EVEN THOUGH I loved spending time with Chase, I really missed girl time with Vera and Penn. The three of us were in Vera's dorm room. Her one was the biggest of the three so it only made sense that we would hang out there. I think Vera's roommate Olivia is finally getting use to me because she actually said hi to me. 

Okay, so maybe she just waved and then gapped it out of the room but I'm still counting it. 

"And look how happy he is here! Look at his dorky smile." Vera gushes as she faces her phone towards us. It was a picture of Vera and in bed. They're wrapped up in the sheets together and Sam is taking the photo while Vera reaches out to stop him. It was really cute. 

I lean forward when my eyes catch something, "Wait, Sam has a tattoo?" 

"Yeah, it's latin." Vera says as she zooms into the inside of his bicep, "And I think it means 'while i breathe, i hope'." 

"Wow, Sammy boy isn't as goody-two-shoes as I thought." I scoff as I lean back in Vera's pink fluffy desk chair. I tilt my head back, stare up at the roof and spin around on the revolving chair. I felt like I was floating in space, partially because of the pressure squeezing my brain.

"I miss him so much." Vera pouts as she stares at her phone. I've never seen her this in love before. Guys use to confess their love for Vera on the daily, giving her gifts and making her extremely uncomfortable. There was a time when I honestly thought she was more interested in girls than boys. The room goes quiet as I stop spinning.

Penn was holding up the ends of her hair so they just touched her collarbone, "Do you think I'd look good with short hair?" 

"You'd look good bald, darling. It's actually so fucking unfair." Vera replies as she rolls onto her stomach and stare at Penn who was sitting at the end of her bed. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"The volleyball is actually just advanced hot potato?" Penn clarifies with a straight face. God she was so much like her boyfriend. 

"What—no—I was thinking that we should cut it." Vera grins evilly as she pushes up onto her knees, "So?" 

"I mean...Hayden?" Penn asks me for input as her eyes slowly find me across the room. 

"Girls only cut their hair during a mental breakdown." I explain as I fold one leg over the other. 

"Well, I'm in a perpetual state of mental breakdowns so let's go!" Penn cheers as she jumps from the bed. 

And that's how we find ourselves in the second floor bathroom of Arlington Hall with two pairs of craft scissors and very shitty hair dressing skills. 

"Are you ready?" Vera questions, glancing at Penn through the reflection of the mirror. Penn nods slowly, holding onto my hand as Vera snips down on the length of hair we had sectioned with hair tie. It falls to the ground, leaving Penn with her naturally straight hair brushing her collarbone.
