Chapter 14

I picked up my luggage and sat down on the sofa next to the front door to wait for Lucy's best friend Jasmine to pick me up. We were heading to Berkeley University for the weekend to get a tour of the school, get out schedules and get a peak at our dorm rooms. I heard her horn honking. I jumped up. I was excited. I ran to the kitcen, hugged my family, said goodbye and ran outside. Jasmine had an old Volkswagon Bus. It was awesome. It was funny how different Jasmine and Lucy were. You would never think in a million years that they would have even the slightest bit in common. I hopped in the back. Lucy was driving and Jasmine was sitting in the back smoking a joint. I hadn't spent much time with Jasmine yet, but she seemed pretty cool. Jasmine leaned forward over the front seat and turned on the radio. She had it on the classical rock station. I hated classic rock, so I tried my hardest to tune it out before I went insane. Jasmine picked up her a bag she had sitting next to her. She put the joint in her mouth and pulled a slip of paper out of her bag. "I'm in the old shitty dorms." She mumbled, then took the joint out of her mouth.
"You're in the fitty domes?" Lucy asked giggling.
"Shut up." She said.
I laughed.
"Dorm room 1A." She added.
"Wait a second. I think I am in 1A." I said pulling my slip out of my purse.
"Building 1?" She asked.
I looked at my slip. "Yeah!" I said excited.
"Holy shit!" Lucy said. "That is not fare!"
"Yay!" Jasmie said screaming with a huge smile on her face. She leaned down into me and huggged me. I fell back into the side of the bus and banged my head. We all laughed. It hurt and made my eyes water. "Sorry!" She said. "I guess I got a little too excited!"
"It's okay." I said, still laughing and holding my head where it hurt.
"So, did you talk to Brandon about what you read in Dinas Journal?" Lucy asked.
"No." I answered with a sigh.
"I think you should. What if he's fucking with you just like he was with Kim? Or still IS with Kim?" She said.
"I know. I know." I said. "I only spent one night with him since I read that. We didn't have sex either. I pretended I fell asleep early when I was at his place."
Jasmine laughed. "The old pretending your asleep trick." She said.
We all laughed. "I've done it. Sometimes I am just too tired." Lucy said. "Christopher always wants it. I'm not in the mood to have sex 24/7."
I laughed. "Yeah."
"Sorry. You'll know what we're talking about soon enough." Lucy said.
"Oh hush." I said giggling.
I fell asleep soon after it started to get dark. It was a Friday night. I woke up to Jasmine shaking me. "We're here." She said.
We got out of the bus, grabbed our luggage and Lucy checked us into the hotel. "So, should we try to get into a frat party?" Lucy asked.
Jasmine and I layed back onto the double bed and sighed. We laughed.
"I'm too tired." Jasmine said.
"Me too." I said.
"Oh come on!" Lucy wined.
We rolled our eyes and sat back up. "Fine. Get me an outfit. I don't dress to impress and all my shit smells like patchouli oil." Jasmine answered.
"I'm doing your hair too." Lucy told her.
She sighed. "Whatever." She said as she grabbed a small chunk of her hair and pulled it in front of her face to look at it. It was pretty messy. She had a very pretty face though. "Let me do your make up. You're so pretty, but you always have your face hidden." I said.
She smiled. "Thanks." She got a shy look on her face.
Lucy let out a squeel. "Okay, let's get ready!" She said as she picked up one of her bags and ran to the bathroom. I just laughed.
"Oh, alright." I sighed.
It took about an hour for us all to finally be ready. Jasmine looked like a totally different person. Her hair was brushed down and straightened and she was wearing a jean mini-skirt. She looked really cute! I watched her walk over to the mirror and sigh.
"I don't think I've ever shown off so much leg." She said turning to her side.
"You look cute." I said.
"Yes you do, now let's go." Lucy said grabbing her arm. We headed out the door and towards the school. It was only a block from the hotel. There was a Sonic on the way and there were a group of guys hanging out at one of the tables outside. One of them whistled at us and a couple of them laughed. "Come on." Lucy giggled. She started walking towards them. Jasmine and I followed. "I'm Dave and you are hot." One of them said to me. I just smiled.
"We're new." Lucy said. "We're looking for a party."
"We'll be heading out to one as soon as fuckface finishes his burger." One of them said. They all looked at the only guy that was sitting at the table. "I'm hungry okay? You know what happens if I drink without eating." He said.
They all laughed. One of them playfully pushed him. He just shook his head and kept eating. "This is Eddie. The baby of the group." Dave said pointing at him.
"Where is the party?" Lucy asked.
"In my pants, wanna come?" The short nerdy looking one said.
Everyone laughed.
"Not likely." She said.
They all laughed. "Shut up." He said stepping back.
"It's right down the street." Dave said pointing to the right.
"Let's go!" Dave said.
They all went running towards a big black truck. "Hop in." Dave yelled to us. The three of us looked at eachother, shrugged our shoulders and went running to the truck laughing. We hopped in and they spead away.
