Ambitions

Round 12: Spring 2017

Liv Harris is 19.
(Niall and Erin are 22.)

Narrated by Liv Harris.

Mom and dad gracefully allowed me to rent a house on campus. Dad was very reluctant at first but honestly, there really weren't any real rules at the dorm so it's not like I couldn't get myself in trouble there as well. Everyone else moved out so I didn't wanna live alone with the weirdos.

They came to check up on me the other day. I made lunch and we sat by the table and talked about assignments and term papers and whatnots. Finn was being his usual goofy self and talked about sumo wrestling. I love that kid!

I just wish mom and dad weren't all over each other all the time. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that everything's going well for them but I could live without seeing them dancing together or cuddling or whatever.

I could tell Finn was really embarrassed but then again he's at that age when everything your parents do is embarrassing.

Dad gave me this really tight hug when they left. I know he's worried about me, especially now that we heard about Janie Greene's pregnancy. Dad seems to be sure that I'm gonna be next. Hardly.

I've been hanging out with Erin a lot lately. She gets out of the house more now that Iona spends more time with Greg. It's about time that weasel starts taking some responsibility.

We usually have a nice meal at Betty's Diner. It's not exactly a gourmet place but the food is good and cheap. It's also the only diner on campus so all the cute guys come there which is a big plus for me.

Erin's not really looking at cute guys. She's really happy with Toby. I couldn't believe my ears when she told me that they haven't had sex yet. They've been dating for over a year now! But considering how much crap she went through with Greg it makes sense not to rush into things.

I have to admit that even though I notice all the cute guys I don't feel like acting on it nowadays. I went a bit overboard on my freshman year but now I'm just very happy with Niall. We don't see each other very often but that just makes it more special when we are together.

I can't seem to keep my hands off of him.

I'm not even close to considering a bigger commitment but right now it just feels good to be with Niall. It might not last or we might end up being together always but I don't want to worry about that. I just take life one day at a time and enjoy the ride.

Notes:

• Title from "Ambitions" by Donkeyboy
• Liv is really not ready for a commitment, her commitment score in ACR is -40! But she's only 19 so she shouldn't rush into getting engaged or married anyway.
• I'm planning to bulldoze the dorms and build new ones so I moved Liv into her own house. I wanna make some changes in the university and also main hood but Deacon will have to come up with a good budget first.
