Dejectedly, you leave the bathroom door, hearing the soft crying behind it. You wanted nothing more than to go in there and comfort , to hold her and try to explain everything, to just talk to her. But she wouldn't want that. When she gets angry at you, she always got pissed if you stayed around. She would always come seek you out later. But she's never been this mad. She's never said those kinds of things about you before. You sigh and leave the dormroom, grabbing a spare pair of boxers from the dresser beforehand just in case. You don't know how long you'll be staying away.
You head across the hallway to Scott and Dirk's room. Those two have always been close friends; they'd take you in. It's not very far from your room, but it should be enough for to get her space. You sigh and knock on the door. A lanky guy answers the door several seconds later. His long dreadlocks are unkempt, his eyes are bloodshot and smoke billows around him like a cloud. The heavy smell of weed fills your nostrils. You wonder breifly if you can stand living there.
"-man!" Scott laughs heartily. "I haven't seen you in weeks!"
"Hey Scott." You say weakily, not trusting your own voice.
"We've got some Mario Kart going on. Real tight racing, you know what I mean? Except Dirk keeps getting that blue shell bullshit."
"Bite me!" Came a reply from within the smokey room.
"Come on in, man! We could use a third player to even out the...is something wrong, man?"
"Kinda." You say. "And by kinda, I mean extremely. Can I come in?"
"Sure, sure." Scott ushers you in quickly. Dirk is sitting on a blue beanbag chair, gripping a game controller. He turns to look at you with a grin, but the grin dies instantly.
"Dude. You look like crap." Dirk cocks his head. "What's going on?"
"It's ." You grumble.
"Uh-oh." Scott says. "Arrow to the heart?"
"Yeah." You reply. Scott and Dirk figured out your crush on a while back, but always kept it to themselves.
"What happened?" Dirk asks, putting down the controller.
You pause. Should you really be telling them this? Granted their close friends and you know they can keep a secret, but might not want he pregnancy to be told to anyone. And you want to respect her wishes. |
