apply for colleges, I had flipped out for weeks until I knew if we would be going to the same college. I had kept up a perfect 4.0 GPA all through high school so I had several options available, but Logan was determined to attend WVU and I wanted to be with him. When we both received our acceptance letters in the mail on the same day, I had rushed to his house and tackled him with excitement. I knew college would change us both, but I hoped that we would always remain best friends. I don’t think I could handle it any other way.

“What? Do I have food on my face?” He asked as he wiped at the imaginary food on his chin.

“No, why?”

“Well, because you have been staring at me for the last five minutes.”

I grinned up at him, “Sorry I was just thinking about how I would be lost without you here with me. You know that right?”

He pulled me into a tight hug, “Don’t ever worry about that Chloe, you will always have me. We will be old and gray and still together.”

I hugged him back, “I’m glad. Hopefully my future husband and your future wife won’t mind us being permanently attached to each other.”

His face grew tight at my words and I looked at him in confusion, “What’d I say?”

His face quickly relaxed and he smiled at me, “Nothing, I was just thinking that you will never find a guy good enough to be your husband. Speaking of guys not good enough, what was up with that guy who was sitting next to you this morning? He was staring at you like he wanted to eat you alive.”

I rolled my eyes, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. He wasn’t staring at me. He just happened to look up when we did I’m sure. There was no way a guy like that would ever be interested in me.”

He frowned at my words, “Chloe you’re crazy. Any guy with eyeballs can see how beautiful you are.”

I started to give a sarcastic reply but he cut me off.

“That is, until you open your mouth. Then they run in terror.”

I punched him in the arm, “I have a wonderful personality thank you!”

He laughed at my disgruntled expression, “I’m just kidding. In all seriousness though, you really are great Chloe. I hope you’re right about him not being interested in you though, I don’t like him.”

I laughed, “And you would know you don’t like him how? You’ve never even talked to the guy.”

“I don’t have to. I know his type, the whole bad boy vibe he puts off. He’s probably a total womanizer and you’re better off if you stay away from him.”

“Seriously? Why are we even talking about this? The guy isn’t into me and that’s that.”

If only I would be so lucky.

Logan and I parted ways after lunch. He had another class and then planned on spending the rest of the afternoon downtown applying for jobs and I had promised meet up with my other best friend Amber after her last class. Amber and I had been friends since middle school, bonding over our mutual taste in Heavy Metal music instantly. Where Logan and I were close, Amber was like my twin, on the inside at least.

Her features couldn’t have been more different from mine if she tried. Her skin was a naturally tanned color and her hair was a dark brown. She had these amazing green eyes that could make anyone do her bidding, and a perfect size six figure. My blonde hair and blue eyes were nice, but I often felt boring and self-conscious when I stood next to her. The only thing I had going for me when she was around was my D cup bra size, which might bring me attention from time to time, but they tended to get in my way more than anything.

Even with her amazing looks, she was one of those people who had a heart of gold; not only was she was gorgeous on the outside, but on the inside as well. She had always been there when I needed her, and I loved her for that. There were few people who could put up with me like she did on a full time basis.

I sat on the bench outside her building for a few minutes before she emerged, shielding her eyes with her hand from the sun that was glaring down at us. She noticed me
