Warning: Baggage Included

The next day, I was rushing out the door to get to class when I nearly trampled Jodi. She was standing in the hallway, bent over backwards struggling to carry a mini fridge. Beside her was some godawful pink rolling suitcase, zippered halfway with clothes and stuffed animals bulging out.

“Oh Jordan!” she smiled. “Be a dear and hold the door for me?”

I balked. “Um. Jodi? What are you doing?”

“Didn’t Tom tell you?” She pushed past me and set the fridge down in the living room. My living room. “I’m moving in!”

I glanced at my watch. Crap. “No, Jodi.”

“No?”

“Just… no.” I was still backing toward the door. “Look, I don’t have time to talk about this. I can’t afford another tardy. But when I get back, I’d better not see any of your crap around here. I mean it!”

She opened the bag and started removing prissy girly things I couldn’t even identify. I crossed my arms. “I’m serious, Jodi.”

She looked up. “Jordan?”

“What?”

“Your eye looks better.” And she wrapped her arms around me and kissed me on the cheek.

    Another classic event! The idea of her moving in to the guy’s dorm room is just classic. I love her overbearing way of unloading her stuff even after he tells her not to. If you have inspiration go for it Ana C. I’ll go after you. Brilliance = prissy girl things I couldn’t even identity.

    Nice job on both characters and setting up an impossible battle for the poor guy that he doesn’t even have the time to fight right now.
