Ch 13

After breakfast Mike dropped the girls at the hotel. Kayte,Nadia, and Aimee were leaving that morning and Kerrie decided to extend her trip another two days.

'Mom is gonna freak.' Kayte said packing her bags.

'What I want to leave my job.' Kerrie mumbled.

'So what are you gonna do? Move here?'

'Who knows. Don't tell mom about me thinking about leaving the school.'

'I won't. How is Coreen?'

'Sleeping. I wish I could.'

'So she was stung by some bug?' Aimee asked sipping her coffee.

'Yea. I want to make sure she's ok before I go home.'

'You have the hots for someone. I know it.' Kayte said with a satisfied smirk.

'No.' Kerrie said looking at the wall.

'Then someone has caught your eye.' Kayte said slipping on her coat.

'If you say so. You girls have a safe flight home.'

'Don't worry I'll call you when I get in.'

'Ok, see you later.'

Kerrie made her way next door and laid down on the other bed. Coreen was clutching the fire extinguisher for dear life in her sleep. Kerrie closed her eyes and fell into a restless sleep. Four hours later Kerrie woke up to see Coreen at her computer typing away.

'Who the heck are you talking to?' Kerrie asked pulling a sheet over her face.

'The dumbass sent you a reply. It says: Dear Kerrie, I know I have been a terrible fiancee and you deserve much better but my life has come to a standstill since we split. I got your sister's message and she has every right to hate me. I wish we could be together again or at least be friends. Love you always, Jason.'

Kerrie made a gagging noise and turned on her other side.

'What did you write back?'

'I said: Jason, get it into your thick skull I've moved and no longer have any feelings for you except hate. Real men never hit a woman no matter what. Leave me the heck alone.'

'Good one. I'm gonna go back to sleep.' Kerrie said forcing her eyes closed.

'Oh no your not. What was going on at breakfast?'

'Do we have to talk about it?'

'Yes, you two were making goo-goo eyes at each other.'

'No, we weren't.'

'Oh please. Mike was staring at you the whole time and you kept smiling at him.'

'Coreen.' Kerrie pulled the sheet back over her head.

'You have a crush on him don't you. I so called this.' Coreen said doing a little victory dance around the room.

'You better not blurt this out. You already were telling Henry about your plan.

That's more then enough.'

'We get to spend some time with him at the station. I might just have to lock you two up in a room.' Coreen said with an evil grin.

'You suck.' Kerrie said tossing a pillow at her.

'I'm gonna let you get some beauty sleep and I'm gonna go get cleaned

up then go to work.'

'Sure, I'll meet you at Vicki's office at four.' Kerrie said yawning.

'Dress nice for Mike.' Coreen said before dashing into the bathroom to take a shower.

At four Kerrie walked into Vicki's office to see Coreen sitting at the computer with a smile.

'Guess who's in there?' She said trying to suppress a giggle.

'Shut the hell up.' Kerrie mumbled. She took a seat and pulled her book out of her bag.

'Your skipping class to be here and your still reading up.'

'At least this is a half interesting class. Personality Psychology is kicking my ass.'

'So Neuroscience is easier? College kicks my ass all the time.' Coreen said staring at the computer. The printer started making noises and Coreen held up a picture with a grin. 'This is what your children could look like.'

Kerrie ripped the piece of paper out of her hand as Coreen fell into the wall laughing. Both Vicki and Mike came running to the door way to see both girls laughing.

'It's nice to see you two are having fun.' Vicki huffed.

'I already wrote down and went over the spells I used last time. I'm good.' Kerrie said sitting down and going back to her book.

'What are you reading?' Mike asked trying to look at the cover.

'I'm studying for my Behavioral Neuroscience test I'll have when I go home.'

'Impressive.'

Vicki rolled her eyes as Coreen smirked.
