chapter 2
Jasmine and Harry were soon finished with their food, and got back into her car and drove back to her apartment.
"Looks like a nice place." Harry said.
"It is, no crime or fights that I've seen. The people here are nice but old, the only one my age around here is my roommate, you'll meet her today in fact. It should be her day off today if I remember correct." She parked the car and got out.
Harry got out too. "Which one is yours?"
"I live in the top apartment, come on I'll introduce you to my roommate and let you borrow my bike and you can be on your way." They walked up the stairs and she unlocked the door and opened it. A yellow golden retriever was sitting on the couch. Still in her pajamas even, her right shoulder was bare, the shirt was a little big. "Hey Ginger!"
She looked over and smiled. "Oh hey girl!" She gave a sly smile to Harry. "Who's your friend? He's pretty cute."
Harry looked away, he wasn't good with girls usually. Jasmine was just a friend and even she took some getting used to.
"He's a little shy, don't take it personal, his name is Harry be the way."
Ginger winked at him. "Hey I don't bite! Hard."
Jasmine waved her off. "Oh please Ginger, control yourself, it's not like he's going to be here long anyway. He's just going to take my bike until he can afford a new one. Harry my bike is right there, be careful with it though. It isn't like that cheap bike you got at Walmart, it's from a legit high quality bike store."
Harry nodded. "I'll be sure to be careful with it." He gave her a hug of appreciation. "I do appreciate it."
"Hey, it's what friends do, but I'm serious, be careful with my bike it cost over eight hundred dollars."
"I will, don't worry, I'll see you later jasmine."
"Okay, see you tomorrow then Harry."
Ginger got up and ran over to him, with a smile. "Don't I get a hug too?"
"Um, I guess?"
Ginger pulled him into a tight hug and Harry pat her on the back a few times, she wasn't trying to be subtle with him at all.
"Bye Harry!"
"Bye." Harry took jasmines bike and walked out of their apartment. He let out a heavy breath of relief at leaving, Ginger made him uncomfortable. She was pretty, but too quick to rush into things, way to quick, she didn't even know him and already flirting with him. And he didn't like that.
He was careful with the bike going down the stairs, once down on the ground he got on the bike, he didn't like it. It was too small for him, and he made the bike sink down an over an inch. It was better than walking or mooching off Jasmine for rides in her car though. He shrugged it off and rode home. At least he wasn't not working today.
Harry smiled as he saw his little home from the end of the street. He rode as fast and as hard as he could and flew into the drive way. The bike had coaster brakes so the bike skidded a bit when he stopped it. He didn't complain though; it was better than the alternative. He got off the bike, panting, he needed some water and a nice shower to cool him off. He walked in the front door and put the bike next to the front and walked into the kitchen. He poured a glass of water for himself and chugged it down.
He wiped his mouth and went upstairs to his room to find his roommate Danny playing his three DS in his bed. "Danny what are you doing in my bed?" He hated it when he did this.
"Playing Pokémon."
Harry wagged his tail, it was okay if he was playing Pokémon though. He loved Pokémon since Danny introduced him to it, though he only watched Danny play it. He still loved the franchise and meant to play it someday himself. He sat down next to Danny and watched him play.
"Hey give me some space man!"
"Excuse me? You're in my bed, either get out of here or deal with it."
"Ugh! Fine, I'm too lazy to leave anyway."
"So how was college dude?"
"It sucked, my bike got stolen and I was late to school because my alarm died on me."
"Well did you at last fuck jasmine yet?"
"Don't use that word in my room please, and no. Me and Jasmine are just friends, nothing more. Besides, sex is something that belongs between a dog and his wife in my opinion."
Danny waved him off, multitasking while playing the game. "It doesn't matter man, I would fu- do Jasmine any day, she's freakin hot!"
"How long have you been playing that game today Danny?"
"Just started ten minutes ago, I got out of the shower from work not long ago."
Harry shrugged as he took his hoodie off and tossed it to the ground, then he hopped into his bed. Making Danny bounce into the air, he was too focused on his game to notice though.
Harry woke up to find it late into the night. He pulled on an undershirt and went downstairs to find that Danny ordered pizza. Harry's tail went wild, he loved pizza almost as much as Pokémon.
"Hey Harry, get over here and get some before I eat it all!"
He walked over and Danny gave him a slice. He swallowed it whole without so much as chewing.
Danny then pulled out an N64. "Harry, my friend, we are gonna to be going retro tonight!"
Harry ran into the kitchen to wash his hands, Danny followed, then they played video games all night.
Harry wakes up to his phone alarm, he yawned and gave a stretch before getting up and dressing himself. He then went down stairs and had some pizza and a cup of coffee to help him through the day. "Shouldn't have stayed up all night." He got his stuff and rode Jasmines bike to school. The trip wasn't as hectic as it was the day before, he was happy to get to school on time today. He locked up her bike and walked inside the school.
"Hey Harry! Jasmine greeted him as he walked in."
"Hey Jasmine."
"How was last night after you went home?"
"It got a lot better thanks to Danny."
"Good! So are you going to come to my meet this Friday?"
"I dunno, I have to work Friday but I'll see what I can do."
"You better be there Harry, otherwise you'll be getting an earful later."
He nodded as they walked into class.
