    ... look," I said defensively. "I'd kill to be that thin," Sophie added kindly. Now all three of them were looking at me as if I wasn't self-conscious enough already with my new look. "Please," I snorted, looking at Sophie more closely. I shook my head at what I saw. "You're perfect. You don't have an ounce of extra weight on you and you're far curvier than me." She really was too. It reminded me of my earlier concerns about how the boys would flock to her. "We're going to have to set up some ground rules. A girl with your looks is going to have guys stopping by day and night, and I need to focus on my studies." "Amelia Jane!" my mother cried. I guess I should have waited until my parents were gone before bringing up the subject, but after looking at Sophie it just slipped out. It's not like I was wrong, but mom was just too old fashioned to understand. "And on that note," my father interjected. "It's time for us to go." I walked them out of the dorm and back to the car. Mom cried and even dad looked a little misty eyed. He had to almost push mom into the car to get her to leave and then he gave me a hug and a kiss on my forehead before moving to his side of the car.

You're beautiful and built like the boys like, so that means they will be hovering." "A girl who's not afraid to speak her mind," Sophie said slowly and then smiled, adding, "I'm going to like you. And by the way, if the guys are hovering, it won't only be because of me. You're beautiful too. In fact, you have the bluest eyes I've ever seen." "I'm not nearly as pretty as you are, but that's beside the point," I argued. "I really want to do well in school and I don't plan on letting anything, especially boys, distract me." "Me neither," she agreed. "Actually, you'll be happy to know I already have a boyfriend so guys shouldn't be an issue." "That's great," I said, finally smiling. A boyfriend at home was perfect. Maybe having Sophie for a roommate wouldn't be as bad as I feared. "Of course, you might change your mind about dating," she continued. "So you're right, we should come up with some ground rules." It didn't take long for us to agree on what they would be. It was pretty much common sense. No visitors after ten on weeknights and no sleep overs on the weekend without prior approval. That last part was in case Alex, Sophie's boyfriend decided to visit. We went to the student union after that to get something to eat. We barely settled at a table before two guys sat at the table next to us and tried to strike up a conversation. Sophie and I exchanged a ...
