Towards the end of class when we were going over everything he kept calling on me. I was starting to get kind of annoyed. I think he could tell too. Finally class was over.
"Allison, can I speak with you after class please." He said, while everyone was leaving. I gathered my things and walked up to his desk. We were quiet until the last student left.
"What was that about? Why did you keep putting me on the spot?" I asked him.
"Why did you leave like that last night?" He asked.
"Is that what this is about?" I asked him.
"No. It isn't, I'm sorry." He said.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" I asked him.
"I have to prepare a seminar, and I was asked to have a student help me out. For extra credit. You were the first one smart enough for me to consider. Sorry about drilling you, I just wanted to make sure I was making the right choice." He said.
"Are you asking me to assist you on the seminar?" I asked.
"Yeah. I am." He said.

6:25 PM
Sarah said...
"I'm sorry that I just left." I said.
"It's okay." He said shaking his head and shuffling through papers. "Would you like to assist me?" He asked.
"Are you going to see me again?" I asked.
"I would like to, but I'm not so sure that's what you want." He said.
"I didn't mean anything by it. Leaving, I mean." I said.
He sighed. "I apologize for calling on you so much like that." He said.
"I'm over it. You want me to come by your place so we can go over this seminar stuff?" I asked.
"Uh. . . yeah, sure we can do that." He said.
"That wasn't a very convincing answer." I said.
"Yes, come over." He said.
"Okay." I said smiling. I turned around and stood next to him.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"This." I said as I pinched him in the butt. He jumped. "Allison, not here." He whispered. I pinched his butt again and ran out of the classroom laughing. I was giggling as I walked quickly down the hall way. "Ally." I heard. It sounded like Todd. My heart started beating so fast that I swore I could feel it through my chest. I turned around. "Todd." I said.
He smiled. "Hey." He said walking up slowly, then giving me a hug. "You look very happy." He said. "I'm glad you're happy."
"I am. I just got some good news. I'm assisting a teacher with a seminar." I said.
"Oh good for you." He said smiling.
I smiled.
"Ally, I really need your help with my Math homework. I can't seem to get it down. I failed my first test." He said. "Are you available at lunch? We could meet up at the cafe or something."
"Of course." I said smiling.
"Are we cool? I really am sorry about everything. I didn't have the guts to call you about this, but since I ran into you, I had to ask. "I can help you." I said smiling.
"Thank you so much." He said.
"I say we sneak you into my dorm room tomorrow night and we study there. I'll get some snacks and beer." I said.
He nodded and he kissed me on the cheek. "Love ya." He whispered in my ear. I smiled. "Love ya too."
He put his hand on my upper arm and squeezed it lightly. "You're a life saver." He said smiling and walked away. I was so happy that I ran into him. I missed him so much!

My other classes went by fast that day. It was easier to pay attention. I went to the Student Center to see if I could catch Matt. We hadn't talked since the night before. I saw him sitting at a table with a young looking girl. She looked like an art student. Real pretty, with her hair pulled back in a ponytail. She had on blue jeans and a red tanktop with a gray overshirt that it looked like she used as a smock. It was covered in paint. She had on black framed glasses, and had a few specks of paint on her face. I was instantly jealous.
I walked up to the table and waived to Matt. He looked a little shocked to see me.
"Ally!" He said, standing up. He hugged me, and motioned for me to sit down.
"Ally, this is Elizabeth. Elizabeth, my girlfriend Ally." He said.
"Hi, nice to meet you." I lied, and shook her hand.
"Same." She said smiling.
"Elizabeth is helping me on my math homework." Matt said.

9:30 PM
Sarah said...
I just stared at him. I'm sure he could tell I was mad. I stood up. "Bye." I said. I started walking away. "Ally, wait." Matt said. I turned around. He walked over to me. "Why do you keep getting help from other people?" I asked.
"Cause you're not around to help me." He said.
"This is over, Matt." I said. I turned around and walked away quickly. I was confused! I wasn't even sure if we were still a couple anymore, but I wanted to talk to him about it. "Screw him." I said out loud to myself. A girl gave me a strange look. I just kept walking. I went back to my dorm room.

9:40 PM
Christina said...
My phone rang. I looked and it was Matt.
"Hello." I answered.
"Ally, what is going on?" He asked.
"Why wont you ask me for help." I said.
"Because you're busy with your own stuff, aparently. I snuck over to your dorm last night to surprise you, but you weren't there." He said. "Where were you?"
"Nowhere. Look, I guess this just isn't working out. I feel like we aren't even a couple anymore." I told him.
"Ally. I don't understand." He said.
"Admit it. We aren't meant for each other." I said. I was trying not to cry.
"Fine. Whatever." He said, and hung up. I started crying.

9:53 PM
Sarah said...
I called him back. "Ally, where were you last night?" He asked.
"This is not working out." I said.
"Did you cheat on me?" He asked.
"Did we not break up the last time we talked on the phone?" I asked.
"I just thought it was a fight." He said sounding upset.
"Why didn't you call me for help with your homework?" I asked.
"Ally, you're busy. I know you're working hard. I don't want to get in the way of that." He said. "But I do need you to fit me into your schedule somehow."
"I need to focus on my education right now. I'm sorry." I said.
"That is the lamest fucking excuse I have ever heard." He said. "This is bullshit, Ally."
I didn't know what to say. I started crying again.
"Who is he?" He asked.

10:09 PM
Christina said...
"No one." I said.
"Todd. Alex?" He said.
"What?" I asked.
"I know about you and Alex. I'm not a fucking idiot." He said.
"NO!" I shouted.
"No what?" He asked.
"No I wasn't with Todd OR Alex!" I shouted.
"Who were you with. Don't you dare say Tristin, she was with Brian last night." He said.
"None of your business anymore." I said.
"Yeah, you know what, I fucking changed for you Ally. I gave shit up for you! I dress nicer, I act more mature, I TRY to be smarter. And you fucking cheat on me." He said. I started crying even more.
"The shitiest part is you can't even tell me." He said.
"Well maybe you should have done those things for yourself and not for me then." I told him.
"Maybe. I'll do them for me from now on. Is he smarter then me?" Matt asked.
"What?"
"Is he smarter then me! I know I'm not as smart as you Ally. Was that the problem?" He asked. I didn't say anything. I didn't know what to say, I just cried.
"I don't want to see you anymore." He said, and hung up the phone. I just gathered my books and then drove to Shawns house. I wanted to get my mind off Matt. I didn't know if he would be home or not, and I vaugly remembered where he lived. I manged to find it though. His roomate Matty answered the door.
"Uh, can I help you?" He asked, looking confused.
"Is Shawn home?" I asked.
"Uh, yeah. SHAWN!" Matty yelled, and walked off. Shawn came out of the kitchen.
"Oh, hey. Come in." He said. I walked in and shut the door.
"I wasn't expecting you so early." He said.
"Sorry. I've gotta get my mind of stuff. Studying helps." I told him. "Is this not okay?" I asked.
"No, it's fine! I was just making some dinner. Have a seat." He said, pointing to the table. I set my bag of books down by one of the kitchen chairs, and sat down.

10:28 PM
Sarah said...
"I'm making chicken tacos." He said.
I just smiled.
"Not a fan?" He asked.
"Oh no, I love Tacos." I said.
He walked over and sat down next to me. "Something you want to talk about?" He asked.
"No. I'm good." I said smiling.
"Let me know if you'd like to talk." He said.
I nodded. "Thank you."

10:44 PM
Christina said...
I started tearing up. I looked away real fast.
"Ally?" He asked.
"Well, I don't have a boyfriend anymore." I said, and wiped my eyes real quick.
"Because of me?" He asked.
"No. Because of me." I said.
"Hey, shhhh. It's okay. You'll meet someone better, I promise." He said. I just smiled. I felt like an idiot for crying.

10:52 PM
Sarah said...
He got up and made us each a plate of taco's. We went to his bedroom to eat. We sat on his bed and he turned on the TV to watch while we ate. "Sorry about your boyfriend." He said.
"It's okay." I said. "Not your fault."
We finished eating, then we both pulled out a bunch of books to go through for ideas. We both layed down and started looking through the books.

11:07 PM
Christina said...
We spent a good four hours working on stuff. Books, papers, and notes were spread out all over the place. We got up only to stretch a couple of times.
"Wow. Time flew by." Shawn said, and yawned.
"It did. We got a lot done." I told him.
"Yeah. Way more then I thought we would. You are really smart." He said. I just smiled.
"I mean that. You really make me think. Some of your philosphies on this stuff are absolutely amazing. You'll go far." He told me.

11:17 PM
Sarah said...
"Thank you." I said smiling.
He sat up and started moving everything to his desk. I layed back on the bed. "Is it okay if I crash here tonight?" I asked.
"Uh. . ." He said.
I sat up. "I'll go home." I said.
"I think that's probably a good idea." He said.
"Are you afraid I will just leave again? I won't. I promise." I said.
He smiled. "Maybe next time, okay?"
I smiled. "Okay." I said.
I left and went back to my dorm. I got ready for bed and went to sleep. The next morning went by really fast. I was so tired. While I was at lunch, I got a call from Alex. He told me that Matt had dropped his class today and he was wondering if I knew why. I had no idea! I got so mad when I found that out though! I called him right away and he answered. "Why did you drop Professor Learrmans class?" I yelled.
"I dropped them all. I moved back in with my friends." He said.
"Matt!" I shouted. I stepped outside. He hung up on me. I got in my car and drove to his old place. I knocked on the door and some girl opened it. "Hi, I'm looking for Matt." I said.
"In his bedroom." She said. I went to his bedroom and opened the door. He was smoking pot. "What the fuck! Ever heard of knocking!" He yelled.
"Matt, this is not you." I said.
"No, Ally. This IS me." He said. "What I turned into before when I was with you, that was not me."
"Yes it was. It was a smart and improved you." I said. "I can not beleive you dropped out of school and now you are back to living in this shithole smoking pot!"
"And why does this surprise you?" He asked.
"Matt, I want to be with you." I said.
"Who did you cheat on me with?" He asked.
"Please let me help you with your homework and studying." I said. "Please."
"Study what? I don't have anything to study for." He said.
"You can easily get your classes back." I said.
"I don't want to! Get that in your head!" He shouted. I closed the door and locked it. Matt sighed loudly. "What the hell are you doing?" He asked.
I took my shirt off. "Ally, come on." He said.
"Put the pipe down." I said slipping off my pants.
"Ally." He said.
"Put it down." I said.
I took off my bra and panties. He set down the pipe. I walked over to him. "Stand up." I said. He stood up not saying anything. I pulled his shirt off over his head and as I started to unhook his belt, he stopped me. "What are you doing?" He asked.
"This is going to be your anti-drug and stay in school reward." I said. I took off his belt and and unbuttoned his pants. "Ally, you cheated on me." He said. I ignored him and pulled his pants down. I took his hand and walked him over to his bed. "Ally." He said softly.
"Promise me you will never touch any kind of drug again." I said.
He nodded and started kissing me. "Promise me you will not sleep with someone else again if you are already dating someone." He said.
"I promise." I whispered as I kissed his neck.

11:49 PM
Christina said...
"Ally, it just felt like you totaly ditched me as soon as school started." He said. I started crying.
"I'm so, so sorry! I promise we'll spend more time together, okay?" I said. He smiled.
"Okay." He said, and layed me down on his bed.

8:31 AM
Sarah said...
"Are we back together?" He asked.
"Let me figure myself out, before I break any hearts." I said.
He just nodded and started kissing me again.

After we had sex, we both started falling asleep. I looked at the clock, then shook Matt awake.
"I'm tired." He said.
"Come on, lets get you re-enrolled before the offices close." I told him, getting up. I got dressed, then pulled the covers off of him.
"Come on!" I said, laughing. He looked funny all curled up and naked.
"Okay, okay. I'm coming." He said, and got up and got dressed.

9:49 AM
Sarah said...
I got dressed and we both drove to the school. I sat down at the bench in front of the office while he spoke with the counselor. I waited about ten minutes and he came back out with his old schedule in his hand. "Hello, Allison." I heard. I looked up and it was Shawn. "Oh hi, Shawn." I said. "I'm going to be Assisting him with a Seminar." I told Matt. "This is Mr. Bore."
Matt nodded. I realized that I called him Shawn when I said hi, instead of Mr. Bore. "See you tomorrow." Shawn said. "Bye." I said as he walked away. I looked at Matt. "Was it him? Are you screwing around with another one of your teachers?" He asked.
"Matt!" I said shouted. "Stop it!"
"How do you keep getting these sleeze bag teachers?" He asked.
"They're not!" I shouted.
"Was it him?" He asked.

"What if it was? What difference it going to make?" I told him. He laughed.
"None. None at all, Ally." He said.
"Why are you laughing?" I asked.
"Because this is too unbelievable, thats why. To un-FUCKING-believable!" He said. "You know what, I'm keeping my schedule, and I'm going to Ace every class without your help." He said, walking away.
"MATT!" I shouted, walking after him. He held his hand up for me to stop.
"No." He said, and turned around, and kept walking.

10:06 AM
Sarah said...
"Matt!" I shouted.
He turned around and walked over to me quickly. "Was it him?" He asked.
"No." I lied.
"You can stand here, looking me in the eyes and honestly tell me it was not him?" He asked.
I looked down, trying not to cry.
"That's what I thought. Be glad I'm not a narc. All your teachers would be fired." He said walking away.

10:17 AM
Christina said...
I just let him go that time. I turned and punched a plastic display case that held a map of the campus.
"Fuck." I muttered.
"I wouldn't do that. You'll break your hand." I heard someone say. I turned around and it was Janey.
"Fuck you." I said, walking away. She laughed.
"Wow, I guess you and I have more in common then I thought." She said.
"What the hell is that suposed to mean?" I asked her, turning around.

10:25 AM
Sarah said...
"Full of anger and hatred." She said.
"I am not full of anger and hatred." I said.
"I hold the cure in my pocket." She said.
"Excuse me?" I asked.
She pulled an altoids tin out of her pocket. "Pot." She said opening the tin. There were three joints in it. "Go ahead and take one." She said.
I was so tempted to take one. "No thanks." I said.
"Figured you were too much of a goody two shoes." She said puting it back in her pocket.
"I use to smoke for your information." I said rudly.
She laughed. "Sure." She said.
"I did!" I shouted.
She shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe you did."
I walked over to her. "I did." I said again.
She sighed. "You're welcome to join me behind the academic building. . ." She said. "I'll share."
"Thanks for the offer, but I quit doing that." I said.
She smiled and started walking away. I watched her take about twenty steps before I ran after her. She just smiled at me. I followed her past the field to the back of the academic building. We sat down against the wall.

10:32 AM
Christina said...
She lit up a joint, and passed it to me. I stared at it for a second, then decided I had nothing to lose. I took a couple hits then handed it back to her. I laughed.
"What?" She asked.
"I just got done yelling at my ex for doing this earlier today. Irony at it's best." I told her.
"The hot guy you were yelling at?" She asked.
"Yeah, him." I said.
"Jerk?" She asked.
"No, I was." I said. She laughed.
"What?" I asked.
"Love sucks." She told me.
"I oddly have to agree with you on that one." I said, taking the joint from her again.
"You know, maybe I had you judged wrong. You're not so bad." She said to me.
"Judged? Maybe you shouldn't judge poeple." I told her.
"Why not? They judge me." She said.
"Do they? Or do they respond to you judging them first?" I asked.
"Interesting point." She said. We finished smoking, and i felt a lot better. We talked for a while, and actualy enjoyed each others company.
"How about a little phsycological experiment?" She asked.
"What is that?" I asked.
"Meet me back here tomorrow. After lunch. We'll see if two people like us can actually get along." She said, and smiled.
"Meet you here tomorrow then." I told her. "You should smile more. It looks good on you." I told her.
"Fuck you!" She said laughing.
"It does, bitch." I said, and we both laughed.

10:40 AM
Sarah said...
We stood up. I went back to my dorm room and layed down on my bed. I set my alarm on my phone to wake me up in three hours so I could call Todd and sneak him into my room. It took me a few minutes to fall asleep, but when I did, I was out good. I woke up to my alarm and called Todd. I met him by the double doors at the end of the hall that were on the side of the building facing the academic building. I let him in. "I brought a bunch of snacks." He whispered.
"Shh." I said giggling.
We rushed to my room and I closed the door. We sat down on the floor and leaned back against the bed. He opened one of his books. "Okay, so whatcha got?" I asked smiling as I opened a bag of chips.
"Watcha got?" He asked.
"Yes. Watcha got?" I asked giggling.
He smiled. "You are the queen of dorkiness." He said.
"I know. It's fun being the queen of dorkiness though." I said smiling.
"I miss you, Ally." He said.
"Miss you too." I said. "Let's watch Ghostbusters when we finish your homework."
