dancing. It was weird how well it all fit together.
