CHAPTER 3 : First day, worst day

"Dillan wake up; don't be such a sleepy ass." I groaned.

"Go away Jojo." Dillan said, pressing my nose from under his sheets.

"Stop calling me with that name. It's a monkey's name." I yelled, trying to take the covers from him.

He suddenly got up with a smirk on his face and asked, “It’s a monkey's name?"

I crossed my arms over my chest and nodded, taking a sit in front of him.

"Which one?" he asked.

"Mojo Jojo from Power Puff Girls." I replied.

"Oh, I remember it now. My cousin used to watch it all the time." he said, rubbing his sleepy eyes. “But at least, you got a name of your own types eh?"

I gasped and throw the pillow on his head,"I am not a monkey."

"You so are." he teased. Okay, this is where you die kid.

I jumped on his shoulder and begin to pull his hair, which I know no guy likes.

"Just look at yourself, just a monkey." Dillan spoke with confidence.

"If I am a monkey, then you are an ass."

"Fine by me. Now get off me and let me sleep." he said and pulled the sheets to cover him again.

I groaned mentally. Why is it so difficult to wake this idiot up?

"But we have our orientation today; you won't miss it just for a few more hours of sleep." I said innocently.

"Oh I will."

"God, then don't get up. Miss the beautiful girls who'll be there. Miss the chance to impress them when they are lost in their new college, miss the chance to show off."

As the second I completed my sentence, I left his apartment. He's being a way to lazy but I know he can't stay away from showing off his 'good looks'.

I entered my own apartment, grabbed a pair of blue jeans, a normal grey tank top and black blazer with third fourth sleeves and went straight to take a shower. This morning after calling dad, Jess, Blair, mom and Sage, I finally got the chance to wake up the stupid guy who lives on my head but what can we do about his laziness? Jess is going good and loving her new college, she likes everything about it, except her roommate. And Blair's sad that she has to leave her house soon to go to college. Sage’s happy with Zac and bossing him around. Mom's in France right now, working on her next project and well dad, he was crying on the phone, which made me a little emotional as well. It feels so weak to see you dad crying. He said he feels lonely in the house, now that I and Sage are gone. Even though he spend only a few hours of the week in the house, he still feels lonely and even said he'll come to meet me soon.

After I got ready, I decided to eat something. I entered the kitchen and found a packet of potato chips and begin to munch on it.

Note to myself: Go grocery shopping.

"You aren’t ready?" Dillan's voice said. I saw him coming inside and jumping next to me.

"I am and what's with the sudden change of mind?" I asked, raising my eyebrows at his attire. Dressed in a brown jeans, blue shirt and well brushed hair. So he suddenly agreed to go to college. Why? Because of what I said about impressing girls. God, this guy can never change.

"I just thought that I can't let my little Jojo go alone on her first day of college, so I got up and rushed to your apartment." he exclaimed.

"It's about impressing girls, isn't it?" I said nonchalantly.

"Jeez, how can you think like that?" he gasped dramatically. “Yes, it's about that."

"See I know you too well." I smiled and got up but then Dillan snatched the packet from my hand and begin to crunch.

"Hey, give it back." I yelled.

"I am hungry. And you should not eat such things, aren’t you worried about your weight?"

"Why would I be worried about my weight Dillan?"

"Because you're fat." he announced.

I made a gaggling face and rushed to the kitchen to get another packet.

"Hey, remind me to go to grocery shopping." I shouted from the kitchen.

"Okay, I'll come with you."

It was just the way I dreamt. A gigantic gate welcoming the students, the widely spread collage building facing you, the campus were covered with greenery and lots of entertaining stuff. I just can't wait to take a tour of this amazing place where I am going to spend the next four years of my life.

"Welcome everyone. I am glad and honoured to be showing your new college. First of all, you all will do the entries and then enter the conference hall where you'll be guided by our respected Dean Mister Franklin, about your coming years here. Then, we all will go for a tour. So, are you guys excited?" the presenter or whatever he is, exclaimed.

Everyone shouted with him and clapped, without any emotion. It's clear seen that no one wants to be 'guided' by the Dean, it's just the tour then came here for.

I saw the faces of the new students. Some of them looked extremely nervous whereas on the other hand, some seemed to be confident about them. Somewhere a way to focused on the Dean who was giving a lecture on how to make a bright future, whereas some were not even hearing to a single word he said.

Whenever I say Dean, it reminds me of Supernatural!

"God, when will he stop?" a feminine voice complained from behind.

I turned around from my seat to see a bright haired girl with a pissed off expression, definitely because of the nonstop speech given by the Dean.

"Hi." she chirped as she saw me turned to her direction. Awkward.

"Hey." I smiled.

"Fresher huh? Isn't this place horrible?" she complained.

I chuckled and replied, “It’s not that bad."

"God, don't tell me you're that nerd types. Because when I saw you, I thought, ‘Thank God, I'll make at least one friend today.' But if you're the kind of girl who stays at home and do her biology homework on weekends, then I don't think we can be friends."

"Wow, you're a very fast talker. And I don't think I am a nerd. Plus, we are here to study business not biology." I joked.

"Ah, yeah, sorry, I was just giving an example from High school. So, that means we can be friends right?" she exclaimed with a huge smile.

"Yeah, sure. It's great to make friends on your first day."

"I am Kacie, and you are?" Kacie pulled out her hand for a handshake.

"Nice to meet you Kacie, I am Jade." I shook her hand as a friendly gesture and smiled."I think I should turn around or I'll face trouble on my first day."

Kacie giggled and nodded.

Wow, I just made a friend and that too in just a minute.

After the eternal speech ended, we were finally outside and ready to take a tour.

"Hey J!" a familiar voice called from behind. I turned around to find Kacie jumping her way to me. We just met and she already has me a nickname? Quick girl!

"Hey Kacie." I smiled.

"So, ready for the tour?"

"Yeah, I really am.", I replied.

Kacie's eyes suddenly went to my neck and she gasped.

"W-What happened?" I asked with horror.

"Oh my God, I love your pendant." she chirped with a grin. “May I touch it?"

I looked down at my neck and found what she was jumping about. It's the same pendant Ryan gave me when he apologized about breaking up with me because of that Aiden incident. I still wear it, even though we aren't together, it's like a souvenir of him.

I nodded weakly and Kacie gently touched the wings and the heart charm in the middle.

"God, it's gorgeous. Where did you get it?" she asked, her eyes fixed on the pendant.

"Um..it was a gift from someone." I replied.

She turned to face me and smirked, “From your boyfriend?"

"Come one kids, let's get going." Mr Robinson, out tour guide said.

We followed him all around the building, while he explained every single rule and regulation of the place. Kacie was on my side the whole time. No matter how loud and talkative this girl is, she's kind of fun to be around. All she did was to make jokes about whatever Mr. Robinson said.

"Hey Jojo, enjoyed the endless speech?" Dillan's voice said from my left side.

I felt his arm wrapping around my shoulder and he walked with us. Kacie was on my right and as she saw Dillan, she eyed me with an evil smirk and whispered,"Is that your boyfriend?"

Dillan was too busy with talking to a guy on his side that he didn't listen to what Kacie said. Thank God or he'll keep on teasing me about it.

I shook my head as a no when Kacie's smirk turned into a smile. “He’s cute."

I chuckled and said,"You like him?"

"I do not." she snapped. “Yet."

"Hey but the way, do you know any cute guys here, except that one who's holding you up?" Kacie teased.

"We just came here, how will I know?" I complained.

"You know, my sister just passed out from this collage and she told me about a few guys. She said that when she was in her fourth year, a, extremely good looking guy came as a fresher in here. Even though he was a freshman, every girl drooled over him. He's in the football team as well. Now, how can a girl not like a Greek God look alike and a football player?"  she informed, flipping her bright red hair over her shoulder.

"Really? That’s one lucky guy then." I commented.

"Don't you want to see him?" she chirped

"Not right now." I said, watching the beautiful architecture of the inner building.

"Your loss, I am so going to find out where that Ryan guy is." she said and begin to walk in other direction.

My heart stopped for a second and I was about to scream. Is that the same Ryan? There can be many guys with the same name.

I grabbed Kacie's arm, making her stop, “What’s his name?"

"Ryan." she spoke.

"Do you know his full name?" I asked.

"Um..I think it's Ryan Matthews." she said. “Why?"

Ryan's the golden boy here as well? God, why? Why do keep making things worse for me?

"Nothing, just curious." I stammered.

"Anyone will be curious for that guy. I mean, when you'll look at him, you'll faint." she fangirled. A pinch of jealousy rushed through me when she began to blush while talking about him but I kept it in.

Don't think about it Jade, don't think about it.

"Okay, I guess that it's enough for you guys." Mr Robinson announced and took an exit.

Whoa, what are we supposed to do now?

"Hey Dillan, where's Ashton?' I asked. Ashton was in the same collage but an year older than us.

"I was just about to meet him. I'll go find him as his classes are not going on right now so he must be in the football field." Dillan informed.

"Are you going to try for the football team?" I asked happily. I know he's a great player and he always wanted to be in the college team.

"I really want to but there's a little problem." he sighed."Ashton and Ryan are in the team as well. I don't know if I could play with them."

I narrowed my yes and asked, “Why? Why does that effect whether you're playing or not?"

"Because Ashton's my brother and so is Ryan, he's like my elder brother as well. They'll kill me with comments and pressure." he panicked.

I chuckled at my poor friend and rubbed his back, “Don’t worry, if you'll play good, then they'll say nothing."

He eyed me and said, “I’ve lived with that bastard from the beginning and I know that other asshole since I was six, I know how much of cruel people they are. They always used to make fun of me when I couldn't kick the ball properly."

"Aw, how old where you back then?" I asked.

"Seven."

"But you are not seven anymore and you've played for the school team, you'll do great. Just try." I pouted, trying to encourage him.

"I'll think about it. I think I would have to take part in football because there are many clubs here. Like sports, arts, drama and stuff. It's what they do on activity days. So it'll be easier to be in the football team rather than acting like a hopelessly romantic idiot." he joked.

"Hey, not very institute do a Romeo and Juliet play."

"Whatever, I'll go find my ass brother. Bye, I'll pick you up after an hour." he kissed my cheek and began to rush on.

"But what am I going to do till then?" I asked.

"Hang out with your new overly excited friend, who thinks I am cute." he smirked and waved away.

I chuckled and turned around.

Okay, what to do now?

I looked around to find Kacie but she was nowhere to be found. A few senior girls passed me, eyeing from head to toe. Okay, I am not be Megan Fox, but I know I am not even Ugly Betty, so stop doing that eye roll on me! Jeez!

I was about to go find Kacie when I got an immediate need to rush to the bathroom. Nature's call. Can't even ignore it.

I searched for a washroom nearby but wasn't successful. Damn, I should have paid attention the tour instead of talking to that Chipmunk of a girl.

I passed a few turns and corridor but was still unable to find a damn bathroom.

I ended up in a very silent corridor. It was a little dark in here but I could hear faint voice of whistle blowing and people cheering. Seems like the football field is near. I was walking through the corridor when I finally saw a bathroom sign at the end of the corridor. Praise the lord.

I was running to save my bladder from exploding when I came across another corridor where a couple was making out. The girl was moaning heavily and aching her back on the wall. The sleeve of her black dress was hanging lowly on her elbow. Okay, seriously, who the hell wear dress in a college?

My eyes went to the guy who had the girl pressed to the wall. His face wasn't visible because all this time, he had his head glued to the girl's body. Currently, he was sucking the girl's neck that you could hear the sound that he was making by sucking. Jeez, I am watching a couple making out and explaining every single detail about it, I sound like such a pervert.

"Stop, someone's watching." the girl moaned, “Ryan stop."

My heart stopped for the second time today, but this time, it wasn't a minor one. It began to pound heavily when I saw the guy turn to the girl's face and then followed her glance and finally looked at me. It was exactly what the girl said was...

Ryan.

"Um..sorry. I- I didn't me-mean to di-disturb you guys." I stammered and ran away.

Going to the washroom wasn't the priority anymore, running away was.

After watching the whole making out session and finding out that guy was Ryan, I couldn't think about anything else. After all these months, I was unable to date a single guy because I couldn't take him out of my mind. I was just too stuck up on him. But what he did?

He was my very first boyfriend and I know that's the reason I couldn't just take him out of my head so easily, especially after discovering that he was Shaggy.

God, what does this always happens with me?

**********

DAMN RYAN! :((
