Chapter Twenty-Five : The End of the Dice

Hey Readers! Just wanted to say thank you very much for reading this story and that I hoped you all had amazing holidays! This is the last official chapter! But a epilogue (one chapter long) should be following up soon! Thank you!

The library was packed. Students bustled around, heads bobbing up and down between the armfuls of books they carried. May looked around flabergasted as we searched for a wooden table to sit at and study. She sighed deeply, her shoulders slumping with frustration. I sighed too.

Suddenly a bunch of males left a table near the back. I shouldered May hopefully as we sauntered on over and claimed it as ours.

The library was the watering hole of the university.

First come, First serve.

We wedged into the firm wooden chairs and dropped our books onto the table. We left the laptops at home, deciding old school studying would be the way for us today. I flipped open one of my text books and pulled out a scribbler filled with paper, a pen already in my mouth. 

I chewed on pens like a fourteen year old boy trolled the internet.

A lot.

May was already head frist into her text book, papers flooded around her end of the table as if her binder had vomitted them up. I stared down at my text book and began reading.

Half-way down the page my leg began vibrating. I ignored it. Two minutes later it vibrated with just as much urgency as the first time. I shook my headed and stared down at the lenghy paragraphs on buddism. My eyes scanned the page. I sighed with frustration as my leg vibrated again after another two minutes.

May looked up, a deapan express spread across her face. At any given moment I thought she would start drooling and fall over; she manage to just shake her head slightly and return to her book.

Reachign into my pocket I pulled out my phone. A text from Ricky was displaying itself across the screen. 

< Hey Cora, just wondering if everything is alright? Was it because of that guy last night at the cafe with the girl? You two seemed to know each other, Now prying sweetheart, you just looked upset and it's a wild guess. Text me, call me, play with me? ;)>

I smiled on the last bit. How male of him, it was a funny joke though. What an observant guy, I thought. Picked up on everything, props to him, props to him indeed. Gently I laid my head upon my open text book and yawned. 

" I'm going to bed." I announced a little to loudly to May, grabbing my books and avoiding the odd gazes I'd earned myself.

May was sprawled over her bed. Limbs hanging off the edges, blanket thrown across her body at odd angles and soft blonde curls spread across the pillows. She must be having a nice rest.

My cellphone read eight forty-one AM. I pulled the covers over my shoulders and dug my body deep into matress and pillows. My bed vibrated as if had all night long with texts from Ricky and Rogan.

All cute messages.

< How's my druid doing? Needing a dungeon masters company? the dungeon master would like yours. Don't mean any preasure, nerd on.>

< Me + You = coffee and good music?>

 I shoved my face into my pillow and bit down hard, as if the biting would release answers.

I didn't ask for boys, No, no I did not.

But I got two.

I got tall dark and nerdy and blonde and flirty.
