Chapter Nine

Skye

“I feel so bad for Cayson.” I pushed my textbook away, unable to study for another minute. My brain was about to explode. Finals were the worst time of year. It was impossible to regurgitate an entire semester onto one test.

Trinity sighed in sadness. “I know…”

“I’ve been giving him so much sex to make him feel better but the affects wear off quickly.”

“You must not be very good then,” Trinity said with a laugh.

I narrowed my eyes at her. “Why are you in such a good mood?”

She shrugged. “Slade…”

“What did he do now?”

“I asked him if there was a future for us after college. He said yes.”

“Why are you surprised?” Slade wasn’t boyfriend material, but he did a good job with Trinity. He preserved his personality and mannerism around others, but was still sweet and attentive to Trinity at the same time.

“I guess I was afraid he would take off. He’s always wanted to grab a backpack and hike through Europe, his guitar and phone his only comforts.”

“Why can’t he still do that?” I asked. “But with you?”

She shook her head. “I think the whole purpose of that is to be free, not to be attached to anyone or anything.”

People always had dreams that never came to fruition, but most of the time, they didn’t regret not doing them. Slade was no different. “I’m sure he understands he’s getting a lifetime of happiness with you, which is why he has no interest in leaving.”

“I think so…” She kept smiling.

I wanted to be happy but I kept thinking about Cayson. “I just can’t believe he didn’t get in anywhere. So weird.”

She shook her head. “I almost don’t believe it. Isn’t he graduating at the top of his class?”

Cayson was literally a genius. I thought I was smart but he put me to shame. He understood almost everything. He could even fix a car engine because he had such a strong understanding of physics. I wasn’t sure why he wasn’t awkward and weird like most smart people. He was a very rare breed. “I don’t get it either…maybe his personal statement was horrible or something.”

“It couldn’t have been that bad…”

It was a mystery.

“Are you cheering him up?” she asked.

“I’ve been making him his favorite dinners, renting movies he wants to watch, and being sweeter than normal to him every single day. I even played basketball with him the other day.”

“Geez, your chest must hurt.”

“Like you wouldn’t believe…two sports bras still didn’t help.”

She laughed. “Well, at least your rack must be cheering him up.”

“I don’t know if that would help…I know how much he wanted this. He said he would apply next year but…I can tell he’s depressed. It’s in his eyes every second of the day. He tries to be optimistic around everyone else, but I can see it when we’re alone together.”

“Poor Cayson…” She sighed. “But I’m sure he can find a job in the city making bank.”

“He doesn’t care about that,” I said immediately. “He’s wanted to be a
