I woke up kind of early but my early is like 12pm so Leslie was already out and about. I immediately grabbed some clothes and my other stuff to go hit the shower room and start my whole day. I was not the only one in the shower rooms because not all girls wanted to get up early on a Saturday anyways. There was so many parties and gatherings that ive been invited to but I'm hesitant about it. I hopped out of the mini booth all dressed. I wore a fringed palm tree crop top, a high level waisted vintage blue shorts and my black Toms. I did some light makeup and put all of my hair on the top of my head in a messy lazy bun. I went back to my dorm to drop off some stuff and grab my phone and stuffed some money in my back pocket. I didn't really have plans with anyone. Mostly because nobody asked me but I enjoy my own company anyways.

I arrived at this bench and sat there for awhile taking in the view of the entire campus. Nobody was sitting down but me so I decided to put my feet up and listen to music and just go on Twitter. I felt  tap on my shoulder and looked up. It was Jacob. "Hey you want to come join me and some friends we're going to hang out and hit some parties later, you want come?", he said smiling at looking over at the boys. I honestly wanted to go but I wanted time alone. "Um, no thanks bro I think I'm going to hang here for awhile maybe I'll meet up with you guys later or something. Okay ?", I responded and he just nodded as if he knew I was going to reject the offer. "Okay so have fun?", he said giggling and poking me. I just swatted his hand until I didn't feel him poking me anymore and put my earphones back on and went back on Twitter. I was just looking on Leslie's profile until I felt another tap I kind of felt it was Jacob so I swatted it again and shooed him off. Little did I know he tapped again and I took off my earphones and looked up "What Jaco-", I quickly cut myself off at the sight off a very confused Derek. "Oh, I'm sorry I thought it was Jacob again", I said removing my legs from the rest of the bench. "It's okay", he replied. It was awkward silence but then I remembered he tapped me so I want to know what he wants. "So, why'd you tap me?", I asked glancing at my phone to kill some of the awkwardness. He sat beside me. "Right.. Um Phoebe", he suddenly stopped and I motioned for him to continue with my hands. "I want to take you on a picnic on the floor", he said nervously. "On the floor ?", I said raising an eyebrow. "I meant do you want to go on a picnic with me on the grass ?", he said smirking. "Sure", I replied. He smiled and nodded. "Cool um so I'll meet you on the top of the hill over there ?", He pointed and I flashed my dimple. He nodded. "So around 5 when people are going to all the parties on campus we can just hang out", he smirked making me blush a little. I agreed and he went off. I was kind of relieved when he left. I immediately went over to my dorm and tried to do something else with my hair. To at least show that I put in effort. I quickly began to straighten my hair and then curled it and made them cascade on my shoulders.

It was just about that time to meet Derek on the hill. I was so afraid. So scared that I would do or say something stupid. I put some perfume on and rushed out of the dorm. I quickly exited the campus and made my way over to the hill which was pretty vacant. I saw Derek from a small distance. There was a purple sheet on the grass and fruit bowls and juice in little cute cups which made me smile for his cute attempt to impress me. He saw me coming and quickly got up and greeted me with a hug which wasn't all awkward I kind of liked it. "This is adorable", I said as we both sat down and a smile spread across his pink lips. He was wearing a fitted black t-shirt and dark denim jeans with red converses. "You look great", he said trying to make conversation. "You do too", I said grabbing a grape smiling like an idiot. "So you should tell me more about yourself", I said as he ran his fingers through his curly hair. I found that really attractive by the way I have no idea why. "Well, I'm 18 . My birthday is November 2nd. I used to live with my parents and my baby brother Deren. I played football back in high school and um now I'm here with you", he said grinning. "Cool so I guess you want to know about me too huh ?", I asked and he nodded . "I'm also 18 my birthday was a month ago August 5-", I stopped as he interjected to wish me a happy belated birthday. I giggled. "Anyways, I kind of live in this snotty rich kid neighborhood where the guys are ass holes and the girls are really bitchy. I live there with my mom and dad. I'm an only child. But now I'm here.. with you", I said trying to mimic his masculine raspy voice but failed miserably and he just laughed at me. "So is this like a first date or something?", I asked playing with my hair. "You can say that, I know you like me so yeah", he said jokingly as I pushed him lightly. "Whatever", I said blushing again. I can't stop freakin' blushing !
