I burned deep in my gut with desire for answers.
“Hey there, roomie! I was wondering when you’d get back.”
Hannah’s voice startled me and I slapped my laptop closed.
“Uh oh. What were we doing in here?”
I shook my head. “Nothing. Just some research.”
I looked over at Hannah and found her smiling salaciously at me.
“What kind of research?”
I rolled my eyes. “Not the kind you’re thinking of.”
“Ah, don’t worry. They don’t allow my favorite porn sites to stream on campus anyway.”
“That’s goo--wait, what? You watch porn? Seriously?”
She threw her head back with laughter. “Dani, everyone watches porn.”
“I don’t watch it.”
“You will eventually. You know, once you learn to create a bit of your own.”
I wrinkled my nose. “I don’t know what that means, and I don’t care to know.”
“So how was the time at your parents’ place?”
She pulled up a chair in front of me and I shrugged.
“It was nice. Restful. Got a lot of studying done.”
“And not looking at those porn sites at all. Right?”
I shot her a look. “Drop it.”
She held up her hands. “Fine by me. I don’t have much time anyway. I have to get myself a shower before I get ready for tonight.”
“What's tonight?”
“I’m going out with some friends for drinks. Rachel’s going to be there.”
I nodded. “Have a good time.”
“Yooooou… want to come with us?”
I shook my head. “I’m good. At least for tonight. The ten-hour drive was long, and I still have some reviewing to do before classes tomorrow.”
“At least you have afternoon classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.”
“Right? Get to sleep in a bit after my wild night of studying.”
She snickered. “You’re a wild one, you know that?”
“I try my best.”
“Well, if you change your mind, just shoot me a text. We’re all going to be out pretty late, so no time isn’t good for us. I’ll let you know where we are if you want to hang out.”
