I crossed my legs and watched his hands glide along the neck of the guitar. He did it with such ease. He played the first note just as all the others came in. Tony sighed and I put my hand on his. He stood up and grabbed my hand. We ran out of the room together. I heard the others yelling for us but didn't turn back. We ran through the corridors and stopped in a dark hallway. We both started laughing really hard. He sat on the floor and patted the ground next to him. I sat down and he played the first note. I smiled as he played. He had such a nice voice. I started mentally preparing myself to sing. 

                    "If I were you, I'd put that away. See you're just wasted and thinking 'bout the past again. Darlin', you'll be okay. And she said;"

                    "If you were me, you'd do the same. 'Cause I can't take anymore. I'll draw the shades and close the door. Everything's not alright and I would rather...."

He smiled at me as he continued to play. He sang the last verse and ended the song. 

                    "Can I see your guitar?"

He removed the strap from his neck and gave it to me. I gently laid it in my lap and looked at it. I rubbed my hand against the strings and remembered when Jake had tried to teach me how to play. I wasn't very good. I broke many of his strings because I was being too rough. I remembered how he had put his hands on mine and showed me chords. Of course, I forgot all of them. I ran my right hand down the neck. I smiled to myself.

                    "What are you smiling about?"

                    "Memories."

I smiled and rested my head on the body of the guitar. Tony scooted closer to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I put the guitar down leaned my body against him. He laid down and brought me down with him. I rolled on top of him and rested my chin on his chest. He smiled up at me and played with my hair. I turned my head to the right and laid on my cheek. He would occasionally rub my back brush my cheek with his fingertips. I was getting sleepy. I turned my head to look at him. I groaned and he giggled. 

                    "I'm sleepy."

                    "Here. I'll carry you back. You just have to hold the guitar for me."

                    "Okay."

I rolled off of him and he got up. I grabbed onto the guitar and he picked me up in his arms bridal style. I rested my head in his neck. We slowly approached his room and I opened the door. Jaime came over and grabbed the guitar. Tony gently placed me on the bed. I stood up.

                    "I'm gunna go to bed."

                    "I'll come with you until you fall asleep."

I smiled and lead him to my room. I unlocked the door and went straight to my bed. I got under the covers and stretched my back out. I looked at Tony.

                    "You gunna come snuggle with me?"

He took off his dress shoes, coat and tye. I moved the blanket out of the way and he got in. I cuddled my head into his shoulder and he kissed the top of it. We didn't talk. I just went through all of my memories and kept smiling. Soon, I fell asleep. I woke up the next morning to Lindsay snoring. I giggled and got out of bed. I noticed a note on my desk;

Good morning beautiful. How'd you sleep? You looked like an angel last night. Let's hang out today after classes? I would enjoy that :) If I don't see you before class, I hope you have a good day. If I do see you before classes, I'll say it again and give you a biiiiiiig hug! -turtle

I hugged the note to my chest and smiled. I got out my secret box with the lock and put it inside. I keep money and precious memories in there. I locked it and went to my dresser.

I got my shampoo, conditioner, body wash, razor and towel. I also grabbed my clothes. I grabbed a pair of undies, a bra, black skinnies with huge holes in  the knees, a white tanktop and a pink short sleeve low-cut shirt. I opened my door quietly and shut it quietly making sure not to wake Lindsay. I went into the bathroom and got into a shower stall. I turned it on and undressed. I got in and shaved my legs and underarms first. I then shampooed my hair and used my coconut body wash. I washed my whole body and rinsed off. I put the conditioner in and let it sit for a few minutes. When I finished, I turned off the shower and dried my body. I put on my clothes and gathered my stuff. I left and went back into my room. I styled my hair correctly and air dried it. I turned on my hair straightener and put deodarant on. I put black liquid eyeliner on and let it dry. I straightened my bangs and they fell perfectly across my forehead. I then straightened the rest of it and grabbed my light gray beanie. I put it on and unplugged my straightener. I grabbed my toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash and went back to the bathroom. I sloshed the mouthwash around my mouth then spat it out. I then brushed my teeth and went back to my room. I grabbed purple socks and put them on. I put on my vans and then went through my make-up bag to find some lip gloss. I found a clear one that tasted like watermelons. I put it on then looked over myself in the mirror. I was satisfied.

I grabbed my phone off the desk and turned it on. I had a few texts from my mom asking how it is. I also got a few from my best friend Kennedy. I got a few notifications sent to my phone too. Three people I didn't know wanted to be my friend on facebook. No thanks. I texted Tony asking if he was awake. He didn't answer so I assumed he was. I left my phone in my room and walked around the dorm just so I could look around. 

The dorm was like a maze. I had no idea where I was. A boy was walking towards me and I guess he noticed my confused face.

                    "Don't know where you are, do you?"

I laughed nervously.

                    "No...."

He pointed down the hall.

                    "The elevators are right there,"

                    "OH! Thank you!"

I smiled and waved then went to the elevators. I knew where to go from there.
