It had only been three days since Ronnie met Laini but it seemed like
years. Every night he would wait for his roommates to fall asleep and then
sneak upstairs. He and Laini would talk till the break of dawn. Petey began
getting suspicious. During the last couple of nights he would look to his
right and they bed across the room would be empty. Ronnie used the same
excuse every morning (that he got sick in the middle of the night) but
during the day he seemed fine. Petey was starting to worry about his
friend.
On the fourth night Petey decided to find out what exactly was going on. When it was time for the lights to be out, he rolled onto his side and faced the wall so that Ronnie would think he was asleep. He waited until he heard the familiar squeak of the door until he moved. He swiftly got out of bed and watched as Ronnie climbed the stairs to the girl's dorm rooms. He followed at a safe distance, putting at least five minutes in between him and his friend. When he turned into the upstairs hallway he found Ronnie sitting across from a warm brunet playing her in a game of cards.
"What the.?"
Laini spun her head around and Ronnie shot up from his place on the floor.
"Oh man, uh Petey, ummmm..." he stuttered as he ran his hand through his golden locks, "it's, uh, well."
"Whoa, just stop for a minute." Petey said, interrupting his friend, "Now, who the hell is this?"
"Ok, this is Laini, well for now at least," he began, "and she's lost, kinda. Well I guess it's like, umm."
"Hi," Laini got up figuring she'd have better luck than her stammering friend at explaining her situation, "I can't remember anything before arriving here and I would really like it if you wouldn't tell anyone about this seeing as how they'd probably kick me out and all."
Petey stood in a daze, looking back and forth between the girl standing in front of him and the boy behind her, both with desperate looks on their faces.
After what seemed like an eternity he finally spoke.
"The guys are gunna want to know there's a chick walking around the place."
The two let out a laugh of relief and Petey went on to further introduce himself to Laini.

That night instead of staying upstairs in the girl's dorms, Ronnie led Laini down to his room where Petey had rounded up some of the guys to meet her.
"Are you sure this is such a good idea?"
"What's the worst that could happen?"
"One of them could squeal and I'll be outa here faster than you can throw that football."
"Well then you'll just have to wait for camp to be over and come live with me." Ronnie gave her a warm smile.
Ronnie pushed the door open and slowly entered the room with Laini close behind, holding his hand.
The players all let out a silent gasp as they looked around at each other in confusion.
"Guys, I'd like to introduce you all to Laini."
Soft murmurs filled the room as Laini hung her head; her cheeks flushed a vibrant shade of pink.
"What's this all about? I mean, what's a girl doing here?" Gerry was the first to break the awkward buzz as he rose from the bed.
"Look, she just kinda showed up. She's actually been here longer than we have and this is all she knows. She can't remember anything about her past and as of now has no future. Petey and I just thought it would be best that you guys knew she was here."
"Oh, and there is not a word of this to the coaches, got it?" added Petey.
Sheepish nods came from all the boys as they locked their eyes on Laini.
"Well don't be a rude host Ronnie, introduce me!" Laini needed to say something to stop the gawking eyes of the football players.
"Right, well this is Rev, Lastic, Alan, Gerry, Julius, Ray, Blue."
Her eyes wondered over the boys as each one was named and gave them a gentle smile. Still not completely at ease with the whole situation she held close to Ronnie's arm but her eyes softened as the boys smiled and gave her little waves. The names stopped registering in her mind as Ronnie's voice droned on but she had watched enough of their practices to know a few of their names.
".and of course you know Petey."
There was still doubt in her mind that this was a good idea but somehow she felt as if a huge weight had been taken off her shoulders. Although she knew this could mean more people to blow her cover, she also knew this meant more people who she could trust and that lightened her spirits.
************************************************************************
The next day Laini found herself wandering the halls of the college, like she usually did while the Titans were at practice, but this time she felt as if she had a purpose. She felt like she was looking for something in particular but couldn't figure out what that could be. She strolled in and out of the mess hall and dorm rooms thinking maybe she dropped something on her last visit that would give her away but the rooms were always free of femininity.
All of a sudden she felt lightheaded and decided to get back up to her dorm so she could lie down. As she headed towards the stairs she was overcome with dizziness and ran into the closest dorm room possible. She fell down on the bed and passed out...
