David had gotten accepted to Columbia. It was the biggest news on campus, that David Jacobs had gotten a full ride.
Suddenly, he was Mr. Popularity, and everyone at school wanted to talk to him. What David didn't anticipate was how the news seemed to attract every other girl for miles. And that day, during study hall...things had gone too far, and scared him to his core.
He went to Erin's house, because she expected him to, and he came in quietly.

Zippy grinned at him from the oven, where she was baking him a cake. "Hey College boy!" She immediately approached him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply.

He kissed her back, but his insides flipped uncomfortably. How could he tell her? What would she say? What would she do?

Zippy held him closer, tasting him in their kiss. She ran her hand through his hair, sighing happily. When she pulled away, she buried her face in his neck, kissing it. "I missed you." She held him tighter.

He felt sick, and gulped. "Erin, I--" he took a breath. "I missed you, too." She was so happy. They were finally happy. And now...this.

"How was school?" She asked him, so happy and so proud of him for getting into school It was a dream come true, they could easily afford to get married now...
She went back to the oven, beginning to put frosting on the cake.

"It was--everybody wanted to talk...'cause of Columbia." He had to pace himself, work up the courage to tell her.

She laughed. "You go to the private school though, dont you? Don't most student go off to college?" She stuck her finger in the frosting and licked it.

"Yeah, but...I got a full ride. And guys like me...from family's like mine...we don't get stuff like that." He watched her lick her finger, and he couldn't stop himself from wanting her. But then wanting her made him feel guilty for what happened.

She grinned at him. "David. Don't feel bad. You deserve it. WE deserve it. Life is going to be so much easier now that we don't have to worry about your tuition..." Erin was giddy just thinking about it. She was so happy, she couldn't stop smiling.
Finally things were back to normal.
She presented him with the cake. "Ta-da!" It was chocolate and said 'Congrats' on it with a heart.

He suddenly felt like he was going to through up, and his face went grey. "That--it's...amazing."

"Well it seems like frosting is a lot harder to manipulate than paint, so for an artist it isn't great, but I tried." She shrugged, grinning, and poured him a glass of milk and got him a plate and fork. "Sit. I'll cut you a slice."

He didn't sit. He had to tell her. "Erin, I--I need to talk to you."

"You can't talk to me over cake?" She asked, raising her brow. "Sweetie I know you are feeling guilty but you can't let it get to you!"

He shook his head. Oh, he was feeling guilty alright. "No, Erin. It's--something happened today."
