The next morning, Taylor woke up around 8 o'clock. She took a shower and put on her clothes from the night before, only she really didn't want to. She poked her head into AJ's room to find him awake, sort of. "AJ?"
"Oh god..don't talk so loud..," He groaned.
Taylor couldn't help but smile. "I'm sorry..how are you feeling?"
He rolled over and shielded his eyes from the sunlight filtering in from his window. "How do you think I feel?"
"Probably like a truck hit you.."
"You don't even know...why'd you stay?"
"Because..it was 3 a.m. and I'm sure Nick didn't wanna take me all the way back to the dorm..so I just crashed here..he has to take me back in awhile tough..I have a class at 11..you wanna get up?"
"No!"
"Come on AJ.."
"No way!"
She forced him to sit up. He looked as if he hadn't slept in weeks. "This is torture Taylor..," He groaned rubbing his eyes.
"Awww..poor baby..want Taylor to make it better?"
"What are you planning on doing?," He asked with a slight smirk.
"You perv!," She exclaimed lightly hitting him.
He laughed, "Sorry..couldn't help it.."
"I know..its just your nature..I gotta go see if Nicky's up yet.."
AJ nodded and laid back in his bed. Taylor walked out and down the hall to Nick's room. He was up and had already showered and was just about ready. "Morning..," He said.
"Hey..you're up!"
"I know..surprise, surprise.."
"What has the world come to?!"
"Shut up! Is AJ awake?"
"Yeah..sort of.."
"Ohhh..well, you ready?"
"Yep."
"Cool, then let's go."
She nodded and went to go say goodbye to AJ.
Two hours later, Taylor was sitting in a classroom, listening to her professor drone on and on about english literature. For some odd reason, her mind kept wandering to AJ. 'Why do I keep thinking about him? He's my best friend!,' She wondered.
A voice in her head whispered, "But you have feelings as more than a friend."
"No you don't! You can't! He's the sex symbol of the moment so why would he like you like that?," Another voice said.
Taylor shook her head to clear her head. 'This is crazy! I'm arguing with myself!'
Later on, she left the classroom and walked towards her car. She heard someone call her name and turned around. Running up was Ryan Jones, one of the most popular guys on campus. "Hey Ryan.," She greeted him.
"Hey..You ran outta there sorta fast.," He said smiling that smile that drove the women crazy.
"Yeah..I just wanted to get out of there.."
"I understand..So you doin' anything Friday?"
"Friday? No, I don't think so."
"Well, you wanna come to a party with me at the Kappa Apha Alpha house?"
"Sure.."
"Cool..I'll pick ya up about 7:30?"
"Okay..see you then Ryan."
Ryan waved and ran off to his friends. Taylor turned and walked to her car. 'Ohmygod! I have a date with one of the hottest guys on campus!,' She thought as she drove to the dorm.
