Him

Chapter 4

After months I'm actually excited about going to a party. I leave Zo to herself to get ready and find my way back to my room. Its trickier than I thought.

As I walk towards my door, I hear voices coming from inside my room. What? I thought I didn't share a room with anyone.

I quickly open the door to see who's inside. I wish I hadn't opened that door. I see someone sprawled across the bed as a pretty blonde straddles his waist.

"What the fuck." The almost naked blonde says.

"Oh my God. I'm so sorry." I apologise embarrassingly. I quickly turn my head to the other side and cover my face.

"I didn't think I'd share my room with anyone and I..."

"Okay, can you leave so I can enjoy my time with my man."

Rude much. I choke under my breath.

"No. This was fun, but I have to leave. And I'm not your man." A familiar voice interrupts arrogantly.

Eww. And she couldn't sit her naked ass on her own bed. I mentally remind myself to throw those duvets away.

I hear footsteps approaching me and I finally see him. Why is he everywhere?
Its Shawn.

"You." I say with my mouth hanging opened.

"Are you stalking me?" He asks.

"I would ask you the same question."

Why do I feel a little hurt. Oh my God Jessica, get over it. He's way out of your league anyway. He likes blondes too, your brunette hair isn't attractive, my conscious adds.

"Wait you know each other?" The blonde asks.

"Oh yes. We're very good friends." Shawn replies with an almost evil smirk on his face.

"No we aren't. I don't even know him. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready for a party." I say as I slam the door shut in his face.

Why do I feel like my life is about to get really interesting.

"You're going to the party?" The blonde asks.

"I'm Tia...and you are?" She adds as she gets off of my bed and pulls her mini skirt up.

"Jessica."

"Cute. I'm leaving early for the party and I probably won't be coming back, just saying."

Not that I care...but okay.

"Okay, um...I guess I'll see you there." I say.

"You should probably change if you don't want to be classified as 'nerd at the party'."

I look perfectly fine in my blue skinny jeans and long sleeve red top. I nervously look at myself in the mirror inside my closet. She's right. New me, new look, new attitude. Let's do this.

"Yeah...I did plan on. Thanks for reminding me." I sarcastically say.

She leaves the room and I head towards my closet to pick out my clothes. Come on, you still have style. I skim the clothes I brought and sigh in relief as I pull out the dress. It used to be my favourite dress before my parents split up. Its a flair red and black velvet dress with sleeves reaching halfway down my arms and comes just before halfway of my thigh. It used to be my favourite because it conceals the shape of my body but is still stylish at the same time.

I look for my lace stockings with lace flower prints on it. I hate exposing my legs. Shoes? I can't wear heels, but I'm only 5'12. I remember having brought a black wedge so I slip them on and look at myself in the mirror. Its been a while since I dressed up. One of my favourite things to do was express art on my face. So I grab my make up kit and cover up with a little foundation, enhance my brows, make a long wing on my eyes and extend these bottom and top lashes. And for the finishing touch, my favourite nudish brown lip liner and Chanel 0'5.

I pat my self on the back admiring my work that took me almost 2 hours. I find my purse and phone and head out the door. I text Zo to let her know that I'll meet her outside of the dorms.

I reach outside. Wow, the campus looks so beautiful at night. The lavender on the trees and all the lights just make it look breathtaking. I close my eyes and take in a deep breath, something I used to do to calm myself down, but now it just relaxes me.

From the time I was a little girl, my family meant everything to me. They were my support and it always seemed like the weather was happy when we were all together. After everyone split up, it's like the weather went sad, but today...I'm feeling it like when I was a child. All of a sudden I'm starting to feel like I'm living again.

"Wow, you look beautiful." A voice says from behind me, I already know who it is.
