Author's Note: My first DUFF fanfic! Hope you like it! Constructive criticisms are welcome!

Hi! My name is Bianca Piper. I'm a smart-mouth, cynical and independent young woman who is ready to take on the next challenges that are coming her way. Wait, what? Who am I kidding? I'm scared shitless.

First day of college was tomorrow and I couldn't help but feel anxious. I knew it would be different from my experience in Hamilton High. I was the DUFF back then as my adorable boyfriend pointed out so well. He was a douchebag, I had confidence issues. However, as senior year ended, things changed between Wesley and me. We admitted our feelings for each other and we've been public ever since. Needless to say, people were a bit weird about us. Everyone knew Wesley was a womanizer and they knew me as Jessica and Casey's friend, the average friend who basically stood out in a bad way, the DUFF way. I always felt like I was the lesser being between my best friends but since the whole Wesley thing happened, it has changed. Now, the word DUFF was just something we casually call each other without any bitter felling swelling up in me or my friends. We were all DUFFs in some way.

I secretly hoped that with college starting tomorrow, life would be a little easier since I have left the High School world where drama was constant. I was leaving behind the Bianca Piper everyone in Hamilton High knew. It was an added bonus that I was going to New York University with my boyfriend. As cheesy as it may sound, yes, Wesley decided that he would go to the school I was going to. Granted his grades were a bit of a problem but it all worked out okay. He is on probation though but I'm sure I'll be able to help him get out of it. Ever since he became a one woman man, and I'd like to pat myself in the back for that because who really knew that Wesley, thee Wesley Rush who doesn't chase girls, changed for me, he has been more focused with his school work and became closer to his family. I was even shocked when he invited me to have lunch with his family. Still, in the back of my mind, knowing that college was upon us, I can't help but wonder what if he went back to his old ways? After all, college was a new place with a lot of temptations and there were certainly a new pool of girls for Wesley to go gaga over. Even though I had my worries about us, Wesley never failed to reassure me that I was his one and only.

"This is me!" Jessica said cheerfully as we stopped by her dorm room, "56 D, and my roommate isn't here yet. Hmmm. Well, that's okay! Can't wait for college!" Wesley and I glared at each other; Jessica was too excited for our current mood. We were definitely not as cheery as she was. I followed her in and placed the box I carried filled with her stuffed toys on her bed and Wesley followed suit. "Thank you soooooo much again, Wesley and Bianca! I couldn't have done it without your help, I just had too much to bring, too many memories I want to bring with me!"

"No problem, Jess," Wesley said, he smiled at her but not the kind of smile he gives me, it was a friendly smile.

"Are you two sure you can't transfer here? I mean, I know Casey is in New York too but come on; New Jersey is where it's at! Rutgers University would be happy to have you two!"

"Sorry Jess but my heart is set for New York University," I said as I gave her a tight hug.

"Same for me. Where her heart goes, I go!" Wesley chimed.

"Ah! You two are adorable! Group hug!" Wesley started backing up as Jessica was approaching us with her arms wide open and I looked at him with pleading eyes begging him that just this once, let Jessica have her moment. This was the last time before we see each other again, we were going to be busy with college soon and I don't know when I could visit her again, "I love you both! Take care of each other!" Wesley just stood and let Jessica smother us in her embrace. "If Bianca wasn't my best friend, I would have went for you, Wesley! But I knew deep down you two would end up together."

If she only knew that the reason why Wesley befriended me before was in order to get in Jessica's pants. I felt him tense up after what Jessica said so I gripped his hand squeezed it lightly. It was my way of assuring him that it didn't bother me, not anymore, because I was his and he was mine.

I woke up early in the morning smiling. My head rested on Wesley's bare chest and I was listening to his heartbeat, we were tangled in the covers and remembering what happened before this made my smile even bigger. It was slow and sensual, not like before where I used him for careless flings where I ached to escape. It was like that time after Wesley punched my dad after I cried in front of him and told him that I was a whore. Now, it was like being home, being where I belong, we fit perfectly together even in this moment with our limbs tangled and sheets all over us. Suddenly, I realized that the doubts I had before were gone. Wesley was one of the few people who really understood me and really saw through me. He knew things even my best friends didn't know and right then and there I knew everything would be okay.

"Open the door, B! I got breakfast!" Casey said as she pounded on my door. I was jolted from my sweet thoughts realizing that Wesley was right next to me, naked, both of us were naked. "B! Get your ass up! It's bad to be late for school! I promised your Dad I'd help you get through college now up!" I quickly putting on my underwear and shirt then nudged Wesley to wake up. I threw his boxers, shirt and pants at him. "B! What is taking so long?! Wesley better not be there!" Shit. I looked at Wesley who was still rubbing his eyes and chuckling at what Casey said. "B! Open this door or so help me god you're going to have to move to another dorm room because I will seriously demolish this door!"

"Haha! She's too small to get through that door," Wesley said as he pulled me back in bed with him, he slid his hand under my shirt and I grabbed it before he could make me squirm "come back to bed, I'll help you relax before your first class," he said as he caressed my face with his free hand.

"As tempting as that sounds, you do realize that you've yet to be on Casey's good graces, remember? You have to be a good boy around her and right now you're not. You're keeping me in bed and I have class in about," I looked at my desk with the digital clock that read 8:15am, "CRAP! In forty-five minutes! Wesley, get up!"

"Forty-five minutes is enough for some Wesley and Bianca time," he crushed his lips with mine and I was almost falling into his spell again but Casey was relentless with her banging.

"I have to shower, eat breakfast and figure out which room I should be in!"

"Wesley! Get off my best friend or I will kick you in the balls so hard you won't be able to do what you did last night with Bianca for a loooooong time!"

"She really hates me." Wesley wore his boxers and pulled a book out from my nightstand pretending to read as Casey entered.

"Put some shirt on, Rush! And I don't hate you. I don't like you as much as Jessica does, that's all and if you keep corrupting Bianca, we're going to have a problem," she placed three plastic containers with sandwiches in them on my desk then gave me a smile and hug. Even though Casey slightly disliked Wesley, she cared for him too and I love her for that.

"Who says I'm corrupting Bianca? Ever think that she's the one corrupting me?"

"Do you want me to replay the adventures of your penis in Hamilton High?" Casey raised an eyebrow; she was definitely winning this argument.

"That sounds like a comic book. The Notorious Adventures of Wesley's Penis in Hamilton High!"

We looked at each other for a moment in dead silence not knowing how to react. It was awkward, definitely, but with Casey in the room it made it even more awkward. She knew what Wesley was like and she knew how Wesley made me cry, that was one of the reasons why she was a bit hostile to Wesley. All of a sudden, Casey was in a fit of laughter which made me and Wesley do the same. Casey had one of those infectious laughs that you just couldn't help but join in.

"So, how is Columbia, Blithe?" Wesley reached for his sandwich and smiled at Casey.

"Well, school doesn't start yet. I have three days free so I might just roam around. I decided I would visit B…and you if it happened that you were in her dorm which I expected you would be. I was hoping you weren't so that I could talk to be about girl stuff."

"Ooooh! I can kick Wesley out if you want!" I suggested, I missed being able to talk to Casey alone. I really had some things I want to open up to her, about my doubts before. I knew there weren't there anymore it would just be nice to have someone to open it up to.

"You have class in thirty minutes, B. Maybe for lunch? I'm just going to be here in NYU today since I have to visit another friend too."

"Okay, I have to go now, I have to shower and get all set for my first day too," Wesley said as he pulled his pants up, his shirt still on my bed.

"You know," I said as I handed him is shirt, "it really isn't fair that my class starts at 9 and yours at 10:30am. You get take your time having a shower while I have to rush."

"You could skip your first class and shower with me," he whispered in my ear, his hot breath making me all tingly. The things he does to me are insane. "Let's go," he put his shirt on and I almost regret handing it to him.

"EHEM! Third party in the room not too crazy hearing about your gushy, sexual innuendoes and what not," Casey interrupted.

"Haha! Goodbye, Casey. Thanks for the sandwich," he gave Casey as hug before coming to me, "see you tonight, Bianca," he kissed my cheek and I was sure they were red as a tomato, "I love you," he whispered before heading out.

I quickly rushed to the bathroom, thankful that our room has its very own, but left the door ajar so I could hear Casey talk while I took a shower. First day of college and I was already screwing it up. I cannot be late. I promised myself that I would be a better student and leave all my mishaps in high school. Unfortunately, I wasn't doing a bang up job right now. Thankfully Casey was there to help me out and I decided that I should be there for her on her first day too. I just need to figure out how. Maybe I can ask Wesley for help.

Casey was by my side as I neared the door of the classroom for my first class. She gave me a tight hug and wished me luck. She probably saw how nervous I was and fidgety on our way and her hug definitely eased my discomfort. She was my rock in some ways, there to anchor me and keep me sane. I waved her good bye as she turned the corner to go visit her friend.

This was it. Bianca Piper, the DUFF in college. Let's do this.
