Roommates

Chapter 6

I woke up the next morning to pain in my hand. 

"Jesus Christ." I mumbled under my breath, and then I took my hand and unwrapped it. 

 At this moment I remembered what happened last night. Me and Jake made out, for 10 minutes. Shit. Why was I so stupid? Why did I have to kiss him in the first place? Why did he have to help me anyway, it's not like he really cares. Or does he?

I got out of bed, brushed my teeth, took a shower, and got dressed. After that, I looked at my phone and I had 26 missed calls from Gianna and 10 texts from Mallory. Just Great. Now they care, really. I then grabbed my wallet and keys and headed out of my room to go get the wrap for my hand. And of course Jake was out in the kitchen with his morning cup of coffee. 

"Hey, how's that hand of yours?" 

"It's fine." I said looking down at my hand only to see that my knuckles were a little yellow and I had a couple of small cuts. 

"Do you want me to wrap it for you?" he asked with a cute look on his face.

God, why does he have to look like that?

"Thanks but I think I'm fine." 

"You said that last night too and your hand was bleeding and you weren't fine." he looked at me with his beautiful eyes and smile. "You know I'm going to wrap it anyway right?"

"I was hoping you didn't say that." I said walking over to him.

"Sure." he said sarcastically, sipping his coffee and then setting it down to get to wrap.

I sat in silence while he was wrapping it because I didn't really want to bring up last night and what happened. After about three minutes he was finally done and I could go now.

"So..uh...do you want to talk about last night?" he asked

Of course, he had to ask this. 

"Nope," I said and started to walk away towards the door.

"Wait. Where are you going?" 

"I'm going to the cafe with Bryce."

"Oh." he said looking down and his smile changed to a disappointed frown. 

I probably should have asked him if he wanted to come with me but I wasn't really in the mood to talk to him. 

"Bye," I said then quickly left before he could answer.

Once I got into the hall Mallory and Gianna walked out from their dorm room and ran over to me. Can this horrible day just end already?

"Omg, Lyn are you okay?" Gianna asked

"Yea, what happened last night with your hand," Mallory said. "Why didn't you just call us?" 

"You guys were busy. I didn't think you'd care anyway." I said looking at them with a smirk

"Of course we would care that you dropped a plate on your hand." Gianna said

"What?" I asked, a plate on my hand?

"Yea, Jake called us and told us this morning and told us  that you accidentally dropped a glass plate on your hand and it shattered." Mallory said

Wait, Jake lied to them. For...me? 

"Uh yeah, that's what happened. But, uh..I'm fine."

"Okay," Mallory said with a concerned look on her face

"Anyway, bye." I said and then took off down the hall to get away from them. 

Wow, Jake lied for me. And I was a complete ass to him this morning. Why do I have to be so rude to people? Great.
