I started off towards the dorms in a fast pace. I did not want to deal with Logan and Roy at dinner. My emotions were going in all these different directions I wouldn’t be able to handle myself. In all my life I had never had to deal with these types of feelings. I hated and loved them.
I was a mess though. My face was most likely blotching from the crying that I had done and I was gasping trying to control my breaths. As I entered the dorms some guy I had seen around hanging with Cassie and Janet passed by me.
“Hey.” He said warily. He stopped midway to the door. I think his name was Justin. He had nice light brown hair that could be mistaken for dirty blonde. He had pretty eyelashes and really white teeth. But he looked like too much of a skater boy for me. And I already had enough boys to deal with.
He smiled and stretched his arm. While he did that his neck went up and I could see a dragon head sticking out of his shirt. It was a nice tattoo but looked funny without seeing the whole body. “So are you like okay?” He asked.
“Yeah,” I sniffed. I wanted to rub the tears out of my eyes but it would only smear my makeup. I would for sure look like a train wreck then. “I’m just having some boy issues.” I said rolling my eyes and trying my best to force a smile. I didn’t like talking about my life problems. It only made me break down more. I thought it was better to try and avoid talking about them.
Justin smiled and nodded. “I guess thats every girls problem.” He laughed and waved bye walking out the glass dorm doors. I turned and went into my hall. Like usual no one was in there. It was funny because I knew Cassie and some of her friends were in some dorms but I had only seen Blair walking down the hall during the day. The must always sneak out and party. Cassie did have that reputation.
I had managed to avoid her since last talking to her with Logan and Roy. But that didn’t mean people didn’t talk about her. Isaac, a boy in my Chem. class, always went on and on about how beautiful she was. His lab partner who I didn’t know always talked trash about how she was a slut and was always messing with Justin’s mind. Most of the gossip in the school focuses on their so called ‘relationship’.
Just as I was about to unlock my dorm and go a take a nice hot shower I was greeted with a high shrill. Speak of the devil. I smiled nicely at Cassie who was jumping up and down with her eyes closed standing next to me. I looked around and was surprised she was ‘jumping’ at me. She must have not noticed my tears.
She calmed herself and straightened out her already perfect hair. Then her eyes focused on my face and her expression changed. “Okay I just heard some juicy gossip about you which doesn’t explain why you’re crying.” She crossed her arms. “Getting a kiss from Roy shouldn’t be something to cry about.
Great! If Cassie knew about the kiss that meant everyone did. And that meant Logan had heard. I had to keep from crying again. Why was I so concerned about not wanting to hurt Logan when I had liked the kiss? It didn’t make since to like two boys at once so much.
“Yeah well I have other problems.” I mumbled sticking my key in and pushing the door. If I wanted to talk about this it wouldn’t be with Cassie. She would spill whatever I told her to anyone. I heard someone else’s feet in the hall and turned to see Blair dead set on us.
“Bye Cassie!” She said shoving Cassie out of the way and pushing me inside my room. Then she slammed it shut in Cassie’s face who was trying to yell something to us. Blair turned around and let out a huff. “I can’t stand her. Always getting in people’s business! So tell me,” She grabbed my arm and moved me over to sit with her on my bed, “What’s going on with you, Roy and Logan?”
