As for my college experience so far, everything pretty much sucks for me. I dress a little blacker, look a little shorter, skinny but tough, and supposedly my mom loves to tell me I have more curves than a coke bottle but I don't show them off enough. I'm overall an outcast and hate socializing and hate people in general.
I partied too much, and couldn't stay away from all the wrong crowds. I was dating the wrong guy, but couldn't find a way to break it off. He treated me like shit, but little did he know I was robbing him blind of every hard-working-cent he had.
College courses were just awful. My schedule was do-able except for the fact I was stuck in some lame and seemingly hard class I didn't even sign up for. My Friday morning consisted of International Business with Professor Davis.
I sat way in the back, and it was a relatively small class. I had to find some eye candy to keep me occupied. I was anything but loyal and innocent at that time.
The last one to class, I came to learn, was a very slim, built-looking, Irish lifeguard named Jeremy. And yes, I can tell all that by looking at him... Well, at least that he was Irish. The teacher announced his name and he had a red and white Guard's jacket on. He had the most intriguing eyes I'd ever seen, and the most attitude-filled walk.
Time drug by and International Business became the highlight of my week, and Jeremy became the number one name on my 'To Do' list. We had made eye contact more than three times already, but still said no more than the occasional "Hey". His dorm turned out to be only a few floors below mine. (Thank God for Co-Ed schools!) I took any oppurtunity to bump into him or try to show off.
Soon I noticed him and Kassie, my roommate, were talking in the hall. They decided it would be fun to double date with me and my boyfriend, Shon. She mentioned the idea of the four of us going to see a movie the upcoming Friday. We made plans and later that night I called Shon and forced him to agree, in the back of my mind knowing I was going to use this night to somehow get closer to Jeremy.
Friday morning rolled around and when I walked in the first thing I noticed was that Jeremy was the first, and only, one in the class and he was sitting in the empty seat behind me. I did my best to play it cool, and put on a hard-to-get act. I nonchalantly slid into my chair and put my head down and prepared for a quick nap, when I felt a finger running up and down the middle of my back. My stomach twisted as I turned around to come nose to nose with the hottest guy I'd ever met.
Jeremy looked greater everyday. He seemed to just keep getting more gorgeous every week.
"So, what movie you girlies decide on?" He asked, in the most innocent voice.
"I think Kassie had mentioned some horror movie." The room felt like it was slowly catching on fire.
"Well, that sounds okay, though I'm not too worried about actually paying attention to it." This didn't exactly thrill me; the image of my secret crush and my roommate playing tonsil hockey.
"Well I'm guessing you'll be too busy lip locking to even catch a glimpse of anything." I wondered if he sensed the jealousy.
"Sounds like somebody needs to get some," he shot back.
"What's it to you? You'll be to busy being her plaything for the night" I didn't see where this conversation was going.
"Hey, don't get me wrong, this isn't about her... I had to find some way to get your attention. What better way than through your roommate?" He said with a quick wink.
"Funny, I always thought her and Shon would be perfect together, but I guess that would be too good to be true. Sadly, he won't leave me." I said, completely ignoring his previous hint that he just may be interested in ME.
"Oooh, I see... Well, maybe they could be perfect for each other. Maybe they just need a little push, or at least a chance to be alone."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I questioned.
"You'll figure it out eventually... tonight." He left me hanging by a thread. Even if he would have told me, he would have no time to explain. Everyone else was arriving and class had started so we were then forced to pay attention. After class he was gone before I could think twice about questioning his intentions.
