The rest of the drive is easy conversation, which would have been nice the entire way, but oh well, I will take what I can get I guess. It’s around 7:00 p.m. when Liam drops me off at my dorm. I grab my bags say good night and head inside to see if Quinn is back yet.
“Damn girl I thought you were never going to get here,” Quinn says as I enter our room.
“It’s a long ass drive,” I say as drop my bags to the floor.
“God I’ve missed you,” she says as she comes and gives me a hug.
“Missed you too buddy. How was home?”
“Ugh, same old shit. How was yours?” she asks with a look.
“Good.”
“You didn’t drive back to campus, why is that?” she asks curiously.
“Oh Liam and I decided to carpool.”
“Liam huh…does he know?”
“No and he never will.”
“I’m not saying anything, but I was just curious. I can’t believe he didn’t put it together.”
“He was pretty drunk that night and I was gone before he woke up, so he probably thought he imagined it.”
“Could have, though, that would surprise me.”
“Oh, he was surprised when he saw me with brown hair that’s for sure and that I go here.”
“I think it’s hilarious. So did anything else happen with dream guy?”
“No,” I say looking quickly away. I hate lying and I suck at it.
“Nice try, spill it bitch,” she says as she flops down on my bed.
“You can’t tell a single soul. I didn’t even tell Kenzie.”
“I won’t. You didn’t tell Kenzie about sleeping with him either. Your secrets are safe with me.”
“Good, because I need to tell someone,” I say as I sit down on the bed beside her, telling her moment-by-moment what happened.
“I feel like I’m about to hear round two happened,” she says excitedly.
“No. We were just lying in bed talking and he asked me about making out with guys because I do that every now and then, there’s nothing wrong with it. Before I know it he’s kissing me.”
“Holy fuck. I’m so jealous right now.”
“Don’t be. It started to progress tops off kissing, but when I moved my hand down to unhook his jeans and he stopped me.”
“No, he didn’t,” she asks in complete and utter shock.
“Yep, he cussed and said this could never happen again, he’s with Meg. So it stopped, I got dressed and we went to sleep, the next morning he was gone and for the next few days he completely ignored me.”
“Then how did you end up driving back with him?”
“He told me what time to be ready to go yesterday, so I figured what the hell, at least it would give us a chance to talk about what happened.”
“How was the car ride?”
“The first nine hours were hell. He was a complete asshole. I should have driven myself.”
“And the last hour or so?”
“We were fine, talked about school, the sorority, and football. It was nice.”
“Do you think he’s going to marry her one day?” Quinn asks out of nowhere.
“Ugh, yeah I do. They are perfect for each other.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Seriously? Star quarterback, President of the Sorority house, they are both gorgeous people, that’s how it works,” I say feeling anything but happy at the moment.
“Haley, there’s nothing wrong with you.”
“I’m not sexy hot like Meg, I know that.”
“Oh my God, are you seriously blind?” Quinn shouts.
“No.”
“Do you not see how many guys hit on you? How many guys look at you when you walk around campus? Guys are dying to talk to you and when some do, you brush them off like it’s nothing and keep on your way.”
“That’s because the guys that talk to me aren’t what I want. They aren’t my type.”
“No, they aren’t Liam, but sweetie you need to let him go and move on.”
“I know. Maybe coming here wasn’t such a good idea.”
“Excuse me? You met me, this was the best decision you ever made, plus, you love it here. We will find you a hot guy.”
“I know, Meg’s already trying to hook me up.”
“Really?” she asks surprised.
“Yep.”
“Does she know you have the hot’s for her boyfriend?” she asks with a smirk.
“NO,” I yell.
“Okay, just thought I’d make sure.”
“No, she has no idea. I don’t want to make it known or obvious.”
“I know. So tomorrow is back to class and we can start looking for a hottie for you.”
