this whole trip.”
“It’s fine , but please don’t be like this on the way home in a few months.”
“I won’t, I promise.”
“Good.”
“Are you moving in to the sorority house for next year?”
“Yeah, my roommate wants to and we rushed together so we are going to room together in the house too.”
“That’s cool. You like the sorority?” Liam asks.
“Actually I do. I wasn’t planning on joining a sorority, but I’m really glad I did.”
“Yeah, I was surprised to hear you were in one. I never took you for the type.”
“Guess you don’t know me as well as you thought you did.”
“You’re right on that. So what are your plans once we get back?” he asks changing subjects.
“Not really sure. I’m ready for summer though.”
“It will be here before you know it.”
“Yeah, it will,” I agree.
“ Are you glad you made the decision to go to Michigan instead of West Virginia?”
“Definitely. I miss Kenzie and Brody , but I made the right choice for me.”
“Good. You n eed to do what’s right for you,” he says with a smile.
“You ready to get back into football?”
“Always,” he says eagerly.
“You still love it?”
“Hell yeah. What’s not to love?”
“True. You’re about to be a senior.”
“I know, that part I can’t believe.”
“Why not?”
“Not ready for it to be over I guess.”
“Well it’s not yet. You still have another year to go. Do you think you’re going to try to go pro?”
“That’s the plan. My agent wanted me to drop out and go pro this year, but I’m not doing it,” he says surprising me.
“Why not?”
“Because I need a back-up plan, if it doesn’t work out.”
“ Like it wouldn’t work out Liam,” I say with a knowing look.
“You never know and I love college football. So I want to get my degree and play my senior year here before seeing what happens.”
“That’s smart.”
“I think so, unfortunately not everyone agrees with me,” he says solemnly.
“Your parents don’t?” I ask surprised.
“No they do, they think education’s the most important thing.”
“Then who?” I ask confused, because I know Brody wouldn’t care what he does.
“Meg.”
“She wants you to leave school for pro football?” I ask , not believing what I’m hearing.
“Sure does.”
“Why?”
“I guess , so she knows there’s a stable future. Who knows?”
“But that wouldn’t mean a stable future , because you just said you never know what could happen.”
“I know, but it’s my choice and I already made my decision.”
“She’ll get over it, I’m sure.”
“She’s fine now, but every once in a while she brings it up.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be, it’s not your fault.”
The rest of the drive is easy conversation, which would have been nice the entire way, but oh well, I will take what I can get I guess. It’s around 7:00 p.m. when Liam drops me off at my dorm. I grab my bags say good night and head inside to see if Quinn is back yet.
“Damn girl I thought you were never going to get here,” Quinn says as I enter our room.
“It’s a long ass drive,” I say as drop my bags to the floor.
“God I’ve missed you,” she says as she comes and gives me a hug.
“Missed you too buddy. How was home?”
“Ugh, same old shit. How was yours?” she asks with a look.
“Good.”
“You didn’t drive back to campus, why is that?” she asks curiously.
“Oh Liam and I decided to carpool.”
“Liam huh…does he know?”
“No and he never will.”
“I’m not saying anything, but I was just curious. I can’t believe he didn’t put it together.”
“He was pretty drunk that night and I was gone before he woke up, so he probably thought he imagined it.”
“Could have, though , that would surprise me.”
“Oh , he was surprised when he saw me with brown hair that’s for sure and that I go here.”
“I think it’s hilarious. So did
