Just a college girl discovering herself...
Chris appeared really happy and then mentions that the Carnival is going to be the weekend after the fraternity party. He said he had a few coupons for cheaper tickets if you, Trisha, or any other friends were interested.
You jumped at the chance and said you would definitely like to have those coupons.
Chris dug them out and gave it to you. He said he would be volunteering at a food booth there if you do attend the Carnival.
You told him you would definitely drop by to see him.
He smiled and then left.

You went immediately tell John.
Knocking on John’s door, you were curious how he would react to you accepting to be Chris’ dance date.
John answered in his usual t-shirt and jeans.
He seemed happy to see you, and your heart melted when he gave you his usually bear hug that left your breathless.
You quickly told him of what just happened. How Chris just asked if you could be his date for the fraternity dance, and that you decided to accept.
John looked deep in thought and just shrugged. He said it is your choice and he has no right to stop you.
You asked him how he felt about it.
In which, you caught a glimmer of hurt in his eyes... so you asked again, “are you really okay with this?”
“Sure,” he said as he crossed his arms and sat on his bed.
You also mentioned the carnival coupons and that you would buy them soon.
John seemed to acknowledge this and then gave you another one of his tight hugs, holding you a little tighter than usual.
You wondered if he was truly okay with this, but didn’t ask further.

Before you went to sleep, you texted Chris that you would join him as his date for the fraternity dance.
Still being a little concerned about John’s reaction, you figure you would check on John the following evening.
