The next morning I woke up early because I remembered I had made plans with Adrianna to have breakfast. I went upstairs to my bed to see an unconscious Noah still in a dead sleep. I felt bad waking him up, but I had to get him out of the house before I left. I shook him and nudged him hoping he would wake up quickly.

“Wake up, you bum.” I said as I continued shaking his body.

“What?! Where am I?! Dylan?” he wakes up in a panic.


“Relax you drunken mess. You’re at my house.”

“Oh…I slept here?”


“Yeah. You kissed me last night and then passed out on my bed, you mess.”

“I did what?!?!” I heard his voice get all high pitched which I thought was hysterical.

“Don’t worry it only lasted for five seconds and I pushed you off. I would never take advantage of a situation like that.” I explained.


“Oh…thanks! Yeah, I really must’ve been out of it. I don’t really swing that way, haha. I’ve been curious at times I won’t lie, but I know I’m definitely straight.”

“Uh huh unless you have some liquid courage, right?” I chuckle playfully as I watch his get red with embarrassment.


“Don’t worry it’ll all stay between us. Now I need you to leave because I have to go out”

“Oh so you did a kiss and run, huh, player?” he says jokingly.

“Haha don’t flatter yourself.”

We say our goodbyes as I rush to get ready so I wouldn’t be late for my plans. Hopefully there would be no surprises today. I have had my fair share of those the past few days. I couldn’t wait to see my best friend. I just had to vent to her about all my latest frustrations. 

I met up with her at a local diner. She arrived exactly on time. It felt like everything she ever did was perfection. She was a proper Southern Bell. She always dressed so lady-like. She had long luscious brown wavy hair. She always had on this pink lipstick on that made her lips look like candy. She was wearing a floral sundress on with a sun hat to match. She amazed me. 

"Well it feels like an eternity!" She says as she hugs me close. Her perfume smells so lovely. 

"I know I know." I replied. It actually felt strange if I didn't speak to Adrianna for a day or two. I just lost track of time and have felt so lost the past 2 days. "A lot has happened since I started school." 

"Well don't keep me in suspense!" She asked as she inched closer to me to get the truth out of me.

"Please don't judge me Ari" I said politely.

"Ugh...do I ever?" 

"Ok so...I went to a frat party with Claire the other night and apparently I spent the night with someone."
