"Be back..." Hmm, I waited a moment and started to play the night out in my head, if everything turned out for the best, it would be a very long night.
"Tomorrow." I finished up the note with, "Have fun," and placed it on the desk. I smiled at the thought of Nick actually being in the same room with a girl on a matter that wasn't school related. But I wasn't going to sit and think about my roommate's night when I had my own ahead of me. I was psyched I was going to get to go out with Brittney. I had seen Brittney around the school earlier before, and like any other man who had seen her, the thought of "hitting it," for lack of a better term was the first to pop into my head. I had felt a little apprehensive at the thought of asking her out at first. Although a couple of weeks had passed since Erika and I had split up after we both realized we were just using each other to get over our old relationships and thought we had fallen in love.
I guess I could say I matured after that little experience, I was thinking less with the head in my pants and more with the one on my shoulders. Earlier in the day while I was hanging out in the cafeteria with a couple of friends, I saw Brittney again. She was certainly one of the most attractive girls I had ever laid eyes on. She stood tall, a majority of it due to her long legs, covered by a pair of ripped blue jeans. Her breasts weren't terrible either, you could definitely grab a handful and still have some to spare. Brittney's most attributable feature to her beauty was definitely her hair. Blonde, slightly curled, and reaching down to just past her shoulders and just about the most beautiful green eyes I'd ever seen. She had on a blue tank top that didn't do much to hide her figure, I fantasized about the two of us together and me peeling off each strap...I had decided to try and talk to her and see what comes of it. I saw her sitting down alone at a table a couple of yards away, so I started walking and approached her, when I came to her table
"Hey, you're in my biology class. Brittney right? I was wondering if you could help me out with one of our assignments."
"Sure, it'd be my pleasure." She took out her biology book and opened it to the chapter on the digestive system, thankfully, she was paying attention when Mr. Stanton was discussing it.
I pointed out the matter I needed "help" on, our paper regarding the process of eating, which includes the stomach growling that triggers the "I'm hungry" thought that leads to eating the food you want, digesting said food, and what happens during digestion. She cleared up the matter for me with a smile.
"Great, I had the whole thing done except for that one part, thanks a lot." Brittney closed the book and put it away into her bag. Among the things in her bag, I noticed she carried a Game Boy Advance, which was surprising, I never saw a girl who had one. "You have a Game Boy?" A curious smile revealed itself as I leaned my head to the side to get a better look at the blue square. Brittney giggled and answered, "Guilty as charged. I'm a gaming nut, believe it or not." I tried to hide my expression of excitement, but failed. "Wow!" I exclaimed, "That's pretty cool! What're you playing?" I never felt this excited over such a trivial thing in my life, with the exception of a few other things, but it's hard to find a girl who plays videogames, let alone one who's good at them. Brittney took out the GBA and told me she was playing Metroid: Zero Mission and that she was almost finished.
"Nice. I've been thinking about getting it, how do you like it so far?" Contrary to me initial beliefs, Brittney and I had a lot in common. Videogames, music tastes, and by coincidence we were both reading the same book, Hagekure. I kept my head level though, as hard as it might've been, I knew she wasn't my soul mate after a couple of minutes of conversation. But maybe it was a good enough time to ask for a date, it was Friday after all. I didn't want to come off desperate or like I had planned asking her, but I prepared for the worst in any case.
"Say Brittney, I was wondering, if you weren't doing anything later on, you'd like to go out?" As I asked her out, my eyes moved from looking away and slowly made contact with hers, a small smile emerging from the corner of my mouth. Brittney looked at me for a moment, turned away, closed her eyes, and finally said,
"Sure, I'd love to. Only under one condition though." Brittney raised an index finger up.
"I guarantee a good time, if that's what it is." I said, trying for a laugh. Brittney smiled and said,
"No, but that's good to hear. You have a roommate right?" I nodded yes, "Well, my friend Brenda has been kind of feeling down lately and I don't want her to be alone tonight, so I was thinking you could set her up with your roommate. Can you do that? Here she comes now." Brittney pointed to Brenda, walking toward us from the south entrance of the cafeteria. I took a quick note of her features to relay back to Nick.
"Sure I can do that, poor guy needs to socialize more anyway, this'll be a good wake up call for him." As I finished speaking, Brenda sat down at the opposite end of the table from me and started burying herself in a book.
"Great! Just let him know and call me for the details. And we'll set up our little date as well, alright?" I smiled, nodded, and gave her a small kiss on the cheek.
"See ya later tonight."
I headed back to the room and told Nick what was going on, after a little coaxing, he agreed. After he left to take a shower, I called Brittney to tell her the date was on.
"Wonderful! I'll make it easy for him, what's your dorm and room?" I gave her the information and she finalized up the details for our night out, as well as keeping Brenda happy. The night was going to be simple enough, get some dinner and maybe find a party here on campus. After finishing up the note, I headed to the showers in another one of the dorms, I didn't want to run into Nick again and risk him having second thoughts. After a refreshing shower, shave, and spraying myself with a healthy amount of cologne, I set out to meet the lovely Brittney. I carried myself in a way that made some girls notice, which was nice, but there was only one girl I was interested in that night.
As I arrived at Brittney's dorm, I saw the door open and a woman emerge, I looked a little closer and saw it was Brenda. On her way to see Nick, no doubt. As she approached, Brenda passed me by in the hallway and I caught a glimpse of her outfit, an orange top and black skirt, not looking out to impress anybody I suppose. Our eyes met for a brief moment and we both continued on our ways. She had a peculiar look in her eyes, I couldn't understand what it was, but I'm sure Nick was going to have a nice night. The date would do him some good, if he read anymore pages on the super id, his head probably would explode. I kept walking and finally arrived at Brittney's dorm, knocking on the door.
"Just a moment!" Brittney said, her voice vaguely masked by the door. Thoughts raced through my head. Was she going to be the one? Was tonight going to be the best thing to ever happen to me or just a crash and burn? Were we going to end up happily ever after and grow to see our final days together? OK, maybe it's a little too early to tell all of that. I took a deep breath and started darting my eyes around. I had just noticed that there was a discoloration on the ceiling where it met the wall when the door swung open.
