“You do…” I stepped closer. “I’m your ex-roommate from boarding school. Do you remember me now.” After I told her where she knew me from she covered her mouth and nose with her hands. She chuckled to herself and dropped them immediately afterwards. She opened her arms and stepped closer to me. She wrapped them around me.

“Oh my god…” She squeezed me tight and backed away. “How have you been?” Her hands were now in mine.

“I’ve been good. God…I thought that I’d never see you again. It’s been over twelve years.”

“I know. A lot has happened Bette. I’ve missed you so much. I went back to the boarding school and tried to get your information, but HR wasn’t trying to give me anything on you.”

“What?” I was shocked.”I thought you nerver wanted anything to do with me.”

“Yeah right. That was my parent’s idea. Not mine. I guess that’s what happens when you open your big mouth.” She laughed. God I’ve missed her.

“I’ve missed you too T. God, I can’t believe we’re seeing each other again. I feel like I know you all over again.”

“I know. The same here. What class do you have afterwards?”

“I have English. You do too?” She was surprised.

“And how do you know?” She blushed. She hasn’t changed one bit. She’s still the same ole Tina.

“I got a copy of your schedule.” She laughed hard as hell. “Please don’t think I’m crazy. I just had to talk to you.”

“It’s okay. Don’t worry about it. My god…” She had to catch her breath. “We have to talk.”

“When?”

“I don’t know…Everything’s so limited around here. This race stuff bothers me a lot.”

“I know. I wish it was like before…”

“Me too…when you used to lay in my lap and we’d look outside and stare at the stars and daydream about what we wanted to be when we got older.” I can’t believe she remember that. I guess she really did care after all.

“I can’t believe you remember that.”

“Uh-huh. Remembering it has me fucked up…” She blushed and turned away.

“What does that mean?”

“It means I haven’t been able to get over you. I don’t know what it is, but, everytime I tried dating someone else, it doesn’t work. We just don’t click,like you and I used to.”

“Wow. So, you’ve been saving yourself for me?”

“Basically…What about you? Have you scored with any of these cute girls yet?”

“No.” I looked away.

“And why not?”

“Because, like you, I’ve been waiting for you too. I’ve been searching for that right one, and it hasn’t happened for me. I come up empty. I guess not anymore.”

“The same’s here. I’ve been looking, but nothing’s come up.”

“Nothing…” I stepped closer pressing my body in to hers.

“Nothing…” She pulled me closer forming the ultimate mold. “When can we hook up?”

“Right now if you want…” She chuckled. I pushed her hair behind her ear. “I really missed you…”

“I missed you more…” She stroked the nape of my neck. I close my eyes at the feel of her index finger massaging where it hurt the most. “What are you doing later?”

“Homework. Why?” I was excited. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. Good god.

“Because, I want to see you.”

“That’s impossible. I’m not allowed in your dorm.”

“I know, but, you have to think of something. I don’t think I could wait much longer.”

“For what?”

“This…” She leans in and kisses me. Just then we heard footsteps and we immediately backed away. The door opened and a teacher entered the bathroom. She both giggled back and forth, like we had done back in the day. We quickly exited the bathroom.

“That was close…”

“I know…” She turned to make sure we wasn’t being followed. “Hey…”

“What?” We approached the classroom door.

“Meet me after class. I have this letter I’ve been saving for you. I know it’s weird, but, I think you should read it.”

“Okay, I will.” She looks around. When she found out that the coast was clear she leaned in and kissed me again. “I see you still have your touch…” I blushed. I couldn’t hold myself anymore.

“Who do you think I got it from?” I thought long and hard. Immediately I laughed out loud.

“Shh.” She said softly. “I’ll see you after class.

“Okay…” She went inside and I followed her.
