Chapter Thirteen

Adam

“Hold on Cory, Delaney’s calling.”

I settle onto my bed and hit accept while Cory steps back inside my dorm and plops into my computer chair, spinning around. They look so fucking cute sitting there in their crop top, their hair down…focus Adam.

Delaney’s face takes up my screen and I feel the smile on my face widen. “There she is. What’s up?”

Things have been a bit awkward since I left her place after the gala, and I’ve definitely been avoiding her, because I didn’t want to talk about what happened; but she’s still my best friend. We just need to re-affirm that.

“Hey Adam! I have some news.”

Delaney’s cheeks are flushed and I know she’s excited about something, and I really hope she’s about to tell me she’s moving to campus and enrolling.

“I’m sorry I’ve been a bit out of touch lately; a lot has been happening over here. I was hoping you’d make it back some weekend so I could tell you everything in person, but I can’t wait any longer.”

Well shit, now I feel guilty. “I meant to make it back, but school is just a bit intense right now, plus things have been happening here, too,” I tell her, making eye contact with Cory.

They smile back at me, the way they have been for the past two weeks since I ran from Delaney. I meant to find a distraction so I didn’t give into the confusion surrounding Delaney, not expecting to find Cory.

They were delivering a message to one of my classes and got their shirt snagged on the handle as the door closed behind them, tearing it. They were so embarrassed, face turning red, and without thinking, I rose and gave up my hoodie because I couldn’t stand to see them looking so embarrassed.

They were waiting for me after class and we had lunch together, and while we’re still mostly just friends, we’ve been eating lunch together for two weeks and I finally worked up the courage to kiss them last night, and now…I can’t stop smiling.

“I get that. You know I understand how busy school keeps you. But I’m hoping that things are going to change; I’ve just finished submitting all my paperwork, and I’ll be joining you next semester! It’s too late to enroll for this semester since you’re halfway through it already, but it’s only a few months until then; I’m so excited!”

“Oh my gods, that’s amazing! Do you have any idea how many times I’ve hoped you’d be able to say that? Delaney, you’re seriously coming here? Like we always talked about? Where are you going to stay? Oh my gods, I can’t wait. This is going to be epic.”

I make eye contact with Cory again so they know I didn’t forget they were waiting for me to eat dinner with them, but they’re just giving me a thumbs up, happy for me. I’ve talked to them more than a few times about how much I hoped my best friend could come here, and while I haven’t told Delaney about Cory yet, I know she’s going to love them.
