Jess and I walked into the club and quickly spotted our group. I had recently met Jess in class and wanted her to meet my friends. I was a junior in college and I loved it. I had turned 21 just the summer before and junior year was shaping up to be the best ever.
I waved and walked over to the table to take a seat next to my best friend Colin and his new girlfriend Sarah. I introduced Jess to everyone and she was taken out onto the dance floor by Colin. I was left sitting next to Sarah. I felt pretty uncomfortable because Sarah had always been quite frosty to me for some unknown reason. She was insanely jealous and she never let Colin go out alone if there were going to be girls anywhere within a 100 mile radius.
As a result, I was a bit frosty myself because Colin was my best friend and I didn't see him as often as I used to. I had grown up with him living two houses down and I was used to him always being there. I didn't say anything to him though because he didn't have lots of girlfriends. He was kind of quiet, but if you get to know him, you realize that he's got a killer sense of humor and he's not obnoxious about it.
I was relieved from my uncomfortable silence by my other friend Jason who invited me to the dance floor. We danced a couple of songs before he saw a girl looking at him and asked if it was ok if he could ditch me to go talk to her. I agreed since I was a little tired anyway. I made my way back to the table to find Jess.
"Where's Colin and Sarah?" I asked after noticing their absence.
"When he brought me back, that girl was glaring at him and he took her out to dance." she replied. "I think he deserves better than her, he's really cute!"
I laughed "I bet that better person is you huh?"
It felt weird when anyone said that Colin was attractive. I had grown up with him; went through all years of school and we were now in college together. I suppose he was handsome. He was 6'2'' and had thick jet black hair and dark green brooding eyes. He looked much older than he was because of his defined jaw line, lean physique and stoic nature. He had also worked on a construction crew for the past few years and he had grown muscles to match his great personality.
The night went by without much incident. I danced with a few more guys, though none that were too interesting. Sarah clung to Colin like a barnacle and didn't even let me talk to him. Jess and I finally decided to leave and I said goodbye to everyone and told Jason to say bye to Colin and Sarah for me as she had dragged him to the dance floor some time prior. I drove her to her apartment and we talked for a while before I started home. Upon reaching my house, I realized that Colin's car was parked in the street. I was confused as to why he would be here so late. I walked into the house and found him in the living room. I had told him where the key was a long time ago for nights when his roommates were loud or if he didn't want to drive home from a party. He looked away from the TV and over at me.
