I just turned onto Maguire Street when my phone started to sing “My Girl”. I knew it was Lacey calling me, So I stopped a few houses before Phi Theta Angelis to answer the call. A fast check of the time found that Lacey was calling me earlier than she usually did on Sunday afternoon.

“Hey Lacey, what’s up?” keeping my answer to a usual kind so she wouldn’t guess that I was so near.

“Andrew, could you come over?” I could hear in her voice that she either just quit crying or stopped long enough to talk to me.

“No problem, Lacey, I’ll be there in no time!” Thanks to the fact that I was only a couple of minutes away from Phi Theta Angelis to begin with, but I didn’t bother telling her that.

I went to say something else when the call disconnected. At first I thought that there was something wrong with my phone. But when the clock came up I knew that Lacey must have hung up. I got back on the bike and pedaled the remaining distance to Phi Theta Angelis. I went up to the fence separating the front from the background and leaned the bike against the wooden fence.

Going to the front door, I knocked and the door was answered by one of Lacey’s Sorority sisters. She recognized me so she let me in and I started to go to the second floor but was stopped by the frigid voice of the house Mother.

“Where do you think you’re going mister?”

“Uh, up to see my girlfriend Lacey Muller!”

“I don’t think so. You just go take a seat in the main room and I’ll have someone go and bring her down!”

I forgot where I was, “Jesus Christ, what do you think I’m going do, fuck her in her dorm room?”

Man, the look on her face almost made me laugh. “You vile young man! On second thought you can remove yourself from these premises immediately!”

Damn she looked so serious and I swear that she wrapped her right hand around something in her right apron pocket! She began tapping her right foot as if timing my presence in front of her.

Once more forgetting who she was, “Okay you stuck up bitch, I’ll leave!” Moving towards the door then looking back to her “If you can see yourself passing a message to Miss Muller, tell her Andrew came but was blocked by a frigid mother!”

I went through the door, going around the side to collect my bike, all the while thinking Damn, I can’t wait to hear what the guys do to block you from returning you bitch!
