I am walking around campus heading to my dorm room after a long day of classes. I hear my name and turn to see Ross coming my way. I stop and he runs up to me. "How are you?" I smile and start walking again, "Good, you?" He shrugs, "Not bad." I nod and yawn, "Are you tired?" I nod and look at him, "Long day." He nods, "I slept through most of my classes so I am wide awake." I laugh and shake my head, "Good way to graduate doing that." He shrugs and I see my dorm, "Well, I have to go. Good seeing you again." I turn and open the door to my dorm and walk to my room. I open the door and walk in and flop down on my bed. I let out a yawn before pulling my throw up over me and snuggling into my pillow to get a nap.

Ross and I have been running into each other here and there for weeks. He keeps trying to get me to hang out with him but I keep blowing him off. He just seems like a jerk.

I hear the door open and look up to see Rebecca come in. "Hey." I smile and she flops down on her bed and turns and stares at me, "You want a nap too?" I nod and she smiles, "I can set a timer and we can just go to sleep." I smile and nod and watch her grab her phone and set a clock to make sure we get up in enough time to go get dinner but still get a nap in.

I relax into my bed and feel myself get comfy and warm and for some reason the last thought that drifts through my mind as I fall asleep is Ross.

I walk into the lounge and look around. It is pretty much empty where we took a nap first. I walk to the line for food and Rebecca hooks her arm with mine. We get food and she is doing something to her pizza when I walk ahead of her and feel a hand pull my arm, pulling me to them. I look at see Ross smiling at me, "Come join us." I look over and see her friends or how I found out lately from others, his family. I shake my head when Rebecca joins me, "I don't think…" I watch his first fall and then Rebecca elbows me before smiling, "We would love to." He smiles wide and grabs my arm pulling me towards them while I glare at Rebecca who just smiles at me. I sit down in a chair and Rebecca sits on the couch next to the girls. Ross smiles, "So let me introduce everyone." He starts pointing as he says their names, "Riker." "Ryland." "Rydel." "Ratliff." "Rocky." "And lastly, Raylee." I smile and point at myself, "Laura and that is my roommate Rebecca." Everyone smiles and starts to talk to each other. Rebecca, Rydel and Raylee take to each other right away." I just eat silently.

I feel someone touch my arm and I look up to see Riker smiling at me, "Are you okay?" I nod, "Yeah." He looks at me before nodding and looking around. "So what do you like to do for fun?" I shrug, "Watch movies and television, read and listen to music." He looks at me, "Have you heard that new song by umm… oh it is everywhere." I laugh and look at him, "I probably have." He nods, "It is amazing. I just love it." I smile and watch everyone else talk while I connect with Riker. "So what grade are you in?" Riker smiles, "I am a Junior, you?" I shrug, "Freshman." He nods, "I had so much fun when I was a freshman, being on my own and just having a blast." I smile, "See I don't exactly know what to even do. I just get up for class and study basically." He laughs and shakes his head, "Wow. We have to change that. You have to come out one night and have fun." I smile, "That would be fun." He smiles at me before I hear Rocky say his name and pull his attention away.

I feel so much better about being here now. Riker is really sweet and kind. Ryland is a doll baby and him and Raylee are adorable together. Rydel is fun and amazing I can tell her and Ratliff are working on becoming an item. Rocky is funny and really nice. Ratliff is weird but funny and makes you laugh. Raylee is just very sweet and nice to be around. Ross seems like he could be nice but I just still get the jerk feeling from him and that makes me uncomfortable but also intrigues me. I look at the time and smile, "Sorry guys but I have to go." I hear groans and a few, 'no's. I smile and shrug, "Class starts early tomorrow." A few pout but then wave telling me bye. I exchanged my number with all of them.

I throw my empty containers away and start walking to the door when I feel a hand touch my wrist. I turn and see Ross staring at me, "Can I walk with you?" I shrug and he moves up to my side as we start walking to the door. He smiles and holds the door open. I open and walk through a different one and watch his face drop. He walks with me in silence for a few minutes. "Did you like my family?" I nod and smile, "They are amazing. I had so much fun." He smiles and looks at me as we near the building, "We are going out tomorrow after school if you want to come with us?" I look at him and think about it. Do I really want to go out with him? Well he did say his family too. I see him sigh, "It's not a date, if that is what you are thinking." I shake my head feeling relieved, "No, I was thinking if I had a test to study for or not. I don't, I would love to hang out with them again." He smiles and we walk the last few minutes to our building. I smile and start walking my way when we get in. "See you tomorrow." He went to say something but closed his mouth and nodded before walking away. I swore I hear him say, "Fuck." As he walked away but I shrugged it off and walked to my room looking in my closet and finding the perfect outfit for tomorrow night.

I lay down in my bed and set my alarm for class. I turn the light off and turn on my side falling asleep thinking about how perfect that outfit in my closet will be tomorrow.

I had a little bit of a problem with this story and it put it off for a while. I got it all fixed now and have to say the last names Lynch and Marano are not allowed in the story and so the last names are completely different for this story. The first names are the same but the last names are different.
