be there to convince her they belonged together.  Even though they went to separate colleges, they managed to stay close.  Whenever spring break came they always did something together, and at Christmas break he always picked her up.  He had gotten into Harvard, and she had gone to The University of Virginia.  Now they have graduated, and Justin was going to stay here to go to law school.  Jasmine was going to graduate school, but she hadn ’ t decided where she was going.  She was accepted at both Wharton and Harvard.  Justin hoped that she would pick Harvard, so they could be together.  Yea he was being selfish, but he knew in his heart that this was their time.
    “ Hey did you hear me?  When is Jasmine coming? ”
    “ Yea I heard you, and for your information she is not my girlfriend. ”
    “ Yea, but you wish that she was. ”
    More than you will ever know.  More than you will ever know.  “ She will be here day after tomorrow. ”
    “ When does she graduate? ”
    “ She hasn ’ t told me, but more than likely next week.  She will stay here, and then in a few days we will head to Virginia. ”
    “ Then you are going to tell her that you are crazy in love with her. ”
    “ Well if she chooses Harvard I am going to ask her to move in.  That is if you don ’ t mind? ”
    “ Hey man I don ’ t mind.  I like Jasmine just don ’ t have sex on the couch.  Even if she does choose Harvard, what makes you think she will want to move in here.  You know that she has no idea how you feel, and even if she does agree she is going to ask about sleeping arrangements. ”
    “ Well if I have to persuade her I can wait.  I will just sleep on the couch. ”
    “ Hey it ’ s your life.  If you want to torture yourself over this girl, be my guess.
    “ Well maybe it won't take that long to convince her.  You still going to spend time with your family right. ”
    “ Yea man you will have the place to yourself for the whole summer.  I am going to spend time on the beach and be a bum surfing. ”
    “ Wish I could join you. ”
    “ You have enough on your hand trying to convince Jasmine to be your woman.  Besides maybe you too can come and join me after you win her over.
    Justin smiled at Colin.  “ You never know. ”
