“Are you ready Tyler?”
“For what?” I said. I glanced up and my eyes focused on Christina’s bright childish gaze. I threw the last of my folded clothes into my luggage, zipped it up and pulled up the handle. Every piece of clothing I wore for four years fit into that soft baggage. I had just enough time to catch a ride with my parents or take the train if I wanted to socialize. My social circle consisted of one person, Christina.
“Why are you leaving for home? Don’t you realize what you have accomplished? Here, use my phone and call your parents and tell them you’re staying with me tonight and you’ll be home tomorrow,” Chris said with a nod waiting for me to take the phone.
“I don’t know. They’re outside waiting for me,” I said with the sophistication of a five year old. “Should I?” I could see my father’s beat up Ford truck from my dorm window.
“Of course you should. When will you ever be eighteen again and get the chance to hobnob with the future Titans and leaders of the world?”
“I don’t feel comfortable among rich arrogant ass holes.” A slight furrow of Chris’s brow made me understand that I had hurt her feelings. I said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean you.” And her mouth with a slight turn upward burst into a bright smile.
I had known only once when she didn’t smile. It was when she got a D in Science and her parents threatened to confiscate her smartphone. They just threatened. A threat is only good if you carry it out. She was their only child and Chris was sweet and beautiful and no one could resist her childish grin.
I tutored her and she raised the D to a B and we became best friends.
Her smile was real and permanent on her face as if the world could never touch her and snatch away her dreams. Her small round face wore bright blue eyes and her hair was jet black and short framing her charming little face. I was sure she dyed her hair that color because she was a natural blond and wanted to be something she wasn’t. She wanted to be like me poor and unassuming and a brunet, but she wasn’t and that may have been one more reason she befriended me.
Chris’s height, five feet five inches. One inch shorter than me. Her dress size around zero and mine a size 6. She was the perfect size for fairytales and living happily ever after. She was born into money, but by the way she dressed it wasn’t obvious. Her mother knew this famous up and coming designer in New York, and Chris would try out the clothes and give him feedback. It wasn’t just the clothes, she lived in the most expensive area in New Jersey, had a loft in Manhattan, and she drove a Porsche Carrera.
It wasn’t just the cars that she drove, it was the respect that the rich girls at school poured on her. One day she took pity on me and tried offering me some of her clothes. I was stupid and proud then and refused. Her feelings were hurt, but she understood me and I knew she wasn’t like those snotty, snooty, girls who made my life miserable.
I called my parents at Chris’s insistence. I trusted her. “Mom and dad, I’m going to stay over at Christina’s.”
“We’re happy that you’re getting out and meeting people,” my mother said without a question.
I added, “I’ll be home early tomorrow. See you. I love you both.” My parents trusted me to do the right thing, and I had been a trustworthy person until I met that handsome college senior, Brandon Charles, with the electric smile that could burn a hole in a girl’s heart, body, and soul.
