Pagan
Miranda was standing at her closet with several outfits laying over both our beds and the desks when I walked into the roo outa coffee shop close enough to stop by in the s on my way to each class
"Did our closets throw up?" I asked as I closed the door behind me and took in the mess in front of me
"Maybe," she nibbled on her botto"
I knew for a fact she had enough clothes to clothe a s to wear on a date Must be soo this crazy over what to wear in years
"Who’s the lucky guy?" I asked, ed to me and her royal blue scarf shirt so I could sit down on uy froet this! He is in the sao out to dinner tonight and go see ato work
"Uirlfriend or is obviously in a relationship I saw it last night at the club You know I don’t do drama and that is some serious drama there You’ll have to tell Jay ‘no thanks’ for me"
Miranda’s face fell and she dropped the red jacket she’d been holding up in the an, please This is important to me Nathan is, he is like, I just haven’t felt about anyone like this, since, well since," I saw tears well up in her eyes as she stared pitifully at me
"Since Wyatt?" I asked
She sniffed and nodded "It isn’t as strong as what I felt for Wyatt, but I just ly when he touches me He isn’t Wyatt No one will ever be Wyatt But when I’m with him my heart doesn’t hurt"
Well, crap She finally finds a guy toperfect
"I’o out with Jay," I assured her
Miranda walked over and pushed the clothes beside me out of her way and sat down "I am sure he would But I don’t know him that well We justfor hours He kissed me ItI just want to have you there withI’m not alone"
Double crap
"What about Jay’s girlfriend?" Please tell o anywhere with him This will be my only way out
"Nathan said that Jay and Victoria aren’t an ites with their fraternity She has been after hiiness but until he saw you walk into the club he hadn’t had a probles with Victoria Nathan said you are all he’s talked about since he saw you Come on, it’ll be fun I need you there"
This was trouble I looked at Miranda’s pleading eyes and kneouldn’t be able to tell her no "What ti to be here?" I asked and she jumped up and squealed
"At seven," she replied It was only three What was she doing getting ready now?
"We have four hours Why the clothing panic?"
Miranda rolled her eyes, "because it’s gonna take me four hours to do all that I have to do to be presentable"
I gathered the clothes up that she’d left on my bed and took them over to hers and dropped the a nap If I have to do this then I definitely need some sleep I’ to wear But proet up in plenty of ti to pick you out a h

"Come on, Chick, time for you to head up You’ll have another life before you know it Say your goodbyes to this one," Gee inforrabbed her hand and they left
