Chapter Four

Nate

“Hey Janie, Janie, wait up!” I ran towards the exit of the Humanities building as I saw Janie leaving. “Wait!” I tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention as she continued walking. She stopped abruptly, emitting a slight sound and then turned around and gave me a weak smile, her face slightly frazzled as she looked at me.

“Hey,” she said simply.

“Nate.” I said in case she’d forgotten. It made me feel slightly angry that she could have forgotten me already.

“I know who you are.” She laughed, her face lighting up momentarily and I grinned at her, happy to see that she was in a good mood to see me.

“I was calling for you to wait. Did you not hear me?”

“Oh, sorry.” She shook her head and looked away slightly. “I must not have heard you.” I paused for a second, knowing instinctively that she was lying. I wasn’t sure if I should call her out on it or not. Why was she lying? Maybe she was upset about the party?

“So did you and Anabel get home okay the other night?” I asked, hoping nothing bad had happened. “I wanted to call and check, but I realized I didn’t have your number.”

“Yeah, we got home fine. Thanks.” She looked at me again, her brown eyes gazing into mine as if they were searching for answers to some unasked questions. “Do you want my number then?” she asked hesitantly. “I mean if you want to text or whatever.”

“Sure.” I shrugged and grabbed my phone. “That would be cool. What’s your number? I’ll send you a quick text now so you have my number.”

“Awesome. 510-654-9832,” she said, and I sent her over a quick text.

“So what you up to now?” I asked her as my stomach grumbled. “I’m about to head out to grab a slice of pizza at the Pizza Shack. Wanna join?”

“Oh, now?” Her eyes lit up and I could see her thinking.

“Yeah,” I nodded. “They have $2 pizza slices today. I’ll even treat you.”

“You don’t have to do that.” She shook her head, but she was smiling widely. “But yeah, I’d love to come.”

“Excellent,” I said with a smile. “That’s truly excellent.” I watched as she played with her hair slightly and adjusted her gray sweater and pulled it down to cover her ass. Her very pert and perfectly shaped ass. I couldn’t stop staring at it, but I managed to move my eyes forward after about 30 seconds. I didn’t want to be a complete creep.

“So what have you been up to? Play any chess recently?” Janie asked me and I had to forcefully stop myself from asking her if she really played chess or not. I was pretty sure the answer was not, but I didn’t want to embarrass her.

“Actually, I’ve been practicing a lot online. There’s a chess tournament coming up in two weeks that I’m headed to, so I want to make sure I’m ready.”

“Wow, a tournament? National?” She looked impressed.

“Yeah. Maybe you can try out and join.
