"About time!" Elizabeth shouted when I walked into starbucks.
"Shut up!" I said, and walked to the back to put my apron on. I came back out and was relieved we were slow.
"I'm on time." I said.
"Barely. Next time, it's the axe for you!" She said, and I laughed.
"I think I got hit on after class." I told her.
"You think? Either you did or you didn't!" she said, giggling.
"A guy gave me his number so he could help me on my essay." I told her.
"Hmmm...Sounds like he hit on you." She said.
"What if he is just being nice?" I asked her.
"What if you are just so naive it makes me sick." She said, shaking her head. I walked to the sink to do the few dishes in there.
"I am not!" I said.
"You have kissed ONE guy in your whole life." She said.
"Two." I told her.
"Two?" She asked.
"Last night." I said, grinning.
"What? Who?" She asked.
"Jarrod...one of Andy's friends." I told her.
"Oh." She said.
"I know...is it horrible that it is one of his friends?" I asked her.
"No. I think him breaking up with you is horrible." She said. "But anyway, what happened?" She asked. I got excited telling her the story.
"Wow. He sounds pretty cute." She said.
"He is. I never really payed that much attention to him, but he really is. He is so funny too." I told her.
"Well, have fun. But don't get all tied down again...be free for a little while." She said, flapping her arms and dancing around.
Just then a customer came in, and she stopped. We both started laughing. Elizabethe went to the register while I waited to make the drink. She flirting in overdrive with the guy, and I kept giggling to myself. I realized we only really saw each other at work, even though we lived together. I decided that needed to be fixed..she was way to much fun not to be around more!
I made the guy his coffee and he left.
"Whoa!" I said, and jumped.
"What?" Elizabeth asked, looking at me funny.
"My butt vibrated!" I said, and she laughed. I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and I had a text from Jarrod.
"Party. Tomorrow. 8:00. You are coming with me!" it said. I laughed, and wrote him back.
"Only if I can bring liz." I said.
"Is she hot?" was his response, and I started laughing.
"What?" Elizabeth asked.
"Nothing." I said, and wrote Jarrod back.
"SMOKIN!"
"Then bring her too. CU2mrw!" he said. I laughed and put my phone back in my pocket.
"What was that?" She asked.
"Jarrod. You and I are going to a party tomorrow night." I told her.
"On a fucking Tuesday?" She asked.
"I guess." I shrugged.
"Eh, sounds good to me." She said.

The rest of the night was so slow, and we were both so thrilled to go home! When we got there, Elizabeth left shortly after to help her mom pack up to move. I heated up some popcorn and sat on the couch, then pulled out my phone. I was nervous to call Mikael.
"It's just to study dork." I told myself, and dialed his number.
"Hello?" He asnswerd, and my heart skipped a beat.
"Uh, Mikeal?" I asked.
"Yeah? Marcy?" He asked.
"Macey." I said.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" He said, and I giggled.
"It's okay. It happens to me all the time!" I told him.
"I'm an idiot." He said.
"No. So, when can you help me study?" I asked him.
"Tonight?" He asked.
"Uh, sure. You can come to my place." I told him.
"Oh. Really?" He asked.
"Yeah..." I said.
"I was going to say a public place so you didn't think I wanted to fuck you." He said.
"What?" I asked.
"Oh my god! Excuse the vulgarity." He said.
"Um, it's okay. And my place is fine." I said, laughing. I gave him directions, then ran to my room to change and get fixed up before he got there.
