Chapter Thirteen

Once I arrive home, I sit on the bed and pull out my phone from my bag to text Layne that I made it safely. Then I dial Alexis’ number to tell her the little piece of news that will have her squealing.

“Hello?” Alexis answers.

“Alexis, you are never going to believe this. But Cole is Layne’s new roommate.”

“What? How did this come about?”

“Well, it’s a long story, but long story short, Dylan got his ass handed to him by Layne and he kicked him out of the house. So Layne was looking for a new roommate. Imagine my surprise when I saw Cole there just as Layne and I were about to go to a movie.”

“Okay, so like you went out on a date with Layne?”

“What? No. I don’t think. Don’t change the subject. We are talking about Cole here,” I say sarcastically. “You don’t think it was a date, do you? Never mind don’t answer that. Anyway…,”

“So who would have thought those two would be getting along. Now I definitely need to attend one of these parties,” Alexis says.

“Yes, you should. I could totally see you two together.” I smile at the thought.

“I think you need to worry about your love life, of lack thereof.”

“Fine, suit yourself,” I say. “Anyway, I just wanted to call and let you know. I’ll let you go. Are we still on for apartment hunting next weekend?” I ask.

“Definitely.”

“Okay, talk to you later,” I tell her.

“See ya,” she replies.

Winter Break is in full effect and I haven’t made any plans. I change into my pajamas. Just as I slide under the sheets, my phone buzzes.

It’s from Layne. Since school is out for break, wanna pack a bag and go with me to my uncle’s cabin for a few days? A couple of the guys are going and bringing their girlfriends and I thought you’d like to come, too. Let me know as soon as you get this.

I pull the sheet up over my head and squeal and think maybe my imagination is playing tricks on me. So I open my phone again and the message reads like it did the first time I read it.

Yes! Sounds like fun!

Great, I’ll be by in the morning to pick you up. We are taking our own cars.

Layne has always been a last minute planner. Even when we were young, he always planned something the last minute, and you were only given a moment’s notice. Now I won’t be able to sleep from the excitement. I force my eyes shut and count sheep until I finally fall asleep.

I wake at a 6a.m, sharp, so I can be ready for the trip in time. Layne will be here in two hours. I take a quick shower and put a little mousse in my hair and let it air dry, so it will be wavy. I wrap a towel around my body and notice my roommate isn’t even in yet from yesterday. Grabbing my overnight bag from underneath my bed, I flip it open and throw in a few cowl neck sweaters and skinny jeans.
