Hi it's me again. Now is the college life, I have just moved in with Bonnie and we are just settling in, enjoying it so far. Haven't met anyone around campus yet, but I want to show you the place my dad got us.
"Connie? Will you hurry up? I want to get to the coffee shop BEFORE it closes!" Anyway, yeah I'll tell you all about it when we return. "See you later yeah?"
"Bonnie, who are you talking to?"
"Oh. nobody." "Bonnie, did you see that guy checking you out?"
"Which one, if you didn't notice Connie there were several."
"The one you danced with at the prom."
"Yes, but I don't care he is a loser anyway. Hey Connie do you mind, cleaning my plate, I need to rush up and call my father or he'll be wondering what has happened to me." That was a lie, but I had to come and talk to you guys, besides when I say I want a normal life that doesn't include doing the dishes! Right. Well, you know the guy who I danced with at the prom? Well you don't but I told you about him... well it turns out that he has a girlfriend. The jerk! She's not even good enough for him. Now, just let me tell you the whole story... Me and Connie were just sat drinking our cups of coffee quietly, minding our own business, talking about this and that...
"So Bonnie, how do you like being free from yout parents' clutches?" She asked breaking the silence
"It's great, you have no idea how I..." Connie looked at me strangely as my voice temporarily stopped working
"What's wrong?" I suddenly felt my throat go dry as I saw him... Cristopher, the guy from the prom he was here, giving me the eye, as were several other people. But the room felt like it was getting smaller and there was only room for me and Christopher... As our eyes met I felt the people around me melt and disappear, and time slowed to a stop. But that was when it happened... some blonde chick waltzed right up to him and started making out with him in the middle of the Coffee House. The rest of the people materialised and time sped up. I had to get out of there and fast. I ran from the Coffee House leaving Connie dawdling behind me. She stayed for a few more minutes before leaving to follow me. I went to bed early and only pretended to be asleep when Connie entered, believing I was asleep she started going through my drawers before leaving the room again. What had she been looking for? Hi there! I am Connie and I just stole this camera from Bonnie's drawers, she hasn't got a clue! heehee. Anyway I guess she has been telling you lots of things about me hasn't she... well I am going to tell you the truth. I don't even know why I am friends with Bonnie, she is overbearing and powerful and she always gets what she wants. It's so unfair that I get left in the background while she bathes in the limelight. I haven't had a boyfriend since I was 6 years old, and that was only because Bonnie paid him to go out with me. But now... now I think I have a chance with someone, I met someone so fabulously wonderful at the prom. I saw him giving me the eye in the Coffee House today... the only problem is he has a girlfriend AND Bonnie likes him too. What should I do? I slowly and quietly crawled out of bed... what had she been going in my drawers for? I couldn't wait to surprise her. I crept silently into her room where I saw her doing a recording of herself on camera. I stifled a laugh as I crept forwards... she didn't notice me she was so engrossed in bigging herself up on camera. I suddenly made her aware of my presence by coughing lightly, she started but quickly recovered before addressing me.
"Bonnie! What are you doing in my room?"
"That is not important Connie. What is important is what you are doing with my camera."
"I was just... er..." I could not believe how scared she was. It was funny.
"It doesn't matter just give it back and we'll say no more about it." I couldn't wait to see what she had said on camera. Heehee. I woke up this morning and you'll never guess who I saw out on his morning stroll... Yes! Christopher. I had to run out and talk to him about prom night, I mean I thought we had a connection, besides I always get what I want. "Hi Christopher. Do you remember me?" He had better or I'll...
"Of course I remember you. How could I forget, you're Connie's friend right?" Correction: she is my friend.
"Yes, that's me! So your relationship, is it serious?"
"What relationship?"
"Well I saw you sucking the face off of that girl in the coffee house... I kind of call that a relationship" But then again maybe it wasn't. "Oh THAT? No no no, that's not a relationship. That's just... Clarissa, me and her go way back... but she doesn't stay single for very long... you see, she's not choosy, she'll have anyone... if you get my drift." Thank GOD
"So just the campus bicycle then?"
"Yeah that sounds about right..." Well at least he's single then. Then there will be no harm in asking him on a date.
"So do you want to grab some coffee?" Wow did not expect him to ask me first.
"I'm kind of busy today maybe Friday?" Best to play hard to get, as always.
"Sounds great, I'll see you then?" You bet!
"Sure. See you later" Better to seem casual too. He took me to the Campus lake and Park where he started making us hotdogs. I was impressed by how cool he looked even while cooking. "So how's Connie?" he asked. I was confused, why would he be interested in how Connie was? I wasn't aware that he even knew her! Maybe he's been getting advice from magazine's to show interest in a girls' friends so that she connects with you more. Yes that must be it.
"Oh, she's fine. Probably just sat at home watching TV." Hopefully he wants to talk about something else now... like me! I felt kind of awkward as we sat down to eat, I mean, this was supposed to be a date and he was talking about someone other than me. He hadn't even complimented me yet.
"You look great tonight." Well better late than never I suppose.
"Thankyou, you don't look too bad yourself." I flashed my million dollar smile and was about to take another bite out of my hotdog.
"You have something in your teeth." Great, how embarrassing. I managed to get the reamains of the hotdog off my teeth and then smiled again.
"Much better" he replied, returning the smile. I walked him over to the middle of the lake and startedto dance with him. I hope it would ease the tension and allow him to be normal around me. I was used to guys being overwhelmed by me really.
We were dancing for quite a while, it was quite boring actually. He didn't say a word, this wasn't as easy as the prom. I was confused as he suddenly pulled me into a hug.
"You're a really great friend Bonnie. I am glad I have you to keep me company." Friend? I didn't understand, I thought we had something. The awkwardness between us surely hinted at a romantic relationship. I certainly wasn't interested in being his friend. That was when I remembered Frances, and I forgot about all possible romances with anyone.
"You're welcome Christopher, shall we go home now?"
"Yeah sure, I'll drop you off at yours." He dropped me off at home, and we said a silent goodnight before I headed straight indoors without looking back. I was making breakfast early the next morning. Just thinking about Christopher and our "date" It hadn't gone very well and I was confused as to why he thought of me as a friend. No guy has ever thought of me that way before. Maybe he was gay? No he was kissing Clarissa. I could ask him? No. That would seem desperate. I'll talk to Connie. Unfortunately by the time I was ready to talk to her about it. Connie had already gone to class, so I had a go on my new Nintendo Wii to take my mind off of things. And sure enough I completely forgot about everything, well at least until Connie came back. I sat Connie down saying that I needed to have a chat with her about Christopher. She seemed extremely nervous and worried, but I just shrugged it off as her not knowing him very well.
I told her all that went on during the date and what he had told me and all of my concerns. "Do you not think that it's just possible he likes someone else?" She replied simply.
"Who Clarissa? No it's not possible I told you what he said about her." Doesn't she listen to anything I say.
"I wasn't actually thinking about Clarissa no..." "Then who are you talking about?" Was there someone else in the equation that I needed to get rid of?
"I don't know, but maybe you should ask him? He might tell you."
"It wouldn't be that easy Connie and you know it. Anyway, you coming to watch a movie with me later?" She agreedso I told her I would meet her later. I was going to talk to Christopher. So I headed downstairs and called Christopher, asking him if he wanted to meet up later on tomorrow night and have a picnic under the stars. "I'm sorry Bonnie, I have plans with someone tomorrow night." So he did have someone else.
"Who is it?"
"I'm afraid I can't tell you that Bonnie." Why not?
"I thought I was your friend, surely you can tell me anything?" "Well I suppose I can trust you. I can can't I?"
"Of course I won't tell anyone." Unless it is really worth gossiping about.
"It's your friend Connie." I was speechless. What? Since when has anyone ever chosen Connie over me? In fact no-one has ever chosen Connie at all! When I didn't say anything Christopher hung up, I assumed thinking I had already hung up beforehand. How could this have happened. Well I suppose the movies with Connie is out of the picture now. Why had she lied to me? She could have just told me, instead of allowing me to humiliate myself. I hope she gets her just rewards. I met Connie as she was coming down the stairs. I was so angry i just blew up in front of her.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MY FRIEND! YOU KNEW I LIKED HIM! WHY WOULD YOU JUST STEAL HIM FROM ME?" "Bonnie, you don't understand. No-one likes you. And it's hardly my fault that you're jealous because for once, someone actually fancies me over YOU!" Rage boiled up inside of me, this had nothing to do with someone fancying her. It was because it was Christopher!
"WELL CORNELIA. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH RUINING OUR FRIENDSHIP THIS WAY. YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU LIKED HIM AS WELL! YOU KNEW I LIKED HIM SINCE THE PROM!"
"SO DID I, BONNIE. ONLY YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THAT I DANCED WITH HIM A LOT MORE THAN YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE OUT OF YOUR FACE AND THROWING YOURSELF AT EVERY GUY AVAILABLE!" "IF THAT'S HOW YOU FEEL, I WILL STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY AND YOU CAN STAY OUT OF MINE!"
"FINE!"
"FINE!" I was sick to my stomach, she angered me that much. I was also just so ashamed of myself. I had just fell out with my best friend over some stupid guy. Well I wasn't apologizing, it's not my fault. Is it? I sat alone in the dark letting the tears just fall down my face. I wondered if Connie felt the same way as I did, I don't care how she feels. I hate her. Over the next few weeks my appearance got gradually and gradually worse. I was just so depressed with no friends, my grades and appearance were suffering from it. I spent most of my time sitting in front of the TV, dressed comfortably in a t-shirt and trackies. I got regular visits from Clarissa late in the night telling me to stay away from Christopher. I kept telling her I wasn't with him, but she didn't believe me. I hadn't given the game up about him and Connie, I mean how could I, she WAS my best friend. I don't want to see her get hurt. Connie has been going on more and more dates with Christopher, and is actually bringing him back to the house now. I can't begin to explain how hard it is sharing a place with an ex-best friend and her boyfriend. I just returned from class one afternoon, when Connie actually spoke to me for the first time in ages.
"Er, Bonnie, your mum called, she said it was urgent that you need to call her back as soon as possible."
"Ok, er thanks." It turned out that my father, had just been found extremely ill, and had been rushed into hospital. He was not expected to last the week. "Mum, I... I'll be there as soon as I can." My dad had to be all right he just had to, he meant everything to me. I couldn't live without him. I called a Taxi, I had to head over to the hospital immediately. I took one last glance at the house my dad had got us, I doubted I would ever be back here again. I just hoped that Connie and I would be friends again in time. This is the end of "The College Life" I hope you enjoyed it, I almost made myself cry. I hope you look out for the next installment, and a special thanks to all the custom content makers. And of course, the readers who I continue to thank for reading my stories.

Its ok but not as good as some of you other stories. Not very consistent. In the last story she was using her life savings to rent, but in this one it seems as if daddy was paying. She cries a lot. Not one of my fav characters but perhaps you have made her like that so that we can learn to love her. You screenies are good

I don't get it.
She didn't do anything wrong except not want to do dishes, she spent money and talk about boys. I don't like to do dishes either, and you guys don't call me a spoiled little girl. Also, don't all teens spend money and talk about boys? What's so bad about that? I personally don't like Connie, the redhead, because she knew that Bonnie liked Christopher, and then there she goes and goes out with him and kisses him and stuff. 
Bonnie is kind of spoiled, I agree, but she hasn't stolen boyfriends or scoffed at poor people, has she? I rate this a 5.0, wish I could rate higher.
