Nick smiled again, turned and jogged off. a little way across campus and he was at his room which in reality was more like a condo than anything. it had a full dining and living room. a kitchen two bathrooms and three bedrooms. there were only a few rooms like these on campus and they were reserved for kids with wealthy parents. as he walked through the door and tossed his shoes in the closet a head popped in around the corner.
"Dude the party is in an hour and a half and you are just getting back?" Ceagin said still drying his hair off from the shower.
"Sorry, man, lost track of time." Nick replied as he tip toed in into his room and closed the door.
"You went swimming didn't you?" he could hear Ceagin ask through the door.
"Yah, big deal." Nick retorted. Ceagin had a tendency to get very big brotherish at times even though they were the same age.
“Com on Nick, this is my first party of the year and it needs to be fun.”
“your parties are always fun, Ceagin. Not really for my but that is because parties are not really my thing and you know that. Quit sweating it man and let me take my shower in peace.” With that the water turned on and Ceagin knew the conversation had ended.
“Why are you so paranoid about this party Ceagin?” a voice came from behind him. Ceagin turned around to see Chez staring at him.
“I’m not paranoid just want it to be nice.”
“Ok what is going on?” Chez asked as he pulled a beer out of the fridge. “Is it a girl you met?”
“No. Come on Chez you know better than that.”
“Yah Chez a girl with Ceagin, really you’ve got to be joking.” Nick jumped in teasing sarcastically as he walked from the shower to his bedroom.
“A haha very funny guys.” Ceagin was never teased by anyone except his roommates when there was no one around. He didn’t mind it so much he just wished he could let his guard down around others some times.
