It was the summer of 1998...the summer between my junior and senior year of college. I have to admit I was pretty hot that summer (yea lifeguarding) with a fierce tan and long blond hair...sigh...those were the days...
But I was also in this weird trying to be good faze and I wouldn't sleep with the guy I was dating all summer.
Apparently that didn't matter to him or so I thought...
The summer went by in a drunken haze...lifeguarding during the day and going out with the group at night...multiple nights a week...or having people over at the apartment Leah and I shared.
Leah, Brooke, Lauren, me, Mike, Tonya, Jeremiah, Mandy, Gene, Tracy, Alex, and whatever other random folks were around us.
Mike, Gene, Tracy, and I met through work. Leah, Lauren, Brooke, and I were sorority sisters together. We met Jeremiah and Alex through Mike. Mike had met Tonya and Mandy (who was also a KD from KY) at Pleasure Island which was our place for the summer. Buy a season pass, drink before you go (thanks Lauren, our underage designated driver all summer), and party for free. You'd think going roughly 3 nights a week would be boring, but surprisingly it wasn't.
So, Alex was the one I was dating, Gene and Tracy were dating, and Mike and Tonya were dating. The beginning of the summer I went to NJ with my mom. While I was gone they had a birthday party for Alex.
I get home and partying resumes. Except now Mandy cries every time she sees Alex and I together. I question this, but Alex and everyone else convinces me that she is just crazy. Oh, how stupid I can be...
The summer progresses and Mandy remains a raging lunatic. Too the point that her mom comes down and goes out with us to Pleasure Island. Mandy wears this camouflage, spandex dress. She then introduces Brooke and Leah and maybe Lauren to her mom as her friends..keep in mind that despite hanging out in the same group for the entire summer and being sorority sisters she had never actually talked to any of us (neither had Tonya at this point because her and Mandy were BFF). But she doesn't introduce me. Then her mom makes a comment about at least we aren't dressed slutty like she is.
Then she introduces Alex to her mom as her boyfriend...while Alex and I are holding hands...and later making out on the dance floor while Mandy hooks up with another guy!
Then Leah and I have a party at our apartment. It was truly a drunken night to remember. At one point Leah and I went outside and unscrewed a light that shined into our apartment and moved it so that it shined onto the naval base across the street. In addition to our regular crew, Mike's random friend and Mandy's whore cousin were also in attendance.
So, when Mandy gets there (how nice am I that we keep inviting this crazy ass girl to hang out with us) and sees me sitting on Alex's lap while we play cards and runs out of the apartment crying. Alex feels that he should go talk to her and leaves after her. Hours go by. I go outside. Leah goes to bed (it's fairly late or early depending on how you want to look at it). Jeremiah comes out to tell me that Mike's random friend and Mandy's whore cousin are having sex in the living room on our couch. So, I ask Jeremiah to kindly ask them to leave (okay maybe it didn't come out exactly like that) and he does.
I go back inside (after the sexscapades are over) only to find another one of our sisters, Kelly G, asleep in my bed. In my drunken state I decide a 4am bath would be a grand idea so I take a bath and then am stuck sleeping on the sex couch.
Finally Alex comes back. Keep in mind hours have gone by. He tells me that Mandy was upset because they were talking at his birthday party and she thought they were going to date. He then tells me he had to help look for Mandy's whore cousin whom they found passed out next to the dumpster (a sign perhaps?).
Summer ends and Alex and I end as well (no break up, just kind of went back to our normal lives). Mandy goes back to KY, but Tonya stays.
I am at a party one night and Tracy comes up to me and says "You know Mandy's pregnant right?" And I say, "What! Whose the father?" And she says, "Alex." And I say, "Alex who?" And she says, "Alex so and so." OMG...THE ALEX I WAS DATING ALL SUMMER!!! She then tells me Mandy got pregnant at Alex's bday party and that is why she was a lunatic all summer! Are you f**king kidding me?
Then surprise of all surprises Tonya gets a job at the YMCA where we all work and she gets put on MY shift at the front desk and I have to train her! So, the first night we work together (now keep in mind we spent AN ENTIRE SUMMER TOGETHER WITHOUT EXCHANGING TWO WORDS) I say, "I have to ask you something. Is Mandy pregnant?" And she confirms it. She says she told Mike to tell me, but he didn't want to get involved (thanks asshole).
Mandy gets an abortion and Tonya and I ended up becoming really good friends. Of course we were all on a party bus for Mike's birthday and Alex said something about his girlfriend missing her period and someone said "Is this going to be another Mandy situation?" I was like I'm right here douche bags!
But all in all...it was the funnest summer I had all college! lol
