Chapter Eight

Pacing just outside the dorm room, I tried to talk myself into either knocking at the door or returning to my own dorm. If I chose the latter, no one would have been none the wiser that I had been standing outside Emma’s dorm room. I’d figured I needed to make up for the way our night at the soccer game had ended. I grimaced, still remembering how distant and unfriendly I had become, after running into Marilyn and Reeves. Emma being Emma didn’t say anything about the way I had become silent for the rest of the night, but I knew I had been less than good company. In the end, we had even left the soccer game before the final whistle was blown because I had found it difficult to remain there, seeing Marilyn with Reeves.

Remembering how aloof I had been, I paced over to the door and knocked. She deserved an apology even if she didn’t accept my offer for us to go to the movies together. I told myself I didn’t expect her to say yes about the movies, for which I was already dressed. If she already had plans then that would be fine.

Emma pulled the door open and if she was upset with me for last night, she didn’t show it any at all. Her lips curved in the beginnings of a first smile. I knew where her dorm room was located because last night, after we left the football field, I’d walked her to the door. I’d mumbled a hasty good night before heading home.

“Travis, I never expected to see you here!” she exclaimed honestly. “Is everything okay?”

“Uhm, I just want to talk to you,” I advised her and dug into my pocket to retrieved the twin tickets which I waved before her eyes. “Checking if you are free and would like to catch a movie with me?”

She looked down at her attire. She was wearing a jersey dress that had seen better days. “That sounds like fun,” she replied, “if you don’t mind waiting for me to change.”

“No, I don’t mind waiting.”

“Then come on in!”

She flung the door wide open and disappeared further into her room. I entered the room cautiously, staring around at the bed in the room and the table. Her room was single occupancy and everything was neatly arranged. Her bed was spread with a multicolor spread.

“I won’t take long,” she was saying and I swung my gaze back to her. She emerged from her closet with an outfit in her hand and before I could respond, had run into the bathroom.

I could hear her humming to herself in the bathroom and I stood awkwardly. I was used to a girl taking no less than half an hour to get dressed but true to her word, she didn’t take long at all. Within ten minutes, she had emerged wearing a pair of skinny blue jeans and a pink, off-the shoulder top. A pair of lips covered in glitter were smack in the center of the top.
