Chapter 2

Kenya’s POV

I was standing in my room. Nick came in and he looked really good. He was muscular and very defined. He gave me a slight nod and went to the bathroom. I heard the water turn on so I knew he was taking a shower. I sat down on my bedand leafed through one of my dance magazines and looked at some of the outfits. I heard the shower turn off and I looked up. The door opened and revealed a very well worked body. I couldn’t help but stare. He has a total six pack and nice pecks. I caught myself and thought about my bet with Kris. I can’t fall for this guy. Besides he’s a total ass. I averted my eyes before he could notice and looked back at my magazine as Nick went through his stuff for a shirt. I was still in shock. You wouldn’t guess that someone like him would be so muscular, I mean damn! I giggled but covered it up as a cough. He looked at me with a raised eye brow I shrugged. He went back to his stuff. When he finished he grabbed what looked like an ipod but I wasn’t sure. This might sound stupid but I’ve never seen one up close… Really! Well I didn’t linger on this thought when he caught me looking at the ipod. He smirked.

“What you never seen one?” I bit my lip and shook my head. He smirked bigger. He handed it to me and I looked at it like someone would a dinosaur egg. I finally gave it back reluctantly and dove to my money bag. I had 5000 for emergencies and food. Well it’s not like I’d actually use it all but my parents are loaded. Which is partially how I got here. Anyway I got out my laptop and went online. I saw that Wal-Mart had them so I quickly ordered a silver one. He was watching me and he laughed. I heard a small gasp at the door. Kris and Austin were standing there.

“Did he-” Kris said that but Austin cut him off

“Just-“ I raised my eyes brows at them.

“Laugh?” They both said in unison. I laughed and nodded.

“Yeah he did. It’s something people do. We laugh.” I said laughing pretty hard now. Nick had gone back to listening to his music.

“So Ken you want to go to Applebee’s?” I raised one eye brow.

“Your out of cash, am I right?” the nodded guilty and I sighed.

“Yeah but not Applebee’s that’s way to expensive I only have about 4800” They smiled and pulled me, and my money out of the room. I tried as best I could to wave at Nick before we left but I couldn’t. I stopped the boys.

“Hang on.” I said walking back into the room. I smiled in a friendly way at Nick and motioned for him to turn down the music. He did and looked at me.

“Do you want to come eat with us? I’m buying.” I said warmly trying to make friends with the boy I was, first off betting against, and second off rooming with ‘till graduation. He jerked his head up at me in shock.

“Uh.. Sure?” he said not exactly sure what he should say. I smiled at him.

“Great. Be ready to go in five minutes!” he nodded roughly and I walked out.

“What was that about?” Kris asked me as I pretended to dust of my hands.

“Oh nothing just inviting my new roomie to dinner with us.” Austin tilted his head back in annoyance.

“Why me? Why did I have to go and do that stupid thing?” He asked as if he were talking to God.

“I don’t know but whether you like it or not I am going to try and be friends with this person. He doesn’t seem as bad as I thought before.” I said. Right after I had said that Nick walked out. He was wearing a black tee shirt, jeans, vans, a cross necklace, and a wrist band.

“Thanks.” He said sarcastically. I smiled guiltily at him. He shrugged and we went down the hall to the doors. We opened the huge doors and walked over to my car. I took out my keys and got in. Obviously Kris pulled Austin back so he would sit in the back with Kris and that would leave the front seat for Nick. I rolled my eyes at his silly attempt to push me onto another guy. Nick didn’t seem phased by Kris and Austin’s stupid antics. He got in and I drove to the nearest restaurant, which happened to be very close by. (I don’t want to be sued for using a restaurant name so just let your minds wander) We ate quickly and practically silently and we headed home.

When we got back Austin and Kris thanks me and I lectured them on how they should get jobs of their own since I won’t always be there for them. The blew me off and went into their own dorms. Nick and I walked back to our dorm and I unlocked it. We walked in and sat our stuff down. I heard Nick mumble a faint ‘thanks’ before he went to the bathroom to change. I quickly changed into a tank top and short shorts. I crawled onto my bed and laid on top the covers until I heard Nick come out. He looked at me then quickly averted his eyes as if I were naked. I took the hint and got under one of the sheets.

“Goodnight Nick.”

“Night.” He mumbled and after a few minutes I could hear his breathing regulate so I knew he had fell asleep.

My alarm clock woke me up at exactly 5:30 in the morning. I stood up and stretched letting all my muscles loose. I laid down on the floor and started stretching. I’ve been doing stuff like this since I was 11 to be more flexible in dance. I think my moving around woke Nick up because he sat up and eyed me doing my yoga. He shook his head and laid back down. I stood up and quickly finished my stretches. When I finished doing that I grabbed my outfit for the day, my shampoo, conditioner, face wash, make-up and some hair accessories such as a blow drier, straitening iron, curling iron, and some scrunchies. I walked into the bathroom, set my stuff down on the counter, and turned on the shower. I let it warm up while I washed my face. I had no zit in sight for a reason. I used it everyday to make sure a clean and clear face. Wow that sounded like one of those commercials. Anyway I finally got in the shower and washed my hair.

When I got out of the shower I blow dried my hair. Once it was just about as dry as it could be I straightened it and curled pieces here and there so it looked good. I put some light make-up on, the usual a cherry lipstick, some clear gloss over it, some eye liner and mascara, and a small amount of blush to make my cheek bones pop. I also had a very small amount of eye shadow on but I used a light blue and a darker blue near the bottom.

I finished up in the bathroom and walked out to find Nick already done getting ready. I smiled and nodded curtly at him and I put my stuff back down. I grabbed a magazine and my cd player and started leafing through it again. Nick stopped what he was doing and looked at me. He smirked once more and I raised an eye brow. I shook my head and looked back down at my magazine.

At 6:50 I went down the hall to the cafeteria along with Nick. We nodded at each other and went on our ways. I started getting my foods when I heard a small laugh. But it wasn’t the laugh that caught my attention. It was the voice of the laugh that did. That was the laugh of Lily Wood, my best friend. I smiled and turned around. She was staring at me as I turned.

“I knew it. I knew you would end up coming here. Dance?” She asked quickly. I nodded.

“And art and singing.” I said listing off my arts. She raised her eye brow at me and I laughed.

“You always were the perfectionist.” She said looking at me with a small laugh she motioned for me to follow her. She led me over to a group of girls and guys I had never met.

“Guys, girls, you’ve heard much about my best friend, now you finally get to meet her. Kenya Griffin these are my friends, Jade, Lauren, Allie, Megan, Krista, Ben, Cole, Mick, Tyler, and Andy. Guys, girls, this is the infamous Kenya.” She said giggling through it all. I scoffed.

“Infamous?” I said raising and eyebrow at her. She nodded with a serious look on her face. She cracked first though she burst out laughing and I joined suit. I sat down in between the girl named Megan, and Lily. We ate and talked I told them about the bet and Lily said she’d help me with it and I thanked her. We finished eating and I grabbed my stuff from the dorm and walked off to art.
