Chapter 4

I groan hearing Gina bump into her nightstand and mutter a swear under her breath. "Shit that hurt!" Gina whisper yells before I throw my pillow at her. What? It's Saturday and I can sleep in instead of get up early.

Wait... it's Saturday.

Brad wants to take me somewhere tonight.

I groan and throw my head back onto my mattress.

In case you haven't noticed I'm not exactly the type of girl that goes out and gets drunk at parties and hooks up with guys. I'm more like the girl that will be watching Netflix all night with her roommate.

What? Don't judge us.

I look at the alarm clock to see that it's going on noon. I roll my eyes knowing that Gina won't let me sleep much later than this. I sit up and stretch my arms out to the side and extended my back. I crack my neck before I swing my legs over the bed and walk over to Gina.

Gina is currently brushing her teeth and scowling at herself in the mirror when she hears me knock on the bathroom door. She jumps and places her hands over her ears. "Ah Leah! What the hell were you thinking?"

I shake my head, classic Gina was out partying again, "How was I supposed to know you're hungover?"

Gina shakes her head and spits out the toothpaste, "You should be used to it by now."

I chuckled at her and send her a small smile, "And you have to deal with the consequences."

Gina rolled her eyes and gargalled some water in her mouth before she bent over the sink to spit the water out. "So what movies do you wanna watch tonight?"

I suck in my lower lip and look down slightly, "Uhhh yeah about that," Gina turns around and gives me a confused look on her face, "Uh I think I'm gonna have to bail on movie night tonight."

Gina's jaw drps and her wide eyes fall on me, "You never bail on movie night."

I nod my head and stumble over my words a little bit, "I-I know Gina, but I kind of can't reschedule this-"

Suddenly Gina's eyes widen and she shoves me against the wall, "No way!"

I look at her with a shocked expression on my face and point at my shoulder that hit the wall, "Uh ow!"

Gina shakes her head but kets a smile spread across her face, "You're going out with that Brad guy tonight aren't you?!"

I shake my head slightly with my jaw dropped and try to act surprised, "What? No! Why would you even think that?!"

Gina's smile widens and she shakes her head, "Leah it's so obvious! The guy has been sending you so many texts since Wednesday and you've been practically glued to your phone."

My jaw drops in mock denial, "Do not!"

"Do too!" Gina counters back with before I lightly shove her away from me.

I turn and walk out the bathroom as fast as possible before I twist my body around towards the bathroom, "Let me know when your delusions stop!"

Gina laughs at me before I hear her shut the door. I look at my dresser to see my phone lit up with a new message from Brad.

I'm coming to get you at 7. Send me your dorm room number.

I run my hand through my hair one last time before I hear someone knock on the door. I take a quick glance down at my body to make sure nothing's wrinkled. My black crop top flows down my torso to just above my belly button before it separates into fringes that reach the top of my high waisted shorts.
