Him

Chapter 3:

"Hey," I smiled as I answered the door.

"I think this belongs to you," he held my phone up and laughed.

"It does! Thanks so much for making the drive over here," I smiled.

"Oh, it was absolutely no problem. How are you feeling Ella?" He looked passed me and Ella looked at him with a blank stare on her face.

"She's better," I answered for her and shot her an evil glare.

"Okay, well I better run then," Liam could obviously feel the tension in the room.

"I'll walk you to the car," I offered.

We headed down the long hallway and passed a few people that I knew.

"Well, here I am," he motioned towards his car.

"Thanks again, maybe we could actually hangout one day," I was surprised by my boldness.

"Yeah, you say when!" He looked up at me.

"Tonight?" Again totally surprised by my eagerness.

"Absolutely, I'll pick you up at 7," he stepped in the car and I waved as he pulled out of the spot.

I turned and started walking back towards the dorms. I knew Ella would give me shit for this but she honestly had no idea what she was talking about. She was always so quick to judge people instead of actually getting to know them.

"What was that about?" I asked her and closed the door behind me.

"I don't know, he caught me off guard," she defended herself.

"Well, I'm going out with him tonight," I looked at her face in hopes to catch her real reaction.

"Oh," she looked down.

"You can't be mad at me, you don't know anything about him," I told her.

"Neither do you," she fired back.

She was right. That was exactly why I wanted to go out with him because there was just something about him that I needed to know more about.

"I can't even get you to go out with me," she teased me and threw a pillow onto my bed.

"Maybe if you were cuter," I teased.

She stuck her tounge out at me and started to scroll through her phone.

"Who was that guy you were with last night? If you remember," I joked.

"I don't, I remember the sex being good," she laughed.

"I'm surprised you remember that much."

I decided that I wanted to eat a little something so I headed towards the center of campus to grab a bite. It felt pretty cold outside and I smiled as I shivered because I loved the weather.

"I'll have a burrito bowl please," I asked the boy behind the counter.

I started to rattle off my toppings of choice and pulled out my wallet to pay. I was mindful to not forget the chips and guacamole Ella requested because she wasn't able to eat real food.

I grabbed the brown paper bag and headed back towards the room.

"That smells so good, I'm gonna puke," she laughed.

"Dig in," I tossed her chips at her.

'So where are you guys even going tonight?" She asked as she chomped down on some chips.

"I don't know," I took a large bite of my burrito.

"Well how do you know what to wear?" She had to question everything. Literally everything.
