Part 23

Taylor and Belly are picking outfits when I walk in.

"Y/N, can you help us?" Tay asks me.

"Sure, let's go to my wardrobe. It's better." I laugh and the girls follow me into my room.

I look through my clothes as Taylor rambles to me.

"Omg, you're turning twenty this year."

"I had no idea," I say sarcastically.

"So old."

I smack her with a T-shirt.

"Ow!"

"Shut up."

"You staying in the same college?"

"Yup."

"Gonna commute again?"

"I was thinking of moving in this year, getting a dorm."

"What?" Belly questions me.

"Yeah."

"Won't that be awkward cause of, you know who." Taylor asks.

"Hopefully we can sort things before then, if I do of course."

Just as I'm talking I run into Conrad's t-shirt.

'for fucks sake.'

My phone buzzes on my nightstand and I quickly grab it.

The second I see his name, I accept the call and hold it to my ear.

"Hey." He says.

"Hey, I didn't expect to hear from you."

"Yeah is it okay that I'm calling? I shouldn't have called, this was dumb."

"No! No, no no, it's okay." I tell him quickly. "Still friends, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, we're friends."

"Friends can talk on the phone."

"Yeah, nothing weird about friends talking on the phone."

I giggle.

"So, how are you getting on living at college."

"Uh I'm good, I kind of wish you were here, not doing that weird school-at-home thing."

"Yeah, I think I'll get a dorm next year and move in and stuff."

"Cool, how's your schoolwork?"

"I am so happy I don't have to do trig anymore like Belly is being tortured by that shit."

"I don't wanna hear about Belly, I wanna hear about you."

 I secretly smile. 

"How's the writing major going?"

"Pretty good, I'm so stuck on this piece right now."

"What's it about?"

I take a big breath in.

"Well, we have to write an essay slash short story about 'a situation that caused you to grow' but, I don't know what to write about."

Steven then barges in, asking about his missing weights.

"Steven I'm on the phone."

"Tell Taylor to go to bed." He laughs.

"Hi, Steven!" Conrad yells through the phone.
