Collegiate Diaries

  November 22, 2012  New semester, new year, new JJ. My freshmen year was a little more intense than it should have been, but I guess that is life for ya. I have decided that this year I'm not even gonna deal with the guys here anymore until my life gets back on the right track. I was even hype about my english class even though english isn’t my forte in school. Nevertheless, like I said “new JJ”. While walking to class,  I pass by a familiar face that I haven’t seen since  high school . I turned around and I couldn't believe it. “Jason,” I called out.  A 6’2 white skin short hair guy  turned around  towards me and said “holy crap JJ i low-key forgot you went to this school.

Since I was the last one to arrive (is that a surprise) I was about to text the girls to let them know I was settled and ready to meet up, but I received a text from my ball player. WHAT’S GOOD, STRANGER? I chuckled and laid back on my bed. Stranger? That was cute because we have definitely kept in touch over the summer; maybe not as often as we normally did. He was busy with training camp and playing overseas, and I was busy spending time with my family and traveling. While laying in the bed, I took a selfie and sent it to him with a message.
