Eric POV

I could hear cheering in one section of the dorms, as music blared, people wrestled with one another, and some were even throwing small fire crackers outside their windows. In another section I saw Edward and Peter surfing on their chairs in the hallways. I had to smile to myself as I rounded the corner and headed into my room. Thank God I'm here at last.

As I scanned the room, I noticed that mom did hold up her end of the deal. Aidan and I got to get one of the big dorm rooms. That was mostly the perk of being a senior, getting a dorm with a couch, TV, microwave, and fridge. But this one came with extra bonuses. I dropped the smile I had, knowing that eventually I would have to hold up my end of the deal as well. As I looked at the bed on the left, I noticed Aidan's bags were already there, but he was not. I placed my things down on the other bed and went outside to see if Aidan had joined Edward and Peter.

He was out there alright, but he wasn't really paying attention to them. He was scrolling through his phone and looking worried. Just before I reached them, I got knocked down.

"Dude, Eric, I think that's the first time I saw a wide receiver get the best of you," screamed Four as helped me get up.

"Trust me, that won't happen again," I said as punched him in the arm. We started a small wrestling match until Uriah, Will, and Zeke broke it up. I don't know why, but I guess it's because our parents hate each other, that Four and I just end up trying to best each other at something.

After we all said our greetings, we joined Peter and Edward and ended up playing in the hallways. Soon, it was like the whole football team was up there. After a quick game, Aidan looked down at his phone again still looking worried.

"Aidan, what's buggin' you," asked Peter.

"My sister," he answered. "She still hasn't called or texted back yet to let me know where she is," he said sounding even more depressed.

"What do you mean, shouldn't she be at her school," asked Uriah.

"My parents are sending her here this year." We all got quiet. Aidan never talked about his sister much, although he talked to her a whole lot. We all knew this since we were room-mates with him at least once throughout the previous three years. Whenever we would ask about her, he always changed the subject. I guess he can't get around it now. Zeke must have picked up on my thoughts because he threw a smirk and raised his eyebrows at me. I put on a wicked grin and threw my arm around Aidan.

"Guess you can't hide her from us now," I teased. Zeke and I did a fist pump and everyone started laughing. Aidan looked up and glared at us.

"No one and I mean NO ONE is going to mess with my sister, understood?"

We all gave little "alright", "whatever", and "sure" to appease him.

"Speaking about girls," Will spoke up. "I got to go and find mine. I didn't realize I missed her call." Immediately everyone started throwing whip sounds at Will. We couldn't really understand how his relationship lasted as long as it did. I mean our group did know about lengthy relationships, after all Zeke and Shauna were dating since freshman year, Peter was with Lauren since like sophomore year, and Four was with Tris since last year, but something was definitely different with how Will and Christina were. Maybe it's because I never had a relationship. I don't even know if what I did was called dating. I remember Four calling me a heart-breaker, Edward calling me a man-whore, and Aidan said I had "commitment issues" last year. But hey, girls were just way too fun to have only one. Then I remember that that was another part of the deal I made with my mom.

"She must really want to speak with you, because she called my phone too," said Aidan.

We walked over with Will to see his girlfriend and explain to her that he was just playing football in the hallways with us. We all knew Christina could be overly dramatic, but seriously why did she have to panic and call Aidan's phone too? Christina, I thought to myself. She hated me with a passion after I pushed her into the deep end of the pool, freshman year during PE. How was I supposed to know she couldn't swim? What made it worst was that I laughed at her trying to gasp for air and failing her arms around. Will forgave me, knowing that I was just a pranking her. Will, Edward, I grew up with each other, so I guess that's why I bonded with their friends as well. But Will's girlfriend, I wasn't so sure.

The floor Christina was on was rather quiet, especially for the girl's section of the dorms. Then I realized that was because we sort of stopped traffic walking there. Almost every girl went quiet to see whose room we were going to. Uriah and Edward winked at a couple girls, who immediately started giggling. I would never understand why they giggle.

Will stopped in front of Christina's door and knocked. No response. After ten seconds he knocked again and almost immediately the door started to crack open. I slid next to Will, thinking Christina was not going to be happy to see me.

But there in the doorway stood a girl with black wavy hair, a slight tan on her skin, and just enough of a natural blush that fit her cheeks just perfectly. Behind those innocent brown eyes, I could see a little naughtiness play inside them as her lips turned into a smile. It was like our whole group stopped at that moment to take in the beautiful girl that stood before us. Her eyes stared into mine and it seemed like my heart stopped beating. I know that sounds stupid, but I think it did. She moved her gaze to Will.

"You must be Will," her voice spoke.
