I sat at a chair in the cafe on my college campus eating a muffin and sipping on my soda with my three other dorm mates, Jaimie, Kristen, and Ashley, and my sister Lea, as we watched another on of our friends Teddy perform on the tiny stage in the corner of the cafe. Teddy was famous, but he had decided that he wanted to go to college before continuing with anything else. He still recorded and released cds, but he didn't tour. He did a few local shows, and it just happened that this one was on our campus.
Thirteen-year-old girls filed the place, sitting indian style on the floor and gawking at his blue eyes and amazing voice. I tended to make fun of his fans, but the truth was that I was also one. I had been since he came out, but when I became friends with him, I proceeded to make fun of his fan base.
"Tayah." I heard Ashley's attempt at getting my attention. "Quit staring at Ty Smith. He doesn't go for boys." She joked and I stuck my tongue out at her.
"I'm not a boy. I just choose not to show my cleavage in tiny pink tops with mini skirts and high heels." I told her and she didn't say anything back. She was a fashion major, so she was always telling me that I should dress up more often.
"She's the smartest of all of us," Kristen told her. "I think she has a right to wear whatever she wants."
"So if I was dumb I would have to dress in that?" I asked her, pointing at her short shorts and yellow tank top. She was a partier. In fact, I think she had one to go to after Teddy was done playing. I think Ashley was going with her. Actually, Ashley was going to be the designated driver.
"What's wrong with what Kristen's wearing?" Lea, my sister asked. "I think it's cute." I rolled my eye and shoved some more of my muffin in my mouth.
"Oh my gosh. Did you see the british guy walk in?" Jaimie asked me. "He was so cute."
"You mean Auburn?" I asked her. "He's in my psychology class."
Teddy came to join us as the teenage girls watched him. They all had jealousy in their eyes when they saw he was going to sit at a table full of girls. "So what are we talking about?" He asked curiously as he pulled a chair next to mine.
"Jaimie's new obsession with Auburn."
"The kid in our psychology class? He's fun to listen to." Teddy said as he waved Auburn over to our table. "Hey man. These are mine and Tay's friends." He introduced Jaimie last, who was blushing more than anyone.
"What year are you?" I couldn't remember what he had told me in class.
"Junior." He told us.
"Me too!" Lea said. "You're in one of my classes." He nodded before excusing himself. He said he was tired and going to go back to his dorm.
"We should get going," Kristen said to Ashley. "Party started an hour ago. Three more hours to go!" Ashley rolled her eyes.
I knew for a fact she was tired of being the party girl, but she had trouble admitting it.
"I have some homework to do," Lea said. "See you later little sis." She joked as she left and whipped out her cell phone. She was addicted to talking on that thing. The only people she ever called were our parents, but she loved to talk.
"You two need some manly protection on your walk back to your dorm?" Teddy joked. "Don't want you to get tackled by thirteen-year-olds."
I laughed as I playfully linked arms with him. "Are you coming Jaimie?" I asked, breaking her away from her cappucino.
"Huh? Oh yeah." She said. "Where are we going?"
- - - - - - - - - -
Our suite was on the other side of campus, which took a good fifteen minutes if you walked at a normal pace.
"So I'm thinking about trying mascara," I told Teddy. Jaimie was talking to her parents on her phone, so I knew she wasn't listening.
"What for?"
"I don't know." I shrugged. "I'm tired of being the one Ashley calls the tomboy. I want to be... girly."
"You are girly." He told me. "Believe it or not."
"No I'm not." I told him. "Name one time I've been girly."
"Prom last year," He told me. "You wore a yellow dress, did you not? You even painted your toenails!" He laughed. "Seriously, though. You don't need to change anything to be noticed." I had done all that, and I did like it, but some times it just didn't feel like me.
I rolled my eyes at him. He was just saying that. "Goodnight, Teddy," I told him and gave him a friendly hug before Jaimie and I entered our building.
- - - - - - - - - -
"Did I see some flirting back there?" Jaimie asked me as we rode the elevator to the fourth floor.
"I wasn't flirting." I told her, which was true. I wasn't.
"Not you, Ted." She bumped her hip into mine. "Ted has a crush on you." She chanted like we were in fifth grade again.
"Ummm... no?" I could feel my cheeks getting warmer.
"Seriously, though. You don't have to cahnge anything to be noticed." She tried quoting him in a deep voice. "Friend crush... friend crush... friend crush. Why are you blushing?" She chanted as the doors to the elevator opened to our floor.
"I'm not blushing." We argued until we reached our suite at the end of the hall.
We got ready for bed and just before I was about to turn my lamp off, I heard her again. "You were so blushing." I laughed as I rolled over to face the wall.
"I so was." I whispered to myself.
- - - - - - - - - -
The next morning, I raided Jaimie's clothes for something girly. I put on a purple halter top with a pair of jeans and flat, brown flip flops.
"Uh-oh." I heard Kristen say. "Tayah's trying to impress somebody."
"It's Teddy," Jaimie said as she walked in the kitchen to fix her a bowl of cereal.
I rolled my eyes. "This is not for Teddy. This is for me. I'm trying it out."
"Tayah likes Teddy?" Kristen asked and I shook my head at her.
"Well then can I put some eyeliner and mascara on you then?" Ashley asked and I gave in.
- - - - - - - - - -
"Who are you trying to get to notice you?" Teddy asked me as we sat in psychology.
"No one," I lied.
"Ty?"
I shook my head. "No. I told you last night I was thinking about being more girly."
"Ty?" He asked again and I nodded as he rolled his eyes. "Well, seeing as how he sits way back there, I don't think he'll be able to see you. Dude's got like awful vision."
"Who has awful vision?" Ty asked as he walked up to us.
"Hey Ty." I said and he smiled at me.
"Good show last night, by the way." He told Ted.
"Thanks."
"So Ty... " Was I about to ask him out? "You think we could hang out some time?" I just asked him out. Whoa!
"Sure. You want to go to the beach with me later?" He asked. "I'm going surfing."
I nodded. "Sure. Um.. what time?"
"Meet me at my car around three." He said as he took his seat in the back row and I sat down next to Teddy and Auburn sat on the other side of me.
"Hey Auburn." I said nicely and he smiled and said hello in his charming little accent.
"Strapping on some balls there aren't you?" He asked me and I elbowed him.
"Shut up. I really like him, ok?" I saw him roll his eyes as he began taking notes.
"You like who?" Auburn asked and Teddy told him. "He's a player. Or so I heard." I laughed at this.
"Yes we all know that," Teddy said. "But Tay here is willing to date him." Did I detect a slight hint of hostility in his voice? Maybe he was flirting last night. Hmm.
"Whoa. Don't get mad Captain." I said and he turned to face Mr. Bradley. "Oh, hey Auburn. What did you think of my friends?"
"They're cute." He told me. "I like American girls," He laughed. "Especially the blonde ones." He laughed again.
Jaimie didn't have blonde hair. "What about Jaimie?" I asked curiously. "She has this fascination with accents, and I think she likes yours a lot."
"She's cute."
"Miss Collins..." Mr. Bradley interrupted us. "Can I start now?" I shut my mouth and began taking notes.
I hated the ocean.

"So, like, since you and Auburn are, like, close friends and all," I began asking Teddy as we sat at the cafe eating lunch. "Do you think you could do me, like, a huge favor and ask him if he'd like to hang out with Jaimie some time, like, just to get to know her better?"
"I seriously think the mascara has went to your head." He told me. "You keep saying 'like'. "
"I always say like."
"Yeah but you just said it, like, five times in one sentence." He rolled his eyes and threw a pickle my way. I loved pickles.
"Shut up." I poked his side. "Please?" I said after taking the last bite of my sandwich.
"Fine. But you owe me."
"Works for me." I said as we finished eating and I went back to the room to get ready.
I threw on a bikini that Jaimie had insisted on buying because she said it looked awesome on me. I wasn't too thrilled, but I did like the color. It was a light green with some kind of hawaiian print going on. It was rather cute.
"Where are YOU going?" I heard Kristen ask as she stood in the doorway of my room watching me look at myself in the mirror. "That bathing suit is hot on you, by the way."
"Thanks." I said. "I actually asked Ty if we could hang out some time, and it just so happens that I am going to the beach with him."
"You hate the beach."
"I know." I rolled my eyes. "But I'm going. So what should I wear over it?" She pulled a pair of grey cotton shorts and a wife beater out of my drawer and handed them to me.
"That shirt was nice. Where did you get it?" She asked.
"Jaimie's closet."
"Jaimie! I'm raiding your closet for something to wear!" She yelled as she walked into Jaimie's room to find her asleep. She slept like a rock. Then again, so did I.
I walked into her room and sat down next to her on the bed and lightly blew in her ear. She woke up a rolled over to see us staring at her. "I have a secret."
"About?" She rubbed her eyes and streched.
"I'll never tell..."
"I hate it when you do that." She said and rolled back over.
"It's about a football team in the south... located in Alabama." I hinted.
"I hate football." She said and rolled her eyes. "Oh.. Tell!"
I shook my head and she began to beg. "You've only known the guy for a week and you're stalking him?"
"Stalking shouldn't happen until the second week," Kristen said as she pulled out a short skirt. "Can I wear this tonight?"
"You can keep it when you're done." Jaimie smiled and turned to me. "What is it?"
"So I talked to Ted, and he's supposed to maybe possibly get you two guys to hang out sometime."
Her eyes got wide and I smiled. "You can thank me later when you learn how to speak again." I said. "But for now. I'm off to the beach." I grabbed my sunglasses and met Ty at his Jeep Wrangler.
- - - - - - - - - -
I hated the ocean more than anything I had ever hated before. I would rather sit on the beach and have my skin blister than risk getting attacked by sharks, jellyfish, sting rays, or any other creature with biting - slash - stinging abilities. The only sea creature I actually liked was the killer whale. I figures that I would be afraid of something with the word 'jelly' in it and not afraid of something with the word 'killer' in it.
But I was actually in the water. And I couldn't touch. "Now, get up on the board." Ty told me and I awkwardly made my way onto the board. He began instructing me on how to surf. I still didn't like this. I was constantly looking over my shoulder to check for sharks.
After about five minutes of risking my life, I suggested that we head to more shallow waters.
"So you don't like deep water?" He laughed and I shook my head.
"No. Not really."
"That's cool. I used to be afraid of it," he said. "But I got over it." Man he was cute.
"And how did you do that?"
"My Dad and my brother and I were stranded out in the middle of nowhere one day because our boat ran out of gas and we got hot, so we just decided to jump out and swim until the coast guard came."
Cheesy made for tv movie? Nah. "Cool."
"So what do you like to do?" He asked.
"Well..." Uh-oh. "I really love music, some times I'll just sit around and mess around with my guitar. I really like psychology too. I think its cool. I'm kind of a nerd."
"There's nothing wrong with that." He said. "Do you ever go to any parties?"
"No. I'm not into that. That's Kristen and Ashley's department." I told him. "Do you go to a lot of parties?"
"Everyone there is." Ick. That was a turn-off. He was still hot, though. "Do you want to go to one with me tonight?"
"Sure."
There's a first time for everything.
- - - - - - - - - -
Jaimie sat on her bed watching TV when her phone rang. "Hello?"
"Jaimie?"
"Who is this?" She asked curiously, knowing it was Auburn.
"Auburn." He answered. "Teddy gave me your number. I figured I would give you a call to see if you'd like to go get some ice cream or something."
"Sure." She answered slowly, trying not to make it obvious. "They serve ice cream at The Cafe. Do you want me to meet you there?"
"Sure. See you."
"Bye."
- - - - - - - - - -
Ty dropped me off at my building so I could get ready for the party that started at seven that night. It was at a rich kid's house. Which meant lots and lots of alcohol and I would probably end up being a designated driver. Woo.
"Hello?" I called as I walked in the door.
"Tay!" I heard footsteps pounding down the hallway. "Oh geez." Jaimie said as her socks slid on the tile floor in the kitchen. "Guess what?"
"You met an alien?"
"No seriously."
"What?" I asked.
"I'm going to get ice cream."
"Ok. Good for you." I looked at her like she was weird for getting excited over just ice cream. I held my thumbs up to mock her playfully.
"With Auburn!"
"Oh wow." Teddy sure did work fast. He was definately up to something. "So I'm supposed to go to this party thing with Ty tonight, but I don't really want to go... what should I do?"
"Call him and tell him you don't want to go." She said matter-of-factly. "It can't be that hard."
I sighed and walked to my room and picked up my phone. I had three missed calls, all from Teddy. "Hey Tayah. Its me Ted. I talked to Auburn for you for Jaimie. So yeah. Give me a call back when you get this."
I rolled my eyes and deleted the message before calling Ty.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Hey it's Tayah." I said. "I was just calling to tell you that I don't think I'm really into going to a party. It's just not me."
"Oh. Well ok." He said.
"Do you want to come over here and we could hang out with Kristen, Ashley, Teddy, and Jaimie and Auburn when they get back?" I suggested. "I could show you my guitar since you showed me your surfing."
"Uh.. sure." He didn't sound too enthused.
"Ok." I said. "Just come by whenever."
"K. Bye." He hung up and I threw my phone down and looked at my guitar.
"Looks like it's just you and me baby." I said goofily and picked it up.
- - - - - - - - - -
"So what kind do you want?" Auburn asked Jaimie.
"I just want chocolate in a cone." She answered and smiled at him.
"Cool. I love chocolate ice cream."
"Hey Jaimie." Lea said from behind them. "Hey Auburn."
"Hey Lea." They both said at the same time and turned around, but she continued to talk to them.
"So have you guys seen Tayah anywhere?" She asked curiously as she looked around the room. "I called her about fifteen minutes ago asking her if she wanted to get some ice cream and I told her to meet me here."
They got their ice cream and Lea followed them to their table and sat with them while she waited for Tayah.
- - - - - - - - - -
I threw on a pair of jeans, my converses, and an old hoodie I had gotten from one of Teddy's shows and left to meet my sister for ice cream.
When I got there, she was sitting at a table with Auburn and Jaimie. Oh no. She can't do this to my work. "Hey Lea. Sorry I'm late."
"Hey. I was beginning to wonder."
"Why don't we go get some of that lovely frozen sugar high in a cone and let these two stay here?" I suggested and she looked at them. "Alone."
She stood up and followed me to the line that was growing longer by the minute. "He's really cute." Leave it to her to ruin something I was trying to make work.
"Somehow I knew you'd say that." I said. "Too bad he's on a date with Jaimie."
"Teddy told me he likes blondes."
"When did you talk to Ted?" She never talked to Ted unless she wanted something.
"Today after you left to meet Ty." She told me. "I think he's jealous too by the way."
I rolled my eyes. "Why don't we get these in cones and walk back to my building with them and then hang out there?" I suggested and she agreed.
- - - - - -- - - -
It was nice hanging out with my sister again. We laughed like we used to back when we both were still in high school. I missed those days, but everyone has to grow up sometime. I sighed and I noticed Teddy and Ty sitting on the front steps to my building.
"Wow. You get guys to hang out here?" She asked. "I want to live here."
I laughed and walked over to Ty and wrapped my arm around him. It was a little awkward so I let go as we walked to the elevator.
- - - - - - - - - -
Teddy had brought his guitar with him, so we put on a show for Lea and Ty. I didn't think I was all that good, but they clapped anyway.
Jaimie and Auburn came in a little later and I walked out onto the small little balcony with Ty.
"So I was wondering what we would consider our relationship." I stated. "I mean... I know it's not really anything, but I like you, and I was just wanting to let you know that if you don't like me it's ok. We can still be friends." Wow, I sounded like I was twelve again.
"No. It's cool. I like you too." He told me. "You're different. I've only known you a couple weeks, but you're a really interesting person. I love how smart you are and talented..."
"Thanks." I smiled.
"I'm serious. I loved that little case study thing you did in Psychology yesterday. It was like I was watching CSI or Criminal Minds." Now he sounded like an airhead. "I could never come up with something that good."
"Sure you can." "Uh-oh..." I heard someone say from inside the house and I looked over my shoulder and noticed Teddy was the only one looking my way while everyone else was watching Lea trying to play my guitar.
"So we're dating now?" He asked like it hit him in the face.
"I guess so." I said and he leaned in for a kiss. Not too bad for my first kiss. Yes, I was a freshman in college and still hadn't received my first kiss.
"Well, I need to get back to my dorm room." He said. "I'll see you in class tomorrow."
He left and I stayed on the balcony looking at the stars. I stayed out there almost all night. I was on cloud nine, literally. I was so happy. I was officially a couple now after only one day of not being me. Maybe I could pretend to not be me more often.
