“Did you find one for yourself?”
“Maybe,” she says with a smile.
“Do tell,” I say excitedly. I haven’t seen Quinn this happy in quite a while.
“His name is Mason and oh my gosh, he’s flipping hot,” she says all giggly.
“Where did you meet him?”
“Here last night.”
“So he goes here?”
“Yes and he’s hot.”
I can’t help but laugh, “You already said that. So when do I get to see him?”
“Tomorrow.”
“You going out?”
“We are going out, he’s bringing a friend.”
“You aren’t going to try to hook me up are you?”
“No, but if he’s hot, then maybe,” she says with a genuine smile.
“Sounds good.”
We spend the rest of the night talking about what happened at home before calling it a night. For the next month, I go to class, party with Quinn who ended up not hanging out with Mason the next day because the jerk actually did have a girlfriend, the asshole. So instead, we’ve been hanging out at the sorority house or in our dorm room.
“We have only two weeks of school left, what the hell?” Quinn complains.
“You can always come stay with me,” I say excited.
“I may come visit you. I don’t want to leave.”
“You’re coming back early too, aren’t you?”
“Yes, my family annoys the shit out of me.”
“I hear you. So what are your plans for tonight?”
“Lacey said something about a house party, so why don’t we check it out?”
“Sounds good to me.”
We get dressed; I decide on a light denim skirt with a sparkly purple top and sandals since the weather is getting nicer. Quinn is dressed in black short shorts with a green halter-top and a pair of black heels.
“Wow, you look great,” I tell Quinn approving her outfit.
“Thanks, you look great too. I’m hoping to get laid tonight.”
“I don’t think you’ll have a problem.”
“Good, that’s the plan. Alright, you ready to go?”
“Sure am,” I say as I grab my small wristlet and head towards the door. We lock up and head over to the sorority house to see what Lacey has in store. It’s already going on 10:00 p.m. by the time we leave the sorority house to head down to the house that’s having a party. We make our way down and I realize the closer we get as to which house we are going to.
“What’s wrong?” Quinn whispers, obviously seeing something wrong.
“Do you see where we are going?”
“Yeah a house party…oh shit, well he knows you go here now, do you think he’d care?”
“I hope not.”
“Just be glad you took out your green contacts or shit could have really hit the fan,” she says laughing, causing a few of the other girls to look at us.
“Oh God, thank goodness I did.”
“It will be fun, we’ll have a great time you’ll see,” she says as she links her arm through mine.
“You’re right,” I say as we make the rest of the walk to the house. The place is busy with people everywhere. We finally make it inside and head towards the kitchen for the drinks. Quinn grabs each of us a beer before we decide to walk around and check out the guests.
After an hour or so of mingling and drinking, I have a pretty good buzz going on. “See anyone you like?” I ask Quinn.
“Of course, but I want one that’s single,” she says looking around.
“Hey,” Liam says as he comes up behind me.
“Hey, how are you?”
“Good. You ladies having a good time?” he asks kindly.
“Sure are,” I giggle.
“Are you drunk Haley?”
“No, but I have a good buzz going on,” I admit, he just shakes his head at me, “Liam, this is my roommate Quinn, Quinn this is Liam.”
“Nice to meet you,” Quinn says happily, but the look on Liam’s face says anything but happy to see her.
“Do you know her?” I ask confused at the situation.
“You and I need to talk now,” he says as he pulls my arm towards the stairs.
“Are you alright Haley?” Quinn asks quickly.
“I’m fine, I’ll be right back,” I say as I’m being pulled away.
We walk up the stairs and to Liam’s bedroom; I can’t help but look around checking it out again. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” I spit out angrily that he drug me up the stairs like that.
“I think there’s something you need to tell me don’t you?” he says with an evil glare.
“What the hell are you talking about?”
