My college love

Chapter 5

We pulled into the parking lot in front of the dorm and he turned off the death trap and looked back at me.

" You can let go now, I'd like to breath" he said looking back at me.

I quickly let go "oh, yeah sorry" I said as I cleared my throat. He put his hand out to help me get off and I gladly took it and swung my leg over to get off.  " Thank you for the ride home. Even if it was on a death trap" I smiled at him.

He looked amused at what I said. " Death trap?" He raised and eyebrow.

"Yes. A death trap" I laughed slightly. "You should really invest in another helmet. People would feel much safer on the back of that with one on." I said.

" Maybe  I will. But I got to go, see you around?" He asked as he cocked his head to the side.

I almost smiled as I looked at the way a few pieces of his hair fell over his eye. " Yeah sure. See you around" I smiled as I took a few steps back, not wanting to be ran over by the mechanical bike. I stood there and watched him drive off then turned and started toward the building.

Once I made it safely into the dorm and the door was locked I decided I would text Megan and ask if she had her key so she could still get in if I happen to be asleep. Her reply was almost instant, saying yes she had her key and then gushing over how cute Cole was again. I sighed as I threw my phone onto my bed. They just met I don't see why she is making a big fuss over him. But then again I understood. I had made a huge fuss over my first love, jace. But after having my heartbroken I decided that I wouldn't date anymore. Well not in till I had finished all of my schooling and was able to meet a real man.

I changed into my black basketball shorts and a blue tank top and crawled into bed. It was only 11:30 but it felt like the day had worn me out. I buried myself under the covers and held onto my baby blanket.

Yes I have a baby blanket. When I was born it was the one my mom wanted to bring me home in, so I've kept it all 19 years as a reminder of her. And to this day I can't and won't sleep with out it. If it goes missing or someone takes it I kind of go crazy. One time I forgot it when I went to a sleep over and I had a meltdown right there in front of everyone. My dad came and picked me up and took me home to get my blankey.

-----

I don't know what time Megan came home last night because I had fallen asleep around 12 and was knocked out the rest of the night. I stretched and looked over at her bed. She was sprawled out and asleep. I laughed slightly as I stood and walked to the bathroom. Deciding I wanted a shower.

After my shower I got dressed and looked at myself in the mirror making sure the denim skinny jeans I had on looked ok. Then I slipped a grey hoodie over my head and finished blow drying and straightening my hair.

By the time I got out Megan was sitting up on her bed with the blankets wrapped around her like a cocoon. I laughed at her " what in the world are you doing?" I asked as I sat back down on my bed.

"I'm sleepy still" she mumbled as she yawned. " I'm going to shower" she grumbled as she stood and walked towards it.

I rolled my eyes. " Someone isn't a morning person!" I yelled to her as she shut the door. I picked up my phone from the nightstand and decided if call my dad. But before I did I noticed I had a text message that said.

Unknown number- hey. Get ready I'll be there to pick you up around 2:30
-r

I looked at the time, it was just about 2:00 now. Wait how did he get my number?

"Megan! Come here" I yelled as I heard the blow dryer turn on.

" Yes?" She peeked out the door.

"How did Ryder get my phone number?" I asked as I stood and put my hands on my hips like a scolding parent would do.

" Cole gave it to him last night when he asked" she said happily.

" Well thanks to you and Cole he thinks he is picking me up at 2:30" I said as I laid back on the bed.

" Go with him Addison! It will be fun" she squealed. " But maybe change the shirt?" She looked at me.

"What? What's wrong with my hoodie. It's warm" I said as I wrapped my arms around myself and sat up.

" Well you don't want to go on a date in a hoodie" she said as she started going through my stuff. " Here wear this" she threw an all black t-shirt at me.

I shook my head as I went and changed. " Happy?" I asked as I came out. " And this is not a date." I added as I shot her a glare.

" Thrilled" she smirked. I just rolled my eyes as I walked over and put on my converse.

As I walked back to the bed I heard my phone ringing. I looked at Megan before I answered it.

" Hello?" I said.

" Hey I'm here. Get down here." Is all I heard before he hung up.

" Does he expect me to want to hang out with him when he is so rude?" I mutter as shove my phone in my back pocket and grab some money out of my bag and stuff it into a different pocket, before I walked out the door and into the elevator.

I walked into the lobby and looked around for Ryder by found him no where. So walked outside and there he was. Sitting on the death trap once again. I gave him a once over. He looked pretty casual like me. Wearing regular dark blue jeans and a grey t-shirt with a brown leather jacket on. Does he always wear leather jackets? I wonder.

" here get on" Ryder said as he thrusted a black helmet in front of me.

" But don't you need to wear one?" I asked as I looked from the helmet to him.

" I have one." He held it up.

" So you bought this like I said?" I smirked at him.

" Actually I had one at the house so I grabbed it. Don't feel to special, just get on" he said. I rolled my eyes as I slipped it over my head and climbed on.

" Where are we going?" I questioned him as he started the engine.

" Surprise" he said as he started driving.
Great. I hate surprises.
