_Zoey
Dear journal
I look young for my age. Both of us do. We are only 20 and on our junior year in college. Everyone says I'm the girl's definition of "perfect." Skinny, long hair, clear skin, beautiful, etc. I don't believe it. I think there's a lot of ways do describe the "perfect" girl. Depends on the type of person you are. Me, I think everyone is perfect in their own ways.

When I woke up this morning Megan was already awake and began unpacking. We both have our own mini friges so we don't get our stuff mixed up. The drive in the kitchen is for meal stuff and stuff we both need/use.
"Morning Zoe. Can you come help me with this please." Megan said.
"Sure, what is it." I asked
"Well, its just some pics of me and Logan. Remember him? Well we broke up and I want to burn everything in this box."
"Why did you guys break up? I though you guys were doing good."
"Yeah, we were. But then he cheated on me with his cousin."
After I helped her burn the box she went to go take a shower. I went in the kichen and began making some Mac & cheese for the both of us when I heard her phone ring. She was in the shower so I answered it just in case it was an important call.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hello, is this Megan Brooks?"
"No she is in the shower right now can I take a message?"
"Yes, um can you tell her that her test results are in?"
"Test results for what?"
"I'm sorry ma'am but thats confidential."
"Oh ok, I'll be sure to tell her, thank you."
I hung up immediately and continued to make our food. Once she got out of the shower and got dressed I was finished making the Mac & cheese. We both grabbed a plate and began eating.
"Hey, um, Megan. Can I ask you something?"
"Of course Zoe. What is it?"
"Well while you were in the shower your phone rang, so I picked it up cause they kept calling. But when I answered they said they had your test results in. What test results? What did you get tested for?"
"Um...its complicated Zoe."
"Megan, we've been best friends since we were born. We tell each other everything, so tell me."
"Ok fine...Remember when me and Logan went out to eat at that one AMAZING restaurant back in New Jersey?"
"Yea, why?"
"Well, after that we went back to his place and we slept together, and well I've been having stomach pains and I missed my period so I went to the doctors to get tested."
"You guys didn't use a condom or any protection?!"
"I told him to but he said it wouldn't fit. I didn't think much of it and I was caught up in the moment. Plus he said he'd pull out. But I guess he didn't."
"Oh my god Megan how could you be so irresponsible? You need to call them back right now."
"Ok ok. I will."
"NOW Megan!"
"Ok."
As she dialed the doctors office I couldn't help but think the worst. When she finally got off the phone she turned to me.
"I'm not pregnant." She said I sighed with relief. After that we finished unpacking what was left in the boxes and went to the store to get everything we needed. Clothes, food, drinks, shoes and we went down to the college campus to sign up for our classes and buy our text books. While we were there we got invited to a college party. And of course Megan convinced me to go even though I wanted to stay home and catch up on Orange Is The New Black. Once we got to the party, Megan immediately went over to find some guys I just followed cause I wasn't much of a party person. While I was following Megan I got lost in a crowd of tall college guys. A guy bumped into me and spilled his beer all over my shirt.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry."
He dragged me to the bathroom and grabbed some towels and started to pat me shirt.
"I'm so so sorry." He said over and over.
"Its not a big deal, its ok."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
After a was a little dry, he walked with me to find Megan and go home. We spent an hour looking for her. I tried texting her and even calling her. But still nothing. He agreed to walk me to my car since it was 3:30 in the morning. When we went to where my car was parked, it was gone.
"Megan must have taken it." I said.
"Well I'll walk you home if you'd like." He replied with a smile.
"No that's ok, I'll be alright."
"I'm sorry but I'm not lelling a gorgeous girl like you walk home all by yourself at 3 in the morning."
He walked me home and the whole time we just told each h other stuff about ourselfs. We got to know each other. Once we got to my apartment he walked me up the stairs. As I was struggling to find my keys in my bag we heard moaning coming from inside.
"Megan must have brought someone home from the party with her." I said embarrassed.
"Yep sounds like it." He said with a chuckle. I unlocked the door and opened it.
"Well thank you for walking me home." I said gratefully.
"No problem beautiful." He replied with a grin. I blushed and began to close the door.
"Wait. Can I have your number? I mean I only got to know a little bit about you, I wanna know more."
I gave him my number and he gave me his. We said goodbye and I went to bed.
