no reason to get upset.”
“She sure didn’t seem like she is a no one. Not to mention, you made me look like a complete fool in front of your friends. You didn’t even come after me when I tried to leave. I ran into Hunter, and he made me crash in his room because I was a little too drunk to go home by myself.”
“No one thinks you’re a fool. He made you crash in his room? Where the fuck did he sleep?” He stood up and started pacing in front of me.
I knew I was being spiteful. I couldn’t help but gloat at my payback for his acting like an asshole, so I told him the truth. “Where else would he sleep, but in his room, with me.”
“You have got to be fucking kidding me.” He yelled.
“Maybe you should have been the one to make sure I was ok to get home, instead of worrying about that skank.”
“I’m sorry, Kenzie. I acted like a fucking idiot. I drank too much. I love you, and only you.” He came over and cupped my face.
Sighing, I said, “I’m scared Dominic. I feel like you are changing, and I’m going to end up getting hurt.”
“I’m not going to hurt you, I promise. Come on; let’s eat before it gets any colder.” He kissed my head, then put a slice of pizza on a plate and handed it me.
While we were eating, Dominic mentioned that he was not going to have a lot of time to spend with me, now that football was picking up. I told him I was going to look for a part-time job to keep me busy. He agreed that would be a good idea, and offered to let me borrow his car to go job hunting. Times like this, I wished I had brought my own car. Dad had suggested I leave it home, since I really would not be using it. He figured that Dominic and Hunter would be here to help me out if I was stuck. Dominic stayed and watched a movie with me, and then he went back to his room to sleep since he had to be up so early in the morning.
Later that night, when Hailey came back, I asked if she wanted to go out with me tomorrow and look for a job. She agreed, saying she could use some money with the holidays coming up. She couldn’t rely on her mom to help her out, since she was already helping her so much with school.
The next afternoon, Hailey and I got all dressed up and went out looking for jobs. Dominic had slid his key under the door as he said he would. We applied at a few local coffee shops that were within walking distance, and they all said they would get back to us. We stopped at a few places at the mall, as well, which were not too far from the dorm.
By the time we were done, Hailey and I were both hungry, so we decided to stop at the little café near campus. We ran into Gracie while we were there.
“Why don’t you try the library? They are always looking for people. All the good shifts are probably taken, but it’s worth a try.” Gracie said.
Hailey looked over at me like I was crazy. I always needed some kind of noise. This was something outside of what I would normally do and I needed to give it a shot. “Thanks. I think I’ll stop over there tomorrow on my way home from class.”
“Kenzie, you will never last at that job.” Hailey said, shaking her head.
“I will be fine, plus, if they hire the both of us, I won’t have to worry about the quiet with your mouth always running.” I said, smiling at her, because she knew I was right.
“With it being a Sunday, it’s pretty quiet over there; you could try and see if anyone could talk to you now.” Gracie smirked at Hailey. “I think Logan is working, actually.” As I said, Hailey’s mouth was always running, so I was not surprised Gracie knew about Logan.
Hailey practically jumped from her seat. “Running into Logan sounds good to me, so let’s go.”
When we walked up to the building, she turned to me. “Let me do the talking and we’ll both have jobs.” She winked, and then walked in.
There was a nerdy looking girl with pigtails and glasses sitting behind the desk. We walked up to
