EMILY'S POV "Mum we got it" I and Vanessa both chorus as both our mums gave us nonstop pep talk about college, we arrived WSU some minutes ago but they won't let us go in cause of one little advice or the other "We wouldn't engage in any delinquent act, so there's no need worries and we'll definitely study, seriously mum we aren't kids we know what to do" Vanessa voiced put as the good child she seem to be "Not all of us" I said barely audible, only Nessa heard me and she busted out a bit"Vanessa darling, would you do me a favour and watch over Emily, you're clearly the responsible one and she could be a pain in the butt" My mum requested"Seriously? I'm i some kinda dog or something?" I questioned faking annoyance "No problem Mrs Lopez, they won't be any trouble" She assured and we said our goodbyes, they drove off and we waved until they got out of sight"Finally..." I exclaimed"Thought they'll never leave" I groaned and it made Vanessa laugh a bit "Oh I'm sorry, i wasn't
VANESSA'S POV (continues ) Emily woke up with a pounding headache so i gave her some pain killers earlier to subside the pain and she feels a bit better now, like she said "Good news, the headache's gone but i still feel a little hungover" "Serves you right you know, seriously who gets hungover on their first day of school?" I frankly asked"Well since it was a freshers party, I'm gonna guess 80 percent of freshers would be like me today" Emily said with some kind of Victory tone "Nope, you're wrong not everyone went to the party...""Hence my 80 percent, the other 20 percent didn't go" She stood her ground totally cutting me off"Even at that, not everyone in that party was drunk as you were, come on mily, you still seem a little hungover you're sure you can go?" I asked for the hundred time "Pretty certain about it, now stop asking and let's go before we run late" she said and took her key"Oh no you don't, I'm driving today and we'll get coffee on our way " she didn't prote

She greeted then turned to me"Urrmm Mily, guess we're done, we should head out now" She said and immediately went out alongside the two guys "Yeah why not, acting all bossy" I whispered inwardly and went out "Mily i got an idea for the part time job " Vanessa raised her voice against the music blaring in the party"What about the internship? gave up on that?""No but for the main time let's get into something, so i have an idea though it was initiated by someone though""Who?"I asked"Not important now, just here it, there's an opening at a department store, we could apply there if you're up for it " Nessa said"Hell yea i am " I said again, right

She said a bit raged up as well and hung up after thatI don't even get why the hell she's angry, if there's anyone who should be then it's me, i know we don't have anything going on officially but at least she could have respected the fact that there's someone who has feelings for her "Dude you're alright?"
