Just an FYI: Jason will not show up until chapter 4. Elziabeth has some things she needs to work out first. lol

Chapter 2

"Lizzie I can't believe you have a date for tonight." Robin squealed when Elizabeth told her about the guy who approached her in the park and how he had called her that night and made plans for them to meet up for dinner and movie on Friday night.

"First of all I told you about this Lizzie stuff. Don't make me regret telling you all of my secrets. And second of all what's there to get worked up about. We are just going to eat probably down at that taco stand and then to the movies. It's no big deal." Elizabeth said not understanding why Robin was getting so excited about all of this.

"Sorry Lizz- I mean Elizabeth, it's just that I've been trying to get Patrick to notice me all semester and he's hardly looked in my direction. You're just sitting in a park and a guy walks over to you and asks you out. I guess I'm a little jealous." Robin told her as she watched Elizabeth get ready for her date. "So here I am once again on another Friday night all alone."

"First aren't you the girl that has traveled all over the country and Europe, you telling me you can't catch a guy? And second what do you mean Friday night alone? If anything I'm the one who's here alone while you are out every weekend at some frat party." Elizabeth said while brushing her hair trying to get the unruly curls to calm down.

"It's kind of hard to pick up a guy when your parents are on your heels the whole time Elizabeth. And let me tell you those Italian men are so hot."

"I know you tell me that all the time. And if I recall correctly you even lost your virginity to one of those hot Italian boys so your parents weren't on your heel all the time."

"Franco. God he was so hot. American boys just can't compete. Speaking of virginity you going to sleep with Alex?"

"Robin, please I don't even know him. I went out with Lucky for a year and never had sex with him and you expect me to sleep with the first college boy that asks me out. I don't think so."

"Lucky was so high school. This is college Elizabeth. Boys are going to expect you to sleep with them. It's time to grow up." Robin said to her. Elizabeth didn't care for her condescending tone and took a quip at her.

"Right says the eighteen year old freshmen running after a senior hoping and praying he gives her the time of day, how's all that growing up working out for you?"

"Bitch." Robin sneered back at her.

Elizabeth felt bad she knew she hurt her roommates feelings. Robin acted so grown up and worldly all the time Elizabeth forgot that she was only 18 years old. She didn't know if it was because she was three years older than Robin or maybe she was just an old soul but she found the comments Robin made were immature. She didn't think three more years of living made someone all that mature but dealing with Robin for the past couple months had proven to Elizabeth that all though she may have done lots of things Elizabeth never have done like traveling the world over or having sex Robin Scorpio had a lot of growing up to do.

"Robin I'm sorry. That was mean and so not like me. How about tomorrow night we go out together, just me and you?"

"It's a date." Robin said getting up from her spot on her bed and going to hug Elizabeth. She grabbed the brush Elizabeth was holding and began to brush her hair for her. "But first let's fix this hair of yours. We don't want to scare Alex away." Robin said as they both broke out in laughter.

Alex arrived at 7 on the clock to pick Elizabeth up. She told Robin exactly where she was going for safety purposes. They were always careful with letting each other know just where they were going too when they went out with members of the opposite sex.

They went out to dinner where they had polite conversations. Elizabeth shared where she came from, what she was studying and what her plans were for the future. He told her how he was returning back to school after leaving the Navy. He was majoring in criminal justice and planned on either being a cop or working for the FBI. After dinner they saw a movie and then went back to Elizabeth's dorm room.

"Well you're back safely now. I had a good time Elizabeth. I hope we can do this again." Alex said standing in front of her door.

"I had a good time also. I'll call you some time she said reaching up and kissing him on the cheek. "Have a good night." She added putting her key in the door and opening it. She was hoping Robin was there but knew she probably went out to one of the local bars.

"Alright I'll be waiting for your call." He said waving bye to her and walking away. Elizabeth closed the door and sighed. She got into more comfortable clothes. Got some chocolate pudding out of their mini fridge and turned on the TV to watch some late-night shows. Just as she got settled in Robin came barreling into the room giggling with another girl Elizabeth has seen around the Science building a few times.

"Oh Elizabeth I had no idea that you would be here. I thought you would still be out with Alex."

"I just got back." She answered simply.

"Oh this is my friend Kelly, you've seen her around right?" she's Pre-med also.

"Great" Elizabeth mumbled. Was anyone around here not planning on becoming a doctor?

"So how was the date? Dish! We need details."

"It was alright we went to dinner, talked then saw a movie. He seems like a nice guy but there's just no spark you know what I mean." Elizabeth said digging her spoon into her pudding cup.

"What does it matter Elizabeth you weren't planning on having sex with him anyways." Robin said to a shocked Elizabeth.

"Well geez Robin why don't you send out a campus wide email stating how I don't put out. " Elizabeth answered her rolling her eyes.

"It's only Kelly she won't say anything to anyone."

"Yeah Elizabeth my lips are sealed. So you aren't into sex? Like at all?" Kelly said giggling.

"Not that it's any of your business but yes I am a virgin. Sue me. Excuse me if I don't feel like trading my hoohaa for beer." She said not really liking this Kelly girl. "If you all don't mind I'm tired and want to go to bed. Maybe you all can go hang out in someone else's room. She said as she dropped her pudding cup in the trash then got into bed and got under the covers pulling it over her head. She didn't know why she was in a bad mood, but she was. As she laid under her covers she could hear Kelly whispering to Robin as they walked out the door.

"She needs to get laid that will help her loosen up." Then she giggled.

"Leave her alone, I think she's just homesick and lonely. Hopefully this guy Alex can get her out of her funk." She heard Robin say as the door clicked close.

'Is that what it was' Elizabeth thought to herself. Could it be she was lonely. It was probably because she was a little lonely and was hoping that she and Alex would hit it off. He was nice enough but he didn't stir the feelings she thought should be stirred when you have met the one. It shouldn't be this hard she thought to herself. As she drifted off to sleep she thought about how it would feel to find her prince. She always felt that she would meet him in college they would get marry upon graduation and have lots of babies when they were settled in their careers. Here she was 21still a virgin and only had 1 boyfriend in her whole life. Tears pricked her eyes as she drifted off to sleep wondering if she's met her prince yet.
