When we get back to the dorm, I was tired and didn't feel so good. I take off my shorts and went to bed and calling it a night.

The following morning I was grateful to wake up with no headache. I had homework today, so that was all I was doing. I smell food and I walk out of my bedroom and Desi was in the kitchen.

"Hey" I said going to sit down at our table.

"Hey" she laughs looking at me. "I made us a big bowl... of ramen noodles" she says giving me a bowl and I laugh.

"Thank you" I said. "You ever get ahold of Aria?"

"Yea, she went home with that Finn guy. Kinda fucked up she left us there but she said she thought we would get a ride from you know who" she says and I knew she was referring to my brother.

"I'm sorry if I was mean last night" I said and she laughs.

"To who? Me? No but Trevor and Blake... damn" she says and I shake my head.

"I was mean to Blake?"

"I mean... a little"

"Damn. And I can kiss Nico goodbye... because that's not happening" I said and she laughs. "Whatever... I'm cool with not being around my brothers people" I said picking my fork up and starting to eat.

"Homework day?"

"Oh yea" I said with my mouth full and Desi laughs. Desi and I go to our own rooms and stay in doing homework and getting prepared for the week. Monday rolls around and I was actually excited about going to our Dating class today. Aria was waiting for us when we arrive and we took our seats in the lecture hall.

"Alright class" Professor Warren says. "Last week I taught you Lesson One and that was getting over your crush. You had an assignment and I want to know how it felt after writing out your feelings?" he ask. No one says anything. "Don't raise your hand all at once" he adds and we laugh. "Well... good thing I have my guinea pigs. Miss. Grinder and Miss Giggles... please share" he says looking at us.

"Well damn" Desi whispers. She lets out a sigh and opens her notebook. "I felt good" she said and I couldn't help to laugh and the class joins in.

"Who'd you write about?" Professor Warren ask.

"My ex back home" she answers.

"And?"

"And I can say that I still love him but keeping my options open" she says.

"That's what I like to hear and you Miss. Giggles, who'd you write about?"

"Umm... this guy from home" I answered.

"And?"

"And... I'm not really bothered by him anyone" I answer and Professor Warren smiles.

"You were kinda hesitant, but I believe you. Alright guys on the top of your notebook write step two and next to that put... love yourself" he says and we all write it out. "You won't be able to find someone that you will connect to emotionally if you don't love yourself mentally and physically. I want you all to write about yourself to me. I want to know everything, family, school, friends, appearances, tell me an embarrassing story along with your favorite color" he continues. When class was finished we were heading to lunch and I was starving!

The week flew by and before I knew, it was already the weekend again. I haven't heard from Trevor or my brother and I haven't seen Nico. I couldn't tell if this was a good or bad thing. Aria was already talking about going out this weekend and I wasn't feeling it.

I was leaving campus when I finally saw Nico. He was wearing work out gear and was heading towards the campus gym. it won't hurt to say hi? I slowly walk up behind him, tapping his shoulder and he turns around.

"Hi" I said.

"Hey" he says.

"How are you?" I ask.

"Good, and yourself?"

"Umm... I'm a little embarrassed"

"Why?"

"For what I said last weekend and the way I acted. I don't hardly drink and I was letting loose" I said and he laughs.

"You're all good" he says smiling at me.

"Good... okay. Sweet... just wanted to explain myself" I say and he smiles at me. "I guess I'll see you around?" I said turning around. Why am I so awkward talking to him.

"Hey Camari" Nico says and I turn around and he walks up to me. "I guess I'll take your number now?" he says handing me his phone. I smile and type my number in. I set my name and threw emoji's behind it.

"Appreciate it, I'll see you around" he says and I smile and turn around to walk away. I honestly did want to apologize to Trevor but I wasn't going to go out of my way to do it. When I see him, I see him. When I get to my dorm it wasn't a surprised that Aria was over. She was sitting on the counter talking away as Desi plays on her phone.

"Hey Camari!" Aria says.

"Hey" I said taking off my shoes.

"So Finn invited us to this party off campus" Aria says and I go sit on the couch. Of course he did.

"What do you say Cam?" Desi ask. I stare ahead at our T.V and roll my eyes. If I say no... they'll get mad and call me lame. If I say yes... they'll still call me lame because I'm not really in the mood.

"Yea" I say standing up and going to my bedroom. I take out my books from my book-bag and set them on my desk when something falls. I look down to see it was the CD that Trevor gave me and I have yet to listen to. I hear the girls continue to talk in the kitchen and went to shut my door. I grab my phone and sat down on my bed and went to my Apple Music. I look at the back of the CD case at the first song.

"Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day?" I read. I roll my eyes and type the song into my phone and pressed play. The song starts and I couldn't help to start laughing. It's just not my type of music.

"Hey" Desi says barging in my room. I hurry to turn the music off and look at her. "Get your shoes on, we're going to the mall" she says.

"Okay" I said and she stares at me.

"What were you listening to?"

"What?" I say slipping the CD under my pillow.

"The song..."

"Oh... it just popped up on Pandora I guess. I'm not even paying attention" I laugh.

"What station are you on?" she laughs.

"I think the pop hits? I don't know. You know they be playing random stuff" I said standing up putting my phone in my pocket.

"I'm not judging if that's the music you like to listen to"

"Can we go?" I said and she laughs.

As we walk around the mall, I honestly just bought a new pair of leggings and watched as the girls tried on outfits. I mean it's a house party... why do we need dresses or skirts? After we were finished, we went to eat at Applebee's. Aria used a fake to get a drink and honestly it was too easy. I was eating my French fries when my phone started to ring. I look down at an unfamiliar number. I never answer unknown numbers but I just gave my number out. I'm expecting someone random to hit my line. "Hello?" I answer.

"Camari... hey it's Nico" he says and my eyes bulge and I point to the phone. My elbow hits Aria's drink spilling it on the table.

"Well damn" Aria says and Desi stares at me.

"Hi... Nico. Hey" I said and Desi drops her mouth open. "I mean what's up?" I say and he laughs. Did I just say hi, like three times?

"You busy?"

"Nope, just... chillin with my homies" I laugh.

"Homies?" Desi whispers.

"Oh no, she's choking" Aria whispers and they laugh. Nico laughs on the phone and I wanted to hang up.

"That's cool. Hey listen... I don't know if you have plans tonight but just wanted to see if you'll like to I don't know go for ice cream?" he ask. Oh no... I'm lactose intolerant. I can't just say no?

"Yea, I love ice cream" I said.

"Good, umm... just text me your addy, and I'll pick you up around 7?"

"Okay" I said.

"See you soon"

"Bye" I said and we get off the phone.

"Wait a minute bitch, are you going on a date?" Desi ask.

"Yes! We have to go... right now" I said. After I text Nico, we pay for our dinner and I had this stupid smile on my face the whole way back to the dorm. I hurry to shower and went to my closet to find something to wear.

"I bet you wish you didn't buy another pair of black leggings now, huh?" someone says. I look over at Desi and she smiles at me.

"Actually, I'm going to wear them so he can stare at my ass" I said and she laughs.

"Wear your orange crop and your jean jacket" Desi says walking into my room.

"No, don't wear a jacket. Like come on Desi, if she doesn't wear a jacket and gets cold, he'll give her his" Aria says walking in.

"What if he's not wearing a jacket?" I ask.

"So literal... fine, his sweatshirt" Aria says.

"No, what if he's just wearing a t-shirt?" I ask. Aria stares at me and Desi laughs. This was an actual question.

"Umm... I don't know. In all the movies, they always have a jacket to give the girl" she said and we laugh.

"Just wear a tank-top" Desi says.

"Sandals?" Aria says.

"No sandals" I said. "I'll wear my Nike's my dad got me" I add pulling out the white shoes.

"Good, I thought I would have to burn those converse" Aria says walking out my room with Desi following. I roll my eyes and started to get dressed. I put my hair in a half up and half down style then did my make-up. It wasn't actually 7pm when Nico texts me he was here, but I was ready and excited.

"Did you shave?" Aria ask.

"I'm not going to wear a tank and not shave" I answer.

"That's not what I'm talking about Camari" Aria says and Desi laugh. I laugh too and roll my eyes.

"Bye" I said leaving my dorm and heading out.
