Episode 4

In the dark car, Trey and Ryan were arguing over the radio. I sat back in my seat, looking straight ahead. I put my bag on my lap, hiding my tummy. It ain't flat and I didn't want Liam to see it. The car was a little small and we were mere inches from each other. It was a very uncomfortable ride.

Throughout dinner, I tried not to interact with Liam much. He did try to talk to me, but I kept it simple. I just responded for the sake of good manners. I guess it bothered him that I was barely tolerating him.

"Hey, is something going on between you and Liam? You guys looked weird." Trey whispered over dinner. I was a little startled. I looked at him and just shrugged.

"Um, nothing, it's just that I met him in class earlier today. No biggie." I said with a small smile. Trey looked at me and frowned.

"Well, someone better not mess with my girl," Trey said as he put his arm around my shoulder and gave it a squeeze. I felt goosebumps prickling my skin whenever Trey touched me. Yes, it is true. I have a huge crush on Trey. Like totally blinding and gigantic huge crush on Mr Gorgeous. I know, I am that pathetic. It's no fun being the stereotypical fat girl crunching on the hottest guy on campus. It seems futile and it's never gonna happen. But it's fun fantasizing about him.

I felt Liam looking at me. I ignored him and enjoyed myself basking under Trey's attention. Just then, Dan and Amy joined us. I grabbed Amy when Trey had gone for some mozzarella sticks.

"Amy, Amy! Look, you remember that guy?" I discreetly pointed at Liam who was talking to Dan who looked...flirtatious?

Amy turned to him and scruitnized him until she gasped a little and nodded her head.

"He's the asshole who called you a fat ass bitch! What's he doing here?!" Amy whispered urgently.

"He's Trey's new roommate and a member of my group project." I explained with a sigh. I told her what happened at our group discussion just now.

"Urgh, that sucks. Well, he keeps looking at you though. I thought he likes you. But it turns out, it's out of guilt. Well, he is gorgeous. He kinda looks like that guy who died in the Avengers... What's his name..? Right, Aaron Taylor-Johnson! Except this one's cuter..ouch! Why did you do that?" Amy cried out when I pinched her arm. She was getting a little too loud.

"Well, sorry, but you were getting a little loud." I apologized.

"Heh, sorry." Amy smiled apologetically.

When it was time to leave, I went with Amy in her tiny beetle, since we're roommates.

"Ok, goodnight guys. Err, thanx for dinner Liam," I said awkwardly. Well, he did pay for our dinner. I'm not a total bitch...most of the time.

Liam just smiled and nodded. Then he waved a little and got into Trey's car. Trey gave me a hug and a wink for Amy and the boys drove off.

"I think Trey hates me. Have you noticed, he never talks to me and keeps giving me that stupid wink. I mean, I think I'm nice and friendly...and smart...most of the time.. Urgh, whatever!" Amy complained as we drove back to our dorm.

"He's probably shy. You are hot, you know" I said with a smile.

"Well, then he should, you know, be nicer. Boys are stupid," Amy complained.

Yep, boys are stupid. But I think I'm more stupid for liking somebody who clearly thinks of me as his little sister.

I sighed as I got into my room.
