Samantha seemed pretty cool. I can't deny that she's beautiful, and I'm very attracted to her. But, I promised myself that I was going to focus on school and my fights...nothing more. I can't afford to lose track of time or mess around this year. I have just one more year before I can fill out an application for an internship at Knights Enterprise.

It's been my dream to work there since I was a kid. Not just because it has the same name as my last name, but because they are one of the top businesses in the whole world. It's a multi-billion enterprise, and I am fascinated by this place. No one can compete with them. It's said they only accept a total of ten interns out of thousands that apply. I know that w it's a hell of a long shot, but I've worked hard... really hard to memorize everything that I will need to get that internship.

Having a girlfriend right now is out of the question. No matter how damn attracted I am with Sam. Besides, she deserves someone so much better than me. I can't even remember how many girls I've had a one-night stand with. She needs a man that can love her and treat her right...not some lowlife man-whore that will probably break her heart, like me.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. It read seven a.m., last night was pouring down like crazy, so I came home earlier than usual. Sam has been coming home early and her friend Kim usually spends the whole night here with her. So, I take advantage and head out to the gym for practices I'm out of their way. As long as I don't have class, of course.

Brandon, on the other hand, has taken over my dorm as well. He's usually there when I come back from the gym. He's been sleeping on my couch for the past three days. But something tells me, he doesn't like his roommate. Brandon is asthmatic, and any type of Smoke triggers his asthma. When we first got back to school, we noticed his roommate was smoking inside, though it's prohibited. Then again, no one ever follows the rules in the dorms.

I was unsure if Brandon would be in my living room, so I walked as quietly as could to the bathroom and began to do my business. Starting with taking a piss. I tilted my head back, as well as let myself release. I was so tired, I didn't bother turning on the lights.

Last night- it rained so hard, I seriously slept like a baby. So can someone explain to me...why the hell is it so cold? It was 90 degrees out yesterday, seriously. I swear, I hate California weather. It's so darn unpredictable. My alarm went off, waking me from my slumber. I grunted, hitting snooze and trying to roll back to sleep, only to get slapped in the face by crazy sleeper Kim. "Ouch.." I blurted out, swatting her hand away from me.

It was so darn cold, I was already shivering. I was dreading that I sleep with no bra and only a tiny crop top with no sweater last night. I moved Kim's foot off me and made my way to go pee. Russell's room still looked dark, he was probably still asleep. So, I went straight to the bathroom and turned on the lights.
