Hope We'll Meet Again

Hope's P.O.V.
"The music is so loud." I complained while nearly yelling over the noise. Tyrant laughed keeping a tight hold on my hand.

Walking a bit further into the dorm more people began paying me attention. I began getting a few smiles from various guys. I laughed nervously before leaning over to Tyrant.

"I feel weird." I laughed through a smile. He laughed through his teeth before responding, "You look hot Camille, who wouldn't stare?"

Letting out a deep nervous breath I took a look around the room and paused once I noticed a girl with curly hair carelessly thrown to the side. She stared me down while she drank whatever was in her cup.

Right away I knew she were no more than a sophomore and relatively close to me in age.

Looking away I turned back to Tyrant, "Do you know that girl, with the curly hair?" I asked. He slowly looked around the room before looking back down at me.

"Yeah, she's on the basketball team. She's really good."

"What's her name?" I inquired quietly.

"Tracy, she's cool. You wanna talk to her?" he asked. Glancing over my shoulder at her I bit my lip.

She looked at me as she leaned against the counter holding her cup in one hand.

She wanted me. I knew she did from the primal look in her eyes.

"Well?" Tyrant asked tapping me. "You did say you were a little curious about girls. Why not start with her?"

"Cami, it's six in the morning. Wake up."

Feeling my shoulder getting shook back and forth I rolled over in bed putting my face in the pillows.

"I don't want to get up." I mumbled. Feeling a harsh smack to my backside I flinched and rolled over. Looking at Gemini she pat my knee.

"Don't let your demons win today Camille."

She walked into the bathroom and closed the door, soon after I heard the shower water running. Sitting up I let out a deep breath. I began racking my mental, preparing for the day ahead of me.

Standing up I walked around the girls bed and opened the curtains letting in the little bit of light the world had to offer at six a.m.

Going into the bathroom I began brushing my teeth.

Good things are happening today Cami. Darrell would be happy for you.

Nodding to myself I spat in the sink and rinsed my mouth. The shower stopped and Gemini grabbed her towel from the rack.

"So I'm guessing, you're gonna be gone again today?" Gemini asked. I nodded to myself, "Yeah, we have to get everything settled today and figure out how we're gonna make this work."

The shower curtain pulled back and Gemini stepped out wrapped in her towel.

"I'm really proud of you. I'm glad that you're getting a business opportunity instead of some shabby job as a waitress or something." she said making me laugh.

"Anything is better than what I'm doing now." I replied.

Starting the shower I stripped out of my nightclothes.

"It's about time we take our clothes to a laundromat." I mumbled realizing how many days it's been.

"Gemini, we need to wash our clothes today." I said peeking out of the bathroom.
