Just friends

Chapter 2

The next couple of days I spent looking for jobs and hoping to be accepted. Out of the five I applied for, three accepted me. I decidee to go for the one at a local Olive Garden in town as a waitress. When I had my meet up kind of thing with the manager, I was able to get the job my first day would be the following week. So, after leaving the restaurant I went back to my apartment and just spent time there. I grabbed my lap top and was just scrolling through things until a message on Skype popped up.

"Peter! The whore is online!" I yell. He immediately ran out of his room and onto the couch next to me. "She says hey there, sweet thang."

"Type hey, sexy been thinking about you." Peter says as I type. Gina, also known as the whore, is an ex of Peter. Ever since we first found out she cheated on him with about five or so other guys and they broke up, we've been using a fake profile to mess with her. Our account name is Tom Gilmore. Super hot model who owns a mansion but plays it cool.

"My boyfriend isn't home, you wanna come over?" I read her text. I then write back. "Sorry, I can't, working on new photo shoot in Malibu."

"Why Malibu?" Peter asks.

"Reason for a guy to take his shirt off. This girl wants to get laid so badly." I say laughing.

"Alright, I have to go. Babe just got home. " Peter reads out loud. "Okay, I have this strange idea but, during spring break, what do you think about heading to New York City and having a double date. You, Carter, Angie, and me. We all head down to New York spend the week there and maybe even get dinner at The Tavern on the Green."

"How would we get the money?" I ask before setting my computer on the floor.

"I'll get a part time job. I mean how much are you going to be paid at Olive Garden?"

"Forty bucks an hour plus tips."

"See, you'll have cash on you that'll all be extra then I'll get a part time once you start your classes and it'll be fine after that. Hopefully I'll get an intership of some sort."

"Alright, but for now. We just have to work on getting settled and used to new things around here." I say before standing up and heading to the kitchen. "Chinese sound good?"

"Sure." Peter says before he calls and orders the food. We just get our usual sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and egg flour soup. It's really good to be honest.

I grab us both a root beer each before sitting back down on the couch and turning on Netflix. We open our bottles before hitting the bottles together and start watching Parks and Recreation. Once food shows up I grab the money from Peter's wallet before opening the door. It was some high school kid delivery guy. One those creepy ones who you just wish you could kindly say please stop looking at my boobs without sounding snobby.

"Your boyfriend?" he asks as I hand him the money. I look back at Peter giving him the look saying I'm gonna lie to this kid so just go along with it.

"Yeah, he is." I say.

"Oh, later." he says before walking away.

"Creepy kid?" Peter asks.

"Yeah, and honestly I haven't felt that uncomfortable since freshmen year. My god." I say before setting the food on the coffee table and grabbing what I want.

Later that evening before I went to bed, I was able to Skype call my family.

"There's our college girl. How's life up there?" my dad says.

"It's okay, other than the fact my classes don't start until the next semester everythings great." I say.

"Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry. At least it means you can visit more often." my mom says.
