“Cor, I’m going,” Bryn continued, “Are you sure you don’t want to come with?”
“Where are you going?” Cora asked with a raised eyebrow. Bryn was a lot of fun but usually anywhere she went would involve some sort of chaos. Cora was becoming disenchanted with that whole scene.
“Beer pong tournament at the Sigma Chi house. I have already promised to be Big Matt’s partner but I am sure there will be people looking for free agents,” Bryn responded casually.
“I better not, you know how terrible I am at that game,” Cora said with a smile. The last time Cora played beer pong, she had ended up losing eight games and having to be carried home. She felt like she was hung over for a week. Bryn let out a laugh with a large grin upon her face.
“Yeah, well,” Bryn shrugged. “You will be around here then?”
“Yeah, if you need a ride my cell phone will be on,” Cora offered. Bryn nodded putting on her jacket and closing the door behind her. Cora let her blue eyes return to the text as she read the pages. Why she ever decided to go into medicine she would never know. She suppose it was because she wanted to help people but that would only happen if she was able to pass her classes. A knock came to the door and without thinking; she said “Come in.”
“Oh, Darcy,” she exclaimed. Cora had not expected Darcy to have anything to do with her since his gaining of a new girlfriend. “What are you doing here?” she asked.
“Ashley sent me away to wait,” he said pulling up a chair in front of Cora and sitting close.
“Does she realize where she sent you?” Cora questioned. “Most of your girlfriends try to keep you as far away from me as possible.”
“Well, should they?” Darcy asked with a smirk. Cora rolled her eyes wondering if mentioning history was even worth it. She doubted that she was any threat to any of his girlfriends anymore.
“No, I think we are just friends. Until you decide you need an excuse to get rid of one of them,” she responded.

“Cora Bora, like you have not done the same,” he shot back. Cora did not really want to get into a fight about this right now. She hated to let him think that she ever used him for that.
“Only for Kit, the other two dumped me,” Cora said calmly, closing her book focusing all her attention back upon him. Cora still felt awful for dumping Kit like she did. He had been her high school sweet heart and had followed her here. She had dumped him for Darcy before the midpoint in the first semester. Darcy had dumped her at the end of freshman year. She then proceeded to date a grad student who left her behind.
“They were fools,” he stated placing a hand on the side of her chair making him lean in closer. Cora was having trouble focusing with him so close. It was so easy for him to get to her but she knew better.
“You would know, since you were one of them,” she said with a small smile. Cora stood up and walked across the room letting silence encompass them briefly.
“How is your brother?” she asked changing the subject. Cora knew the real reason Darcy had come here was not to flirt with her but more than likely something was wrong back home. He looked at her as if she were psychic. She was one of maybe three people that knew about his home life. She was the only one that happened to be female.
“I don’t know if father is treating him right, but I can’t get my little brother to talk about it,” he continued, “I don’t know if going into the mission field is the right thing, maybe I should go back home and take care of the family,” he ended. Before Cora could respond a light knock came to the door. Both their eyes went to it before Darcy said, “It’s open.”
“Hate to interrupt but Darcy I am ready to go,” Ashley stated. Cora looked over the blonde freshman. She was attractive, tall and leggy with a large bust. Darcy really knew how to pick them. Darcy stood from his seat and crossed the room wrapping his arms around Ashley’s waist.

“It was good talking to you Cora,” he said ushering Ashley out the door. Cora turned back to her work, it looked to be a boring Friday night.
