Ororo Monroe freshman at Xavier University, a small private college in upstate New York. She sighs to herself in her dorm room hunched over her history book making notes for her open book test next week. She looks up from her book and sighs again, she's lonely. Growing up in a military family where they were moving a lot made sure her nuclear family was close even though they argued a lot she had to admit she missed them. She glances at the picture of her family on her desk and traces the frame. She jumps a little bit hearing the door open up and seeing Marie walk in. She wasn't expecting her back so soon especially since Remy was done pleading Delta Chi. They had met literally the first day of freshman welcome week and were an official couple before the first home football game. Marie tosses her backpack down and falls on the bed exhaling dramatically.
"What's up with you? I thought you'd be climbing mount Remy by now." Ororo says closing her book, bored with it for the night.
"I did that, the pledges just became full members so he was extra excited, they're having ah big party for Em tonight an ya comin wit me. So pull on some jeans and put on one of ya shirts with a band on it and pull on ya boots and were outta here. Ro it's Friday night." Marie said getting up looking in Oruro's closet.
"I really have to study...and just downloaded some new tabs I need to learn on the bass. I just don't wanna go be around frat boys who are looking to collect panties." Ororo says trying to dissuade her friend .
"Ro, me an Remy promised someone that you'd be there...I think y'all will like each other...you need a date with someone that ain't dead shuga." Marie said pointing at her history book.
"So you and Remy think I'm that desperate that you have to pimp me to people." Ororo says looking disinterested.
"No you both could use a date and he's a nice guy Remy says. He says he needs a woman to calm his nerves." Marie says tossing clothes at her.
"So you want me to be his body pillow?" Ororo asks sounding more disinterested.
"Naw just come meet the man. no one said ya had ta marry the man." Marie ushered her into the bathroom to shower and change.
Ororo came out looking like she was about to walk her last mile. They grabbed their purses and locked their door and joined the mass exodus to Greek row to celebrate all the new frat and sorority members.
When they arrived at delta chi the party was in full swing. Music pumped through the speakers so loud that the windows vibrated. People were dancing and drinking and just as Ororo suspected guys in khaki shorts and backwards polo hats. Remy sneaks up behind them and picks up Marie and spins her. He kisses her and greets Ororo with a hug.
"Hey chers...ya come ta party non?" he says with a big smile, "Ororo this is Bobby...I told him all about you...me and Marie gone go dance non, y'all talk." Remy says leading her to the dance floor.
"Sup girl...ya like delta chi guys?" Bobby says chewing gum leaning on the wall looking her up and down.
"If they're all like you no" she says walking away. Bobby huffs but is soon infatuated with another girl. Ororo finds a spot on the stairs that isn't so crowded. She looks around the party and sees everyone having a good time; she looks towards the DJ booth feeling eyes on her and sees a guy looking at her with a red solo cup in his hand. His eyebrow goes up as does hers. She looks him up and down, he's not that tall is the first thing she notices but she that doesn't change her mind, since she stands 6'2 not a lot of guys look down to her. He has on dark wash jeans that have rips around the boots and a few in the knee he cut the sleeves off of his new shirt showing off strong arms. Marie walks over to check on her.
"No Bobby huh?" she asks her friend.
"Hell no Bobby...but who is that?" She asks Marie Remy walks over catching the last part.
"Dat be James, go by Logan ... He's the Lone Ranger." Remy says scratching his head. "Don't know too much bout him...but he's an intense guy."
Ororo nods her head. Peter comes over and hugs Ororo. They take music appreciation together and always talk in class. She looks over Logan's direction and she sees him staring hard, as if he's trying to figure out her and Peters relationship. Peter says goodbye when he sees Kitty walk in, Ororo knows about his crush on her.
Remy and Marie go back to dancing and Ororo plays on her phone. She sees Logan walking over to her and she feels her face flush.
"Hey...your name...what is it?" Logan says sounding gruff and sexy. His accent is thick and she can't really tell what he is saying and the indifferent look on his face made her think he was being rude.
"Excuse me?" she says softly as she was trying to place his accent
"Name...you have name?" his nervousness making his accent thicker and voice more gruff. Before she could answer Lucas Bishop the star defensive end walked up and grabbed her hand.
"Out the way pledge!" he says pulling Ororo to her feet and leading her to the dance floor.
"I don't really dance." she says to Bishop.
"Course you do, all girls dance with Bishop." he says pulling her close. Logan felt his temper rise and his hands got a familiar itch. He stood by the stairs watching bishop pretty much molest his girl and he got pissed. He started to stalk towards bishop when Remy stopped him.
"Logan homme what be the matter? It's our coming out ,be happy." Remy seeing Logan had bad intentions.
"No, I'm not a pledge anymore...he don't touch her!" Logan says pushing past him. Remy nervously scratches his head at the thought of what Logan is going to do.
"Eh bishop" Logan yells. Bishop looks at him smugly. Ororo takes his distraction as a moment to slip out of his grip.
"What midg-" before he got the worlds out Logan had kicked him in the knee and people around heard it pop, as he was falling his face was met by Logan's fist and he was out cold. everyone was quiet processing what they just saw. Logan grabbed Oruro's hand and ushered her outside with him.
"Ah sorry ya seen dat darlin...but I didn't like how he was on ya and don't think ya liked it either." he said hoping he hadn't scared her
"I didn't like that thank you...and my name is Ororo" she said nervously smiling
