Throughout the course of the night and the following day, Alexis's phone hadn't stopped going off. One of the times that Kameron had called, Kate had answered and had threatened to arrest Kameron on harassment charges after filing a restraining order on Alexis's behalf. Rick had talked to Alexis's landlord to see what the options were for Alexis when it came to getting her out of the apartment she had with Kameron. After her friends had learned what had happened with Kameron, Alexis's friends who had been rooming together on campus had offered to let her room with them since they had an available room in their dorm.
A number of weeks after Alexis had caught Kameron in his threesome affair, she had severed all ties with him and moved on which included moving into her friends' dorm. That first night of living with Ryder, Aspen and Rowan brought about a girls' night in. All four girls hung out in the common room of the dorm that first night to watch movies and binge on a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
"So how are you doing?" Aspen asked.
"I'm managing."
"How did Kameron take the whole break-up?" Ryder asked.
"I don't know, kind of don't care anyway. He caused this when he chose to have sex with Peyton and Marley." Alexis answered.
"When do you think you're going to jump back into the dating pool? There's a really cute guy in my engineering class." Rowan said.
"Really Rowan, Lex just broke up with Kameron and you're asking her when she's going to start dating again."
"It's okay."
"So do you want to meet this guy?" Rowan asked.
"What's his name, Ro?" Alexis answered.
The others were shocked that Alexis was going to meet another guy and start a new relationship this soon when she just recently ended things with Kameron.
"His name is Phoenix Matthews. Want to meet him for a cup of coffee or something?"
Rowan held her phone up with Phoenix's number ready to show Alexis.
"Yeah sure."
With that Rowan gave Alexis the phone number.
Hi, Phoenix; my name is Alexis Castle. My friend Rowan gave me your number. She thought we would hit it off.
There a long pause after Alexis had sent the text to Phoenix so she switched her attention to the movie she was watching with her friends and set her phone next to her.
Hello Alexis, I'd like to get to know you. Rowan has told me a lot about you. Would you like to meet for coffee?
Yeah let's meet.
How does tomorrow morning sound? Say 10am.
Sounds great. See you then.
After plans with Phoenix had been made, Alexis told her friends and they continued to watch the movie they had put in.
