bad choices | sequel to bad boy, bad girl

four---

I woke up to the sound of of hairdryer. I groaned, shoving a pillow over my ears to block out the noise. It obviously did nothing. I sat up strait, staring at lil miss princess. 

"Excuse me, some of us are trying to sleep over here?" I snapped, rolling my eyes. She turned it off, crossed her arms and jutted her hip. 

"Excuse me, some of us actually have to go to classes?" 

"Whatever." I mumbled, rolling my eyes.

"Remember, I can still turn you in. Better not be a bitch to me." She said softly, just as she closed the door and left. I turned my head, screaming into my pillow. 

After a few minutes of sulking, I rolled over and grabbed my phone. For some reason, I had a huge amount of texts.

Jeanne: Any cute boys? xx

Mathew: Miss you, call me when you get this?

Hayes: How's college, doing okay? xox

Taylor: Babe, I hope you're doing great. First few weeks of college are always hard.

Cam: Miss you! -Dean, Jeanne, Cam

Kathleen: College isn't what I expected, I just miss everyone so much… 

Damn it. Jack must have told everyone about Mindy. They must all think I hate it here. He must have also mentioned Nate, explaining Jeanne's text. I typed up a few ''i miss you''s and a few ''I'm fine''s. I was about to get up when I had an incoming call. Matt. I picked up, resting my head back down on my pillow. 

"Hey Baird." 

"Hey Matt, what's up?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"Just wanted to catch up. How's college?" 

"Matt, cut the bullshit. I know Jack told you guys. I'm doing great. It's not as bad as it seems to be, okay?" I grumbled, getting a little irritated.

"How'd you know?"

"After receiving a text from just about everyone asking if I was doing okay, I just assumed." I rolled my eyes. He took a pause, probably thinking about what to say.

"We're just looking out for you, Erica." I sighed, feeling bad for getting mad.

"I know. And I appreciate it, Matt. It's just, I can take care of myself. I can deal with my room mate, and whatever Jack told you about Nate isn't true. I feel nothing towards him. I'm still in love with Gilinsky for all your concerns." I smirked at the last part.

"Good, because the entire group is still rooting on you guys to be high school sweethearts." Even through the phone I could sense him winking. I felt a pinch in my chest. I knew all my friends inside and out, and I somehow missed all their little quirks. 

"I miss you." I whispered, looking up at all my pictures.

"I miss you too, Baird. I gotta go, I have a few classes today." He said.

"Oh. Uh, okay." I had assumed we would be able to talk for a few hours just like good ol' times.. "Have fun."

"Bye, Baird."

"Bye, Espinosa." I said, hanging up.

I sat up strait, sighing and running my hands through my messy hair. I could see myself in the mirror, and I recognized dark purple hickies lining my collarbones. Jack had marked them last night, and I somehow knew it was to show Nate I belong to him. I smirked at the thought of Jack getting angry and jealous. It was really hot. 

I snapped myself out of my thoughts, and checked the time. I was meeting everyone in about an hour at the same park. I decided to get dressed, throwing on my black jeans, a loose white crop top and all my normal stuff. By the time I was finished, it was time to go pick up Jack and walk to the park.
