Marjorine's POV:

I wake up to the annoying ass alarm again, I sit up to see Bebe doing her makeup at her desk.

"Morning Marjorine!" she smiles warmly.

"Morning Bebe..." 

 I stand up, cracking my back, and get ready for the day, I dress in overalls, with a pink off-the-shoulder long-sleeve shirt underneath, I slide the bracelet on, put my hair into pigtails with small strands at the front, and leave for today's first class. 

I sat down in the lecture hall, I saw everyone sitting in their usual seats, the teacher mentioned he was switching up seats soon. However for now, like yesterday, I sit next to Wendy. She greets me with a warm smile and a slight wave of her hand.

"I didn't get a chance to ask yesterday. What's your name?" she tilts her head curiously anticipating my answer. 

"Oh, I'm Marjorine! And you are?" I ask knowing the answer full well.

"Wendy! You're Bebe's roommate right?" 

"Yep! Are you two close?" I already know they are, hell they've been in love since they first laid eyes on each other... I hope they're FINALLY together.

"Yep, she's my girlfriend," She smiles a toothy grin, I'm trying my hardest not to stand up and cheer. MY SHIP HAS SAILED!!

"Oh cool!" I say disguising my excitement under an uncaring demeanor.

Mr. Garrison walks in, cutting all conversations short, 

"Alright class shut the fuck up. Today we're learning about ---" I begin taking down notes in my notebook and before I know it class is over, and we're making our way to our next class. I watch everybody walking down the hallways, some in pairs, others walking alone like me. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice smoke rising from behind the fence outside, Kenny.

The bell chimes as I finish my next class and I walk outside and peer behind the stone wall, before I know it he looks over at me and we make accidental eye contact.

"Staring is considered rude, you know that?" He chuckles teasingly and directs his gaze over at me. I feel my face heat up a bit, I walk over to him. 

"Oh, hamburgers.." I whisper under my breath as a force of habit. He glances at me curiously, softly chuckling. 

"What was that?" 

"Huh?" 

"'Oh, hamburgers' really?" he chuckles and sits down on the dry grass beneath our feet, I sit next to him as he continues to pollute the air with his cancer stick, "I have a friend that says that all the time," he chuckled and tapped the beads of the bracelet on his wrist. 

"OH!" He shoots up swiftly bringing himself to his feet, before throwing me a small piece of paper. "I just remembered I was supposed to meet with Stan and Kyle, cya Marj!" I smiled and waved him away. He used the nickname! I stood up with butterflies fluttering in my stomach, oh right! I recall the paper, I pulled it out and unfolded the crumpled-up square beneath my fingers.

"Call me ;) ***-***- ****" 

YESS!! He gave me his number!! I internally cheer as I walk back to the dorm complex, as I re-entered I noticed Bebe dressed In a red, short dress made of some shiny material. 

"You look so pretty! What's the occasion?" I compliment her as she looks over at me, I notice her makeup is done as well.

She chuckled, "Don't you go making me blush!" Bebe covers her face. 

"Oh and to answer your question, got a date tonight! Gonna be out till morning if things go well~" she winked before she left the dorm, I waved her away.

"Good luck!"

I plopped down on my bed and picked up my phone before inputting the number on the paper and texting Kenny.

Marjorine: Hello!

McWhoredick: Hi! Ur Marj I hope?

AHHH HE USED THE NICKNAME I'M SCREAMING INTO MY PILLOW, KICKING MY FEET, TWIRLING MY HAIR.

Marjorine: Yep!

McWhoredick: cool dude wanna meet up?

Marjorine: Sure, where are we going?

McWhoredick: we could explore a bit yknow for shits and giggles

Marjorine: Meet at your spot?

McWhoredick: *our spot

I chuckled at his correction before exiting my dorm, I swung the keys around my index finger before locking it. I began to walk out of the complex over to the main area of campus.

I arrived at the assigned spot and spotted him sitting on the ground, 

"Hiya Ken!" I greet shoving the keys into my back pockets.

"Hey, Marj," He stood up and stretched his hand out to me, "Ready?" I took his outstretched hand and he pulled me so that we started walking in a direction together, small bits of sunlight illuminating the way around us, the sun's gonna set soon looks like. 

We used to do these 'adventures' all the time when we were younger too! Ah, the nostalgia... I miss those days...
