It happened again.
I rolled my eyes after the fifth knock on our dormitory room door.
I looked at Jenny with a scowl and she returned one to me.
"We're getting the hell out of here, and... we're taking Maggie with us."
Jenny began packing her study materials and an overnight bag. It seemed, every time during finals, girls wanted to stop by and talk. This Fall semester wasn't any different.
I reached for the door knob... ready to throttle the person behind it.
The floor RA... Krystal.
"This just came for you. Delivered to the security desk."
"Thank you," I replied, as she turned to go to her room at the end of the hall.
A large yellow mailer. An obscure return address in... Alaska.
Jenny looked at me with arched eyebrows.
I ripped the precut tab from the top and dumped the contents onto my desk. Surprised, because...
A coat button hit the table and bounced to the floor. I followed the tiny button and picked it up.
Suddenly...
I gasped and put a hand over my mouth. My heart froze in my chest...
"Holy shit," I whispered.
It was the button I lost at Donald Spears house. Or... Paige Wilkes house, now.
The torn document on my desk... the release of liability I signed for Donald. Torn down the middle... top to bottom.
I desperately dug inside the envelope for anything... a note... a letter.
Nothing.
It suddenly dawned on me... Donald may have taken my button. That I didn't lose it at all. I caught myself not breathing.
My heart was stuck in my throat and Jenny saw it.
"You look like you've seen a ghost. Are you OK?"
I whispered as I looked at the button in my fingers...
"It is a ghost."

I invited Maggie to my home for the day after Christmas.
To my surprise, she asked if she could come over Christmas night and stay with me.
When we were readying for bed...
Maggie took me into her arms in a loving hug. Something she didn't do very often.
"Mama told me to be affectionate with my friends. Just like she is with me. She said others would respond to me if I do. So... I want to practice with you. You're the most affectionate person I know."
I melted into her arms. I kissed her on the lips and hugged her neck. Surprisingly, again... she took me to my bed, pulled me in and cuddled with me... A spoon.
"I'm still not into girls, Amy," she whispered. "But there'll be times I need someone to be with. And, now is one of those times." She snuggled into my back and I could feel her girls pressing against me. "You're the first girl I've cuddled. Except for my Mama."
I pulled my long hair over my shoulder, pulled her arm higher on my tummy, below my girls, and scooted my butt into her waist.
"I love you, Maggie. I always will."
*****
It was the Friday of the first week of Spring semester classes.
Instead of going to my room, I went directly to Maggie's room. Wanting to take her to lunch.
"She said she went to Emily and Claire's room. Something about needing to compare notes."
I arched an eyebrow, hugged Caroline, and took off for the second floor. Maggie, last semester, after her talk with her mother, took a liking to Emily and Claire, and I wasn't surprised. Those girls are easy, peasy friends makers.
I stepped into the room, and sure enough, the three girls were studying. Maggie on Claire's bed... a book in her lap, a notepad on her right, with a pen, and her knees bent in front of her.
"She said she needed someone to moderate her studying. To take breaks often." Emily stood by me looking at Maggie. "I'm about to call a break and go to the dining hall."
"Nope," I chirped. "We're going to Angelo's. I'm buying."
*****
Again... I was surprised.
After lunch, Maggie took my arm and placed hers inside of mine, as we walked from the parking lot from Claire's car to the dormitory.
"Practice," she said, with her cute smile. "Mama's instructions." She looked forward and after a few steps. "I do like holding you. You give me... comfort."
My heart swelled in my chest again. Emily heard and took up on the other side of Maggie. Taking her arm into hers. Claire... on the other side of me.
Four wonderful friends... together.

I opened the door.
Michelle lunged at me, flipped the door closed, spun me, and pinned me to the back of the door. Her lips attacked mine and her tongue sliced through my tonsils. I snatched the back of her head with one hand and ran a hand up her blouse to squeeze her gorgeous boob through her bra.
"Ah-hem."
I started smiling through my kiss and Michelle jumped back at the interruption. Stunned to see my friends looking at us.
"Girls, this is Michelle Perkins," I began, as Michelle straightened her blouse and boob. Her face began to redden. "She's a graduate student at the Business school."
"I've seen you in the hallways at the Business building," Jenny replied, as she made a vain attempt to keep from smiling too hard. "Jenny Dodge, junior, Finance and Economics."
"Maggie Grayson."
The look on Maggie's face was priceless.
"Um, sophomore, Finance and Accounting."
"Relax, Michelle. It's not the first time these girls have seen me kiss another girl. It was hot, by the way." I spanked her cute bottom as I slipped past her and invited her to sit on my bed with me. Maggie had been sitting at my desk and Jenny was getting ready to go see Alex downstairs.
