I did as planned and explored campus for the rest of the day, unable to stop thinking about Jace for one second. The events from this weekend are scattering through my mind, taking up all the space in my head. 

Just thinking about seeing Jace again tonight is making me feel all sorts of things. Thankfully, I was still able to find the right buildings and the rooms for my seminars, so I won't have any trouble finding them on Monday.

It's about four in the afternoon when I finally head back to my dorm room with some late lunch that I picked up on campus earlier. I need a little comfort food to calm my nerves about the party tonight. 

I twist the key and open the door to my room, and almost startle when I notice that I'm no longer alone.

"Oh hey! My name's Bree! I guess you're my roommate" the girl says. I

 smile at her perkiness immediately.

"I'm Mila, it's nice that you're finally here. For a moment I thought I was going to be alone all semester" I answer, dropping my purse on my bed.

"No, I just decided to come in a day late, since I had a family thing. But I've already had an amazing first day!" she says, unpacking more of her things.

"Sounds like a great start" I smile back at her. 

We talk for a little while, and establish that we have the same major, and overall a lot in common.

"So, where are you from?" Bree asks me.

"I live thirty minutes away, so not far at all. How about you?"

"I'm from Portland, I decided to have at least a little change of scenery" she answers.

"Sounds amazing, I've always wanted to visit."

"You totally should! And if you do, I'll make sure to tell you all about  the most amazing spots. Hey, do you have anything planned for tonight?" Bree asks me, doing a little happy dance.

"Funny story actually. There's this guy I met yesterday, and he's picking me up at eight tonight to go to a party" I tell her, and blush a little just thinking about him.

Bree lets out a little scream. "Really? What guy? Tell me everything" she says eagerly. 

I explain the events of yesterday and today, and Bree is just as concerned yet as excited as I am.

"Wow, I'm sorry that happened to you. But at least there's a good thing coming out of it, hopefully. What's his name?" she wonders.

"Jace" I answer quietly.

"JACE?" she full on screams this time, making me startle. "Sorry. Jace Evans?" she corrects herself, chuckling a little.

"I don't really know his last name, but he's tall, super handsome and has one arm and both hands fully covered in tattoos, if that helps" I explain, trying not to daydream about him in the process.
