"Sorry about the inconvenience last night Savannah." Billy says while he takes a drink from the coffee.

"It's alright. You really don't have to be sorry Billy." I said to him.

He stared at his fingers. "I'm quite embarrassed by what happened last night."

"Anybody who gets drunk makes stupid mistakes and becomes not themselves. It's okay. Really."

I could see how embarrassed he is and I actually don't know how to make him okay right now.

"How's your bum?" I asked, so he won't feel a little ashamed of me.

"Killing me. It feels like my ass have been gunshot thousand times."

I smiled. "You need to put ice packs on that. I'm sure it'll be a very big purplish-bluish bruise."

"I know but it's okay. Nick said I'm an official brother now. And thank you so much for saving me. Nick told me you came and saved my sorry ass." He shied.

I smiled at him.

Nick already left early. Billy said he left when I was still asleep and he didn't want to wake me up cos there was no reason to. And I still have a problem with this book that needed to be returned to the library. I never tend to forget things and this is actually the first time I returned a book late. But on the bright side, Billy looks a little better now even though he still looks embarrassed for what happened last night, aside from his stinging with pain on his bum from all the hazing last night. I was glad that he just collapsed cos he was drunk and not from all the beating and he didn't get asthma attack. And, I'm glad he didn't throw up last night unlike Nick.

"I really owe Nick too." Billy blurted.

"Why?" I asked. Not really sure why he owes Nick. I mean for what?

He pulled his head up and smiled at me. "Right before he was about to haze me, he actually whispered something to my ear."

Right. I almost forgot about that. Nick did say something to him.

"He said he won't hit me hard unlike the other hazers doing on the other recruits but I still have to endure it." Billy said.

"He said that?" I asked, disbelief. I never thought he'd actually be that thoughtful to him. I thought he hated Billy. I imagined Nick to be the one hurting the recruits harder than the others cos well he's insensitive and he's the president.

He nods. "It was painful but it didn't hurt much. I swear. I think he did that because of you Savannah. I think he felt sorry for calling your lucky coin stupid. And he knows we're friends."

I bursted into laughter. "Me? Because of me? Billy please Nick is the most heartless guy I know."

"If he was really a heartless guy as you say he is, why did he guard you all night here when he knows you're inside a room with a drunk man? Why did he help me? Why did he tell me ahead of time that he won't hit me that much?"

I paused cos Billy has a point.

"Nick isn't heartless Savannah. People just say that against him cos it's what they see and it's what he shows them. But Nick is really nice deep down inside that tough exterior and hard as rock expression on him." Billy added.

"Why do say that?" I asked.

"Cos he is. I see it behind his cold eyes. And he even got your lucky coin from Baxter." He brought it up.

"How'd you know that? Wait, how did he get it from Baxter anyways?"

"I really don't know the details but that's all I heard from the other recruits yesterday. They said Nick was going to see Baxter before the frat party to get something that doesn't belong to him so I was thinking it was your coin."

I showed him the coin and he smiled.

"See?" He says while smiling.

I'm smiling. Why am I smiling?

"Well he said last night that he got it back from Baxter by Fracas." I said.

His eyes dilated. "Fracas?"

I nod.

"You mean he actually had a fistfight with Baxter for your coin?" He asked.

I was shocked momentarily. "Fracas means fistfight?"

"Yeah." Billy answers.
