Destiny 1?
"Greg Sanders, open this door right now!" A female voice shouted through the door. The knocking had been going on for the past 15 minutes, and he still hadn't moved from the bed. He knew that if he opened the door, she would be standing there with a smug expression on her face, and he didn't want to hear repeats of "I told you so" every other minute. He heard the knocking stop, and he sighed in relief. He couldn't handle the harrasment right now, considering she was right in the first place.
Greg got up and silently stepped toward the door, and creaked it open. He smiled when he realized the coast was clear, and opened it all the way. The next thing he knew, he was being pushed back into his dorm room by a pair of strong female arms.
Noelle Baxter, in all of her 5'4 glory, stood in front of him. Her arms were folded across her chest and she wore a smug expression across her pretty face. She was still wearing her sweats, so she must have heard the news from Evan and came straight over. He reminded himself never to tell his roomate anything, considering that Evan was dating Noelle who was Greg's best friend too.
"So, is there anything you want to tell me?" She asked, a small smirk on her face
"Concerning?" He didn't feel like getting right to the point
"Last night with Katie?" She said, not holding back her smile
"Fine. You were right. I should have listened to you and not gone out with her. It was a good month though, I don't regret it"
"You don't regret getting punched in the face by her star quarterback boyfriend?" She asked, pointing to his face
"Ah. Well yes I do regret that, but I got to say. That girl had some fine DNA" He said, laughing
"You are a sick, sick guy, Greg Sanders" She said, laughing
"Yea, but thats why you love me"
"Shut up. Anyway, I need you to come with me to the airport. My friend Sara Sidle is coming to visit, and I need a ride"
"Isn't that why you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes, and he would but he has class. Luckily, you're awake and available. So lets go!" She said, practically dragging him out the door.

"So why is your friend coming in the middle term, did she get dropped from her classes?" Greg asked, while waiting for Sara.
"Unlike some people, my friends make smart decisions. Sara attends Harvard, and she's on christmas break, so she's flying down to spend christmas with me. She doesn't have family around, and I don't want her to be alone on christmas. She's one of my oldest friends and we've known each other forever" Noelle explained.
"Hmm.. is she single?"
"Greg, are you sure you're ready for another realtionship? Considering what happened last night?"
"I'm living out the college life, Elle, and I'm loving it"
"Greg..." Noelle started, but was interuppted by a voice announcing that Sara's flight had just arrived.
Before Greg could get a glance at Sara, he saw Noelle leap from her chair. He heard the two of them let out loud shrieks, and screams at the sight of each other. It felt like he stood there forever, waiting for them to stop hugging each other and get a move on.
Finally, Noelle turned around to introduce him to Sara.
"Sara Sidle, this is my friend and my boyfriends roomate, Greg Sanders" She said.
Greg never believed in that whole "love at first sight" thing, but it was different this time. Sara was gorgeous, in the smart geeky, sort of way. She had big brown eyes and the most beautiful gap tooth smile he had ever seen. He must have been staring too long because Noelle smacked him on the back of the head and told him to close his mouth.
Noelle went to get her luggage, which left Greg and Sara alone. They stood in comfortable silence, while Greg was trying to think of something to say to her. He had a million questions, but none of them would come out. He hadn't been this nervous around a girl since his high school girlfriend, Jennifer. Even though he had just met Sara, he felt a strong connection with her. He finally got the courage to talk to her when he heard Noelle call them over the crowd.
"C'mon Sara and Greg, let's get a move on or we'll be stuck in traffic" She shouted, while everyone was giving her looks.
Sara started moving toward Noelle when he heard himself call her name
"Yea?" She responded
"Do your feet hurt?" He asked before he could stop himself
"No. why?" She responded, a curious expression on her face
"Because you've been running through my dreams all night" He said, wiggling his eyebrows
She started walking away, but he could see the outline of a smile on her face while she caught up to Noelle.
Maybe there was a chance of him winning over her heart, afterall.
