out with them and meet up with you remember?” I ask worriedly.
    “But your hair, your contacts, what are you going to do abou t that and meeting up with Liam?”
    “Hair is fine, I already took my contacts out, and I’m not going to meet up with Liam.  I’m going to make an excuse, leave and come hang out with you at the sorority house.”
    “I feel like this isn’t going to go so well.”
    “Yes it will; it has to.”
    “How are you going to avoid him for two years Hails?”
    “I’m not going to avoid him for that long.  I’ll see him on summer break.”
    “I can’t believe he still doesn’t know you go here, or that he slept with you,” she says laughing.
    “That’s a little secret that we are going to keep quiet on.  If I wouldn’t have pretended to be someone else , it would have never happened.  I’ve been dreaming of that man since I was a little girl.”
    “Yeah, but don’t you want him more now?”
    “Well yeah, but it’s enough to know I had him one time and it was amazing,” I say with a stupid smile plastered to my face.
    “If you say so.  Is Kenzie staying with us tonight or with Liam?”
    “Neither, they are staying in a hotel room for the night.”
    “Why?”
    “Alone time or something like that.”
    “Aww , young love.”
    “Yeah , I guess.”
    Brody and Kenz get to my dorm without any issues.
    “God I’ve missed you two,” I say giving each of them a big hug.
    “We’ve missed you too,” Kenz says, “Holy shit, your hair looks awesome.”
    “Thanks.  I tried something different.”
    “It looks good on you Hails,” Brody says.
    Quinn walks in the door, “This is Quinn, Quinn this is Kenzie my sister and Brody.”
    “Hi,” they all say in unison.
    “So what’s the game plan?” Kenzie asks.
    “ Parties,” I say excitedly.
    “I told Liam we would meet up with him at some point,” Brody says looking devilish.
    “I figured that.  You don’t see each other often,” I say playing along.  No way can I let him see me two weeks after I had sex with him.
    “Is that a tattoo Haley Lawrence?” Kenzie asks as she grabs a hold of my arm to check out my ink.
    “Sure is,” I say excitedly.
    “I like it.  It suits you,” she says.
    “I thought so too.”
    “It’s nice,” Brody says looking confused, “Anything else new you want to tell us?” he asks.
    “Umm…I joined a sorority, but you already know that,” I say with a smile, “That’s about it.”
    “Any boyfriends?” Kenz asks.
    “No, not yet.”
    “She has a few prospects though, don’t let her fool you,” Quinn chimes in.
    “Do tell,” Kenz says excitedly.
    So I fill her in on two different guys that I think are cute and sweet that are in my History and English classes.  They still don’t compare to Liam though, but I won’t tell her that.
    We spend the next hour catching up and eating pizza that we ordered before heading out.  I can’t help how much I miss these two.  We need to hang out a lot when we go home.
    We check out a few sorority parties before Brody says he’s going to meet up with Liam.  The girls and I are having fun and decide to stay where we are, while Brody goes to hang out and have some guy time.   I’m thankful, because I know Liam would know it was me who he slept with in no time at all.
    “Shit,” I whisper as I slap Quinn on the arm.
    “Ouch, what’s wrong?” she asks as she rubs the spot I just hit.
    “Liam’s here,” I state , as I nod in the direction he’s standing.
    “Oh shit,” she says looking worried.
    “I need to get out of here now, I say almost panicking.
    “Where’s Kenzie?” Quinn asks.
    “I don’t know,” I say looking around for her everywhere.
    “Uh-oh.”
    “What?” I ask.
    “She’s over with Brody and Liam,” Quinn says as she points to where Kenzie’s at.
    “I need to leave now,” I say freaking out.
    “Let’s go.  You can text her on the way home.”
    “Good thinking,” I say as we sneak out the back door
