Chapter 5
"Hey Trina," I say into my phone as everyone else in the room watches me. They all try their best to refrain from laughing after my remark regarding the incoming call.

"Baby, you didn't call last night! You promised you would! I stayed up a whole extra hour waiting from you." She says. I frown because I can hear the disappointment dripping from her voice. I immediately feel guilty.

"I'm so sorry, baby. It was just a really long day. I basically passed out as soon as I laid down." I say and I watch Erika bite her lip to keep her from laughing. I just glare at her which makes her giggle a bit.

"Who's that?" Trina asks, her voice filled with immediate panic.

"It's my roommate," I answer cautiously.

"Your roommates are girls?" She says. Trina isn't usually a jealous type but I'm sure any girl would be nervous to find out that their boyfriend is now rooming with other girls.

"I have three roommates. I share a room with Finn and Mel and Erika share a room," I explain, trying to ease her anxiety.
"Oh, so you're not actually sleeping in the same room?" She asks, releasing a strong breath.

"No Trina, of course not." I say.

"Okay, that's not bad. How's your morning?"

I walk into my own room and close the door behind me so I can talk to her in privacy. I told her about getting pizza last night, I told her about my roommates, and I told her about how I might be getting hired at Trader Joe's. She's always been a great listener and she lets me go on without interruption.

"Wow, it seems like you have everything figured out already." She tells me in a solemn tone.

"Better if you were here with me," I say but she only sighs. "How are you though?"

She tells me how things are at home and how she misses me and stuff like that. Trina is staying at home for college, so she won't be moving out or anything like that.
Not much is new with her, it's still her summer and it's really only been two days since I've seen her. As she talks, I rest my head against my pillow and listen to her voice. Her voice has always been so calming and sweet to me but now I find myself wishing it still meant just as much to me as it used to.

The more she speaks the more I realize just how much I miss her. Well, maybe not her exactly but the feelings I used to feel for her. Things have changed a lot over summer. I've grown a lot and even though she's an awesome person, I feel like she lacks the motivation that drives me. I wish she shared the same mindset as me. She didn't even want to go to college, her parents are making her.

"What are you going to do for the rest of the day?" She asks me.

"I'm not sure yet. I know for sure that I'm going to be applying for that job online after we get off the phone. I'll probably walk around campus and get familiar with things. How about you?" I politely ask back.

"I'll probably go see Margert or Rachel," She says. They're her two best friends and both equally annoying. I never liked hanging out with them.

"Oh, that'll be fun," I lie.

"I'm excited. I need to get out. I've been laying in bed since you left," Her voice breaks my heart but I just frown.

"I'm sorry baby," I don't know what else to say.

"It's okay. I should probably get going," She says, and I hate to admit that I'm glad that this conversation will end.
