Loving You

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

            I yawned as I woke up to the microwave running, Sherry looked over at my, dark circles under her eyes. I laughed.

            “What’re you laughing at, rats nest?” Sherry asked me. I glanced in the mirror and saw that my hair was super messy.

            “Just your mask, raccoon.” I remarked back at her. She through a plastic spoon at me and I glared at her. I stuck out my tongue and she did the same, then we both started laughing.

            “This is why I love you, Paige.” Sherry said to me, smiling. I walked over to her and returned the compliment, hugging her.

            “So, what classes do you have today?” She asked me, continuing what she had been doing. I frowned and informed her, “I have math and English. Blech.”

            She laughed and said, “I have math and psychology. My favorites.” I shook my head at her ridiculousness. How can she like any classes? I chuckled to myself and walked over to my dresser, pulling out a pair of jeans and a black shirt that was sheer on the top, starting just over my bra. I put on a pair of black flip flops, added mascara and lipgloss, brushed my hair, got my stuff, and I was ready to go. The joys of college.

            I smiled as I strolled to class. I loved seeing all my friends and just getting to say hi as I walked to class. I walked in and took my seat next to one of my friends, Trissa. She smiled and we caught up before the professor started class. I got bored as I took notes on my laptop.

            I went on my IM and started talking to my friend back home who wasn’t in school because he was pursuing the “Extremely successful” career of what I liked to call “Paint Pimping”. It was pretty self-explanatory.

            Klaus (not his real name) was catching me up about everyone back in New York. I laughed when he told me his new name. It was formerly Richard, nick named Dick not by choice, and he didn’t find that suiting enough.

            I found out all about how Joey died. He was in a taxi on the way home from work when a drunk driver came out of nowhere in a semi and took him and about 13 other people out. It was tragic, and the only ones invited to the funeral where family and extremely close family.

            He also informed my all about his boyfriend, Ricky. I was shocked. He used to be a womanizer. His turn story was similar to that scene in the Simpson’s movie when Ralph sees Bart naked and says, “I like men now.” Except it was Ricky and it was in the changing room at Macys.

            He left and I was about to log out when someone chatted me. I noticed they had added me to their buddy list. The username was JakeWillRockU. I internally facepalmed.

(All IMing will be shown by bold)

JakeWillRockU: Hey J

SpongebobLuvr24: Is this who I think it is? -__-

JakeWillRockU: Jake N? I don’t know if you remember me? I kind of wore your cardigan. That’s pretty personal. It’s a real connection. Next thing you know, you’ll be in my snapback and I will be in you slippers ;)

SpongebobLuvr24: Your very obnoxious, you know that? I am in class. I need to learn.

J: Yes because that’s why you are IM. To learn.

SpongebobLuvr24: It helps with my... typing.

J: Suuuuure it does. I’m bored

SpongebobLuvr24: sucks
