Chapter 8: The Beginning of August

Olivia was excited to start school.  She's already got an acting class with Usher, a creative writing class, an English and Calculus class.  She decide that this year she was going to take it easy and not do too much.  Especially since she needs time to see her boyfriend on the football field.  The past month and a half Usher truly was on his best behavior and making up for all the hurt he's done.  He's taken her out on dates almost every day after practice.  Once a week he bought her her favorite flowers so she could have fresh ones in her dorm.  Also once a week they've taken long walks in the park talking about their day and week.  Lately it's been a dream being with Usher, it's like when they first started date and this time better because they're older and wiser.  Plus her and Leonardo have become best friends.  They talk about everything.  They even have the same acting and creative writing class.  The downfall is that Leonardo keeps insisting that Usher is going to cheat on her again, and that they should break up.  But oh well, she was happy spending time with Usher and Leonardo.


Usher has been feeling himself lately.  He's back with his girl, and all the cheerleaders have a crush on him.  The captain, Jennifer, especially.  He's trying to be faithful to Olivia, but Jennifer doesn't care that he has a girlfriend, she told him, "One way or another, you'll be mine."  He doesn't understand why girls throw themselves on him, but he's hoping that eventually he won't catch them and keep dodging bullets.  All the boys on the team thinks he weak for not getting with Jennifer.  Apparently she never dates football players, and every guy she wants, she gets.  No lie, she is gorgeous.  She has long sexy slender legs, and long brown hair that ends at her waist.  She is half black and half Filipino.  She had full sexy lips, gorgeous big dark brown eyes with long eye lashes and curves that can men fall to their knees.  She was gorgeous and sexy, and she definitely knew it.  But Usher was going to control his man down stairs, and not blow things with Olivia.  He loves her, and no extremely sexy, exotic, gorgeous, flexible head cheerleader is going to blow that?  Or will she?


Leonardo is slowly but surely falling in love with Olivia.  Whenever their free they talk about everything, and they have so many things in common.  They share their hopes, dreams, and what they want in the future and their plan to accomplish their goals.  Olivia wants to be a writer, and so does he.  They like almost all the same movies.  They actually have a Monday Movie night, when they rent out a movie that just came out and that they both want to see.  The thing that makes Leonardo pissed is that Olivia is not the kind of girl to cheat.  She's loyal and faithful.  So he could never know if she has feelings for him, or if it's just friendship.  At times he thinks she's flirting, but then again it could all be in his head.  He's going to figure out away to see if she still have feelings for her.



After her morning Calculus class, Olivia went to do the dorm to relax.  It was Monday, and her next class wasn't until 2, which was her acting class.  As Olivia plopped on the couch, Leonardo came in too.  "Am I glad that my next class isn't until 2" and then plopped on the couch next to her.

"Me too.  I mean in High School I hated Pre-Cal, and now I just hate it more."

"Why are you taking Calculus anyway?  I thought you wanted to be a writer."

"I do, but I always want to be extremely smart.  Math is important for a thinking mind."

They both laughed.  "I'm glad I took all my math requirements last year."

"Well I wish I took some college classes in high school instead of spending time with my boyfriend and back stabbing 'best friend'. "

"Speaking of the devil, have you or Usher heard from her?  I mean she is pregnant right?"

"Yea."  Olivia drifted.  She really didn't want to think about it.  I mean, it was bad enough her boyfriend cheated on her, her best friend back stabbed her, and now she's pregnant with her boyfriend's child.  She always thought it was going to be her having his first child.

"Well, have you two heard from her or what?"

"No.  I've ignored her calls.  She stopped calling last month.  But I'll talk to Usher about it."

"Yep.  So far he's becoming the typical football player before he even makes it to the NFLs."  Then he started laughing.

"Hey that's not funny."  Olivia playfully tapped Leonardo.  Then for a moment there was a pause.  There was truths to what he said.

Leonardo could tell that it was bothering her so he decided to change the subject.  "So I know we usually rent a movie and order pizza on Mondays, but let's shake it up.  You could pick a movie you wanna see, and I'll choose something for dinner.  What do you say?"

"I say that I don't like sushi, mushrooms, or olives."  With that, they both laughed and then talked about their morning class.




Usher's morning class was with, no other than, Jennifer.  He had Psych 1.  When Jennifer saw him in class, she sat right next to him.  The low rise jeans hugged her curves, making her butt look extra big and firm.  All Usher wanted to do was grab it.  She put her purse down, and then looked at Usher, "Good Morning Handsome."

"Hey Jennifer."  Usher mumbled and trying to  avoid all eye contact.

"Don't be afraid of me, I won't bite.  Besides, call me Jen."

"Ok, Jen."

Then Jennifer noticed the watch he was wearing, and touched his wrist.  "Nice watch."

"Thanks, my girlfriend, gave it to me."

"Wow, that's sweet.  And how long have you two been together."

"It'll be three years on September 17th."

"Wow three years, sex must be boring huh?"

Usher turned his head.

"Wait, you to haven't been having sex?"

"Our relationship isn't about sex.  I'm in love with her.  We recently got back together, and I'm not trying to blow it."

"I see, why did you two break up?"

"That's none of your business."

Right before Jennifer was going to start making her guesses, the teacher finally strolled in.  Then class began.


After class, Jennifer asked Usher what was his next class.

"Oh me and my girlfriend have an acting class at 2."

"Oh ok, I guess I'll see the both of you there."

"Wait huh?"

With that, Jennifer left, switching her hips like she knew she got him.  Usher couldn't help but to stare and watch the movements of her hips going to side to side, and her hair moving the in the opposite direction.  Jennifer looked back and caught him staring at her.  She knew then and there that he was going to be easy to get.  Girlfriend of three years or not, Jennifer knew she had it all. She always get what she wants.
