My Melody

Chapter 4

As we began to leave math class I noticed this guy was looking our way, more specifically at Nicki and she did this little shy smile/wave thing.

"Who was that?" Aubree asked.

Apparently I wasn't the only one who noticed.

"His name is Chris, I met him a while back at work. He's studying finance, and he's 25."

"Hold up, hold up, hold up." I say grabbing her shoulders.

"What?" She turns around adjusting her bag on her right shoulder.

"I remember that you have mentioned him before. Why does it seem like you're hiding him now?"

"Because I am. Why you may ask? He's not the typical guy I go for, and I didn't want you guys to make fun." I gave her an incredulous look. Was it because he is white?

Aubree was now laughing. He was kind of dorky, but in a cute kind of way. Had a thin build with brown hair and eyes. If she's attracted to him why should it matter what we think anyway? He is definitely the polar opposite of David.
"Either way, if he's cool and nice to you, then I'm good. Aubree why are you laughing? I don't see you with a boyfriend." I say and she suddenly stopped making a face causing Nicki to laugh out loud.

"Wow Melly!! When did you become so mean?"

"I'm not being mean, just stating the facts." I looked at my phone and saw that I had 15 minutes to get to work. Nicki was going to her next class, and Aubree was going to grab lunch. And with that we all went our separate ways, but before we got too far I called out to Nicki.

"Hey, I want to officially meet Chris." She says OK with me and she smiled/nodded and waved.

Not even an hour into my shift, Aubree comes walking in.

"Not now Aubree Lynn."

"I didn't even say anything." She smiles.

"Yeah but I know you want to talk crap about Nicki and this Chris guy and you know how my manager is."

"OK so I want to pose a question Melly," She says looking around for my manager. I raise my eyebrow. "Make it quick."

"Since Nicki's  got a man I think we should go and look for some ourselves." She said with a big smile. That was not a question.

"Oh God, I'm all for a fun night out but I am not making you any promises." I said stretching my arms

"Cool so this weekend the Savoy." She shimmies her shoulders.

"The Savoy? Isn't that club really hard to get into?" I asked looking perplexed. And not to mention we're under age.

"Not when you have connections," she winks. We hear the office door open.

"And that's my cue, see you later Melly." Aubree says heading towards the exit.

"Later..." I say back.

It was a slow night so I decided to text Miss Lauren. I've been neglecting her, and the girls.

Melly: Hi Ms.Lauren 🙂

Ms.L:To what do I owe the pleasure?

Oh man is she upset? I hope not.

Melly: Oh don't be like that

Ms.L:I'm only kidding,how are you?

Melly:Fine, just finished up at work. About to head back to my dorm now.

Ms.L: Gotta love that busy college life

Melly: yeah busy doesn't even begin to describe this life

Ms.L: I hope you have brakes, like you're going out to get some release.
