It was about 9PM when Shanna and I made our way up to our dorm room. Our voices echoed through the stairwell as we talked.
“I’m just saying he’s hot. You should do him,” Shanna said.
“No.”
“Why not?”
“I have a boyfriend.”
“No you don’t – you broke up!”
“We’re getting back together.”
At SOME point.
“But you’re not with him now. While you’re still single, you should totally – ”
“No.”
“Come on – it doesn’t have to be so serious. Just think of it like chocolate and indulge yourself – ”
“NO.”
“Why not?”
“Because… because I love my boyfriend,” I said feebly. “And I don’t want to do anything to hurt the relationship we have.”
“The same relationship you guys have ended, like, six times since October?”
Ouch.
“I don’t want anyone else but Kevin,” I lied through my teeth.
“Give me a break – I’m sure your EX boyfriend is great, but he’s not that great.”
I turned back to Shanna as I opened the door to the hallway.
“Yes he is! Kevin is… he’s a really good person.”
“I’m glad to hear that,” a familiar voice said.
