Today was the first day of college. Every child's dream to grow up finally and move away from home. Also a time for partying and meeting new guys. I have never been the one who had a boyfriend. I've had one or two flings. Neither lasted any longer than a few weeks. I was never one to settle down. I was a wild flower and nothing could hold me back. I guess I should explain who I am. My name is Kaylee. I am a freshmen student in college. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I am as stubborn as anything and can give you a run for your money in any argument. I am going to Kent State University and am going to study psychology. Luckily, I am attending college and rooming with my long time best friend Jen. She is undecided but will most likely pursue a career in English or something with writing.
It's our first weekend here and we plan on scoping out the potential dating material here. Luckily, we went on a shopping spree before coming to college and have many outfits suitable for the parties. Around ten, it's time to finally execute the plan.
"Ready to go?" Jen asked impatiently waiting by the door. She had on a red halter top and a short black leather mini skirt with black heels. She dressed to make the boys drop at her feet tonight.
"Yeah, give me a minute to put on this stupid eye liner though." I said. I was never one to dress up for anything. I hated having to get dressed up. I was much more comfortable with sweat pants and a tee shirt on, no makeup. Sadly though, tonight I was forced to dress up. I wore a navy blue tube top and a jean mini skirt. Somehow I was forced into heels. I can barely walk as it is. Heels do not help. I have been doing good so far though.
"Well hurry up. I want first dibs and if all these other bitches are out there getting it on and I'm not, I am going to be pissed." Jen said. She was never one to get along with other girls very well. Which I believe is why we got along so well together. Neither of us cared for girls and had more guy friends than anything.
Finally, I finished with the makeup and we were out the door. Walking down the street though, we noticed that MANY of the other girls had the exact same idea as us. It was sad though to see the majority of them completely drunk and it was only ten. Obviously this was the goal of some of the older guys on campus so they could get what they wanted easily. We finally found the house of one of our good friends cousins. He greeted the door eagerly.
"Hey guys! What's crackin'? Come in, have a beer or two." Our friend Jeff said. Jeff had gone to high school with me and was completely gay. He never admitted it, but it was the sort of thing everyone knew. Maybe this would be the year he finally would come out of the closet. So we went into the house and grabbed ourselves some beers.
Later that night, everyone was buzzed. I had probably danced with around five or six guys, and Jen was over on the couch making out with some pale guy with copper hair. I decided I needed a break from all the dancing and sat on the couch next to Jeff.
"Hey girl! How's your first college partayyyyyyy going?" He asked. He obviously had a few too many to drink because his words were slurring.
"Eh, it's alright. Expected more hot guys to be here but oh well. We still have time for that." I said.
"There is something I need to tell you. I don't like vagina. I am gay." He said with all seriousness.
I just smiled at him. "I knew you were gay from the first time I met you four years ago. It's okay. I still love you." I said.
He gave me a big hug, while I was facing the opposite direction though, I first noticed him. He was tall, with long black hair, and piercing blue eyes. He caught me looking and gave me a killer smile. Jeff finally let go out of his bear hug and when I looked back, Mr. Handsome was gone. I tried not to show my disappointment and was wondering if the alcohol was just making me hallucinate a ridiculously good looking guy in this whole of barely cute guys. He made all of these guys in the room look like computer nerds. Before I had any chance though to let the disappointment flow through me, he was suddenly by my side.
"Care to dance?" He asked. Jeff just looked at him and I think he may have been drooling a little bit. I was too stunned to speak so I just nodded my head yes. He carefully grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dance floor. We danced the majority of the night away, never really talking, although I felt his lips on my neck a few times during the night. Around 4am, Jen finally came up to me and pulled me away from the mysterious stranger.
"Ready to go? I am tired and my feet are killing me!" She said.
"Yeah no problem, just let me say bye first." I answered. I looked around for the handsome stranger and found him over by the beer keg.
"Hey me and my roommate are leaving. So I just thought I would say goodbye." I said and casually turned around to walk back to Jen, when I felt a hand around my arm.
"How about I walk you and your friend back? It is late and I don't want you two beautiful women to get hurt walking back to the dorms." He said.
"If you want too. There's really no need. We both took karate as kids and kickboxing for the past 2 years." I said, although I secretly hoped that he would still want too.
"It would be my honor." He said smiling beautifully. He followed me back to where Jen was waiting for me. When she saw him, her eyes grew huge and she then cast a look at me asking with her mind 'who is this?'.
"Hey, he offered to walk us back to the dorms so we get back safely. That okay with you?" I asked.
"Of course it's okay with me! How thoughtful of you willing to walk us back." She said flirtatiously.
The walk back to the dorms was silent for the most part. Everyone was tired. I was glad that he did want to walk us back. It was dark out and I barely recognized the campus like this. I for sure would have gotten us lost. Especially since we have both been drinking. We finally arrived at our dorm building. Jen walked in first, saying something about being too tired and having to get up for class in the morning. I waited until she was safely in the elevator that I finally turned back to him. He was standing outside and I was in the door frame.
"Thank you for walking us back. I probably would have gotten lost." I said.
"Oh, it was no problem. Let me assure you. I enjoyed spending the extra time with you anyways." He said and gave a heart breaking smile.
"Well I guess I should make sure she got to bed alright." I said not wanting him to leave.
"Ok, goodnight then. Till next time." He said, giving me a small kiss on the cheek, then turning and walking away.
"Wait!" I yelled after he walked a few feet away. "I forgot to introduce myself, I am Kaylee. What's your name?" I cannot believe I forgot to ask that. It never occurred to me before that I didn't know.
"Damon." He said simply and walked away.
