They walked in sync with a comfortable silence for about fifteen minutes back to campus. Once they got back the girls went up to their dorm before going to the orientation. Both of them step into the room and stand there just looking around.
"You don't need anything here?" Paige looked to Spencer expectantly. She shakes her head and grins. "I'm guessing you don't either?"
The girl snickers. "We came here for no reason then. Well I really don't want to get there early so I suppose we could just sit here." Paige goes and lays down on the bed after fumbling with the stereo she had put on her nightstand to put on music. "Any recommendations?"
Spencer looks back from her desk that she was rearranging to pass the time. "As long as it's not Justin Bieber, I'm fine with anything else."
"Oh come on, that's all I have." She chuckles and puts the alternative genre on shuffle.
Spencer's ear perks up when she hears the familiar song coming softly through the stereo. "Imagine Dragons?"
Paige instantly impressed that the girl recognized one of the bands less popular tunes. "You listen to them?"
Spencer finishes fixing her desk and slips into the chair then turns to face her roommate. They still had about a half hour until they had to leave so she figured she would make herself comfortable as well. "Of course. They're amazing. What's your favorite song off their album?"
"I really like Demons and Radioactive even though they're sort of played out. But My Fault and Nothing Left to Say are awesome too. Yours?"
"Same. What other bands do you like?" She reached under her desk to take out a soda from the fridge and threw one up to Paige. Which the girl easily caught in mid air while dangling off the bed.
"The Fray has always been one of my favorites. Maroon 5's newest album is one of my addictions. I like some hip hop and more laid back shit, too." Spencer quirked her eyebrow.
"Really? Like what." Paige scrolled through her playlists, found the one she was looking for then pressed play. She laughed when she saw Spencer's face contort into a cross between shock and disgust when hearing Started from the Bottom.
"You're kidding me." "Well sort of, it came with the album. There are some really good songs on it, trust me. You like Eminem?" "Only when I'm mad." This made her laugh again and shake her head.
"We should probably go." She climbed down the latter after dropping the soda down to Spencer and went to leave.
"That was probably the worst orientation I've ever sat through." Spencer rushed to leave the room she had been cooped up in for the last two hours, thankful it was finally over. They had played about six different games after getting back from the half hour long tour and each one of the activities were painfully annoying and completely foolish. She wasn't some sort of socially awkward person, she didn't need to be taught how to make friends. Well, maybe she did need some help, but she didn't think that was helpful at all.
Paige chuckled and struggled to keep up with the fast paced girl. "Hey, slow down. They're not going to call you back to talk to your admirer anymore." Spencer looked back and glared at Paige briefly before continuing her fast walk back to her room.
"Don't get mad at me, that's what you get for busting my balls about that girl from the pizza shop. He did seem pretty cute though, what was his name? Andrew?" The girl in front of her just shakes her head and keeps walking so she jogs to catch up to her.
"I heard you say you're a double major?" Spencer looks over at the girl and smiles confidently. "Indeed I am. Bioengineering and Environmental Engineering. You're a minor in Philosophy, correct?" The girl nods while Spencer continues. "I sort of wish I didn't apply for those specific ones right now, just because I'm not certain they're what I want but I knew I wanted to be a double major and I'd be stupid to go a year without one and then cram all that work into three years. I'm ambitious, but not unrealistic. You have any idea what you want as a major? English, maybe?" Spencer asks as she starts up the stairs.
"The minor in philosophy is more for myself than anything else. I just always loved it I guess. I don't really know what I want right now, seeing as I have so many options but I'm pretty sure it won't have anything to do with philosophy. Probably more towards science and math. I honestly had a hard time just coming to that conclusion. I'm just interested in everything and I'm afraid that I'll pick the wrong major just because I like it at that moment. Complicated, I know." Paige opens the door and lets the girl walk in first before following and shutting it behind her.
"You'll figure it out eventually, I heard its really normal to have an undecided major for the first year. Just take classes you think you'll like and that should help you choose. Do you have to go to the bathroom? I've had to pee for hours." She does a little dance before Paige answers.
"No, it's all yours." The girl laughs and sits in the chair to take her shoes off. Spencer comes out of the bathroom. "Why are you taking off your shoes?" Paige looks up and stops what she's doing. "Am I not supposed to?"
"No, you're not. We're going to get food. I'm starving." Spencer quipped before picking her clutch back up and walking to the door.
"Only the first day and I'm already getting bossed around. Maybe you should have paid attention to that orientation." She tied the shoe she still had on back up and put on the one she had taken off then followed. "Do you even know where you're going?"
"No. That's what you're here for." Spencer smiled at Paige when she scoffed and shook her head.
"What do you want?" "Take me anywhere." Paige raised her eyebrows at her and started walking towards the nearest Chinese place.
Once they had gotten their orders the two were too hungry to even entertain a conversation. Spencer was insanely grateful to have gotten a roommate that had already known her way around the city and not to mention was actually really easy to be around.
"There's this party going on tonight to start off the year, maybe you'd wanna go with me?" Paige asked as she finished up the chow mien on her plate.
"Freshman get invited to those?" "Not usually. You know how I said my grandma lives close by?" Spencer nodded while she took a sip of her drink. "Well I'm good friends with the girl who lives next door from her and she's a senior here this year."
The waitress came and took their plates and set down the check.
"Umm. I guess I could go. You just might have to carry me back to the dorm." Paige chuckled and went to throw down her card but Spencer quickly covered the holder. "I'll only go if you let me pay." "But.." She began to say before she was cut off. "No buts. You paid for the pizza, I'm paying for this." Spence gave Paige a stern look. She sighed and nodded before wiggling out of her chair after the girl across put down the money and got out of her seat.
"What time does it start?" The lighter eyed girl said as they started walking back to campus.
"10:30. We have time to get ready. I just have to shower." Paige says and they fall into another comfortable silence. She thought it was sort of weird that she was so relaxed around a girl she had just met. She appreciated that their conversations never seemed to be any unnecessary bullshit. Paige has never been one for meaningless small talk or really any talk for that matter. There was just something different about Spencer that made her not have to worry about saying the right thing.
"By the time we get there the party will be over." Paige hollered to Spencer who had been getting ready ever since Paige had gotten out of the shower, which was now an hour ago.
"I'm almost ready." Spencer just wanted to make sure she looked good. Not like she was trying too hard, but also not like she wasn't trying at all. She envies Paige who took all of twenty minutes to get completely ready and looks outrageously sexy.
With nothing else to do, Paige went over to the full length mirror just to check that she doesn't look like a scrub. She has her hair down with a trace of eyeliner and dark olive colored skinny jeans, black combat boots, a skin tight brown shirt, and a fitted black leather jacket on.
"How bad is this?" Paige turned to check out Spencer.
"No one will be able to even see you because of the light and as the night goes on they'll just be too drunk to care." Spencer gives Paige a pleading look. "Please tell me you didn't just say that."
She noticed how badly she worded that and went to quickly recover. "But if they could see you and they did care, they'd probably all drop dead." She winks and grabs the girls clutch for her with one hand and the girls with the other to drag her out of the room before she could protest.
"What's your poison?" Paige leans into Spencer's ear to make sure the girl can hear. Spencer does the same to reply. "I'll have whatever you're having." Paige smiles at her before elbowing through the crowd to get to the drink table. She fixes both of them a drink and goes back to where she left Spencer.
"Here. If you don't like it I can get you something else." The girl grabs the solo cup out of her hand then takes a sip and scrunches her nose. Paige watches and laughs as she sees the girls expression. Spencer lets the taste linger and then decides to take another sip. This one isn't as bad, it's actually pretty good.
"What is this?" She looks to Paige. "Honey whiskey. I'm surprised they have it here. The only problem I have with it is I end up drinking it like water." The girl drinks from her cup and searches the room before setting eyes on who she was looking for. She grabs Spencer's hand and maneuvers them through the people.
"Samara Cook" Paige says as she comes up behind the girl. She turns around and Spencer watches her eyes light up when she sees Paige.
"Oh my god. I'm so glad you came." She pulls Paige into a bone crushing hug and notices Spencer standing somewhat awkwardly next to them. "Who is this gorgeous woman you have with you?" Samara lets Paige free and motions towards the girl. "This is my roommate, Spencer." She wiggles her eyebrows and Spencer chuckles. "Roommate, huh? Wow, Paige you must have some luck. You guys staying a while? I got you your favorite, did you see it?"
"Of course I did. I figured you're the one who got it. I believe we're staying." Paige looks to Spencer who smiles and nods.
"Well in that case, let's have some fun. Follow me." Samara sets down her cup on the nearest table and grabs both girls hand to drag them along.
Spencer, Paige, and Samara had played party games for a couple hours and were currently playing a very drunk game of truth or dare. All three of them had past their fair share of alcohol.
"Your turn, Noel." Samara slurs out. "You, truth or dare?" The dark hair and brown eyed guy smirked from across the room and he gestured towards Spencer.
"Dare." Spence smiles cockily. Normally Spencer would have chosen truth knowing that the pig was probably going to dare her to kiss him, but the drinks had long since erased her better judgement.
"Bold girl. I like. I dare you to give McCullers a hickey." He winks towards Paige and keeps that obnoxious grin that seems to forever be plastered on his face.
"Come on, Khan. Go easy on her." Samara said before she saw Spencer lean over and attack Paige's neck.
The girl barely had time to react before she felt her new roommate suck aggressively on her pulse point and she just about muffled a moan. Seconds later Spencer let her sensitive skin go and inspected the mark to make sure it met her expectations. After she was satisfied, she sat back into her previous cross legged position while leaning back on her arms.
The guys all clapped and whistled as Paige sat frozen and red faced. "Spencer, I think you broke Paige." Samara chuckles and waves a hand in front of the girl.
Paige gets up and goes over to the drinks to pour herself the last of the vodka then chugs it all before sitting back down in the circle.
"You okay?" Samara leans over to whisper to Paige. "I will be in a minute." She smiles to the blonde then looks over to Spencer who's talking to Maya, a junior who her brother dated for a little while. "Paige. I was just telling your friend how I could hook her up."
Maya always had a ridiculous amount of pot on her whenever she came to one of these parties. Paige never really smoked, only at parties like this but she wasn't sure it would be a good idea if she did tonight with Spencer around. She tended to get a little hornier with the combination and didn't want her new roommate to experience THAT Paige too soon.
"Yea. Come on Pai, let's go outside really quick." Spencer grabbed Paige's hand to help her up and looked over to Samara. "We'll be right back." "Are you sure you want to? I mean I'll go with you but I don't think I'll be smoking."
The three make their way onto the deck in the back of the house. Maya slips a joint out of her jacket pocket along with a lighter and lights it.
"You're smoking too, don't be a party pooper." Spence looks to Paige with glazed eyes.
"Nah, I don't think so. I get weird when I smoke and drink." Maya snorts as she takes a couple hits and passes it to Spencer.
"If by "weird" you mean "horny", then yes. Remember when Maya, Avery, and I got you high for the first time?" Samara says while shutting the sliding door behind her. "You damn near pinned me to the bed after Maya thought it was a good idea to push me into you and we ended up kissing."
Paige laughed and nodded before she felt the joint being shoved onto her lips. She looked over to see Spencer raising her eyebrows expecting her to take a hit. "Your turn." Paige shrugs and hits a couple times then passes to Samara.
"You'll regret that, Spencer. You're the one sleeping in the room with her." Maya jokes once she takes the joint from Samara.
The highly intoxicated Spencer smiles and glances at Paige. "I don't mind."
"You're gay?" Maya looks incredulously at the girl.
She shakes her head but keeps smiling. "I didn't think so. I'm in college now though, isn't this the time to experiment?" Paige coughs; partially from the insanely long hit she just took, mainly from the words she couldn't have possibly just heard. She hears Samara laugh as she pats the choking girl on the back.
"You're damn right about that. If there's one person to experiment with, it'd be Paige. Just ask Sammy." Maya says at the same time she puts out the roach and slips in back into her pocket.
Spencer sees Paige's eyes widen before the girl rushes to open the door for everyone to walk through.
"You want to go back to our dorm?." Spencer says to Paige before they sit down.
The chocolate eyed girl looks over to her and smiles, the high setting in. "Sure."
How they had even managed to make it back to the dorm was beyond either of them. Though Spencer had lost balance and ended up taking Paige down with her because she tried to stop her from face planting into the pavement. Both of them were thoroughly drunk and high which didn't really make unlocking the door too easy. They had taken turns fumbling with the lock for the past ten minutes.
"Hah!" Paige takes the key out, turns the knob just enough to unlatch it then kicks the door open triumphantly. "Stupid ass door."
Spencer walks into the room without turning the lights on. Paige follows absentmindedly and soon she's feeling an obstacle blocking her. Before she knows what's going on, she's on top of Spencer and they're both on the floor.
"Shit. I'm sorry." She laughs and goes to get up when she feels a tug on her shirt holding her in place.
"Do you really want to get up." The husky voice sends a shiver down the girl's spine.
"Only if you want me to." Paige feels herself being pulled further down until their bodies are flush and she can feel the girl below her's breath on her own lips.
"I don't." Spencer closes the distance between them and feels Paige groan into her mouth.
Their tongues dance together while Spencer rips Paige's jacket off. The athletic girl somehow manages to pick the other up and pin her against the wall whilst Spencer wraps her legs around her.
Paige breaks the kiss to start pressing open mouthed kisses along her neck and down to her collarbone. She moves her head to allow the girl better access and she can feel her heart beat faster with every kiss. Soon she's getting thrown up onto her roommates bed and loving the feeling of the girl on top of her.
"You know we don't have to do anything you don't want to." Paige says sincerely.
"There's nothing I won't do with you tonight."
Tell me if you want me to jump the McHastings sex scene or you want me to write it. I figured I'd make it up to you guys. Either way it's happening and there's a reason why. I have everything I want to happen filed into my brain and I promise it will all make sense later. I do have ideas on Paige's background since it's pretty much completely different from her in the show though her personality definitely won't be. By the way if you haven't already noticed, I plan on making this a pretty long fic. Anyway, thanks for all the support. If you guys end up wanting the scene, I'll most likely just make that one short chapter and it'll be up within a few days.
