always hard when someone hasn’t given you a reason to trust them. I know what it’s like to have someone move on without you. But at some point, you have to move on too. For yourself.”
    I stare up at him. Whether he’s guessing or not, he seems to know a lot about my life. I believe Adam when he says Luke is a decent guy. But that doesn’t mean I want anything to do with him.
    The music students have stopped singing. Music plays from the stereo system. There are far less people here now than when we first arrived.
    Adam notices it too and cranes his neck to look up at the stage. “I think that’s our cue to leave. Let’s find Brielle.”
    Adam grabs my hand and walks ahead of me as we search the lobby for Brielle. Ten minutes later, we find her making out with some guy against a wall. Adam pulls her away and pushes her toward the hallway leading out of the lobby. She giggles and waves at the guy, making a “call me” gesture to him as she attempts to stay upright in her heels.
    We walk toward the dorms with Adam practically holding Brielle up so she doesn’t fall over. I trail behind them. Brielle has clearly had more to drink since we left her earlier and Adam struggles to keep her on her feet and make forward progress at the same time.
    I look backward into the lobby before I step through the door into the hallway that leads to the dorms. My eyes meet Luke’s as he dances with a girl I don’t recognize. He smiles at me and I can’t help the shy smile that crosses my lips.
    But it’s just a friendly smile. Because it was just a dance. Nothing more.
    THE HIT LIST: THE GIRLS
    September 7
    It’s been a week since the third annual Hit List games launched and guys are already starting to score. But let’s face it. It’s boring to watch our guys run around chasing the same point values week after week.
    It’s time to up the stakes a little.
    This is the part in our show where I introduce our bonus girls. The bonus girls are worth more points if a Hitter is able to get them into bed. The first Hitter there gets to claim the points. After someone claims points, the girl will lose her bonus status and become like every other girl in the game.
    Now, before this year, these girls remained anonymous until the very end. What fun is that? In no particular order, here are the lucky girls.
    RACHEL BARRONS
    SAMANTHA JAMESON
    ASHLYNN JENKINS
    NOELLE SANSTROHM
    KATE WILLIAMS
    BRIELLE WATKINS
    JESSIE FREEMAN
    REBECCA HEMSWORTH
    COURTNEY TURNER
    SADIE BRYANT
    Relationships are not worth anything more than your happiness. Good for you for having sex with your girlfriend, but you’re not getting points for it. If a Hitter happens to enter a relationship, he is still able to get points by running the bases with girls outside of his relationship. We won’t judge you, but your girlfriend might.
    Hitters cannot claim points for the same girl more than once. If you’re going to bang the same girl all semester, you might as well date her. For those of you who think you can cheat the system, you might want to consider how pathetic that looks. Maybe that’s why you don’t have any points. Just saying.
    Seriously. It’s a game. Don’t fuck with people’s fun.
    I hope you all continue to follow along. Starting today, anyone will be able to vote on the order of the bonus girls and who is worth the most points. You can only vote once a day, but you can vote every day if you want. The next post will have an update of the Hitters. Who’s in the lead, who stands a fighting chance, and who’s barely in the game? Come back to see.
    In the meantime, happy hitting!

    Saturday is pretty open for the most part. Technically, there isn’t class, but that doesn’t stop me from going into the studio around noon. The studios are almost empty. I guess people would rather go out for the day instead of spend their free time dancing.
    Fine by me. It allows me access to a studio I didn’t reserve.
    I turn the stereo on and jog
