I'm writing this story with my friend Baby_Cat. The updates will usually alternate between us. I guess we'll get to see who's a better writer.
Jk.
Enjoy!
----------------------------------------------------------------------He pulled her close and cupped her chin in his hand. Their eyes met and they held for what seemed like eternity. In a husky voice he whispered to her, "Jane, I have to tell you...Who would wear that shirt with those jeans?!Georgie looked up from her book, irritated.
A group of girls were gabbing loudly as the walked up the stairs. Georgie shut the book and shoved it into her expensive purse. As she did so, she pulled out a nail file and began to buff her nails. When the group of gossiping girls made their way into the common room of the dorm, Georgie looked glamorous with her legs primly crossed and the look of deep concentration across her brow, without actually wrinkling it of course. Her lips were pursed very slightly, completing the look.
"Georgie!" the girls screamed in unison. They all crowded around her on the sofa. "Did you see Jenna? I mean, honestly! Did she really think she could pull of that top with those skinny-legged jeans?" a girl with dry blonde hair gossiped.
"And Anna! I mean, really! That eyeshadow looked so ugly!" another chattered in Georgie's ear. Georgie plastered on a big fake grin, nodding at every other word. Did they have to do that every day?
Georgie was only half way through her freshman year and she was already one of the most popular girls at SC University. Georgie didn't even understand why all these girls followed her. She wasn't ever popular in high school, nothing had changed about her personality or her look. People at the university were just
drawn to her she supposed. No matter how it had started, she wanted it to stop. Georgie never was outgoing, and she valued her solitude. How could she ever value it if she was never left alone? The guys were a bit much too. She had no intention of dating for awhile, her grades were sinking as it was. She was asked out about five times a day. Guys all ages asked her out it seemed. Well, the oldest guys were seniors at the university of course. She might kill herself if she got attention from anyone older than that.
"Hm. Guys, that reminds me. I have to go," Georgie suddenly said, grabbing her purse as fast as she could.
"Where?" a girl with frizzy red hair asked.
"Yeah, where?" the rest parroted. Georgie cursed the girl with the frizzy red hair in her head. She thought her name was Hannah...or Jana...Or something like that.
"I have to...er...pick out my outfit for tomorrow," she lied. She pinched her hand. That was the worst lie she had ever told. Who would believe it?
To her surprise others nodded. "Me too," some piped up.
"Then..." Georgie was quick to add, "I have a ton of work to do for my classes." She rolled her eyes to the girls. Really, though, she would kill for more homework to do if it meant she could get away from them.
She left them all talking in the common room and headed to her dorm room as fast as her heels would take her. She was definitely wearing sneakers more often.
"Hey, Georgie, wait up!" she heard someone call to her.
I could keep going, she considered.
I could just keep going like I never heard her. She stayed put though. A skinny girl with her hair pulled back and wearing ridiculously large heels jogged up to her. Georgie gave a real smile this time. That was Cindy. She could handle Cindy, the self conscious girl who was striving for popularity.
"What do you think of my new dress?" Cindy asked. Georgie examined it. She wasn't fond of the color, but it worked all right for Cindy, and were those
babies on it?
"I love it," she fibbed.
If the other girls knew she liked Cindy's dress, then they would like it, which would make Cindy feel better. "Hm...Maybe you should stick to flats, though," Georgie instructed, gesturing to her heels. Cindy nodded, taking in all the details.
"I will, I will," she said determinately. Georgie walked away while Cindy took off her heels and went barefoot down the hall.
Georgie could see her room's door. It was so close...
"Georgie! It's so good I found you!" another girl said. Georgie didn't know this one's name. "I really need your help with my homework!"
"Ok, when can I help you with your biology homework?" she asked, remembering helping this girl before.
"Woah," the girl said, staring at Georgie in disbelief. "How did you know I'm in biology?"
"I guess I'm psychic," Georgie replied sarcastically. The girl started cracking up, and Georgie giggled a little, suddenly uncomfortable.
"Ok...I'll meet you later," she told the still laughing girl.
That time Georgie blitzed to her room. She whipped the door open, and then slammed it shut, locking it afterwards. She sighed, relaxing. She dropped her purse next to her desk and sat down.
That morning, she had asked her teacher about extra credit to boost her grade before the end of the semester. He gave her the simple assignment of being a pen pal. He handed her an email address and told her to be able to come back in two weeks with a packet of her emails just to prove she had reached out to someone. After she was assured he wouldn't read them, she took the email address.
Georgie sat down at her laptop and started to type.

HeyHey! I guess I'm your new pen pal. I'm doing this for extra credit in psychology. I'm halfway through my freshman year and I'm no 4.0 GPA, but I'm actually doing all right. I really like to read, but I'm not so good at writing. Maybe you can tell. Lol. I guess I just can't think of any good ideas for a story... Anyway, I'm not interesting. What's your name? What year of college are you in? Are you in college? What's your major? Do you like to read?
Er...Kay...Guess I'll talk to you later. If you want to reply, anyway.
Kay, Bye!
GeorgieGeorgie's fingers hovered above the keyboard. It was nice enough, but something was off. She started to backspace her name. E, i, g, r, o, e...
She left the G as it was and clicked send. There. It was done. She leaned back in her chair and stared at the computer screen, enjoying the peacefulness.
Bang, bang, bang! "Georgie! Georgie, open up!"
She sighed. The peacefulness was very short lived.
