Are you okay. I still haven't heard from you yet. Hope you're settling in okay. Miss you. Love you. B xxx

I press send and slid my phone back into my back pocket of my jeans. The music was pumping and the crowd was dancing grinding against one and another. I felt a pull at my shoulder turning to see Dylan "come meet some people"

I follow her to a crowd she made her way to the middle "guys this is Brooke, my room mate and new friend" everyone greeted me with smiles and waves "you can be in our group. We are all from here other Noah" she points to a black haired guy "he is from England. He plays soccer"

"Nice to meet you all"

"So where you from Brooke? I'm Florence, but everyone calls me Flo"

"Tree Hill North Carolina" I reply

"Oh your the chick who kicks ass in cheerleading right?" did everyone know me because of that.

"Oh right yeah" another says "I watched that competition you won before summer. You were awesome"

"Oh thanks" I try my hardest not to blush, but I could feel my cheeks turning red.

"Oh your the won who got that cheer scholarship" one other nods "awesome"

"okay everyone we need to stop talking and do more drinking" Dylan says handing me a shot "down it" and I did feeling the hot liquid flow through my body.

"Again" I shout grabbing another shot "to a kick ass first year of college" everyone cheered and then we downed the shot.

I downed another shot slamming my shot glass to the table. That was my 6th maybe 7th shot and my head was feeling a little fuzzy from the alcohol. Turns out that Demi's sort of seeing a guy from this fraternity so we ended up coming here I stead.

The house was massive nothing I'm not used too. I scanned the crowd and saw Dylan was taking to a guy by the sofa so I make my way over trying not to fall as I did it.

"Oh Brooke there you are" Dylan says grabbing my arm and pulling on me resulting in me crashing onto the sofa next to this really cute guy "this is Samuel and Riley"

"Hi" I wave with a smile "Dylan Where's Demi and Danielle?"

She shrugged her shoulders "I saw Dani walk off with Tyler, but god knows where Dem is. She's probably sucking off Joshua like always"

I just nod to that not sure what to say "you having a good time though Brooke?"

I wasn't sure if I was. I mean I've only been here a day, but partying like this isn't the same without my girls. I know I'm going to have to get use to it, but right now I just feel... alone.

"I'm actually thinking about heading back. My head is hurting a little and I'm wiped out by the move" I reply

"Oh okay I'll come with if you want"

I shake my head "no don't be silly you enjoy yourself and I'll see you later. Tell the girls bye from me please" she nods and I make my way back through the crowd of rowdy college students.

I finally make it to the front door when a hard chest bumps into me causing me to drop my bag to the floor. Everything falling out.

"Shit" he mutters bending down to help me "I'm so sorry"

"Its okay" I assure "I was walking too fast"

"No no its my fault I wasn't looking" he packs everything into my bag and picks it up handing it to me "here"

"Thanks" our eyes connect and a strange feeling ran through my body. Not sure what it was, but I felt it "I have to go" I bring my eyes from his "thank you again" I look to the ground and walk pass him.

I reach my dorm room and hurry inside shutting the door behind me. I throw my bag onto my bed and slump down onto my bed. Lucas hasn't replied to any of my messages and it low key bothers me .

I go for a shower and get dressed into my shirt set pj's and lay on my bed when my phone buzzed beside me.

Hey pretty girl, I'm so sorry for the late reply. I was just settling into my dorm and was taken on a campus tour. Hope you had a good night out and I'm glad you're making friends. I'll call you tomorrow. Love you always. Luke

Tomorrow... he'll call me tomorrow. Well that hurt, but I don't let him know that.

Okay. Talk tomorrow. Night. B xxx

I place my phone on charge next to my bed and turn over ready for sleep to come.

I don't know how much longer it was when the door to the room swung open. I slow blink my eyes open to see the dude from the party that I bumped into in the doorway with a very drunk Dylan hanging off his shoulder. I saw him scan the room and his eyes landed on me "can you help me please?" I nod throwing my covers back and jumping out of bed "Come on Dylan let's go to bed" the guy says as we lead her over to her bed.

"Come to bed with me handsome" Dylan replies in a flirty voice "come on Jay you know you want too"

He pried her arm from his neck placing it on her stomach "Sorry Dylan you know I don't do drunk chicks" he replies "too much drama afterwards"

She laughed "riiight Laura" Laura. Who was Laura? "well thank you for bringing me home" she muttered as her eyes closed and a soft snore was heard.

"Thank you for the help Brooke" Jay says turning and then heading for the door. Confusion ran over my face. How did he know my name? I didn't tell him.

"How did you..."

"You're head cheerleader of the Ravens. Everyone knows who you are" he answered my unasked question "you've got moves"

"Wait you watched the competition?"

He nodded then laughed "of course I did. My sister is a bear cub. You totally kicked Nicki of her high horse at the competition. Everyone knew you would. It was hilarious to see her face when you won again. Priceless"

"So you're from Charlotte?" He nodded "play basketball?" he nodded again "cool"

We stood in a comfortable silence for a moment and then he spoke "well I gotta go. Demi and Danielle are in the car. I need to get them home too"

I nodded looking over at my phone and then at the clock it was 2 in the morning. School didn't start until next week so I could sleep in if I needed too.

"Need help getting them home?" I offered grabbing my hoodie from the chair at my desk.

He smiled nodding "sure"
