confusing feelings

I was shaken into awareness by what I could only describe, pre opening my eyes, as a wet, lumpy and harsh tongue running trough my cheeks.

What the hell. 

I jumped up, startled and mostly confused out of my mind, my eyes were still fogged by the drowsiness but I still could see the outline of Eva's body approach my bed. 

''Oh no, no. Athena get down there!'' Eva whispered a shout. 

''You got a cat?'' I yell after my vision becomes clear and allows me to acknowledge the black cat now purring in Eva's arms. 

''Don't be mad! She was lost, and scared and hungry... I couldn't leave her!'' The girl cried out, calling for my mercy. 

''Did she have a collar?'' I ask softly, jumping from the eminence of my bed.

''No! She's most likely a stray!'' I glanced from Eva's hopeful eyes to the cats and back to Eva. 

''Okay, well.'' I looked around, hands in my waist. ''We can't have pets in our dorm babe, what are we going to do?'' 

''I was hoping we could keep her in total secrecy.'' She flashed me a huge smile. ''Lara Jean agreed!'' Of course LJ agreed, she wanted a cat since she was out the womb, something she'd have gotten if her sister wasn't allergic. 

''I don't know Eva.''  I hesitated. ''If anyone finds out we're out of here before we can blink!'' 

''There's no way anyone will find out!'' She reasons and I proceed to caress the cat's soft chin. Affection which, it seems to enjoy massively for it meow's for more as I back away. I was clearly rendered then and there.

''Okay, guess we have a cat now!'' I took my hands to my ears as an instant reflex after Eva shrieked loudly, celebrating my acceptance. ''Let's not cause an uproar though, you don't want to bring attention to our illegalities.'' Eva shrugged yet her huge smile didn't fade. 

''Don't you have classes?'' She asked, letting our new fur friend on her bed. She curled into a ball and purring loudly closed its bright green eyes.

''I do!'' I affirm glancing at the squared clock over her desk. 

''I'd love to assist one of your classes. Like, what do ya'll even do?'' She chuckled

''Honestly, I do not know.'' I chuckled as well, collecting my toiletries. ''Though I know I want that for my life. You feel me?''

''I feel you babe. Sometimes I'm in my anatomy class and I don't even know what the teacher's talking about but I like it!''

''Well, remind me to never go to you if my teeth hurt.'' I tease, kissing her forehead before exiting the room and dragging my feet across the horribly carpeted floor of the hallway towards the showers.

''Hold the door!'' Someone calls behind me and even though I don't have to look around to be sure who it is, I do.

''We say please where I come from!'' I said, facing Peter and holding the door as asked.

Peter had just woken up and I could tell that from a mile afar, let alone a feet apart. His hazel eyes were puffy with the upper eyelids dropped forward, his lips were extremely plump and well his hair looked like he went to war and returned, during his rest.

He's adorable.

No Rita. No he's not. 

''Thank you.'' He smiles back, closing the shower's door behind us. ''Haven't seen you in a while.''
