With the start of school just around the corner, the Back to School: Better Together Giveaway is underway. One of the blogs participating in this giveaway is Student Bloggers. To enter the giveaway on this blog, you must write a blog post describing your best back to school story. I have decided to participate in this giveaway, so that means that I have a story to tell you. I call this story, “The Tale of the Flirtatious Fowl”.
The first few days of my third year of college seemed just the same as my first two years of school. I had just moved in to a new apartment with five roommates I had never met before. My classes were going well, I was making friends, and things seemed to be going as I hoped they would. Then, one day I met a guy named Bret and my school year went from normal to extra special.
I liked Bret from the very beginning. My roommates hung out with his roommates and him a few different times. After a couple weeks, it became clear that there was an interest growing between the two of us. So, one day he invites me to go bowling with him and a couple of his roommates. I bring my friend along and we have a blast bowling. After bowling, we went to a local Malt Shoppe and Bret paid for my shake. I was incredibly excited as the evening transformed itself from a fun night with friends into a date with Bret. After the Malt Shoppe, we went to Bret’s apartment and watched a movie. The whole evening was a lot of fun.
After the movie, I return to my apartment in a wonderful mood. However, when I saw my roommates, the first question they asked me was, “Do you have your key to the apartment?” Confused, I answered “Of course I do”. However, when I checked my purse for my key, it was nowhere to be found. My roommates explained to me that they had pranked Bret’s apartment earlier in the week and that he and his roommates were now looking for revenge. I ran back to his apartment, but it was too late; he and his roommates had left.
My roommates and I stayed up late that night hoping to ward off any revenge ideas attempted by the boys. After a long while, though, we decided to go to sleep. Then, in the middle of the night, my roommate got up to use the restroom. A few seconds after she had left the room, I heard a scream coming from the hallway. We all got up and ran out to see what was going on. To our surprise, there was a goose sitting in our apartment! Luckily for us, the goose seemed to be quite calm considering it was surrounded by screaming girls. We were able to get it out of our apartment without much trouble.
The next day, we confronted Bret and his roommates. Bret admitted that he had stolen my key out of my purse while I went over to the jukebox at the Malt Shoppe. The nerve! Luckily for him, I got over the incident very quickly and went on to date and marry Bret. We still joke about that goose today!
