On Their Own
Rhianna and Mallory have been best friends ever since they were little kids. They were alike in almost every way. They lived in the same building and had the same birthday, March 12. They went to the same high school, always took the same classes and joined the same extracurriculars. In school they were both were very smart and liked to read in the little time they spent apart from each other. They loved sports very much, they were in three of them volleyball, basketball, and soccer. The only other extracurricular that even interested them was choir.
One of the only things that were different about them was their looks. Mallory was average height at 5'8" tall with blonde hair and dark blue eyes. She had an athletic looking body, as did Rhianna, and her skin was fair with lots of freckles. Rhianna on the other hand was tall at about 6'1" with dark brown hair that was almost black and dark chocolate brown eyes. She had awful sight and had to get glasses at a very young age, but now usually always wore her contacts. She had naturally tan skin that looked so magnificent with the shade of her hair.
They had always felt they had a special bond. They felt like they had the closest friendship in the world, like they were more than just friends, in a way they felt they were almost sisters. And now they were going off to college together just like they had always planned.
"Well we made it we finally made it, college is going to be so great," exclaimed Mallory.
"Yeah I know, I can't believe we are finally here," Rhianna said as she started to unpack her stuff. "College life is going to be so much better than high school life, I mean just think of it, staying out as late as we want, doing whatever we want, all the parties we can go to, and not to mention the volleyball team, which we both easily got scholarships for."
"I'm actually surprised we got full scholarships to one of the best schools for volleyball though, I knew we were good, but I had no idea we were good enough for this team."
All through high school volleyball had been their passion, they loved it more than anything else. They had played ever since they were little but when they joined the team their freshman year it became their life. They spent almost every spare minute they had practicing together, and when the season was over they played basketball and soccer so they would always be in shape for volleyball. A special key to the gym was given to them by their coach so they could play as often as they wanted. And all of their hard work had earned them full scholarships to one of the best schools in the country, University of Miami.
Later after they had both gotten unpacked they headed out to go look around the campus a little more. It was a beautiful campus with blue skies, trees of all kinds, green grass, and happy people all around. They walked until they had blisters on their feet and finally started to head back to their dorm where they could watch their favorite TV show, Friends, before getting ready for their first volleyball practice. But along the way something caught their eye, the most beautiful guy either of them had ever laid their eyes on. "Wow he is gorgeous," Rhianna gasped.
"You said it, he is so hot. I think he might possibly be an angel come down to live on earth," Mallory replied blushing slightly.
As he started to walk by he caught them staring, flashed a huge smile and said "Morning ladies," with a very smooth voice.
That's all he had to say for them to just melt. They watched as he walked away and just stared until he was completely out of sight, then headed back to their dorm gushing about him the whole way.
Once they got there they realized they must have been out longer than they thought and saw that volleyball practice started in just an hour. They hurriedly got ready and left.
They were the first ones there, they weren't surprised though, it was a habit of theirs to leave very early so they could be the first ones to get there and have the gym all to themselves. They started to warm up while the rest of the team arrived. Once everyone was there and ready to go the coach announced Rhianna and Mallory to the rest of the team. The rest of the team each introduced themselves also, and when everyone was properly introduced practice started. Mallory and Rhianna were excellent. And by the end of practice every single person on the team knew they had just gained one very excellent outside hitter, Rhianna, and one very excellent setter, Mallory.
Their practice had been four hours long with three hours conditioning, and only one hour of actual volleyball. Sleepily they headed back to their dorm to go right to bed. But on the way back they spotted the same guy from before; he was sitting on a bench reading a book. Only a moment had passed when Rhianna said "I'm going to go talk to him." She stalked right over there, sat next to him and started talking.
Mallory could only watch her with jealous eyes, because in all the ways they were the same this was one big difference they had always had. Rhianna was always able to say whatever she wanted to anyone and not care what anyone thought of her. Mallory had always been shyer and could never make the first move to go talk to anyone, it was her curse. And while watching Rhianna she made a mental note to herself that no matter what she had to do she was going to change the way she was and become more like Rhianna.
Walking up to this incredibly cute guy was one of the scariest things Rhianna had ever done. Usually she felt so confident in herself, but for some reason this guy got her blood rushing and her heart pumping. She finally made it there sat down next to him smiled her pearly whites and nervously said "Hi my name is Rhianna, what's yours?"
"Hi my name is Michael," he replied and smiled back.
She let out a huge sigh of relief when she saw him smile back and saw that he had giver her a strange look, she quickly covered it up by saying, "I saw you earlier today and noticed that you are the most handsome man I have ever seen in my life."
He laughed at that and said, "I noticed you today too. You were walking with another girl, a blonde girl. Is she anywhere around, I'd like to meet her too."
"Oh yah she was just with me, I'll call her over" She turned around to call her over and noticed that Mallory was nowhere in sight. "She must have went back to our dorm, but I can introduce you to her some other time."
"Ok," he said.
"Yah but the real reason I came over here was because I was wondering if you would like to go out with me sometime."
"Well I don't know," he said with a sly smile. "I'm not sure I would like a girl who is so forward. Do you think I would like a girl like that?"
"I think you would definitely like a girl like that. I think that is the kind of girl who intrigues you. So what do you say will you go out with me or not?"
"Well……I think if you can find something for us to do say….. Saturday, I'll agree."
"Definitely not a problem," Rhianna said as she started to get up. "I will pick you up at 4:00 on Saturday. Where is your dorm so I know where to find you?"
"I am in the Fulton Hall. I'll be waiting for you in the lounge."
"Ok I'll see you then," she said confidently and headed back to her dorm so she could spill the news to Mal.
