Me and Mark texted all through that night and through all of my classes. He wasn't someone I would normally associate myself with. He was one of those rich kids I was talking about before and he had athletic ability. His future in the school was secure. His daddy could pay the professors if he was failing so that he could continue to play sports.

And I didn't care. For once in my life people started talking to me. Me and Mark were pretty much a thing and I went to my first college party. There was a lot of alcohol and a lot of drugs. I didn't do any of that because I had one of my midterms the next day but everyone remembered me as the girl Mark was dating.

I felt powerful, I felt loved.

After that party, Mark started growing distant and I was beginning to get worried. Were my fifteen minutes of fame up already?

He texted me after my midterm for Psych:
Mark- Hey babe, wanna meet up for lunch?
Maci- Of course, give me five minutes?
Mark- If I have to :P

When I got to the dining hall to meet up with him there were girls surrounding him. When he saw me he stepped away and embraced me.

"How was it?" he asked me.
"Well... I don't think I failed." I said laughing.
"Let's celebrate with a party tonight." he said in front of all of his friends. "But don't be so prude tonight. Live a little." he whispered to me.

I was scared at the tone of his voice, it was demanding. Not teasing like usual. But I didn't care. Mark was throwing a college party...for me.

Kathryn was clinging onto some guy that was in my Psych class when she barged through the door. When I have no lights on and am laying in bed, you'd think she'd be more considerate. But that's just her. She's fine other than that.

"Umm Mace?" she started.
"I know...I'm leaving. Even though it's 2 a.m." I said angrily. I didn't bother changing and walked out of the room and slammed the door. I took a History textbook. Might as well study for my midterm.

When I got into the library there was a a geeky-looking kid in there and the the librarian. I sat down in a chair and cracked open the text book when the kid walked up to me. Like I wanted a conversation.

"Hey, I'm Mark." he said and sat down at the same table as me.
"I'm studying." I told him.

Maybe that's why I didn't have fun, I didn't want to talk to anybody.

"Hello Studying. Pretty name." he joked. He didn't get the hint. I looked up at him and realized he had gorgeous green eyes. He actually wasn't that geeky-looking. I think he was on the basketball team.

"I'm sorry...it's early. My name is Maci." I told him.
"That's a nicer name." he smiled. "What brings you to the library so early."
I wished my hair didn't look so disgusting and it was falling in my face. He pushed it back.
"My roommate.." I didn't need to explain further. He laughed.
"Mine too. Don't worry." Mark said.

"So...." he said as I looked back into my book.
"I usually don't have to try this hard to get dates. Do you know who I am?" he asked teasing.
"You wanted a date with me?" I asked laughing.
"Um...yeah. I sorta did." he sounded nervous.

I got up when my phone vibrated:
Kathryn - He was a dunce. You can come back.

"I hope you'll take a rain check." I closed my book and got up.
"Wait, Maci!" Mark shouted. The librarian shushed him.
Seriously....nobody was even in there with us.

"You took my phone..." he said.
I had grabbed the wrong phone. "I'm so sorry!" I said and we switched phones.
My phone vibrated again. It was an unknown number. Mark had already walked away.

"I take rainchecks."
...he had called himself from my phone to get my number. Sneaky.

Maybe this was the start of my social life.

Part 1: B

Hi, my name is Maci and I'm in a little bit of a pickle. I just got into the college of my dreams, the name shall not be enclosed to you because I don't want you stalking me. Everybody says that college is the greatest experience of your life.

When you're family is counting on you to be the top student in your class because they have no money and have sacrificed everything for you to get there it's different. You're not a spoiled rich kid whose daddy bought seven wings for the college and got in before they even applied. This is serious and you don't have time to party because you don't want to let anyone down.

Do you know how much it sucks when your roommate leaves for parties every night and comes back with a new man forcing you to study in the library? Not saying I want to do as Kathryn does, but I would like to have some fun.

Meet people.

And that's where my story starts. With me meeting someone.

Okay so if you've read my past stories I like to base them off of songs. I put my iPod on shuffle and came up with Still Breathing by Mayday Parade.

Oh hey guys. I gave up on the last story nobody even read it. So this story is about a dream I had last night with some extra details to make it flow (:

She's So Lovely
"I love the way she plays it cool"

I was staring ahead as Robbie and Rebecca walked away. I turned to the side to see if Colleen was still there. She wasn't. She was walking ahead and turned around smiling,"Are you coming or not?" she joked and came back and took my hand and pulled. "I know school is bad, but I shouldn't have to drag you in."

"Oh, it's not that." I replied,"I was just taking it all in. This is my first day you kn-"

"I'm going to have to work with you Jens. It was a joke. You were supposed to laugh." she smiled and ripped my schedule out of my hand. And she frowned.

"What?" I asked as we got in the building. I slowly lifted up her chin with my hand and looked into her eyes. Was something wrong?

She started laughing and smiled before I dropped my hand, blushing. "I was sad that we only have last period together you mongoose." A bell. "Well, we gotta be getting to our homerooms. See you later!"

"Wait!" I tried to call after her. I ended up muttering to myself. "How am I a mongoose?"

I looked at my schedule. She had dropped me off right in front of my homeroom. I knew I liked her. She was very nice.

School. Sucks. 
Okay, so every body was fawning over me and Robbie. We had all of our classes together. They were all touching my hair and asking me to pronounce words. I wanted to slap the boys, since I don't hit girls or even think about it. Well. That's not entirely true, I do think about it....

ACH MEIN GOTT!!! I forgot. Plane girl goes to my school. She winked at me and I didn't know what to do. She was like,"Oh we know each other already. So all you girls back off." 

Robbie choked because he was laughing so hard. I got up and moved my desk. I hope the teacher didn't mind. She was weird though...

Last period was great. Plane girl was there and of course so was Colleen. When I walked in Colleen waved at me and told me to come sit by her. Naturally, I did. She asked how my day was and she wasn't even trying but she was pulling me to her. I couldn't take my eyes off of her, she kept glancing at me and laughing.

At the end, Plane Girl, whose name apparently is "Slu/t" because thats what all the girls were calling her (I've never heard of a girl named that but I guess that is America for you...), was trying to hug me and I stood stiff as a board. I didn't want to hug her. She smelled of too much perfume. Colleen hung back and wasn't even jealous, I was quite upset. When we were walking home she bumped into me. 

"So I guess you and Ashley are quite close." she said teasing me.
"Who is that?" I asked.
She laughed,"The girl who hugged you? She's been telling every body at school to stay away from you. Just talking to you now may get me in trouble." she said and laughed.
"Oh. I thought her name was Slu/t. That's what all the girls called her." I then shied away,"I don't want you to get in trouble. It's quite alright if you want to walk ahead, I understand."

Colleen laughed hysterically. "Umm...Slu/t is a derogatory term Jens. That's a bad thing. It isn't her name." She then linked arms with me. "We're best friends, I'm kidding you can't take me so seriously."

"Best friends?" I asked.
"Forever, of course!" she said. She hugged me and ran up the driveway to her house. "Talk to you tomorrow?"

"Naturally." I replied. I got into the house and Robbie grabbed me in a chokehold.
"Aww, looks like Jens got himself a girl!" he said smiling.
"Shut up Robbie. Grow up." I reprimanded him and walked upstairs into my room.

Wait..was she really my girl?

(Comment/Fave please. I feel as though nobody is reading.)
