That night, I had some trouble sleeping because G fell asleep right away without talking or anything, and I thought that having a friend as a roommate would be awesome, like an endless sleepover.

But at 8:30, she said goodnight and conked out.

I was really mad at first, but I realized how exhausted I was myself. But the room was pitch-black because G said she couldn't sleep with light and it was death-silent, because G said she couldn't sleep with noise.

The only sound was G's soft breathing.

I lay awake, tired but unable to fall asleep, and I realized how difficult this was really going to be.

My thoughts switched to Sabrina. She seemed nice, and she'd said we could be friends.

I wish she was my roommate instead of G.

All night, I thought of Rowan. I didn't fall asleep till 11:30. Jamie said she needed the TV on, and that was good with me, but what ticked me off was that she snored so loud.

She is a terrible roommate. On every level of idiot.

Secretly, I wished I had a room with Rowan.

I needed my sleep, because I can't wake up with bags replacing my freckles. I fell asleep right away, and I know Matthew did, too. If he takes his looks seriously like me, he would've. And it seems like he did because he awoke without a single bag under any eye.

"Well played, Reece," I told him, narrowing my eyes. "Well played."

He had smirked and went down for breakfast.

I think Jake is pretty cool. He might be friend-worthy... If he ups his game. He was typing on his laptop all night instead of sleeping.

So guess who has wrinkly eyelids today?

I was up most of the night writing this story I've been working on.

I know it's dorky, but I want to be an author and illustrator one day. I was working on Microsoft Word and Microsoft Paint. I'm writing this story called Life or Death. It's about this-

"Hey, Jake. Wanna get some breakfast?"

Cameron was awake. I set down my laptop and looked at him. Now that I thought about it, I was famished. "Yeah. Do you know where to go?" I asked.

"Yeah. There's a huge food-court next to the girl's dorm. So you coming? I was thinking some Denny's." "They have a Denny's here?" I cried, jumping up. Cameron nodded. "Yeah! Lets go."

I plugged in my laptop, threw on a sweatshirt, and followed Cameron out the door.

Sabrina knocked on my dorm room door this morning. G rolled over and snorted, and I jumped up and answered it.

She asked me if I wanted to go to the food court for breakfast. I said yes, and invited G along, but she said something about 'I hate pancakes' and snuggled up again.

I shrugged and told Sabrina I'd meet her in the lounge in a second. I changed into a red knee-high dress with black leather boots and a jean waist-high jacket and rushed to the lounge.

She led me out of the dorm and across a pathway lined with flowers to the food court.

As we walked in, the two guys from the other day, Cameron and Jake, were going in, too.

Cameron is so dreamy. I'm sorry, I can't help it! Jake was staring at me. He's pretty cute, too. I kept my eyes on my boots, though. I didn't want to seem like a freak.

Sabrina tried to pull me along, but Cameron spoke so she was forced to stop and listen. "Hey, guys," he said coolly.

Jake smiled.

Ooh.... I'm definitely crushing on Jake, no doubt about it. Hm... I'm still thinking about Cameron. Maybe he'll forever remain the dreamy one, while Jake will be my crush.

"Where you guys going to eat?" Cameron continued.

"Denny's," Sabrina said hotly. "C'mon, Rowan."

But Cameron kept taking. "Us, too. Lets sit at the same table. Want to?"

His eyes met mine. I looked down again. But not at my feet. At Jake's.

Heehee...

Sabrina rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. Finally, she sighed and said, "Fine. But you better not-"

"Cool!" Cameron interrupted just a little too loudly.

That confused me. What did Sabrina know?
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
We met Jake and Cameron at the food court and I agreed to sit with them. We entered the mini-Denny's shop and sat down at the same table. I refused to meet his eyes.

He was doing it again. To Rowan. She kept looking at him, but when he turned to her she looked down and turned red. He did that to me once. And he was going to do it to Rowan. And I wasn't going to let that happen.

I warned him already. I tried. But he interrupted me. I'm going to have to tell Rowan... Before its too late.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
That was close. Like, way close. I know Sabrina's going to tell Rowan, but I won't do it again. I know Rowan's still thinking about me, but she's got it for Jake.

That's fine with me. I just need some lady-friends anyway. Even if they're not into me.

No way Sabrina is, but I might have a chance with Rowan. Not that I want one, but I need some kind of girlfriend. I mean, what girl wouldn't want this?

I guess not Sabrina.

I kinda like Rowan but she keeps staring at Cameron and I don't think I have a chance. Sabrina seems too moody and dark for my type, so that's that.

I envy Cameron.
