call it what you want

Prologue

Jackson

Me, Wes, Adare, and Ameeriah just got back from the dining hall and walk into my dorm.
Adare is Wes' girlfriend, he's fucking obsessed with her.

"I should probably get back, I have a paper due tomorrow night and I'm not even close to be done. I'll see you guys later," Ameeriah says.

Ameeriah is Adare's best friend. They met just a couple months ago, but they're together a ton.
She's got light brown skin that's like fucking sun kissed golden type of perfection.

She's got this dimple that's like, magnetic. Every time she smiles, you can't pull your eyes away.
She also bakes us cookies a lot.

We all tell her goodnight and Adare and Wes climb into his bed and watch some tv.
I feel my phone go off and it's Skyler, a girl I hooked up with earlier this semester. She asked me if I was up and looking at that text should make me happy, but just feel a little disappointed in myself.

I look over to Adare and Wes and she's got her hand under her head that's sitting on Wes' shoulder.
I think I need to take a break from the parties and the girls.
Wes' whipped ass is making me want to get my shit together.

I gulp before I glance up. "Is Ameeriah like, seeing anyone?" I ask, trying to sound nonchalant.

Adare sits up slightly with a concerned look on her face.
"What? That was just a totally normal sentence to say, totally chill and totally not hinting at anything," I say defensively.

Adare slightly smiles.
"Jackson.." She said wearily. "You know I think you're awesome," she starts but I cut her off.

"And charming and smart and great looking.."

"And annoying," she finishes. "But," she pauses to sigh. "But I know what kind of girls you like...and what kind of girls you hook up with," she says slightly lower but quickly adds on. "And there's nothing wrong with that! But..Ameeriah isn't like that. You're not messing with her Jackson, you're just gonna hurt her."

That kinda fucking stings.
"I swear I'm gonna change, for real. Look," I say picking up my phone. "I'm blocking a girl right now. See?" I say turning my phone over to her. "No more Skyler."

Before I can turn my phone back I hear a text message.
"What the fuck?" I question as I look at my phone. "I just blocked her why is she still coming up?"

Going over to the texts I quickly realize what happened. "Ohh, this is a different Skyler."

As soon as I say that Adare gives me a told you so look and I quickly realize that she's right.
I sigh and sit back in my chair.

"Jackson, you're a catch but I," I smirk and Wes cuts her off.

"Okay so just fuck me then?"
Adare rolls her eyes and lightly hits Wes.

She continues. "I think you could really be a good guy to someone like Ameeriah, but not right now, okay?" She says and she looks truly sincere.

Wes sighs in a stretch. "You heard her. Operation keep your dick to yourself Jackson."
"Actually..speaking of," Wes trails off in a very machiavellian way.

"I bet you can't be celibate this semester."
Oh fuck you Wes, challenge accepted.

"I can so do that," I reply back confidently.
"I'll bet $50 that you won't even make it a month."

"Sure Wes, sure." I turn to Adare. "You're the witness."

Adare rolls her eyes again and then says that she should probably start going back to her dorm and Wes jumps up to walk her back.
