Insanity

chapter three

BANG BANG BANG

I awake to a crashing on the door, my room mate Maggie seems to be dead asleep so I take it upon myself to answer the door.

"Is Maggie here?" A chubby, tanned girl asks.

"What time is it?" I ask the strange, completely ignoring her question.

"8:45am. Is Maggie here?"

"Why are you here so earlier?" I ask, obviously annoyed.

"I have to talk to Maggie," she sighs. "Is she here?"

"Yes." I moan.

The girl walks in and I get back into bed, deciding to let Maggie deal with whatever is going on. I close my eyes but am unable to get back to sleep from the girls talking.

"Natalie, it's so early, what do you want?" I hear Maggie ask.

"I have so much to tell you, so I broke up with Brady last night because I kissed Connie, Rieley and Ivan at the party on Friday and I can't believe he found out I cheated like, I've been doing it for so long and how would he possibly find out now?" Natalie babbles on.

I instantly don't like this girl, she annoys me, she cheats often and complains when she gets caught. I don't usually use this word, but she's nothing but a slut.

I can't possibly fall asleep with all of this meaningless chit chat, I sit up in my bed and look at Maggie and Natalie.

"It's like 9 in the morning, could you shut up and let me sleep?" I yell, but calm myself half way through my sentence.

"Um, why don't you just leave?" Natalie says rudely.

"Because this is my fucking dorm." I say in an angry tone. Natalie rolls her eyes and looks back at Maggie.

"I'll come see you later on, when SHE is gone." Natalie says quietly and walks out.

"I'm sorry about her Jess, she's annoying and rude I know. To be honest, I can't really stand her." Maggie says apologetically.

"Nah, I think I was pretty rude myself. I'm just not a morning person, sorry for half kicking her out Mag."

"You doing anything tonight?" Maggie asks.

"Hmm," I mumble, thinking if I'm doing anything. "I'm not sure, what about you?"

"There's a party on tonight, would be great for you to meet my friends!"

"Yeah, sound great, I'll come back here around 5 to get ready with you if you wanted?"

"Yeah awesome!" She says and heads to the bathroom.

I pick up my phone and text Samantha.

Jess: u up yet babe?

Sam: yeh, just woke up. What's up?

Jess: we going to Riley's?

Sam: yeh if u want babe.

Jess: aight ill just have a shower.

Sam: yeh come to my room when ur ready.

After a quick shower, I have to pick something to wear. I decide on high waisted black ripped jeans, a dark grass green half top and white low top converses.

I knock on Samantha's door semi loudly as she never hears me when I knock on her door back home, and of course, she answers after the sixth knock.

"You ready?" I ask as she opens the door.

"Yeah ill just grab my phone."

"Do you know who's going to be a Riley's today? Or will it be the same people?"

"I don't know actually, he usually has a bunch of people there so it could be anyone." Sam answers.

We make our way to Riley's dorm and we are greeted by him at the door. My eyes instantly go to the boy in the corner of the room. This familiar boy was beautiful, black hair, brown eyes, defined jaw bone and two nose piercings on either side of his nose.

"I know you!" The boy says and points to me. Before I can say anything, Sam quickly interjects.

"Yeah, you guys dated didn't you?"

"What?" Riley says and laughs and I laugh and sit down.

"About three years ago, back in high school, Jordan and I dated. It was so childish," I laugh. "I haven't seen him in so long!"

After a couple of cones each I found myself talking to Jordan one on one. We seem to get along so well, better than we did 3 years ago.

"So when how long have you been smoking for?" Jordan asks, while packing a cone.

"Not long actually, about a year, maybe less. What about you?"

"About two years." He replies.

We continue talking, as if 3 years ago were only yesterday, as if we still had the same strong connection.
