Well, a few days after January first, the college reopened. That's always extremely rude. Some times I thought it would be better if we never got any substantial time off because it was so difficult to get back in the swing of things again. And what was even worse was the end of term was quickly approaching. Of course there were going to be research papers due, that I hadn't even chosen my topics for and final exams for subjects in which I hadn't even cracked the books open yet. Something drastic was going to have to happen. Haha, no I don't mean studying.
The first day back in school I didn't see Eric until just before lunch. And he looked right through me. I took that to mean he was still pissed. Real insightful, ain't I? You know me β I'm not shy so I waltzed on up to him. The fact is that I really did feel bad. Looking back, I suppose I should have held out with Vicki until she agreed to let Eric come instead of Derek. You see, she didn't know Eric and she knew Derek and she wanted to invite someone who wouldn't embarrass her and Jack in front of the Mayor.
But then why would she invite me? Haha. Anyway I could have stressed to her that Eric was extremely couth in public and I could have even had him come over and meet her and Jack. Oh well, water under the bridge, live and learn and all those other trite clichΓ©s.
Anyway I walked up to him and began to say, "Eric, I'm really sorry about β" and he walked away! Wow! That really threw me for a loop. I never thought he'd be that upset. I was really bummed. You might be surprised at this, because I usually run the entire show with males, but in this case it was his ball game. Just the thought of him usually turns my knees to jelly.
I was miserable and mortified. A number of students had witnessed him thoroughly diss me and they were smiling, but not after I glared at them. Mwahaha! Eric or no Eric, they were still frightened of my mouth and my rep.
That afternoon I went home with Tom and Alecia. Man, I felt sorry for them, because they sure received an earful from me concerning Eric. They were so noncommittal I wasn't certain how they felt on the matter. They were of course intelligent enough not to agree with me when I said that Eric was a jerk. Many a good friendship has fallen by the wayside when the friend agreed that the girl/boy friend was an idiot and they were better off without them, only to have the relationship resumed on the next day.
Finally after all was said and done, Alecia asked, "So what are you going to do?"
"I don't know anymore," I said.
"Why don't you go over to his house to talk to him?" Tom suggested.
"Oh no Tom, I don't think that's a good idea at all," Alecia said.
"I'm sorry, I thought he was talking to me," I said.
Alecia stuck her tongue out at me in a joky manner. I laughed and said, "No use trying to seduce me to change my mind."
"Will you take me?" I asked Tom.
"Sure, I'd be glad to," Tom said quickly, before Alecia could register a further protest.
"Then I'm going with you," my girl friend said emphatically. "Somebody has to, to make sure you don't get in any further trouble."
A half an hour later, Tom was pulling his car up to the curb in front of Eric's home. I was relieved to see his father's car wasn't in the driveway. If his father was home, then I wouldn't be able to follow through with my plan. As it was, I wasn't certain if I had the courage to do it or not. It was pretty over the top, even for me.
I said jokily, "If I'm not back in ten minutes Sergeant, come get me."
Tom laughed, but Alecia snorted at me. I stepped out of the car and then I stepped out of my blouse and skirt and walked up the sidewalk to their house naked. Behind me in the car, I could hear Alecia saying excitedly to Tom, "See, I told you. I knew she would do this. Go get her, Tom."
Hearing this, I sprinted up to the house and was standing in front before Tom could get out of the car. I rang the doorbell and in a minute, Eric's mother answered the door. To be fair to her, she never said a word out of turn, although she did do a double take when she first saw me standing there nude.
"Why hello there, Sara," Eric's mother said loudly. "How are you, dear?"
I understood it right away. Eric had visitors and she was attempting to warm him of my impending arrival in his room.
"I've been good," I said. "Is Eric upstairs?" I asked, already moving toward the staircase.
"Yes, he is, but Sara β" she answered.
"It's okay," I interrupted. "I won't stay but a minute."
I just knew that he had a woman up there. Hell, he didn't waste much time replacing me. I bounded up the stairs and walked right into his bedroom. The door wasn't locked. I wasn't all surprised at the sight I was confronted with β Eric and a blonde sitting on his bed all intertwined with each other and involved in a big lip lock.
I recognized the bimbo right away. Her name was Heather and she had been sniffing around Eric like an old hound dog the whole time we had been going together. Eric broke for air and finally noticed me standing there naked. How he had changed β just a short while ago he would have noticed the first second I showed up in his room.
"Sara!" he exclaimed in surprise.
He jumped up off the bed I'm sure to escort me out of his room immediately. Heather looked up at me and sneered her lip at me.
"Who let the naked slut in, Eric?" she said.
Heather was fairly good looking, with long blonde hair and green eyes. She was only five feet tall which is so short I was considerably taller than her. She also weighed in at just under a hundred. For her small stature, she had a nice figure, and appeared to have around 34b breasts. Heather had done the most she could with her looks with the judicious use of makeup because her face was long β almost a horse face β neigh! β haha. With makeup she had been able to emphasize her green eyes, which were a good feature of hers. By this time, Heather had also stood up from the bed.
"Come on, slut," she invited. "You wanna go at it?"
"Who's a slut? You're the one who couldn't wait for the body to cool off before moving in. What'd you do? Come over early this morning?" I said.
"A lot you know," Heather retorted. "Eric asked me to go with him on New Year's Eve. It was him who couldn't wait."
I felt as though I had been hit across the face with a baseball bat and it must have shown in my expression.
"So is little Sara wara going to cry now?" Heather mocked me.
I didn't care about anything at that point. I just wanted to get out of there, go somewhere and really cry. I couldn't believe he could be such a prick β I had really thought he loved me.
I turned to leave the room but Heather said, "Oh no you don't, you show up here naked, uninvited and interrupt us. I do believe you deserve an ass whipping."
"No, Heather," Eric said. "Just let her go."
Heather stepped by me thereby now blocking the door.
"No way," she said.
Eric looked at me and shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "Well, I tried and she won't listen. Go ahead and beat her butt and I won't interfere."
I don't know if my interpretation was correct, but that is the way everything turned out. Heather was wearing a green and white tank top and gray dungarees β not for long I might add. I acted as though I was frightened of her β (who said I'm not a great actress? Me β afraid of that shrimp?). I was backing up and saying, "Please, I just want to leave."
"It's far too late for that," she spoke the appropriate line.
I wanted to congratulate her on her dialogue, but I was busy at the time because she stepped forward and pulled her hand back to slap me. When she brought it forward (incredibly slowly I might add), I grabbed onto her wrist, spun her around and jammed her arm way up high on her back.
"Ow!" she cried out, in pain and I imagine some fear at this point. It had to feel to her as though I was ripping her arm out of her shoulder socket.
