Feeling a huge thud to the back of her head, the tired brunette quickly flipped over to look at the boy who slept in the bed beside hers. "What the hell?" she yawned. "Can I help you?"

Aaron laughed, not noticing the widening of his roommate's eyes at the sight of his pecks before he slipped his shirt on. "Remember me? Your roommate?"

"Why did you throw a pillow at me?"

The older brunette gestured to the alarm clock on the small end table between their beds. "We have orientation in fifteen minutes," he chuckled. "Thought you might want to be there."

Eyes widening, Emily lifted herself up on her elbow and glanced at the clock. "Why didn't this go off?" she growled, grabbing the clock from off of the table.

"It did, and you shut it off when it rang."

Emily rolled her eyes, throwing the covers off of her body and getting up from her bed. "I did not."

The other college freshman laughed at the denial the younger brunette had. "You did. I swear on my own grave."

Emily watched, half hoping for the older boy to drop right then and there so she'd be proven right, but after a few minutes, she threw her hands up. "Whatever."

Watching as the rich girl wandered to the closet they were sharing, Aaron lifted his deodorant to finish getting ready. "So after all this, you wanna go get some breakfast?"

"Don't look," she chasted, knowing he was checking her out as she shed her pajama shorts to slip on a pair of jeans. "Yeah, that sounds good." Glancing over her shoulder, Emily have him an awkward smile. "Thanks."

Aaron bit down on the inside of his cheek at the sight of his roommate throwing her sleep shirt in the hamper before clipping her bra behind her back. "So," he coughed, smiling to the younger brunette as she turned back around. "What are you majoring in?"

The rich girl ran her fingers through her hair before throwing it up in a ponytail. "Double majoring in forensic sciences and criminology, then minoring in psychology. What about you?"

"Actually, the exact same," Aaron breathed, his eyes meeting those of the beautiful girl standing near their closet and smiling. "But I'm also minoring in theology."

Emily smiled, thanking the older boy as she walked out the door that Aaron had held open for her. "So your friends you went out with last night, how do you know them?"

The hazel eyed boy shrugged, squinting as the sun shined from beyond the trees just before them. "JJ is from my school back in Texas, and Derek grew up with me before he moved in his sophomore year. They're both in the pre med program."

"So is my friend Spencer," Emily smiled. "He's actually a genius, and he's switched his major maybe five times."

"Like an actual genius?"

The rich girl smirked, nodding to the older boy walking beside her. "Higher IQ than Einstein. He's only fifteen and he's a junior here."

"Now I feel like I have to work to be a little more impressive," Aaron laughed, sharing a smile with the beautiful brunette at his side as they walked into the auditorium, his hand brushing against the small of her back as they walked beside the rest of the freshmen crowding the halls.

Seeing all the seats beginning to fill up, Aaron took Emily by the hand and ushered her down toward the front. "There are a couple seats over here."

Surprised by his forwardness, the rich girl blushed, nodding band following quickly behind the older boy to find a seat.

"Hey man," a random freshman in the second row laughed, hitting the brunette boy on the shoulder to get his attention. "You hittin' that or can I get in on it?"

Aaron heard the gasp from his roommate and quickly pushed the hand off of him. "Back off."

Biting her lip, Emily turned to face the dean of the school, hearing Aaron at her side cursing out the other freshman as quietly as he could. And when she felt him lightly take her hand, she smiled.
