don’t like me.”
    “Caden, I’m sure you will and I can’t imagine anyone not liking you.”
    My phone buzzes, interrupting the conversation. I didn’t even know my phone got service out here. I look at the screen. I have a text from Crystal, she’s asking me if I’m busy and wants to talk to me. I tell her that I’m busy, but I can meet her somewhere and talk to her soon. My phone goes off again and she’s saying that it’s important. I text her back and tell her that I’m out with Caden. She’s asks me who Caden is and I text her back that I’ll tell her later. My phone goes off one more time and it just says, Okay. I put my phone in my pocket.
    “What was that about?” Caden asks.
    “Girl problems.” I answer and try to change the subject. “What’s your favorite TV show?”
    Caden smiles and shouts, “SpongeBob!”
    “SpongeBob huh? When I was your age, I liked watching Pinky and the Brain.”
    “What’s that?”
    “Only one of the best cartoons ever! It’s about two mice that try to take over the world.”
    “It sounds boring.”
    “It’s not boring, it’s awesome! I’m going to bring it over sometime and watch it with you. One episode and you’ll be hooked.” I assure him.
    We’re finally back at the car and we get in and I drive Caden back home. He doesn’t say much and waves at me from his door as I pull away from the curb and drive back to campus. I call Crystal and tell her I can head over, she asks me to meet her at the library. What is it with that girl and libraries? She’s always there; she might as well live there. I don’t have anything against books, but I’ve never got into reading them. I don’t even like the reading assignments that I have to do for my classwork. Most of the time I search what the story is about on the internet and take notes, and I do well on the quizzes and tests. It’s gotten me by so far, so why change that. It’s kind of ironic really, because I write a blog and I don’t read books. I’ve never said anything about it, but I wonder what my followers would think if I put it out there that I don’t really read?
    I stop at my dorm, make sure I look good, and drop a condom in my pocket. You never know when something may happen and I always try to be prepared. I should have been a boy scout. I’m sure they would be proud.

    I hang up my phone, drop it in my bag and leave for the library. I don’t know how long it will take for Gabriel to meet me. To say it’s been an eventful morning would be an understatement.  Ryan has been texting me, or rather sexting me. He’s been telling me what he wants to do to me and asking me what I want to do to him. I keep changing the subject. I’m intrigued, but I’m bad at this. Ryan would be with me, but he’s with his debate friends, pre-planning or practicing, or something. I just know the club takes up a lot of his time. But that’s the price he has to pay if he wants to be a lawyer. Why he’s chosen law I’ll never know. As far as I know his parents haven’t pushed him into it. I’ve always felt that his time would be better spent learning a trade, or taking some engineering classes. He has a great technical mind, but law is the path he chose and I hope he can learn to be a good lawyer. I just worry that’s he’s bitten off more than he can chew.
    I’m glad that Ryan’s club has given me a way to spend time with Gabriel. I like getting to know him. When he dropped me off last night, he gave me a deep passionate kiss. I asked him to come inside with me, but he turned me down. One thing that I like about Gabriel is the fact that he doesn’t pressure me for sex. I know that he wants more with me than that, and I’m at ease around him. It was probably a good thing he didn’t come into the dorm, Tiffany was moving in and I’m not ready for her to meet Gabriel just yet. I sized her up again, really looking at her. She’s the same height as me. Her hair
