though I scratched. Luckily, they
didn’t count it, and we moved on. Colin gave me the ‘good try’ fist bump, which
I returned begrudgingly.
    Throughout the game we kept the
conversation flowing.
    “What are you guys majoring in?”
Liz asked in between turns.
    "You think you can guess?”
Drew asked her, clearly enjoying a challenge as much as Liz did.
    “Hmm… well, you’ve got that kind
of ‘I don’t care’ slacker thing going on, so...Philosophy?”
    Drew returned an answering smile
and added, “I think, therefore I am...not.”
    “Shi-I mean Shoot. I thought I had
it.”
    Drew gave Liz a confused look,
until Colin explained the bet.
      “Huh, I will have to remember that,” his
wide grin showing that he was definitely planning on using it against her.
    “Hm. I get the feeling that you’re
just a little bit evil. Are you by chance pre-law?” Liz asked.
    “Nope.”
    “Am I warm?”
    “Nope.”
    After Liz and I fired off about
ten different majors, we finally asked for a hint.
    “Um...I know that a positively
charged kitten is a cation.”
    “Is that some kind of science
thing?” Liz asked, while lining up her shot.
    “It is some kind of science thing,”
Drew teased.
    “So you’re a science geek, huh?”
The way she said it, Drew could tell she was impressed. She always had a thing
for really smart guys.
    “Yep,” Drew answered, obviously
proud of his title. He probably didn’t get called that a lot. He totally gave
off the vibe that he didn’t put much effort into anything but looking good.
    “Biology?” I asked.
    “No, cations.” Drew answered,
completely befuddled by my apparent ineptness.
    “Physics?” It was Liz’s turn to
try to guess.
    “Drew just shook his head, making
Colin laugh.
    ”Two words.” Colin put up two
fingers. “ Breaking Bad. ”
    “Chemistry!” We said in unison.
    Drew continued to shake his head
in disappointment. “I had more Chemistry jokes.”
    “Save ‘em for another day, bro.”
Colin teased.
    “See if you can guess what my
major is.” Liz said, while checking out her shot.
    “Graphic Design.” Colin didn’t
even hesitate to answer.
    “You suck.” Liz lined up the eight
ball, while the guys high fived. Of course, she landed it and we won. We both
looked at each other with an eye roll, before pretending to get excited, as if
they weren’t playing us.
    “How did you know my major?” Liz
asked.
    “I know everything.” Colin teased,
then added, “Plus, you talked about your graphic design class the first time I
met you.
    “Oh. That’s right. Doesn’t matter
though, because we won the pool game.” Liz high fived me.
    “Damn. I can’t believe we lost.
And since I am a pool legend, it must be that you sucked worse than poor Lucy.”
Drew shoved Colin.
    I started to tell him where he
could go, but Liz talked over me. “That was not luck. Lucy had a few good shots
in there. And if anyone’s a legend, it’s me. “
    “So are you ladies up for round
two?”
    At the same time I said “No,” Liz answered
with a definite “heck yeah.”
    “Scared, Lucy?” Colin whispered
into my ear.
    “I don’t get scared. I just didn’t
want you to have to endure a second loss. But hey, if you don’t mind
humiliation, I have no problem serving it to you.”
    “That sounds like a challenge. Did
that sound like a challenge, Drew?”
    “Care to make it interesting?”
Drew added.
    “What do you have in mind?” I’m
sure they thought we were falling right into their trap.
    Colin spoke up first. “If you
girls win, we will take you ladies to dinner.”
    “I don’t know. That sounds kind of
like a treat for you.” I teased him.
    “But we’re not talking any dinner.
We’re talking tacos...with all the nacho chips and salsa you can eat.” Colin
wagged his eyebrows, as if there was no way we wouldn’t be impressed.
    “Really? Free chips and salsa?
Well that makes it worth it right there.” I playfully shoved him.
    “Fine. What about if
