"Okay. Tim's turn. Ally, we'll start with you." Millie said. "Tim, I hated when you dropped out of school and just left us all. I don't like how you think you are stupid, or not good enough. I've always looked up to you because I think you are incredibly smart, and a really caring person." I said. Tim looked shocked. I don't think he was expecting to hear that from me. Christopher went next.
4:23 PM Sarah said... "You said you didn't like how Ally avoided the family. Well, you up and left and didn't even call us until you decided to come back." He said. "Also, I don't understand how you can be so understanding with whole Ariana situation. She's probably just going to do the same thing again." "Something good?" Millie asked. "No." He said. "Christopher?" Mom asked. "I'm done, Mom." He said. Tim looked shocked and bothered. "Oh and you treat me like your my father." He added. "Christopher!" Mom shouted. "It's true." He said madly.
4:31 PM Christina said... "It's okay. We're here to settle these issues. Christopher, please think of something positive, and we will come back to you at the end." Millie said. It was my Mom's turn to go. "I don't like how you never call me mom. I always feel like you have never realy accepted me. I'm very grateful how understanding and caring you've been through this whole situation though. It has made me second guess me original thoughts." She said. Then it was my dads turn.
4:35 PM Sarah said... "I think it's great that you're taking care of your responsibilities with Ariana and Aubry, but I feel the same way as Christopher does. You're acting as if she never did anything wrong." He said. Tim sighed. "Excuse me for loving her." He said. "Okay, let's take a slight break from the family issues and talk about me." She said. "Then, I'll let you know what I've observed about all of you and we'll move onto talking about Mom."
7:43 AM Christina said... "Tim. We'll start wih you." She said. "You try to act smart, and come off sounding idiotic. Just be yourself. As for something positive...You dress nice." He said. "Ally, you're next." She told me. "You try to make people feel dumb. You do make me think though, wich is something not everyone can do." I told her. Christopher was next.
8:38 AM Sarah said... "I don't know you, so it's too soon for me to judge. I did notice you've had your lipstick on your teeth every time I've seen you so far. I think you're a nice person though and I appreciate you helping us out." He said. Millie rubbed her front teeth with her finger and nodded at him. "Mom." She said. Tim shook his head. He looked so frustrated.
9:57 AM Christina said... "I think you are a good person and have helped a lot. I couldn't think of anything negative to say." She said. Tim cleard his throat. My dad went next. "You are incredibly bias against men and young people. You seem to make my wife feel better though." He said. "Okay. This is rediculous! What is your point with all this, please?" Tim asked. "My point is that faults you see and hate in other people are often flaws you can't stand in yourself." She said. "You are always slightly off. I see where you are going with this, but you didn't quite get there." I told her. "I agree." Tim said. "Just bare with me here, please. Next is your mother's turn. Tim, we'll start with you. He just sighed.
10:46 AM Sarah said... "I love that you love us enough to set this thing up, but I don't think it's helping at all." Tim said. "Christopher." Millie said. "Mom, I love you for trying too, but I'm not sure if this is helping. I am willing to give it a chance though unlike Ally and Tim." He said. "Allison." Millie said. "It bothers me very much that you aren't more upset with Dad." I said. "No offence." I said looking at Dad. "But, I appreciate you trying to get us all through this."
11:19 AM Christina said... It was my dads turn. "I'd rather not go. I don't feel I'm at all in the position of saying anything negative." He said. "Please, just one thing." Millie said, and he sighed. "Fine." He said, and turned to my mom. "You never get angry. You never speak up. You always let people walk all over you. But, I've never met anyone so caring, or so loving of other people, complete strangers sometimes, then you." He said.
11:43 AM Sarah said... "Now that we're all in crappy moods from hearing several negative comments about ourselves, what's next? Are we going to beat eachother with bats?" Tim asked frustrated. I tried to hold in my laughter, but I couldn't. "We are still waiting on Christopher to say something positive about you." Millie said. Everyone looked at Christopher. He rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair. "I guess he's caring and he must take after Mom, because he lets people walk all over him too." Christopher said. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Tim asked him. "I've never done anything bad to you!" "Let's take a ten minute break and we'll continue with our next exercise." Millie said. Tim stood up and stormed out of the room.
11:54 AM Christina said... I got up and almost followed him, but decided to just let him be. I was surprised she wanted to keep going! I was tired, and had a lot of homework to do that night. I was also starving. After about 10 minutes I walked back in. Tim and Christopher were still missing. They walked in a minute later and sat down. "Mom, would you mind continuing this later? I'm tired, hungry, and have a bunch of homework to get done." I said.
12:11 PM Sarah said... "Yes we can do that." She said smiling. "Fine with me." Millie said smiling. I gave everyone a hug and left. I had to rush to meet up with Shawn.
12:19 PM Christina said... I hadn't eatin all day and I was starving! I didn't have time to stop and get food though. I rushed to the library and didn't see Shawn anywhere. I walked inside and saw him getting ready to leave. "Sorry I'm late. Family stuff." I told him. "Hey, don't worry about it. I was just packing up to go take this over to the Benny's sports lounge. It's pretty slow durning the week, so when I get hungry I'll take my work there." He said. "Wanna go?" He asked. "Please! I'm starving! I havn't eatin all day!" I told him. On the way there I told him about Millie.
1:01 PM Sarah said... "Everyone has their own way of doing things. It sounds like she is starting out in a strange way though." He said. "Just a little." I said laughing.
1:48 PM Christina said... "It's just nothing she does adds up or makes sense. I just want it to be over with." I told him. "I'm sure it will be soon." He said, and pulled into the parking lot. I helped him gather some of his books and paperwork and we walked in and were seated. We ordered a couple appetizers, and then got to work.
2:23 PM Sarah said... "So, during the seminar, would you like to speak too? Or just observe?" He asked. "You want me to speak?" I asked excited. "Yeah. I guess I didn't make that very clear in the beginning." He said. "I would love to!" I said. I waved down the waitress and she walked over. "Two beers." I said smiling. Shawn laughed. "Wow. I'm glad you're excited." He said.
2:53 PM Christina said... "Are you kidding? I'm excited by this stuff, and I love speaking. Wow. What will I be speaking on?" I asked him. "I don't know yet. The seminar is in a few weeks. I'll let you know the exact day and everything when I find out. We'll keep working on this, and see what you feel the most passionate about." He said. "Thank you so much for this." I told him, and he smiled. "Of course! Thank you for working with me on it. You make the whole thing a lot easier. You'll be great one day." He said.
3:16 PM Sarah said... "I'm great now." I said giggling. "Yes you are." He said smiling. I loved how he made me feel about myself and I loved how smart he was. I realized I was staring at him and quickly turned to look at the people dancing near the bar. We talked about the seminar, then started talking about other random things. We each had one too many beers. We both shared so many of the same interests and views. We just kept drinking and talking without realizing how many drinks we were going through. He paid the tab when we realized we had gone through a pitcher and two beers each. "I'll call a cab for you." He said. "What about you?" I asked. "I'll call one for me too." He said. "Don't be silly." I said laughing. "What do you suggest we do? Neither of us can drive. I think a cab is the best option." He said. "Yes, but. . ." I said taking his hand. "I say we just take one cab to your place." He laughed and let go of my hand. "Uh. . . is that the best idea?" He asked. "I think it is." I said smiling. "Um. . . yes. Yes, I think that's doable." He said. "You mean I'm doable?" I asked. He blushed. "I'm just joking. Sorry, I'm drunk." He laughed and leaned over the table close to me. "But yes you are definatly doable." He whispered. "Better than just doable though. . ."
3:46 PM Christina said... "Better?" I asked. "Yeah. I kinda have a little crush on you." He said, and I giggled. "So, what'll it be?" I asked him. "I really want to go back to my place, but I don't know if we should. I mean, what if someone finds out? And, what if it leads to more of a romance? Should we just wait untill you aren't my student anymore?" He asked. "I guess we should, but I don't know if I can." I told him. "Me either." He whispered, and kissed my cheek. "Whoa, careful! We aren't that far from campus." I told him. "Sorry. Come on, lets go." He said.
4:05 PM Sarah said... He called us each a cab and we went home seperatly. I went to Tristin's dorm and knocked on the door. She opened it and I ran in. She started laughing at me. "Are you drunk?" She asked. "Maybe!" I said laughing. "I was with Mr. Bore." "You're one crazy girl." She said.
4:38 PM Christina said... "We didn't DO anything!" I said, and started laughing. "And why is that?" She asked. "Because. It's wrong." I sighed, and layed down on her bed. She sat next to me laughing. "You are so funny." I told her. "No YOU are! Drunky!" She shouted. "I'm crazy." I sighed. "Why are you crazy?" She asked me. "Look at me. I'm insane. I fall in love with professors at the drop of a hat. Even if it means giving up a hottie like Matt, or a sweetheart like Todd." I said.
7:55 PM Sarah said... "Maybe the smart sophisticated guys are more your type." She said. "I wonder about that a lot." I said. "Well, why don't you start looking at guys in your classes? There has to be some cute ones." She said. "I've never payed attention." I said. "So start paying attention. I bet they'll have everything you you're looking for." She said. "You always have the best ideas." I said smiling. She pulled a bottle of tequila out of the top drawer in her dresser and took a big sip. "I'm gonna catch up to you and we'll have a night of girl talk." She said. "And skip first hour?" I asked. She laughed. "Definatly."
9:17 PM Christina said... "Good!" I said, and we both laughed. It didn't take her long to catch up to me. I even took a few sips just to stay drunk. "So how are things with you and Brian?" I asked her. We were both laying on her floor looking up at the ceiling. "Great. I love him so much. I can't help but wonder if I'm missing out on dating in college though." She said. "Don't be silly! You two are so amazing for each other!" I told her.
9:05 AM Sarah said... "We'll see. We're still taking things slow." She said. "That's good. Rushing can be bad." I said. "Yup!" She said. She started laughing really hard and it made me laugh too.
9:22 AM Christina said... "What is so funny?" She asked me. "I don't know! You started laughing first!" I shouted. We spent most of the night like that. It was always fun to spend time with Tristin. I just slept in her dorm. The next morning we woke up and realized we had slept through our first two classes. "FUCK!" I woke up to Tristin shouting. "What?" I asked, yawning. She started laughing. "We ditched our second class too." She said, then I started laughing. "All well. We weren't doing anything important in mine. Just a review, but I alreay know all that stuff." I told her. "I don't think we were doing anything importang in mine either." She said.
10:21 AM Sarah said... I decided to take the rest of the day off to study. I studied all afternoon and went to bed early. The next morning, I woke up on time and got ready. When I got to Shawn's class, it was full and I got stuck sitting in the front. "Okay." He said to the class. "I'm going to put you in groups of two to come up with a presentaion." He said. "I'll just go town the attendance chart alphabetically." He started reading off names, I looked up when he called my name. "Allison Shere and Noah Squillaro." He said. I had no idea who Noah was. I grabbed my books and stood up. A guy walked over to me and sat down at the desk behind me. He was a little taller than me and he wore glasses. He was very clean cut. He was wearing a white collared shirt and blue jeans. "I'm Noah." He said. I turned around facing him and smiled. He was very cute. "I'm Ally." "I already know a lot of this shit, so if you want, I can write up the presentation." He said. I smiled. "I know a lot of it too." I said. "Great, then. This should be a breeze." He said. "You can come to my apartment if you want tonight. I'm pretty sure we could have it all written in one night. I have a huge dog though, so if you have a fear of dogs, then you might want another place to meet up." I giggled. "I have no problems with dogs, so your apartment it is." I said. He got a peice of paper and wrote down directions to his apartment. "It's in North Palisades. Just call me from the gate and I'll let you in." "North Palisades?" I asked. He sighed. "Yeah." North Palisades was in the middle of the wealthiest neighborhoods in town. "A rich boy, hu?" I asked smiling. He laughed. "Yeah, but let's keep that on the down low." He said.
12:03 PM Christina said... "The down low it is." I told him. "So, what should our presentation be about?" I asked him. "We can figure that out tonight." He said. "Okay, but then what are we going to do in class today?" I asked. He shrugged. "What kind of psychology are you into?" He asked. "Well, all of it? I guess mostly behavioral stuff. The scientifc aspect is pretty intersting too." I told him. We spent the rest of the class talking about what we both liked. Before we knew it, class was over. "So, what time should I stop by? I asked him. "Uh, 6:00 okay? I'll order some pizza." He said. "Sounds good. I'll you see you then." I told him, and we both went to our next class.
12:31 PM Sarah said... There was a tiny middle eastern man standing at the podeum. "I za sub. . . sub. . . subs. . . substute. Subsitute." He said. "I call Roll." He went through the names and none of us had any idea what names he was saying, so everyone just kept saying here. I couldn't stop laughing either. "Zuns to pege zo." He said. "What?" A guy asked. "T-t-t-t-t-oo." He said. "Oh page two." I said out loud.
12:36 PM Christina said... "Shhhh. Quizet!" He shouted at me. It made me and a bunch of other people laugh. "K, you zead den!" He shouted at me. I read most of the chapter before he finally stopped me. "Good. Now Dizcuss!" He said. We all just sat there not sure what he wanted us to do. "Diz,,,diz cuss. Pleaze." He said. Everyone turned to people next to him and started talking. The guy next to me tapped my shoulder. "Hey, nice reading." He said, and I giggled. "I was trying not to laugh the whole time!" I told him.
1:06 PM Sarah said... "I'm Tre." He said. I smiled. "I'm Ally." I studied him when he turned to look at the clock on the wall. He had light blond hair. It was shaved, but a little longer in the front. I thought it looked a little weird, but he was still hot. He was wearing a dark blue dress shirt with a black tie. I kept looking at him the rest of the class. The bell rang and he leaned over the desk towards me. "That shirt is awesome." He said quietly. He got up and left the classroom. I looked down at my shirt. It was just a plain green shirt with a daisy embroidered on the bottom right side. I smiled as I picked up my books and walked to my dorm. I set my things down and rushed to Tristin's room. She wasn't there though. I was so anxious to tell her I had met two hot guys.
1:23 PM Christina said... I tried to call her, but she didn't answer. My next class went by pretty fast. I was anxious to go see Noah, so I rushed back to my dorm to get ready. I knocked on Tristins door and she answered it this time. "GUESS WHAT!" I shouted, and barged in her room. "What?" She asked. I told her all about Noah and Tre. "Oh! I'm so doing your hair! And picking you out an outfit!" She said, and I started laughing.
1:27 PM Sarah said... "You're driving through White Garden. That's like the Beverly Hills of Maryland." She said. "And you're taking my Mustang." "Tristin." I said. She laughed. "You can't drive your old Nissan through there. You'll probably get pulled over for sticking out like a sore thumb." She said. I sighed. "Whatever." I said laughing. She insisted on doing my hair and makeup. Then she made me wear one of her red strapless dresses. "We're just doing homework." I said. She laughed. "Well, now you fit in with those people. You look amazing. Like a million bucks." She said. "Okay." I said. "Thanks for your help." She handed me the keys to her car. "Thanks." I said taking them from her. "Will you take pictures while you drive through White Garden?" She asked excited. "Driving my car will make me stick out like a sore thumb, but taking pictures as I'm driving through town won't?" I asked laughing. "True." She said smiling. "Go." She said pushing me out the door. I got my books and went to her car, then headed to his apartments. The drive through White Garden was amazing. It was so beautiful. There were so many shops and people stuck up people walking down the streets with their dogs and high heels. I was hoping to see one of those ladies trip and fall, but I didn't get that lucky. I reached his apartments and called him from the gate and he let me in.
1:42 PM Christina said... "Wow. You take studying seriously." He said, when he opened his apartment door. It looked more like a condo to me. "Sorry. My friend insisted." I said, and he laughed. "Well, you look very nice. Come on in." He said. The aparment was huge! It was a three bedroom, and he lived by himself. One of the rooms was a guest room, and the other was a computer/game room. The whole place was amazing, and decorated really nice. He took my bag from me, and set it next to his gigantic black leather couch. There was a big coffee table in the middle of the floor, and he had pillows around it to sit on. "Nice place." I said, looking around. "Thanks. I hate it. My parents insisted on it." He said. I don't think he liked being rich. "So, I thought you had a dog." I told him. "Yeah. Cujo is on the patio." He said. "Cujo?" I asked. "Yeah! Come see him!" He said. He took me through the kitchen and pulled open the blinds. His patio was more like a small back yard! I couldn't believe this place! There was a huge mutt of some kind sleeping on the concrete.
1:52 PM Sarah said... "That's my boy." He said. "He's cute." I said smiling. "Okay, so the pizza should be here soon." He said. "Okay." I said. We walked back out to the living room. He grabbed a remote and pushed a button. A huge screen came down from the ceiling. "Oh, sorry. Does TV distract you when you study?" He asked. I looked at him. "Not at all." I said. "Oh you had a look on your face like I was crazy." He said laughing. "I like your TV." I said staring at it as he turned it on. He laughed. "I forget most people don't have all this crazy shit." He said. He turned on VH1 and a music video was on. The sound was awesome!
1:57 PM Christina said... "Wow. This is insane!" I told him. "Yeah. It is. Sometimes I wish I didn't have it all though." He said. "Why is that?" I asked him. He shrugged. "Lets get started, shall we?" He asked. "Absolutely." I told him. He sat down on one of the pillows on the floor. I sat down on one next to him, and had a little trouble in the dress, but I managed. We pulled out a bunch of books, and jotted down some of the things we had discussed in class earlier in the day.
2:21 PM Sarah said... This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
2:34 PM Sarah said... After about a half hour, there was a knock on his door. He sighed and stood up. He walked over to the door and opened it. Three guys walked into the apartment. "Dude Julie Miller got fucking huge." One of the guys said. They all laughed. "Her butt is the size of Mississippi." He said laughing. "Uh. . . guys, I'm kinda busy." Noah said tilting his head my way. They all looked at me. "We were gonna head over to the golf course hoping we'd get caught again after hours." Another guy said. "Remember how fun it was to run from security?" Noah laughed. "Yeah. I can't tonight though." He said.
2:35 PM Christina said... "Yeah, Yeah. Ditch us for the pretty lady." The guys said. "Next time." Noah said. "Are you ACTUALY studying? You are so lame!" One of the other guys said. "I've never denied that. Now do you mind?" He asked, trying to push them out. "Maybe she wants to go too!" The first guy said, and looked at me. "Big project." I said, pointing at all the books. "Fine! We'll leave!" He said, and they all turned to leave, gut the pizza guy showed up right then. "Dude! PIZZA!" one of them shouted.
2:49 PM Sarah said... "Steve, come on." Noah said. They each took a peice and left. Noah closed the door. "Sorry about that." He said. "No problem at all." I said. He went to the kitchen and came back with two plates of pizza. He handed me one. "And here." He said handing me a napkin. "Thanks." I said smiling.
3:08 PM Christina said... "So, are you from around here?" He asked. "Yeah. I live about 10-15 minutes from campus. I have my whole life." I told him. "Cool. My parents, and grandparents, and tons of other relatives all live in houses throughout this area." He said. "Neat." I said. "NOt really. I hate it here. I love Maryland, but I hate this area. Its full of snobs and assholes." He said, and I laughed. When we finished eating we started to work on our presentation. "SO, what'll it be about?" I asked him.
3:21 PM Sarah said... This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
3:33 PM Sarah said... "Maybe we shouldn't have decided to work on this so late." He said. I giggled. "I think you're crazy for not liking all of this." I said. He shrugged his shoulders. "I guess the grass is always greener on the other side." I said. "It is." He said. "Hey, would you like a drink?" "Sure." I said smiling. He stood up. "You can have anything you want from the bar. It's full of shit." He said. "Are you a wine person? I've got a lot of that too." "A beer is fine." I said. "Beer?" He asked looking surprised. I laughed. "Just not use to a girl wanting that." He said. He pulled a bottle of red wine off of his wine rack. "Try this." He said as he poured a little into a small class. He set it down in front of me and watched me sip it. It was really good. "That's really good." I said. "It's Italian. It's called Lambrusco." He said. "Would you like a glass?" "Yes, thank you." I said.
3:55 PM Christina said... This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
4:11 PM Christina said... This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
4:23 PM Christina said... "Of course." He told me and poured me a full glass, then poured himself one. "So, are you avoiding working on this?" I asked him. "Sorry. I'm just used to doing these things by myself. I just want to make sure I get a good score." He told me. "Well, fear not. I'm really good at this stuff." I told him. "Oh really?" He asked. "Yes, really! In fact I'm helping Prof. Bore on an upcoming seminar." I told him. "Really? Well, my apologies for not wanting to work on this earlier." He said. "How about we do it on developmental psychology? I havn't done anything on that yet, and we both seemed interested in discussing it in class today." I suggested. "Perfect idea!" He said, and held out his glass to make a toast.
4:24 PM Sarah said... I smiled. He just sat there staring at me. "Yes?" I asked. "Go ahead." He said. I giggled. "I don't know what to say." I said. He put his glass down. "Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow night?" He asked. "Really?" I asked. "Yeah. You seem normal." He said. He smiled. "And you're a pretty girl." I smiled. "Thank you. I'd love to have dinner with you." I said. "Cool. Dress nice. I'm taking you to a fancy place." He said.
4:30 PM Christina said... "How nice?" I asked. "Like something you have on now would be perfect." He said. "Okay. I can't wait." I said, smiling. "You're cute. You're blushing." He said. "Sorry. I do that." I told him. "No, I like it. It is cute." He said. "Thanks." I told him. We had a couple more glasses of wine and worked on our presentation some more.
4:38 PM Sarah said... When it got pretty late, I packed up my books and got ready to head back home. "See you in class tomorrow." I said. "Alright. Have a good night." He said opening the door. I stepped out. "Bye." I said waving. He smiled and I left. I heard him close his door once I got to the parking lot.
10:22 AM Christina said... I drove home and went right to bed. I was excited to get to class the next morning to see Noah and Tre. I dressed a little cuter then normal, and spent time getting my makeup and hair done. After that I grabbed my books and headed to class. When class started Shawn had us split back up into our groups. Noah came right over and sat next to me. I cold smell cologne on him.
10:49 AM Sarah said... We chatted throughout the class about our families. I found out that his Grandfather is a retired actor and his mother was on General Hospital for twenty years. He said he doesn't normally tell people that though, so not to tell anyone. He has an older sister that lives in California and designs purses. He told me I should go with him to California some time and he would take me to one of the really nice clubs where you run into celebrities. I didn't have much to tell him about my family. I left out what was going on with my parents.
1:14 PM Christina said... He kept putting his hand on my arm the whole time! It was so cute. I kept getting more and more excited about going to dinner with him. When class was over he walked out with me. He ended up walking me all the way to my next class just so we could continue talking. "Your're going to be so late!" I told him, when we got to my next class. "I know. I don't care. I'm having fun talking to you." He said. It made me smile. "Well, I like talking to you too, but you better get your butt to class." I told him. "If you insist. I'll see you later, okay!" He said, and hugged me. I watched him walk away so I could stare at his butt. When he turned the corner I went into my next class. The substitute was still there. I walked in and saw an open seat next to Tre, so I walked over to him. "Seat taken?" I asked him. "It is now. Have a seat." He said.
1:21 PM Sarah said... I smiled and sat down. "This class blows." He whispered. I laughed. "I've blown off this class too many times though. And now that I'm ready to pay attention and focus, the teacher isn't even here." I said. He smiled and leaned back in his seat. "You have the coolest clothes." He said. "Thanks." I said. "Last week you wore that long jean skirt with red sandles." He said. I just smiled. I had no idea what to say. "I thought it was really hot." He said. I smiled. "Thanks."
3:13 PM Christina said... "Sorry! I'm not gay or wierd or anything. I just notice these things." He said, and I laughed. "Isn't it time for class to start?" I asked. "Yeah. Where did the sub go? He was just standing there." He said. "I don't know. Maybe he's a ninja." I said, and Tre laughed. "Yeah, maybe.
3:32 PM Sarah said... A lady walked into the room. "Class is cancelled today. Your sub had a family emergency and we have nobody to replace him." She said. "Right on!" Tre shouted. She gave him a dirty look. He stood up. "I will see you late." He said smiling and pointing at me. He left the classroom quickly. I laughed. Everyone got up and left. I decided to go to the library to study.
3:34 PM Christina said... I was surprised to see Matt in there. I ducked behind a shelf of books real quick, and avoided him. When he passed, I walked over to an empty table and pulled out all my books. I decided to work on the paper that hadn't even been assigned yet for the class I just had. It was interesting, so I figured getting a head start on it wouldn't hurt. I was really into it, so I didn't even notice that more then an hour had gone by. I looked up to give my eyes a break and I saw Matt sitting at a table near by. I laughed at the thought that he must have seen me sitting there. I guess he was avoiding me too.
3:42 PM Sarah said... I kept looking up at him. It looked like he was skimming through a book and taking notes. He had his headphones on too and he was tapping his foot to the music. He looked so cute. I started to feel bad for the way things ended with us. I packed up my backpack and walked over to him. He didn't notice me standing there, so I tapped his shoulder. He looked up at me and paused his music. He took his headphones off and continued writing. I sat down across from him at the table. "How are you doing?" I asked smiling as I put my hand over his. He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. "I'm doing okay, I guess." He said. "Still clean?" I asked. He laughed and pulled his hand away from mine. "Nope." He said. "Oh." I said. "It's all I've got to mend my wounds." He said. "Aww Matt." I said. "You really hurt me." He said. "I know and I feel awful. I really do. I miss you a lot too." I said. "Don't." He said. "Just don't." He put his headphones back on and turned on his music. He looked at me again and stared at me for a second, then looked back at his book.
4:02 PM Christina said... I didn't know what to do. I really wanted to talk to him, but I figured I couldn't make him forgive me. I sighed and stood up, and started walking away. I walke by him and he reached out and grabbed my arm. I stopped and he took his headphones back off. "I'm still very, very angry with you. About everything. I'm sorry, but I can't forgive you yet. I don't know if I ever can." He said. "I understand." I told him. He put his headphones back on, and I turned and walked away to go to my next class.
4:08 PM Sarah said... I felt like crying. I tried so hard not to. I went to the bathroom to freshen up my make up, then went to class.
4:18 PM Christina said... My next class was incredibly boring. I was also upset about Matt, so I was having a lot of trouble concentrating. When it was over I went back to my dorm and layed down to take a nap. I had just started to fall asleep when I remembered I was suposed to be going do dinner with Noah. I sighed, and got back out of bed and got ready. He called while I was blow drying my hair, but he left a message telling me to meet him in front of the library at 6:30.
10:38 PM Sarah said... I got ready slowly. I wasn't in a good mood, so I was hoping the night wouldn't last long. I just wanted to go to sleep. When I was finally ready, I walked to the library to meet him.
10:41 PM Christina said... He was there waiting, and he looked really nice! He smiled, and waved when he saw me. "You look great!" He said, hugging me, and kissing my cheek. "Thanks. You look good yourself." I told him. "Are you ready?" He asked. "Yeah." I said. "Are you okay?" He asked me. "Yeah. I just havn't gotten much sleep the last few days. Family stuff." I explained. "I'm sorry. Would you like to do this another night?" He asked. "No. Tonight is fine. Lets just not stay out too late?" "Sure thing." He walked me to his car, a very nice, brand new, BMW. He opened my door for me, and I climbed in.
10:47 PM Sarah said... He closed the door and walked around to the driver side and got in. He turned off the radio and pulled out of the school.
10:11 PM Christina said... He drove to a nice area that was close to where he lived, and pulled up to this really fancy Italian restaurant. There was even valet parking. He gave one of the guys his keys, and then we walked inside.
2:41 PM Sarah said... He had reservations, so we got seated right away. Our table was off to the side and more private. A waiter walked over to us and poured us each a glass of wine. "Our specialty house wine." He said smiling and walked away. "This is so nice." I said. "I'm glad you think so." He said.
2:52 PM Christina said... "I've never been somewhere so fancy." I told him. "Is it too much?" He asked, sounding kind of nervous. "No! Not at all. It's amazing, just not what I'm used to." I told him, and he smiled. "Good. Sometimes I'm not sure if it's too much." He said, and smiled. I just smiled back and then looked over the menu.
10:49 AM Sarah said... "If you like fish, you should try it here. It's awesome." He said. I smiled. "That sounds very good right now, actually." I said. "Cool." He said. Our waiter walked back over to us. "We'll take two of the Broiled Fish with Lemon Sauce." He said as he handed the waiter the menu's. "And two waters please." "Coming right up." The waiter said. "My name is Chris. I'll be your server for the night." "Thank you." He said smiling. The waiter walked away and he turned to me. He took my hands in his and stared at me. "You have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen." He said. I giggled. "Thank you." "You're shy, aren't you?" He said smirking. I shrugged my shoulders, then nodded. "I could tell." He said. "Unless, you're talking about school work. When you're talking about school work, you are one talker." I laughed. "Yeah." "So, I guess having all of this stuff isn't so bad. I guess at times, I just get sick of it." He said. "Makes sence." I said. "Wait till you meet my family." He said sighing. I laughed. "They can't be so bad." "They're very set in their ways. I'll put it that way." He said. "My Mother is so picky about everything in the house being perfect, she has a new maid every time I go there. She is firing them and hiring new ones all the time." "Well, I can't wait to see their house. It must be amazing." I said. "Yeah, it is really nice. I do miss living there and be waited on hand and foot." He laughed as he picked up his glass of wine. "But, I like living on my own too." He said.
11:00 AM Christina said... I picked up my glass of wine to take a sip. "Here, wait." Noah said. "Let me show you how to really taste wine the first time you sip it. Hold it like this." He demonstrated. "And give it a slight swirl. Then you smell it, and take a sip." I giggled, and gave it a try. "Wow, this wine is really good." I told him.
11:30 AM Sarah said... "Isn't it?" He asked smiling. Chris walked over to us and handed us each a water and some bread and butter. "Thanks." I said. He smiled and walked away. I cut some bread and put it on my plate. I took a bite out of it and it was delicious.
12:31 PM Christina said... "What?" Noah asked. "This is really good!" I said with my mouth full. He laughed. "Sorry." I said, after I swollowed my food. "Hey, don't worry about it. Your fun." He told me. "Thanks. So what are you going to school for?" I asked him.
2:36 PM Sarah said... "I would like to be a Psychologist." He said. "Oh cool. I still havn't decided if I want to go that long yet." I said. "Yeah, it's a lot of time, work and money." He said. I smiled. "Yeah." "Here you are." Chris said setting our food down in front of us. It smelled so good!

"Okay. Tim's turn. Ally, we'll start with you." Millie said.
"Tim, I hated when you dropped out of school and just left us all. I don't like how you think you are stupid, or not good enough. I've always looked up to you because I think you are incredibly smart, and a really caring person." I said. Tim looked shocked. I don't think he was expecting to hear that from me. Christopher went next.
4:23 PM
Sarah said...
"You said you didn't like how Ally avoided the family. Well, you up and left and didn't even call us until you decided to come back." He said. "Also, I don't understand how you can be so understanding with whole Ariana situation. She's probably just going to do the same thing again."
"Something good?" Millie asked.
"No." He said.
"Christopher?" Mom asked.
"I'm done, Mom." He said.
Tim looked shocked and bothered. "Oh and you treat me like your my father." He added.
"Christopher!" Mom shouted.
"It's true." He said madly.
4:31 PM
Christina said...
"It's okay. We're here to settle these issues. Christopher, please think of something positive, and we will come back to you at the end." Millie said. It was my Mom's turn to go.
"I don't like how you never call me mom. I always feel like you have never realy accepted me. I'm very grateful how understanding and caring you've been through this whole situation though. It has made me second guess me original thoughts." She said. Then it was my dads turn.
4:35 PM
Sarah said...
"I think it's great that you're taking care of your responsibilities with Ariana and Aubry, but I feel the same way as Christopher does. You're acting as if she never did anything wrong." He said.
Tim sighed. "Excuse me for loving her." He said.
"Okay, let's take a slight break from the family issues and talk about me." She said. "Then, I'll let you know what I've observed about all of you and we'll move onto talking about Mom."
7:43 AM
Christina said...
"Tim. We'll start wih you." She said.
"You try to act smart, and come off sounding idiotic. Just be yourself. As for something positive...You dress nice." He said.
"Ally, you're next." She told me.
"You try to make people feel dumb. You do make me think though, wich is something not everyone can do." I told her. Christopher was next.
8:38 AM
Sarah said...
"I don't know you, so it's too soon for me to judge. I did notice you've had your lipstick on your teeth every time I've seen you so far. I think you're a nice person though and I appreciate you helping us out." He said.
Millie rubbed her front teeth with her finger and nodded at him. "Mom." She said.
Tim shook his head. He looked so frustrated.
9:57 AM
Christina said...
"I think you are a good person and have helped a lot. I couldn't think of anything negative to say." She said. Tim cleard his throat. My dad went next.
"You are incredibly bias against men and young people. You seem to make my wife feel better though." He said.
"Okay. This is rediculous! What is your point with all this, please?" Tim asked.
"My point is that faults you see and hate in other people are often flaws you can't stand in yourself." She said.
"You are always slightly off. I see where you are going with this, but you didn't quite get there." I told her.
"I agree." Tim said.
"Just bare with me here, please. Next is your mother's turn. Tim, we'll start with you. He just sighed.
10:46 AM
Sarah said...
"I love that you love us enough to set this thing up, but I don't think it's helping at all." Tim said.
"Christopher." Millie said.
"Mom, I love you for trying too, but I'm not sure if this is helping. I am willing to give it a chance though unlike Ally and Tim." He said.
"Allison." Millie said.
"It bothers me very much that you aren't more upset with Dad." I said. "No offence." I said looking at Dad. "But, I appreciate you trying to get us all through this."
11:19 AM
Christina said...
It was my dads turn.
"I'd rather not go. I don't feel I'm at all in the position of saying anything negative." He said.
"Please, just one thing." Millie said, and he sighed.
"Fine." He said, and turned to my mom.
"You never get angry. You never speak up. You always let people walk all over you. But, I've never met anyone so caring, or so loving of other people, complete strangers sometimes, then you." He said.
11:43 AM
Sarah said...
"Now that we're all in crappy moods from hearing several negative comments about ourselves, what's next? Are we going to beat eachother with bats?" Tim asked frustrated. I tried to hold in my laughter, but I couldn't. "We are still waiting on Christopher to say something positive about you." Millie said.
Everyone looked at Christopher. He rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair. "I guess he's caring and he must take after Mom, because he lets people walk all over him too." Christopher said.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Tim asked him. "I've never done anything bad to you!"
"Let's take a ten minute break and we'll continue with our next exercise." Millie said.
Tim stood up and stormed out of the room.
11:54 AM
Christina said...
I got up and almost followed him, but decided to just let him be. I was surprised she wanted to keep going! I was tired, and had a lot of homework to do that night. I was also starving. After about 10 minutes I walked back in. Tim and Christopher were still missing. They walked in a minute later and sat down.
"Mom, would you mind continuing this later? I'm tired, hungry, and have a bunch of homework to get done." I said.
12:11 PM
Sarah said...
"Yes we can do that." She said smiling.
"Fine with me." Millie said smiling. I gave everyone a hug and left. I had to rush to meet up with Shawn.
12:19 PM
Christina said...
I hadn't eatin all day and I was starving! I didn't have time to stop and get food though. I rushed to the library and didn't see Shawn anywhere. I walked inside and saw him getting ready to leave.
"Sorry I'm late. Family stuff." I told him.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I was just packing up to go take this over to the Benny's sports lounge. It's pretty slow durning the week, so when I get hungry I'll take my work there." He said. "Wanna go?" He asked.
"Please! I'm starving! I havn't eatin all day!" I told him. On the way there I told him about Millie.
1:01 PM
Sarah said...
"Everyone has their own way of doing things. It sounds like she is starting out in a strange way though." He said.
"Just a little." I said laughing.
1:48 PM
Christina said...
"It's just nothing she does adds up or makes sense. I just want it to be over with." I told him.
"I'm sure it will be soon." He said, and pulled into the parking lot. I helped him gather some of his books and paperwork and we walked in and were seated. We ordered a couple appetizers, and then got to work.
2:23 PM
Sarah said...
"So, during the seminar, would you like to speak too? Or just observe?" He asked.
"You want me to speak?" I asked excited.
"Yeah. I guess I didn't make that very clear in the beginning." He said.
"I would love to!" I said. I waved down the waitress and she walked over. "Two beers." I said smiling. Shawn laughed. "Wow. I'm glad you're excited." He said.
2:53 PM
Christina said...
"Are you kidding? I'm excited by this stuff, and I love speaking. Wow. What will I be speaking on?" I asked him.
"I don't know yet. The seminar is in a few weeks. I'll let you know the exact day and everything when I find out. We'll keep working on this, and see what you feel the most passionate about." He said.
"Thank you so much for this." I told him, and he smiled.
"Of course! Thank you for working with me on it. You make the whole thing a lot easier. You'll be great one day." He said.
3:16 PM
Sarah said...
"I'm great now." I said giggling.
"Yes you are." He said smiling.
I loved how he made me feel about myself and I loved how smart he was. I realized I was staring at him and quickly turned to look at the people dancing near the bar. We talked about the seminar, then started talking about other random things. We each had one too many beers. We both shared so many of the same interests and views. We just kept drinking and talking without realizing how many drinks we were going through. He paid the tab when we realized we had gone through a pitcher and two beers each. "I'll call a cab for you." He said.
"What about you?" I asked.
"I'll call one for me too." He said.
"Don't be silly." I said laughing.
"What do you suggest we do? Neither of us can drive. I think a cab is the best option." He said.
"Yes, but. . ." I said taking his hand. "I say we just take one cab to your place."
He laughed and let go of my hand. "Uh. . . is that the best idea?" He asked.
"I think it is." I said smiling.
"Um. . . yes. Yes, I think that's doable." He said.
"You mean I'm doable?" I asked. He blushed. "I'm just joking. Sorry, I'm drunk."
He laughed and leaned over the table close to me. "But yes you are definatly doable." He whispered. "Better than just doable though. . ."
3:46 PM
Christina said...
"Better?" I asked.
"Yeah. I kinda have a little crush on you." He said, and I giggled.
"So, what'll it be?" I asked him.
"I really want to go back to my place, but I don't know if we should. I mean, what if someone finds out? And, what if it leads to more of a romance? Should we just wait untill you aren't my student anymore?" He asked.
"I guess we should, but I don't know if I can." I told him.
"Me either." He whispered, and kissed my cheek.
"Whoa, careful! We aren't that far from campus." I told him.
"Sorry. Come on, lets go." He said.
4:05 PM
Sarah said...
He called us each a cab and we went home seperatly. I went to Tristin's dorm and knocked on the door. She opened it and I ran in. She started laughing at me. "Are you drunk?" She asked.
"Maybe!" I said laughing. "I was with Mr. Bore."
"You're one crazy girl." She said.
4:38 PM
Christina said...
"We didn't DO anything!" I said, and started laughing.
"And why is that?" She asked.
"Because. It's wrong." I sighed, and layed down on her bed. She sat next to me laughing.
"You are so funny." I told her.
"No YOU are! Drunky!" She shouted.
"I'm crazy." I sighed.
"Why are you crazy?" She asked me.
"Look at me. I'm insane. I fall in love with professors at the drop of a hat. Even if it means giving up a hottie like Matt, or a sweetheart like Todd." I said.
7:55 PM
Sarah said...
"Maybe the smart sophisticated guys are more your type." She said.
"I wonder about that a lot." I said.
"Well, why don't you start looking at guys in your classes? There has to be some cute ones." She said.
"I've never payed attention." I said.
"So start paying attention. I bet they'll have everything you you're looking for." She said.
"You always have the best ideas." I said smiling.
She pulled a bottle of tequila out of the top drawer in her dresser and took a big sip. "I'm gonna catch up to you and we'll have a night of girl talk." She said.
"And skip first hour?" I asked.
She laughed. "Definatly."
9:17 PM
Christina said...
"Good!" I said, and we both laughed. It didn't take her long to catch up to me. I even took a few sips just to stay drunk.
"So how are things with you and Brian?" I asked her. We were both laying on her floor looking up at the ceiling.
"Great. I love him so much. I can't help but wonder if I'm missing out on dating in college though." She said.
"Don't be silly! You two are so amazing for each other!" I told her.
9:05 AM
Sarah said...
"We'll see. We're still taking things slow." She said.
"That's good. Rushing can be bad." I said.
"Yup!" She said. She started laughing really hard and it made me laugh too.
9:22 AM
Christina said...
"What is so funny?" She asked me.
"I don't know! You started laughing first!" I shouted. We spent most of the night like that. It was always fun to spend time with Tristin. I just slept in her dorm. The next morning we woke up and realized we had slept through our first two classes.
"FUCK!" I woke up to Tristin shouting.
"What?" I asked, yawning. She started laughing.
"We ditched our second class too." She said, then I started laughing.
"All well. We weren't doing anything important in mine. Just a review, but I alreay know all that stuff." I told her.
"I don't think we were doing anything importang in mine either." She said.
10:21 AM
Sarah said...
I decided to take the rest of the day off to study. I studied all afternoon and went to bed early. The next morning, I woke up on time and got ready. When I got to Shawn's class, it was full and I got stuck sitting in the front. "Okay." He said to the class. "I'm going to put you in groups of two to come up with a presentaion." He said. "I'll just go town the attendance chart alphabetically."
He started reading off names, I looked up when he called my name. "Allison Shere and Noah Squillaro." He said. I had no idea who Noah was. I grabbed my books and stood up. A guy walked over to me and sat down at the desk behind me. He was a little taller than me and he wore glasses. He was very clean cut. He was wearing a white collared shirt and blue jeans. "I'm Noah." He said. I turned around facing him and smiled. He was very cute. "I'm Ally."
"I already know a lot of this shit, so if you want, I can write up the presentation." He said.
I smiled. "I know a lot of it too." I said.
"Great, then. This should be a breeze." He said. "You can come to my apartment if you want tonight. I'm pretty sure we could have it all written in one night. I have a huge dog though, so if you have a fear of dogs, then you might want another place to meet up."
I giggled. "I have no problems with dogs, so your apartment it is." I said.
He got a peice of paper and wrote down directions to his apartment. "It's in North Palisades. Just call me from the gate and I'll let you in."
"North Palisades?" I asked.
He sighed. "Yeah."
North Palisades was in the middle of the wealthiest neighborhoods in town. "A rich boy, hu?" I asked smiling.
He laughed. "Yeah, but let's keep that on the down low." He said.
12:03 PM
Christina said...
"The down low it is." I told him.
"So, what should our presentation be about?" I asked him.
"We can figure that out tonight." He said.
"Okay, but then what are we going to do in class today?" I asked. He shrugged.
"What kind of psychology are you into?" He asked.
"Well, all of it? I guess mostly behavioral stuff. The scientifc aspect is pretty intersting too." I told him. We spent the rest of the class talking about what we both liked. Before we knew it, class was over.
"So, what time should I stop by? I asked him.
"Uh, 6:00 okay? I'll order some pizza." He said.
"Sounds good. I'll you see you then." I told him, and we both went to our next class.
12:31 PM
Sarah said...
There was a tiny middle eastern man standing at the podeum. "I za sub. . . sub. . . subs. . . substute. Subsitute." He said. "I call Roll."
He went through the names and none of us had any idea what names he was saying, so everyone just kept saying here. I couldn't stop laughing either. "Zuns to pege zo." He said.
"What?" A guy asked.
"T-t-t-t-t-oo." He said.
"Oh page two." I said out loud.
12:36 PM
Christina said...
"Shhhh. Quizet!" He shouted at me. It made me and a bunch of other people laugh.
"K, you zead den!" He shouted at me. I read most of the chapter before he finally stopped me.
"Good. Now Dizcuss!" He said. We all just sat there not sure what he wanted us to do.
"Diz,,,diz cuss. Pleaze." He said. Everyone turned to people next to him and started talking. The guy next to me tapped my shoulder.
"Hey, nice reading." He said, and I giggled.
"I was trying not to laugh the whole time!" I told him.
1:06 PM
Sarah said...
"I'm Tre." He said.
I smiled. "I'm Ally."
I studied him when he turned to look at the clock on the wall. He had light blond hair. It was shaved, but a little longer in the front. I thought it looked a little weird, but he was still hot. He was wearing a dark blue dress shirt with a black tie. I kept looking at him the rest of the class. The bell rang and he leaned over the desk towards me. "That shirt is awesome." He said quietly. He got up and left the classroom. I looked down at my shirt. It was just a plain green shirt with a daisy embroidered on the bottom right side. I smiled as I picked up my books and walked to my dorm. I set my things down and rushed to Tristin's room. She wasn't there though. I was so anxious to tell her I had met two hot guys.
1:23 PM
Christina said...
I tried to call her, but she didn't answer. My next class went by pretty fast. I was anxious to go see Noah, so I rushed back to my dorm to get ready. I knocked on Tristins door and she answered it this time.
"GUESS WHAT!" I shouted, and barged in her room.
"What?" She asked. I told her all about Noah and Tre.
"Oh! I'm so doing your hair! And picking you out an outfit!" She said, and I started laughing.
1:27 PM
Sarah said...
"You're driving through White Garden. That's like the Beverly Hills of Maryland." She said. "And you're taking my Mustang."
"Tristin." I said.
She laughed. "You can't drive your old Nissan through there. You'll probably get pulled over for sticking out like a sore thumb." She said.
I sighed. "Whatever." I said laughing.
She insisted on doing my hair and makeup. Then she made me wear one of her red strapless dresses. "We're just doing homework." I said.
She laughed. "Well, now you fit in with those people. You look amazing. Like a million bucks." She said.
"Okay." I said. "Thanks for your help."
She handed me the keys to her car. "Thanks." I said taking them from her.
"Will you take pictures while you drive through White Garden?" She asked excited.
"Driving my car will make me stick out like a sore thumb, but taking pictures as I'm driving through town won't?" I asked laughing.
"True." She said smiling. "Go." She said pushing me out the door. I got my books and went to her car, then headed to his apartments. The drive through White Garden was amazing. It was so beautiful. There were so many shops and people stuck up people walking down the streets with their dogs and high heels. I was hoping to see one of those ladies trip and fall, but I didn't get that lucky. I reached his apartments and called him from the gate and he let me in.
1:42 PM
Christina said...
"Wow. You take studying seriously." He said, when he opened his apartment door. It looked more like a condo to me.
"Sorry. My friend insisted." I said, and he laughed.
"Well, you look very nice. Come on in." He said. The aparment was huge! It was a three bedroom, and he lived by himself. One of the rooms was a guest room, and the other was a computer/game room. The whole place was amazing, and decorated really nice. He took my bag from me, and set it next to his gigantic black leather couch. There was a big coffee table in the middle of the floor, and he had pillows around it to sit on.
"Nice place." I said, looking around.
"Thanks. I hate it. My parents insisted on it." He said. I don't think he liked being rich.
"So, I thought you had a dog." I told him.
"Yeah. Cujo is on the patio." He said.
"Cujo?" I asked.
"Yeah! Come see him!" He said. He took me through the kitchen and pulled open the blinds. His patio was more like a small back yard! I couldn't believe this place! There was a huge mutt of some kind sleeping on the concrete.
1:52 PM
Sarah said...
"That's my boy." He said.
"He's cute." I said smiling.
"Okay, so the pizza should be here soon." He said.
"Okay." I said.
We walked back out to the living room. He grabbed a remote and pushed a button. A huge screen came down from the ceiling. "Oh, sorry. Does TV distract you when you study?" He asked. I looked at him. "Not at all." I said.
"Oh you had a look on your face like I was crazy." He said laughing.
"I like your TV." I said staring at it as he turned it on.
He laughed. "I forget most people don't have all this crazy shit." He said. He turned on VH1 and a music video was on. The sound was awesome!
1:57 PM
Christina said...
"Wow. This is insane!" I told him.
"Yeah. It is. Sometimes I wish I didn't have it all though." He said.
"Why is that?" I asked him. He shrugged. "Lets get started, shall we?" He asked.
"Absolutely." I told him. He sat down on one of the pillows on the floor. I sat down on one next to him, and had a little trouble in the dress, but I managed. We pulled out a bunch of books, and jotted down some of the things we had discussed in class earlier in the day.

After about a half hour, there was a knock on his door. He sighed and stood up. He walked over to the door and opened it. Three guys walked into the apartment. "Dude Julie Miller got fucking huge." One of the guys said. They all laughed. "Her butt is the size of Mississippi." He said laughing.
"Uh. . . guys, I'm kinda busy." Noah said tilting his head my way.
They all looked at me. "We were gonna head over to the golf course hoping we'd get caught again after hours." Another guy said. "Remember how fun it was to run from security?"
Noah laughed. "Yeah. I can't tonight though." He said.
2:35 PM
Christina said...
"Yeah, Yeah. Ditch us for the pretty lady." The guys said.
"Next time." Noah said.
"Are you ACTUALY studying? You are so lame!" One of the other guys said.
"I've never denied that. Now do you mind?" He asked, trying to push them out.
"Maybe she wants to go too!" The first guy said, and looked at me.
"Big project." I said, pointing at all the books.
"Fine! We'll leave!" He said, and they all turned to leave, gut the pizza guy showed up right then.
"Dude! PIZZA!" one of them shouted.
2:49 PM
Sarah said...
"Steve, come on." Noah said.
They each took a peice and left. Noah closed the door. "Sorry about that." He said.
"No problem at all." I said.
He went to the kitchen and came back with two plates of pizza. He handed me one. "And here." He said handing me a napkin.
"Thanks." I said smiling.

Christina said...
"So, are you from around here?" He asked.
"Yeah. I live about 10-15 minutes from campus. I have my whole life." I told him.
"Cool. My parents, and grandparents, and tons of other relatives all live in houses throughout this area." He said.
"Neat." I said.
"NOt really. I hate it here. I love Maryland, but I hate this area. Its full of snobs and assholes." He said, and I laughed. When we finished eating we started to work on our presentation.
"SO, what'll it be about?" I asked him.

"Maybe we shouldn't have decided to work on this so late." He said.
I giggled. "I think you're crazy for not liking all of this." I said.
He shrugged his shoulders.
"I guess the grass is always greener on the other side." I said.
"It is." He said. "Hey, would you like a drink?"
"Sure." I said smiling.
He stood up. "You can have anything you want from the bar. It's full of shit." He said. "Are you a wine person? I've got a lot of that too."
"A beer is fine." I said.
"Beer?" He asked looking surprised.
I laughed.
"Just not use to a girl wanting that." He said. He pulled a bottle of red wine off of his wine rack. "Try this." He said as he poured a little into a small class. He set it down in front of me and watched me sip it. It was really good. "That's really good." I said.
"It's Italian. It's called Lambrusco." He said. "Would you like a glass?"
"Yes, thank you." I said.

"Of course." He told me and poured me a full glass, then poured himself one.
"So, are you avoiding working on this?" I asked him.
"Sorry. I'm just used to doing these things by myself. I just want to make sure I get a good score." He told me.
"Well, fear not. I'm really good at this stuff." I told him.
"Oh really?" He asked.
"Yes, really! In fact I'm helping Prof. Bore on an upcoming seminar." I told him.
"Really? Well, my apologies for not wanting to work on this earlier." He said.
"How about we do it on developmental psychology? I havn't done anything on that yet, and we both seemed interested in discussing it in class today." I suggested.
"Perfect idea!" He said, and held out his glass to make a toast.
4:24 PM
Sarah said...
I smiled. He just sat there staring at me. "Yes?" I asked.
"Go ahead." He said.
I giggled. "I don't know what to say." I said.
He put his glass down. "Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow night?" He asked.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah. You seem normal." He said. He smiled. "And you're a pretty girl."
I smiled. "Thank you. I'd love to have dinner with you." I said.
"Cool. Dress nice. I'm taking you to a fancy place." He said.
4:30 PM
Christina said...
"How nice?" I asked.
"Like something you have on now would be perfect." He said.
"Okay. I can't wait." I said, smiling.
"You're cute. You're blushing." He said.
"Sorry. I do that." I told him.
"No, I like it. It is cute." He said.
"Thanks." I told him. We had a couple more glasses of wine and worked on our presentation some more.
4:38 PM
Sarah said...
When it got pretty late, I packed up my books and got ready to head back home. "See you in class tomorrow." I said.
"Alright. Have a good night." He said opening the door. I stepped out. "Bye." I said waving. He smiled and I left. I heard him close his door once I got to the parking lot.
10:22 AM
Christina said...
I drove home and went right to bed. I was excited to get to class the next morning to see Noah and Tre. I dressed a little cuter then normal, and spent time getting my makeup and hair done. After that I grabbed my books and headed to class. When class started Shawn had us split back up into our groups. Noah came right over and sat next to me. I cold smell cologne on him.
10:49 AM
Sarah said...
We chatted throughout the class about our families. I found out that his Grandfather is a retired actor and his mother was on General Hospital for twenty years. He said he doesn't normally tell people that though, so not to tell anyone. He has an older sister that lives in California and designs purses. He told me I should go with him to California some time and he would take me to one of the really nice clubs where you run into celebrities. I didn't have much to tell him about my family. I left out what was going on with my parents.
1:14 PM
Christina said...
He kept putting his hand on my arm the whole time! It was so cute. I kept getting more and more excited about going to dinner with him.
When class was over he walked out with me. He ended up walking me all the way to my next class just so we could continue talking.
"Your're going to be so late!" I told him, when we got to my next class.
"I know. I don't care. I'm having fun talking to you." He said. It made me smile.
"Well, I like talking to you too, but you better get your butt to class." I told him.
"If you insist. I'll see you later, okay!" He said, and hugged me. I watched him walk away so I could stare at his butt. When he turned the corner I went into my next class. The substitute was still there. I walked in and saw an open seat next to Tre, so I walked over to him.
"Seat taken?" I asked him.
"It is now. Have a seat." He said.
1:21 PM
Sarah said...
I smiled and sat down. "This class blows." He whispered.
I laughed.
"I've blown off this class too many times though. And now that I'm ready to pay attention and focus, the teacher isn't even here." I said.
He smiled and leaned back in his seat. "You have the coolest clothes." He said.
"Thanks." I said.
"Last week you wore that long jean skirt with red sandles." He said.
I just smiled. I had no idea what to say.
"I thought it was really hot." He said.
I smiled. "Thanks."
3:13 PM
Christina said...
"Sorry! I'm not gay or wierd or anything. I just notice these things." He said, and I laughed.
"Isn't it time for class to start?" I asked.
"Yeah. Where did the sub go? He was just standing there." He said.
"I don't know. Maybe he's a ninja." I said, and Tre laughed.
"Yeah, maybe.
3:32 PM
Sarah said...
A lady walked into the room. "Class is cancelled today. Your sub had a family emergency and we have nobody to replace him." She said.
"Right on!" Tre shouted. She gave him a dirty look. He stood up. "I will see you late." He said smiling and pointing at me. He left the classroom quickly. I laughed. Everyone got up and left. I decided to go to the library to study.
3:34 PM
Christina said...
I was surprised to see Matt in there. I ducked behind a shelf of books real quick, and avoided him. When he passed, I walked over to an empty table and pulled out all my books. I decided to work on the paper that hadn't even been assigned yet for the class I just had. It was interesting, so I figured getting a head start on it wouldn't hurt. I was really into it, so I didn't even notice that more then an hour had gone by. I looked up to give my eyes a break and I saw Matt sitting at a table near by. I laughed at the thought that he must have seen me sitting there. I guess he was avoiding me too.
3:42 PM
Sarah said...
I kept looking up at him. It looked like he was skimming through a book and taking notes. He had his headphones on too and he was tapping his foot to the music. He looked so cute. I started to feel bad for the way things ended with us. I packed up my backpack and walked over to him. He didn't notice me standing there, so I tapped his shoulder. He looked up at me and paused his music. He took his headphones off and continued writing. I sat down across from him at the table. "How are you doing?" I asked smiling as I put my hand over his. He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. "I'm doing okay, I guess." He said.
"Still clean?" I asked.
He laughed and pulled his hand away from mine. "Nope." He said.
"Oh." I said.
"It's all I've got to mend my wounds." He said.
"Aww Matt." I said.
"You really hurt me." He said.
"I know and I feel awful. I really do. I miss you a lot too." I said.
"Don't." He said. "Just don't." He put his headphones back on and turned on his music. He looked at me again and stared at me for a second, then looked back at his book.
4:02 PM
Christina said...
I didn't know what to do. I really wanted to talk to him, but I figured I couldn't make him forgive me. I sighed and stood up, and started walking away. I walke by him and he reached out and grabbed my arm. I stopped and he took his headphones back off.
"I'm still very, very angry with you. About everything. I'm sorry, but I can't forgive you yet. I don't know if I ever can." He said.
"I understand." I told him. He put his headphones back on, and I turned and walked away to go to my next class.
4:08 PM
Sarah said...
I felt like crying. I tried so hard not to. I went to the bathroom to freshen up my make up, then went to class.
4:18 PM
Christina said...
My next class was incredibly boring. I was also upset about Matt, so I was having a lot of trouble concentrating. When it was over I went back to my dorm and layed down to take a nap. I had just started to fall asleep when I remembered I was suposed to be going do dinner with Noah. I sighed, and got back out of bed and got ready. He called while I was blow drying my hair, but he left a message telling me to meet him in front of the library at 6:30.
10:38 PM
Sarah said...
I got ready slowly. I wasn't in a good mood, so I was hoping the night wouldn't last long. I just wanted to go to sleep. When I was finally ready, I walked to the library to meet him.
10:41 PM
Christina said...
He was there waiting, and he looked really nice! He smiled, and waved when he saw me.
"You look great!" He said, hugging me, and kissing my cheek.
"Thanks. You look good yourself." I told him.
"Are you ready?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Are you okay?" He asked me.
"Yeah. I just havn't gotten much sleep the last few days. Family stuff." I explained.
"I'm sorry. Would you like to do this another night?" He asked.
"No. Tonight is fine. Lets just not stay out too late?"
"Sure thing."
He walked me to his car, a very nice, brand new, BMW. He opened my door for me, and I climbed in.
10:47 PM
Sarah said...
He closed the door and walked around to the driver side and got in. He turned off the radio and pulled out of the school.
10:11 PM
Christina said...
He drove to a nice area that was close to where he lived, and pulled up to this really fancy Italian restaurant. There was even valet parking. He gave one of the guys his keys, and then we walked inside.
2:41 PM
Sarah said...
He had reservations, so we got seated right away. Our table was off to the side and more private. A waiter walked over to us and poured us each a glass of wine. "Our specialty house wine." He said smiling and walked away.
"This is so nice." I said.
"I'm glad you think so." He said.
2:52 PM
Christina said...
"I've never been somewhere so fancy." I told him.
"Is it too much?" He asked, sounding kind of nervous.
"No! Not at all. It's amazing, just not what I'm used to." I told him, and he smiled.
"Good. Sometimes I'm not sure if it's too much." He said, and smiled. I just smiled back and then looked over the menu.
10:49 AM
Sarah said...
"If you like fish, you should try it here. It's awesome." He said.
I smiled. "That sounds very good right now, actually." I said.
"Cool." He said.
Our waiter walked back over to us. "We'll take two of the Broiled Fish with Lemon Sauce." He said as he handed the waiter the menu's. "And two waters please."
"Coming right up." The waiter said. "My name is Chris. I'll be your server for the night."
"Thank you." He said smiling.
The waiter walked away and he turned to me. He took my hands in his and stared at me. "You have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen." He said.
I giggled. "Thank you."
"You're shy, aren't you?" He said smirking.
I shrugged my shoulders, then nodded.
"I could tell." He said. "Unless, you're talking about school work. When you're talking about school work, you are one talker."
I laughed. "Yeah."
"So, I guess having all of this stuff isn't so bad. I guess at times, I just get sick of it." He said.
"Makes sence." I said.
"Wait till you meet my family." He said sighing.
I laughed. "They can't be so bad."
"They're very set in their ways. I'll put it that way." He said. "My Mother is so picky about everything in the house being perfect, she has a new maid every time I go there. She is firing them and hiring new ones all the time."
"Well, I can't wait to see their house. It must be amazing." I said.
"Yeah, it is really nice. I do miss living there and be waited on hand and foot." He laughed as he picked up his glass of wine. "But, I like living on my own too." He said.
11:00 AM
Christina said...
I picked up my glass of wine to take a sip.
"Here, wait." Noah said. "Let me show you how to really taste wine the first time you sip it. Hold it like this." He demonstrated. "And give it a slight swirl. Then you smell it, and take a sip."
I giggled, and gave it a try.
"Wow, this wine is really good." I told him.
11:30 AM
Sarah said...
"Isn't it?" He asked smiling.
Chris walked over to us and handed us each a water and some bread and butter. "Thanks." I said. He smiled and walked away. I cut some bread and put it on my plate. I took a bite out of it and it was delicious.
12:31 PM
Christina said...
"What?" Noah asked.
"This is really good!" I said with my mouth full. He laughed.
"Sorry." I said, after I swollowed my food.
"Hey, don't worry about it. Your fun." He told me.
"Thanks. So what are you going to school for?" I asked him.
2:36 PM
Sarah said...
"I would like to be a Psychologist." He said.
"Oh cool. I still havn't decided if I want to go that long yet." I said.
"Yeah, it's a lot of time, work and money." He said.
I smiled. "Yeah."
"Here you are." Chris said setting our food down in front of us. It smelled so good!
