had been the night before. My heart was beating so fast. I think we missed a good ten minutes of the beginning of the movie. Finally, he pulled away to catch his breath. He looked at me briefly and then said, “Maybe we should finish watching the movie.”
Matt confused me by his sudden change, but I continued watching the movie anyway. Maybe he was really into this kind of movie. I could go either way.
I think I saw more of Matt’s shoulder than the actual movie this time. We headed out after the credits and about ten minutes of traffic. We drove back to the school and by this point, it was kind of late. The movies only started when it was dark out and it was almost midnight now. Matt walked me back to my room. Trinity was not there. She was probably at Derek’s again.
“I had fun tonight,” I said. I still was not sure what the deal was at the movies but I would give him time to explain.
“Me, too.” He gave me another electrifying kiss. “I will call you tomorrow, ok?”
I guess he was in a rush. “Ok, cool.” Matt turned down the hallway and went back to his dorm. I was not sure what brought on the weird behavior, but I liked him. A lot.
Chapter 3
----
Sunday was uneventful. I spent most of the day in the library doing homework. It was only the beginning of the semester but I already had a paper assigned for my English class. I had to write a ten-page paper on a great American author of the nineteenth century. Someone needed to remind me why I majored in English.
When I got home from the library, Kiley and I headed down to the track for a run. By the time we got back, it was suppertime and Matt still had not called. What was up with that guy? He acted as if he was all super interested and then pulled a complete one eighty. We made a stop back at the dorm to change and pick up Trinity and Miranda before going to the cafeteria. There were no messages when we got back from dinner either. Ok, really, what the hell? I had no idea what was going on in this guy’s head and it was really starting to piss me off. I put on some angry girl music and just laid on my bed. Trinity came in from the bathroom and saw my disgruntled state.
“Hey, I’m sure he’ll call. Something probably came up.”
“Yeah, I’m sure you’re right. But he was starting to act weird last night.” I filled her in on what had happened.
“Hmm,” she said. “That is odd. It’s probably nothing though.”
“I hope you’re right.” I decided to go online for a little bit before I went to bed. I had to catch up on my celebrity gossip. I was in the middle of reading an article about Tom Cruise when I heard a ding and a message popped up on my screen. It said, “Hey, gorgeous.” It was from Jason. Great, what did this dumbass want?
“Hi,” I typed back.
“How are you doing?”
“Fine. You?”
“Why so formal? You mad at me?” he said.
“I’m not mad, Jay. What do you want?” I said annoyed.
“I’ve missed you.”
“Ok.”
“Just ok?”
“Yes.”
“Oh.”
“What the hell do you want me to say? You left me for California. I’ve moved on.”
“I was stupid, Sam,” he said.
“Well, that was obvious.” Bozo.
“I hate it out here. I want to transfer back east.”
“Jay, you’ve
