What happens in College

Chapter eight How was the party?

Mari's pov
I got back to my dorm and saw Boze on her bed with a bunch of books.
I close the door and stand there for a few minutes.
"Hey Boze" I greet, smiling.
She looks up at me and smiles.
"Hey girl" She greets back.
I walk over to the bathroom and she follows.
"So how was the party?" She asks as I brush my hair.
"It was fun" I reply, simply.
I don't know if I should tell her what happened.
"Come on. I can tell that there's more to it than that. Not to mention the fact that you've been gone all day" She states, crossing her arms.
"Can we sit on the beds and talk about it?" I ask, nervously fiddling with my fingers.
Boze nods and we walk out the bathroom and sit on my bed.
"Mari. I can tell that you're nervous, so something must have happened" She says.
"Well..." I hesitate.
I tell her everything that I remember from last night, from seeing Wes there, to having a few drinks and the dancing then the drinking contests.
"Wow. Sounds like you had a great night" She comments.
"I'm not finished yet" I tell her and she gives me a look, telling me to continue.
"After all the drinking, we were so drunk and so out of it that we started making out but then it turned into something more" I explain and Boze looks at me in realisation and shock.
"Oh my god! Did you guys...?" She questions, standing up.
"Well this morning I woke up in a strange room with a bad hangover, naked and with Wes" I confess.
Boze starts pacing around the room with her hands on her head.
"Oh my god Mari!" She exclaims, looking at me, smiling.
"You actually had sex!" She squeals.
"Sh! Can you keep it down? Other people live round here!" I state to shut her up.
"I'm sorry dude, but wow!" She replies, laughing excitedly.
I shake my head, unimpressed with her reaction and go back into the bathroom to take a much needed shower.

Wes's pov
I just got back to my dorm room and I need to sleep because I am exhausted.
"Hey man, good party?" Joven asks me.
Oh shit! I forgot about Joven.
"Yeah, I... had a great time" I reply, too tired to talk about it.
"Was that girl you love there?" He asks, smirking. I haven't told Joven that me and Mari are together, I haven't even told him her name.
I quickly look at him with shock for a moment but yawn.
"Ah so she was! I bet she made the party even more interesting for you. But also, where have you been all day?" He asks.
"Fine Joven. Yes she was there and we hung out today" I confess to him because I know that he'll just be trying all night to get it out of me and I just want to sleep!
"Ok then explain this. I came back early this morning and your bed hadn't been touched all night, and I can tell that you haven't changed your clothes, meaning you went to the party in those very clothes and didn't come back last night, after the party or this morning to change" Joven explains.
Oh crap! I think he's onto me.
"What exactly is your point dude?" I ask, trying to look confused and innocent.
"I'm saying that you stayed somewhere else last night and I think the girl you like is involved.
So I conclude that you and that girl were both at the party, drinking and having sex" He says, smirking, obviously feeling proud of himself.
I sigh and look down then back up at him.
I'm too tired to argue and I know that if I try to deny it, he'll just call bullshit so I just tell him the truth.
"Ok Joven, you caught me" I state in defeat.
"Wait what?" He asks confused.
"You were right. I did get drunk and sleep with her" I tell him and walk over to my bed.
Joven looks at me in shock.
"S...s...so...so wait a minute...wait a minute" He stutters.
"You're actually being serious?" He asks, pointing at me.
"Yyyyeeaahh?" I reply, slowly out of confusion.
"Oh my god dude!" He exclaims, rubbing his face.
"What?" I ask.
"I didn't think I was right. I mean yes, you would be drinking with her and partying but the sex" He replies, standing up.
"So then wait. How long have you two been together?" Joven asks me.
I sigh and run my hand through my hair.
"Three months" I state.
"Oh my god man" He grunts, pacing.
"Well look Joven. I've had a long day, my head still hurts from my hangover so I'm going to take some painkillers and go to sleep because I don't want to stay awake all night and listen to you being an asshole and judging me about my life!" I yell and walk into the bathroom.
"I can tell this though man. Last night will have been the biggest mistake of your life!" Joven shouts.
I try to ignore him but what does he mean?
Last night was not a mistake and Mari's right, this is the next step in our relationship.
I take a painkiller and change into some comfy pjs and go to bed.
As I fall asleep I start to think about what both Mari and Joven said.
Mari thinks it wasn't a mistake but Joven thinks it was.
I don't know what it was, I mean I feel good about it but I can't help but think that it might have been too soon.
I'll sort it out as time goes on but now I need to sleep.
