"Oh, the guy who you saw naked who told his pervy friend that you were super hot? Did he give you your phone back?"
Bryce smiled. "Pervy friend? That was just some roided up weirdo. My actual friends are super normal."
I looked away and hoped he wouldn't notice me blushing.Please don't say anything else embarrassing, Kristen.
"He's so hot!" mouthed Kristen when Bryce wasn't looking. Or at least, she tried to mouth it. I was pretty sure she said it loud enough for Bryce to clearly hear her.
"Well, I better get going. I promised a few friends I'd meet up with them for dinner." Bryce stood up. "What was your name again?"
"Alina."
"It was great to meet you, Alina." He smiled at me and walked off.
"Damn," said Kristen. "I leave you alone for five minutes and you have the hottest guy at the games flirting with you. Now that's how to rebound."
"I wasn't flirting, I was just getting my phone back."
"That's not what it looked like to me. God, his eyes are incredible."
Yeah they are."Stop, I wasn't flirting with him. I'm still with Chris." Just saying his name made me feel horrible. The image of him and Gabriela at Club Blue came flooding back into my mind. Any bit of happiness that Bryce had brought me quickly dissipated.
"Well, whatever you were doing, it sure looked like it made you happy."
"Yeah, maybe I'll be happy again some time." I shoved a big spoon full of chocolate ice cream into my mouth to try to keep the tears at bay.
We sat in silence as we both ate an inappropriate amount of ice cream. I didn't know why stuffing my face with delicious ice cream was so comforting, but it was the best. I wished I could date ice cream rather than stupid boys.
"So what do you want to do tonight?" asked Kristen.
I shrugged. I didn't feel like doing anything besides eating more ice cream.
"How about we go get drunk?" she suggested.
Images of Club Blue and Chris getting drunk with Gabriela filled my head and tears welled up in my eyes.
"Uh, okay. No drinking. How about we stay in and watch a movie?"
I nodded.
Kristen gave me a hug and then we got up and headed towards our dorm.
Going For Gold - Chapter 6
Sunday
Alina
Our plans for a nice, relaxing movie night were ruined when we got to the dorm and found Chris waiting outside.
"Get out of here," said Kristen, blocking his path to me.
Chris tried to get around her to talk to me. "Can I at least explain what happened?"
"No," snapped Kristen. "She doesn't want to talk to you."
"But I didn't even do anything wrong. Yes, I was hanging out with Gabriela after you left, but nothing happened."
"Yeah, okay," said Kristen. "So she just had her tits out for no reason?"
