We had been playing Tetris non-stop for hours now. I personally love Tetris, and so does Michael. The other guys didn't find it very "macho" of us. I couldn't give two shits what they think though, I mean, I'm a jock for crying out loud!

I admit, I have a softer side. Especially for Bri. She is the sweetest thing, and I'm sure I blew my chances with her. Her brown eyes and sandy hair, on top of her sunny caramel skin. If that's not hot, then shoot me. I wish I could tell her how I feel. The way we relate is through our love of cooking. She is the sexiest sous chef I know. And I blew it.

Sometimes I imagine us in the kitchen. She hums her fragile song. I smile at her, then reach to grab her hand as she mixes, and put the other on her waist. We dance in unison, so delicately. She smudges a bit of the batter on my nose. And then, the dream stops. Reality sinks in.

And if I told one of the guys, I'd get eaten alive and ripped to shreds. It seems the guy standard is to not care for a girl's feelings, but rather her looks. Well, I've read enough Greek plays and epics to know that's simply not true. Love is a serious and amazing thing. And damn it, if I can't have Bri, I can't call myself Zacharie Jean Borealment!

Sorry, too much? What? I love her! Sadly though, I'll have to put that behind me. Pals before gals, right? Sometimes I'm not so sure. OMT never gave me any great friends really. Being part of a fraternity just kind of set me out of place. I mean really, how many frat boy/football players do you see with American hair, Canadian descent, and speaks fluent Greek? I'm a hot mess!

Bri probably wouldn't like me anyways. Looks wise, I'm the total package, but I never have a way with words when it comes to girls, not like Ray or Kevin.

I finally finished level 68, when my fingers spazzed out on me. I swear I'll have arthritis one day. My coach got me a PT since I broke my hand last year, but I've been stubborn about it. Michael made it to 75 and called it quits for the night. I turned off the PS3 with a yawn.

As I announced my going to bed the guys booed.

"What?" I asked. "I've got a physics exam review at 6:00. I gotta hit the hay!" "Night, Woosy.", Ray responded smartly.

I trudged up the stairs, undeterred by his smart ass comment.

Of course, I wasn't actually going to bed. I turned my MacBook on and waited for it to start up.

"Hello, Zman34@CCCstudentteam.com. Please enter your password."

Nobody could guess my password. Not in a million years. I typed it in. ZachnBri8. Eight because the computer didn't have an infinity symbol, but no need for mushy crap, right? What I was really doing was viewing her student profile, it's got her general likes and dislikes, which I would need to know.

Her account? BriG_is_for_gymnast@CCCstudentteam.com. Of all the Briannas, she was the only one who used her nickname on the student media website. I carefully read her background.

Name? Brianna Gonzalez.

Age? 20.

Height? 5'4". That was pretty tall, considering she was a gymnast.

Interests? Cooking, Gymnastics, Roller Coasters.

Dislikes? Kpop, Math, Vampire Stories.

What do you like in a guy? Tall (check), athletic (check), good looking (check), enjoys cooking (check), romantic occasionally (why not?).

I fit into each category. That was saying something. I continued down her profile. The truth is, this is a nightly routine for me. To see if she's updated or anything. Eventually I shut it down for the night. And no need to guess what I dreamt about...

Sorry this one is kind of short. We have been having some serious writers block. We know what we want to do further into the book but we are having a hard time coming up with the stuff leading up to it. We'll try to make the next one longer. And I hope you continue to read it. We have been getting fewer and fewer reads on each chapter. :( This one was atually written by Nat but edited by me, Zoe.

Well thanks for everything and I will probably be writing more than Nat since I am going to be less busy than she is and I have been practically bored out of my mind. Hope you like everything! And remember to comment and tell us what you think!
