Hope We'll Meet Again

September 8th, 1990
Staring at the attractive girl across the room I bit my lip and looked up at Tyrant, "I'll talk to her only if you come with me."

He looked down at me before laughing a bit, "Okay, but after a while I'm gonna walk away to let you guys connect."

I turned to him and pouted, "No, please don't." I frowned. He laughed, "Come on man. How else are you gonna get your groove on?" he playfully nudged.

I sighed, "Fine, but don't go too far." He laughed, "I should be saying that to you."

He lightly pushed me as we began walking over to Tracy.

"Darrell know about this?" he asked. I nodded, "Yeah, he was all for it in hopes of a threesome in the future." Tyrant laughed but stopped once we made it over.

Shyly I introduced myself, "Hi, I'm Camille. I'm a freshman at Stanford." she looked me over and smirked before standing up from the counter.

Amazed at her height my heart pounded.

"Tracy, I'm a sophomore on the basketball team here."

I smiled and nodded before she looked at Tyrant, "Never would've thought a girl like you would know Tyrant." he laughed and they hugged each other, "How's it goin man?" she asked. "I'm good. Camille's my friend from highschool. She doesn't party much so I thought that she should come tonight."

Tracy nodded and looked me over again.

"Cool. Well welcome to your first party. What's your major?"

"I'm a psychology major, what about you Tracy?" I asked. "Sports nutrition. You drink?" she asked. Before I could speak Tyrant cut me off, "Drinking isn't really her thing, it shouldn't be her thing either." he eyed me.

Tracy nodded slowly before laughing, "That's cool. You don't gotta drink to have fun."

I nodded giving her a fake smile. Before there was silence, "Well... I had some friends that I was gonna connect with tonight so I'll come back later and check up on you Cam." he laughed.

I nodded and waved goodbye to him as he walked off.

"Here, drinking can be your thing tonight."

Turning around Tracy handed me her cup.

"Th-Thank you." I stuttered before taking the cup.

*BEEP*
*BEEP*
*BEEP*

Jumping out of my sleep from the alarm going off I panted holding my chest.

"Not again Cam." Gemini sighed turning off the alarm.

I sighed putting the pillow over my head, "Today's supposed to be a good day."

Feeling Gemini's hand on my calf she squeezed it, "Fight your demons Cam... you can't let them win."

Removing the pillow and turning over I stared at her barely visible face and silhouette in the dark, "Gemi... it's starting to get harder and harder." She sighed  in response and patted my leg, "It can only get worse before it gets better." she got up and left going into the hallway.

Orange light from the bathroom illuminated the hallway and I could hear the sink faucet turn on as Ronnie and Gemini said their good mornings.

Running my hands down my face I sat up at the edge of the bed staring down at my feet.

"Get breakfast ready and send Ronnie off. Focus on that." I coached myself.

Getting up I stretched grabbing my ankles. Letting out a deep yawn I stepped into my slippers and walked to the bathroom finding Gemini brushing her teeth and Ronnie beginning to turn the shower on.
