immediately regretted my statement.
    Boy, I shouldn’t have said that. Now she would start her worried best friend bit and I would see no peace tonight.
    “Really, Jess. I’m fine.” I tried to assure her. Hoping with everything in me she would let this go. “Where did that guy go?” I attempted to change the subject. It always seemed to help. Bring a guy into the scenario and Jessi’s mind would wonder. For a second she didn’t seem like she would take the bait but sure enough, “Oh, Kelsey! Isn’t he gorgeous? I told you he was totally gorgeous!” She let out a high pitched squee.
    “Yes, Jess he’s a cutie. But where did he go ?”
    “Oh, right! He left,” she said as she backed away from where I was sitting so I could stand. “Said he had to go check on his friend. He went in that door over there that says Staff Only but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t work here.” She shrugged and we began to make our way toward the hall that led to the entrance doors.
    “Kane?” I questioned.
    “What?”
    “His friend. Was his name Kane?” I asked again, even though I was quite positive I already knew the answer.
    “I don’t know. I didn’t ask. He just told me he would call me later and went off through the bar”—she paused—“Why would you ask?”
    Oh no, I’ve done gone and done it now.
    “No reason, really. I was just talking with this guy before the fight broke out. He said he was a friend of the guy you were swapping saliva with. He seemed kind of upset before he left.” There, maybe that will be enough to pacify her so she won’t ask any more questions.
    “And you just met him, right? Short chat you say? Not buying it. SPILL! You wouldn’t have even brought him up if there wasn’t some interest there.” She grinned knowing she had caught me.
    Damn her and how well she knows me.
    So what if I hadn’t stopped thinking about this guy’s eyes all day and he just so happened to show up at the bar and we ended up hitting it off pretty well. He obviously wasn’t really interested since he had just taken off like that.
    “Really, Jess, it was no biggie. I got knocked down. He picked me up. Got pretty heated at the guy who knocked me down. Then left. End of story.”
    When I replay it all back, it really didn’t sound like a big deal at all. Why am I obsessing over this guy so much? He probably changed his mind after seeing what I klutz I am and went running over begging for that good time with Katie.
    “I’m just sayin’, Kels. You never really talk to guys. Let alone have a conversation with one then go on to talk about them later. You’re finally coming around to the world of make outs, hookups, and all around awesomeness that is MEN.” She said as she threw her arm around my shoulder and we walked out into the night air, back toward school.
    I rolled my eyes at her, but did feel a slight smile pulling at the side of my mouth. No, I had never really been one to hookup, or even date for that matter, but if I was ever willing to think about changing my mind on the subject, Kane would be a perfect candidate to try it out on.
    “Come on, slut puppy. Let’s get back to the dorms so I can get out of these clothes and you can go on to tell me all about how your new friend tastes. Cause Lord knows I’m going to hear all about it ‘til I fall asleep.”
    And I did.
     

 

    I was actually awake before my alarm went off the next morning. For some reason I had slept very sound the night before. Must have been all the commotion from the bar. Wore me out I guess. At least I was up before Jessi, which meant I got first shower and could stand in the steamy water and let it wash away all the soreness from the fall I had taken the night before.
    Today was the last day of freedom before classes started tomorrow morning. I needed to make a run to the bookstore. Then we needed to get a few items for the mini fridge. Our plans for the day really didn’t consist of much more than pizza, girly movies and
