“Sure.” I replied and added him.
“Thanks!” he replied and laid his back on his seat.
I have no idea what that was for…
***
Well, I can sucesfully say that we have arrived in Springfield!
YES!
We got out of the van, and I started to stretch. The hotel was just a Holiday Inn.
Nothing like a five-star hotel where they wash your fucking feet.
“We’re here!” the editor in chief yelled. I could tell she was very excited to be here.
Well, I can understand that too! She’s representing her job!
Yeah, the editor position is a job.
We got the stuff out of the van, and headed inside the hotel. The advisor was already talking to the receptionist about getting the rooms ready.
Why not take a selfie?
I took out my phone, and puled up the camera app. I was very good at selfies. I had taken a lot of selfies with X. He taught me how to make the best selfies back when we were seniors in High School.
Why do I still call him X?
Because he made an X in my heart…
Anyway, back on track.
I pointed my camera, so half of it was on my face and chest, and the other half was facing the crows talking in the lobby. The newspaper staff was talking to each other.
And here I was…taking a goddamn selfie…
I snapped the photo, and posted it on Facebook with the caption, “LETS DO DISS!!!”
Seriously, let’s do this!
***
We were walking up the sirs, and some of us were taking the elevator. I wanted to take the stairs.
Connor was taking the elevator.
When we all met on the same floor, the advisor handed us our keys, and said, “OK, I’ve got room arrangements for you guys. So, we have Abbie, Martin, and Mary in the first room,” he said and handed them their keys.
Listed off the rest of the people and their rooms, until there was the editor in chief, Connor , and me.
Shit…
I have to have a room with the same guy who I had sex with…
He handed us our keys, and I asked, “Whata about you?”
“I got my own room.”
FUCKING LUCKY!
SHIT!
“What do we do when we get settled?” I asked.
“Whatever you want.”
That sounds like fun!
We walked or room, and we entered. There were two beds, and a couch to sleep on.
The couch looked like shit…
It didn’t even look like it would pull out…
Not like what Connor wanted to do…
I rushed to the bed closest to the door, and sat my stuff my tuff on it. “I call this one!” I announced.
Jessee threw her stuff in the air, and I landed on the bed next tot mine. “Sorry Connor, you get the couch!”
He sat his stuff on the floor next to the TV, and took apart the couch to reveal a bed. A bed that didn’t looked confortable.
Wow…
I was wrong…
“We better go see what the others are doing.” He said.
I sat my stuff down, and we headed out.
Chapter 17
Day two
We met in the lobby as a group, the next morning, and we were just talking. I was talking to Jessee.
“So, how is it since we set you up on a blind date with Connor…other than the sex you almost had?”
Girl, you do NOT want to know…
“Well, it’s been good.” I replied.
“How so?”
shit…
before I was going to speak, I heard the advisor come down and say, “Let’s go!”
We all followed him to the van, and we headed over to Springfield College of Arts for the convention.
***
When we arrived at the scene of the crime, we all got out, and I decided tot take a selfie.
I borough tout my phone, and quickly snapped a selfie, capturing everyone but the advisor.
“Taking a quick selfie before the labs?” I heard Connor ask.
“Yup.” I rpelied and posted it on Snapchat.
“No phones in the labs, I do have to say that beforehand.” The advisor said. “You’ll get them taken away.”
What are we?
Kids?
***
we were given these cheap-ass name tags that you put over your neck to wear for the whole time, and we had to go into some gym for some stupid introduction.
The gym was just like your high school gym. Basketball hoops, floors with those lines I never understood, and the “Springfield Cheetas” logo on the walls.
And there was a table in front where the tip-top journalist sat.
The one who will be talking to us about this whole thing.
There were tables for each school to sit at, and I soon saw ours.
We all sat down in the seats, and waited for the other to arrive.
***
people were talking, just waiting for them to freaking start! It’s been thirty minuets and people were STILL coming on!
Jesus Christ!
I was playing a game on my cell phone, when I heard someone say something on a microphone.
“Can I have your attention?” they asked.
Finally!
“I wanted to welcome you to the HGKM 2017! Here, you will learn multiple things about Journalism and it’s many forms…”
I was waiting for this?
For this boring lecture?
Shit!
***
it wasn’t long until he stopped talking. OK, I take that back.
He tool at least 30 minuets…
“Any more questions?” he asked.
When nobody rose their hands, he dismissed us to go to the labs.
We had a piece of paper that told us what labs were available, so I decided to go to ones that sparked my interest.
Online Journalism and marketing!
If I were ever to go into the journalism field, I would o those two things.
Before I walked into the first lab, I got a text.
Probably tammy…
** Hey, meet at front of school after 3 labs. Going 2 go 2 the hotel to get dessed 4 the banquit! **
There’s a banquet!
Shit!
Now I was pumped!
Chapter 18
God damn. Those labs were boring as hell.
There was only one of them that was interesting.
Let’s just say that there should be a new hashtag trending.
#CopyrightLawIsSexyAF
I was dead when she said that!
When we met each other in the lobby, We walked out as a group, and headed to the van.
I did notice one thing…
Connor was on his phone a lot.
We had EVERY FUCKING lab together, and let’s just say that he looked like he was texting someone.
When we all got in the van, we climbed in, and I sat behind Connor, who was still on his phone.
Who the hell is he texting?
Should I look?
I took a peek over his shoulder, and noticed that the name had a guy name.
And what he was texting, was about me.
Of what I could see…
I saw the word “Gary”, “sex”, and “love”
Was he trying to say that he loves me?
Was he trying to tell some other guy that i was the reason why we were breaking up?
Dear god, I hoe not…
***
“Gary!”
What the fuck was that?
“Gary! We’re at the hotel!”
shit…
I fell asleep…
I opened my tired, heavy eyes, and looked around. Everyone was leaving the car, and the driver sat was empty.
That’s my signal…
I got out of the car, and the scorching light blinded my vision.
Holy shit!
That light
blinded me like a motherfuekr!
I slowly walked into the hotel, and walked to my room. I entered with the key, and noticed Connor was on the bed, back down, and phone in the air.
Texting someone again…
“hey,” I said and closed the door. “Where’s Jessee?”
“She’s dressing in the girl’s room.” Connor replied and tossed his phone on the bed. He at up, and took off his shirt.
“No more.” I stated.
He looked confused. “No more what?”
Was I really going to stop this?
“No more sex…for now.”
He took off his pants, and grabbed some nice cloths out of his suit case. “Relax, I’m getting dressed for the banquet.”
Oh…
I thought he was going to go all horn-dog on me and stick his dick in me.
But I would probably enjoy it…
I took off my shirt, and cloths, and changed into something better than what I had on – jeans and a grey t-shirt.
I had brought some nice church cloths with me, so I didn’t look like a tacky son-of-a-bitch.
When we got done dolling up, Connor walked over to me, and gave me a hug, while planting a kiss on my lips.
“You look nice.” He complimented as he took his lips off mine. He put them back on for one last peck, before letting go again.
This time, his kiss didn’t have an effect on me.
I thought it would turn me on…
Before I could say anything, Jessee came out of the room, and said, “Well, ready to go?”
Wow…
She looked HOT!
“Damn Jessee. You’re hot!” I complimented.
“Thanks!” she thanked as she spun around.
“Well, let’s go!” Connor said.
Chapter 19
When we arrived back at the university, we walked in, and headed back into the gym. They hade lot of tables set up, and a TON of awards set up.
AND FOOD!
YES!
There were little notes on each of the tables that said what newspaper group would sit, and ours was in the front.
We sat down in our seats, and waited.
I sat next to Connor…
Or should I say, HE sat next to me…
The place looked very nice. Io mean, it had a ton of decorations. A lot of decorations related to journalism, I should say…
“So, you think that we’ll get some awards?” I asked Jessee.
“Duh! You know it! We’re the best out of the best!” she said.
“Are you just saying that?”
“No, I actually mean it WITH proof! We’re number one in the whole state!”
We’re THAT good?!
Shit!
***
We got tired of waiting, so Jessee stood up, and made a proposal.
“Want to get a group photo?”
Well, I could use that photo for my Facebook cover photo!
We all agreed, and headed out to the balcony, where Jessee took out her camera. She put it on one of the status standing bright and tall, and made some changes in the settings.
“Get ready!”
We all stood in a group, and Connor ended up standing putting his arm around my waist. I didn’t resist, but I had a weird feeling about it…
It was only Him and I in the back row….
We al made uneven poses, and When Jessee rushed over to join us, we were waiting for the camera to shoot us.
But Connor decided to make it sexual.
He slid his hand into my pants, and put his hand on my butt.
Before I could swat him away, the camera finally took it’s shot. Jesse and the rest of the group looked at the camera, while Connor headed to the bathroom.
Why?
Was she going to beat his meat?
Dear god, that would be embarrassing!
I decide to follow him, and when I saw him in the bathroom, he was washing his hands.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know what I was doing.” He confessed as he turned off the water.
So THAT’S his excuse?
Jesus Christ…
“It’s totally fine.” I replied. I was still turned on from the fingering.
I wanted more, but part of me told my brain to stay away from all this.
I walked over to him, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Wanna to do it later?”
“Later?” he asked. “Do what?”
“Oh you know,” I replied in a sexy tone. “Make out in the stall in that stall while they’re giving some stupid speech?”
His eyes opened wide. He looked very surprised. “Yes, let’s do it.”
What was I doing?
Chapter 20
When they finally started the banquet, we were in the middle of eating. It was Connor’s fifth plate of food.
Damn, he better not fart while fucking me!
“Damn Connor.” Jessee said. “That’s like you’re fifth plate!”
“It’s not LIKE, it IS!” I replied. “but it’s not lie anybody’s counting…”
She looked confused.
“Uh…YOU are.” She replied.
True…
“I wanted to welcome you all to this banquet. May I have your attention please?”
I looked around, and I could see that it was the same guy who answered questions earlier today.
Some guy form the New York Times…
“I wanted to thank you all for coming, and we have a guest speaker who wants tot ell you her story. Please welcome, Mrs. Kelly Grier!”
there was a room full of applause, while some attractive lady came up to the stage. She looked like she was from the walking dead.
A hot woman form the walking dead…
Just…don’t ask.
“Welcome.” She said. “I wanted to start by saying thank you to all of you. You are Junior journalist, and I just want to say that you were going into a great field.”
To be honest, I do not even want to go on this field.
I only am in the newspaper because for something to do.
And she was giving her speech, I felt something touch my life. I have no idea what it was, that I looked over at Connor, and saw that he was gone.
Well, I can tell that he’s turned on.
I got up from my seat, and headed into the bathroom.
I still had that bad feeling in my gut, that wouldn’t go away.
It was like danger was on the way.
When I entered the bathroom, I saw the Connor was looking at his phone. He looked like he was receiving a call from someone.
Let me guess…his mother…
But when he answered it, I was wrong…
“Hey babe. What’s up?”
Chapter 21
First I was high thinking that he could possibly be in love with me…
and the next moment, he was talking to someone he called babe!
That was probably his boyfriend!
I pulled on my pants, and looked at him.
“Who are you talking to?” I asked.
He looked at me, and said into the phone. “I got to go.” And immediately hung up. “It’s not what you think!”
Yup, it was!
I was pissed! I could not hold my anger! I pushed him into the wall, and stormed out of the bathroom.
This was just too much for me to handle. I leaned against the wall you’re one of the labs, and started to sob. Connor then came over to me, and laid his hand on my shoulder. “I promise you, it’s not what you think. I was Just calling my ex.”
You’re fucking ex?!
“Then why did you call him babe?” I asked. I look to him through my eyes, with anger in my face.
He was silent. “I can explain.”
“No you can't. You just wanted me to be your friend benefits, and I do not appreciate that! I actually had feelings for you, and I wanted you to be mine. You just ruined this for both of us. Don't you ever tried to do anything with me again!" I yelled. I stormed back into the b
athroom, and sat down on one of the toilet.
I put my head down on the palms, and cried.
***
I could tell I was crying for a while. I just had that feeling that I was gone.
While I was crying, I felt my phone vibrate. A call…
An unknown number…
“This is Gary.” I said.
“Gary, this is Jordan.” I heard a voice tell me.
Oh god…
What does he want now?
“What?” asked. “I’ve had a rough day.”
“I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for all I did." He said through the phone. "Do you forgive me?"
Tears filled my eyes. I was about to cry again…
I wanted to be with him again…
“Yes.”
