Adam nodded, "I can do that. I know this brunch place that some people I'm friends with work at." Adam set her down on the bed then got up and took her hand, "Come on, the food is really good." Adam winked back with a grin on his face.

Kenlynn looked up at the girl "Oh hello" her accent making an appearance. "I'm Kenlynn". She stood up extending her hand to the girl. She wasn't aware that they had sat her up with a roommate so soon, she wasn't that good with people.

Colton laughed a bit "My apologies, my horse was brought here i'm just trying to find him" He extended his hand "I'm Colton" He gave his award winning grin. We was a flirt to almost every girl, he just couldn't help it.

 

[FadingDaisies]

Adeline tried hard to show a more 'friendly' approach as she stepped toward the girl and shook her hand. It wasn't everyday that she had to room with a total stranger and last year she had somehow ended up without a roommate altogether. She moved back to her side and started pulling things form her bags looking for a fresh pair of clothes to change out the old ones. "You just arrived today?" Trying to make small talk, Addie glanced back over at the girl.


Cris shook her head and shook his hand after a moment. "Crystal, your typical badass." She grinned back not having any particular weakness especially toward guys like him. Crossing her arms she looked back toward the main building. "They should've told you when you check in..whatever. It's probably in that direction." She said at last while pointing to a building half a mile to the right of campus. "The veterinary gang go out there sometimes. Never really got interested in what they were doing so anything is possible."

"I have some things in mind, but you can only find out if you come with." He grins and walks to the door. "Are you dressed in the appropriate apparel for the day or do you need to go to your dorm and change?" Andrew begins tapping his foot on the floor while waiting for an answer. "Girls always have to change and do their makeup. Like, you can wear underwear for atleast 2 days in a row."


@XxKaraxX


Olivia shakes her head, "You're sister is a very protective person, I couldn't exactly see her making a bad decision since her one hundred words of advice to Dakota last night. But then again some don't follow their own." She shrugs and swallows another few bites before continuing, "And no that's not my way to rid of you, just thought you'd like a warning. He's a very strict person, so no mentioning the party or the fact you slept in my room." A grin appears on her face and she continues eating, but this time finishing her last few bites. Olivia's phone bings, distracting her from conversation. It reads,"Hey baby." She closes out her phone and puts it away not knowing the number, but it was familiar.

Kenlynn smiled "Yeah, all the way from Oklahoma" She tried not to think about it really. "I'm here for my vet degree". She was still a bit shaky talking to someone she didn't know, in her small little town everyone grew up together. She looked down clicking her boots together "what about you, what are you here for?" she asked hoping to not come off as to strange.


Colton smiled "Well I guess that makes me your typical cowboy" He laughed a bit. He looked over to where she pointed "Yeah they told me when I came to visit, but i seemed to have forgotten. That is probably it over there". He looked around then back at Crystal "Well even if your not interested in what they are doing, maybe you can come visit me over there sometime" He laughed a bit and turned to walk of "It was nice meeting you ma'am" He tipped his hat and went to walk off.

 

[XxKaraxX]

"Fine... I guess I'll go with you." Dakota looks down at herself and laughs, "No, no I'm not. And no... I really don't think its good to wear underwear two days in a row..." She glances at the door, "I should probably get changed, be right back." Dakota smiles at him and walks out the door to her dorm.

Once in her dorm she takes a quick shower then changes into her clothing, wearing a pair of converse, as usual. She then sprays on a little bit of vanilla perfume and walks back to his dorm room, knocking on the door.

Nicholai jumped out of his car and put a cigarette in his mouth "Another year back at this shit hole" He sighed to himself. He grabbed his bag and headed to his dorm. As he walked threw the hall way he heard one of the fresh man yell "Hey no smoking in here". He quickly flipped him off before opening his door. He threw his stuff on his bed and took one last puff before putting his cigarette out. He looked around and remembered he had to go get his drum set, how could he forget that? He walked out and passed the freshman once again flipping him off for no reason and proceed out the door to his car and got his drums out. He looked around and noticed a girl with tattoos...talking to a cowboy? He laughed.

 

[BasicallyMe]

Andrew opens the door, catching a wiff of Dakota's vanilla perfume. "Someone smells scrumptilicious." He slides past her having changed when she left. He was wearing a red hoodie with the same jeans from last night and red shoes to match. "Alright, let's go." He begins walking and leads her out onto the court yard. "We're going to go off campus if that's ok with you." Andrew continued to walk towards the woods then looks back to reassure her. "And no I'm not going to murder you, there's a pretty cool place up in here." Once they both get into the woods, he walks a little deeper, finally revealing a small cabin like house.


@XxKaraxX

 

[FadingDaisies]

"Dang..." Is all she says while still trying to get over the odd sensation of speaking to someone she hardly knows. "Animals are cool.." She said and immediately felt awkward for saying something so simple and child-like. Sighing and mentally face-palming, Addie shakes her head. "Sorry, I'm not used to small talk," apologizing just before getting the returned questions, she speaks again. "I'm here for Nursing." She felt weird telling someone this and wanting desperately not to be asked for the reason behind the decision. "So, is that your family..?" It was a sweet photo and she wished that she had one that she wouldn't mind putting on display.


Crystal smirked at his response and rolls her eyes looking from him. "Playing dumb, huh...tch, sure you forgot." She was only teasing though. Her brow raised at his suggestion of her going to visit him and a light laugh escaped her. "Alright, cowboy." She shook her head while watching him begin walking away. He wasn't so bad, she could admit that much. It was time for her to continue inside, however, so she does so.

[XxKaraxX]

Dakota follows Andrew and nods, "You can find pretty cool stuff in the woods so I believe you." Dakota smiles as she looks around at the wildlife, so peaceful, being able to stay very close into the city yet be able to be near nice wildlife. As they are walking she spots a cabin in the woods, "Is this like your secret hide out or something? I sort of feel as if this is suppose to be a scene in a horror movie." Dakota says with an awkward laugh and moves some hair out of her face.

Kenlynn smiled "It's okay, i'm not very good at it either", "that sounds like fun" she smiled and looked over at the photo "Oh, uh yeah, my twin brother, mom, dad, and younger brothers". Clearing her throat that was now tight from her trying to hold back tears "do you have any pictures of your family?"


she crossed her legs getting comfortable on the bed.


Colton laughed and called out as they both walked away "I'm sure I will see you soon". He continued walking to the barn looking at all the new faces. He knew he would have no trouble making friends, he just didn't know how soon that would be.


Nicholai began walking inside, his boxes filled with his drums stacked high. With out being able to see where he was going he bumped into a girl dropping the box with all his drum sticks "Oh shit" She called out as he stumbled a bit. He looked at the girl "Sorry, can't exactly see where I'm going" he smiled a bit as he seen how pretty the girl was.


@ShadedRose

 

[BasicallyMe]

Andrew shrugs. "I'll show you what it's for." He walks inside and men's voices could be heard talking around the corner in the living room. "Hey man." Andrew grabs onto the other guy's hand and they bump shoulders; he does that with the other two also.


"Ay man you brought a girl?" The blonde grins and holds out his hand for a shake. "I'm Noah."


Whilst Noah was trying for a handshake with Dakota, the brunette hands Andrew a bag of something, which Andrew accepts and plops down on the couch.


"I have a new college thing to try." He grins and holds up the bag of pills, shaking them towards Dakota. "Oh and don't worry these won't hurt you."


@XxKaraxX


((oooo he's into illegal dangerous things. ( )))

 

[FadingDaisies]

Feeling a bit less anxious about making small talk now that their conversation seemed to actually be moving along. She smiled a little looking at Kenlynn's photo again just to look away when having the question turned to herself. "Oh, no..my family wasn't big on taking pictures." She lied. Most of the pictures from before her transition were lost to some 'mysterious' fire that her grandmother swore she had not started. It made no sense but during the time when Addie wasn't exactly all there she had also destroyed plenty of pictures. It was just safer to tell people that she and her family didn't like cameras. "Camera shy, maybe?" She said and looked up at the ceiling as she let herself fall backwards onto the bed.


Cris laughed to herself while walking back inside. Though charming, the country boys just didn't do it for her. Grinning, she went inside sending a few waves and 'heys' to some of the people who passed. It was an okay start to the new year and the party from that night had been pretty cool. Mostly watching light weights getting drunk on the first three drinks or the slutty girls who played drunk just for the attention. Her head bowed a bit to look down at her phone again. Still no responses. With a heavy sigh she put the thing back into her pocket and glanced back just as the guy who'd bumped her lost his shit. She scowled at the guy at first but got over herself remembering the face from the year before. "Hm, you're no freshman." She mumbled mostly to herself and bent down to help retrieve his things from the ground. "Might wanna watch it, not everyone's as kind as me." She smirked a bit wondering if this guy was as cool as he looked. "Anyway, here." She took the extra items from the top so the guy could properly see and adjusts it all in her arms. "Hurry up, then, lead the way." She motioned her head in the direction of the male dormitory. It wasn't like she had anything better to do anyway.

[XxKaraxX]

As Dakota walks into the house with her arms crossed she hears a guys voice and gets startled. She follows Andrew, trying to stay close to him as possible, so if one of them gets murdered she has a better chance of surviving.

Once entering what she believes to be the living room she notices a couple of other guys and shakes the blondes hand, "I'm Dakota..." She says timidly then looks over to the other guy holding the bag of pills. What did I get myself into... Dakota thinks to herself as she looks at the bag of pills, "Um..." She looks at both of them, thinking about what to do. She just decides to go with it and takes one of the pills out of the bag then sits down next to Andrew then whispers unnoticeably, "Why did you bring me to this place?" @BasicallyMe​

 

[BasicallyMe]

"Well, I wanted to get you out of your worries." He pops the pill into his mouth and waits for her to do the same. "Just one won't hurt. I promise nothing bad is going to happen." Andrew then looks to the other guys who were doing the same: taking the pills and cutting up.


"Girl, just do it. You can't possibly turn it down. It's just a little fun." A black haired guy emerges from a different room and sits next to her. His arm snakes its way around Dakota's shoulders and you could already tell he was messed up. "They'll help you with your studies if that's what you have to hear to take it."


@XxKaraxX

 

[lette]

Kenlynn smile"yeah probably,my family didn't take that many". She looked down picking lint off her sock. She felt a bit better, maybe she was actually making a friend. She looked up "so what do you like to do for fun?". She hoped at least one person here would have similar interest.


Nicholai smirked "ah my lady in shining armor, thanks" He led the way back to his dorm room and sat his stuff down and took the stuff from the girl before sitting on his bed "Thanks". He smiled "I'm Nicholai, and your correct i'm not a freshman". He motioned for her to sit beside him


Colton looked around at all the new faces as he made his way to the barn

[XxKaraxX]

Dakota mumbles to Andrews comment, "I think pizza would of been a better option..."

She then sees a black haired guy come and put his arm around her. It made her feel very uncomfortable so she tried to move a bit away but it didn't really help because Andrew was right next to her. She sighed and looked down at the pill.

I suppose just one? Dakota nervously takes the pill and leans back into the couch, watching everyone taking the pills. @BasicallyMe​

 

[BasicallyMe]

A while later, Andrew wasn't completely his self. Since it had only been one pill, he was still aware of things and his attention turned to Dakota. "So how're you feeling?" He grins and lays his head back not wanting to hold it up any longer. "We've been here for.." He looks at his phone, squinting his eyes for better vision. "An hour?" He questions him self unable to remember when they got here since he wasn't paying attention. "I think we should go a little farther into the woods, there's something else." He stands up, wobbling ever so slightly, and reaches his hand out for her to grab. They walk outside, leaving behind the other three boys and he brings her many yards deeper. A lake sat untouched and quiet. There were flowers around it, sort of like a meadow. "Alright, get naked we're skinny dipping." He grins and slips off his shirt first. "The water is going to be cold most likely, just a warning."


@XxKaraxX


((I'll be on tomorrow, gotta get some sleep lol))

 

[XxKaraxX]

"Huh." Dakota tilts her head as she's staring up at the ceiling, "Such a ceiling..." She then glances over at Andrew and shrugs, "Fine I guess." Dakota giggles as she lays her head back, "Hm, oh yeah, farther into the woods.. Wooo..." Dakota giggles and does a fist pump into the air. She then grabs Andrews hand and almost fell back onto the couch from feeling a bit off balanced.

As they walk down into the woods on this nice day she sees a lake, shimmering from the sun, "Wow..." Dakota laughs a bit and follows Andrew.

She then tilts her head and bursts out laughing, "Going skinny dipping?" Dakota laughs more, "What if like... Someone finds us?"

She shrugs it off and watches as Andrew takes off his shirt and blushes a bit. Then, herself takes off her cardigan then tank top, laying it on the grass. @BasicallyMe

(Goodnight!)​

 

[blueeyess]

Stephen woke up stiff as a board and with a killer migraine forming at the back of his brain. The scent of alcohol all over and around him wasn't too pleasant either. His eyes opened to see a mess of dark colored hair. This surprised him, his head moving slightly to see who it was whom he had his arms around. It came to him a second later of who it was and a small smile came over him. He was happy with him still there, in his arms safe. The light that was coming in through the slits in between the curtains made him cringe as the light shot onto the wall and crept in causing some of the darkness to flee. His fingers twitched from being frozen so long and legs stretched themselves out. He would have to get up eventually to go and shower, he realized. It was a drawn out process though after a few minutes he had gotten up from the bed and some how left the male to continue his sleep. The curtain issue was soon dealt with leaving only little glimpses of sunlight coming in.
The next step was to find a few pain killers. Luckily, remembering he has ibuprofen that's what he uses. First taking a couple then setting two on the nightstand with a cup of water next to the bed incase Clark were to awaken. He left the bedside to shower, taking a pair of jogging pants from his dresser and going off into the bathroom. After starting the water and waiting for it to warm up, he eased in while leaving his alcohol covered clothes on the floor. He finished up the shower in record time. Coming out with damp hair and clean pants, he had half a mind to wake his current company but the other half believed it to be quite rude. Deciding that it was, indeed, rude, Steph sits on the opposite bed and begins to dry out his hair.


@blueeyess

Clark Somers


The light pitter patter of the showers water had woken him from his sleep, but Clark didn't make an effort to move right away. The space behind him was still somewhat warm from the body that had been there, and his mind rushed through what had occurred last night - most of which was a blur. However, a single face and person stood prominent in his mind, Stephen. Moving to a sitting position he spotted the water and tablets, then Stephen sat on the bed opposite, shirtless and wet from the shower. Clark felt his cheeks warming, "hey" he muttered, voice hoarse.


Clark grabbed the water, chugging some before taking the tablets, then finishing the glass. His mind remembered patchy areas of the night, it all made him feel worse.. what had he done to Stephen. A young man who had already gone through enough and Clark had made it so much worse, from what he could tell. Kissing him, telling him all about his problems... this was why he didn't drink often, or at least didn't get drunk. It had been a bad idea to do so last night, Stephen had enough problems without Clark unloading all of his. He felt bad enough the day prior mentioning his brother had been unwell.. stupid, Clark reminded himself.


"I'm sorry for last night" he whispered, eyes moving to Stephen. "From what I remember I gave you a hard time... and" he paused running a hand through his hair. I kissed you, he thought, somewhat happy that he had, but disappointed by the circumstances... now it meant nothing.

Stephen's eyes opened and looked to Clark having heard his hoarse voice and smiled. "Morning sunshine." He watched him grab at the water and take the pills while trying desperately to get his hair dried to the best of his abilities. His hair never wanted to cooperate. Looking over again at the voice holder, he shakes his head quickly. "Don't be sorry, man." His own voice cracked a bit and he had to clear it. "I had an awesome time..I'm sorry for acting like I did." He remembered almost everything. How he hadn't registered the words spoken to him about Clark's feelings, how he practically drove him away without even meaning to and lastly, how he almost ruined his best friend. "You didn't do anything wrong..I-I just never expected..." He trailed briefly staring down at his crossed legs and letting the towel stay covering his head.


"Look, I've never had a first love and never have I gotten a confession from someone I really care about..you're the first," his eyes darted upward to look across to Clark. "That kiss, it was amazing...short, but amazing." Everything he was saying was truth and though a bit of pink was beginning to color his cheeks, he went on with a small smile. "I was too shit-faced to realize what was going on and I'm so sorry. I hope you can forgive me....and maybe still like me," he breathed in slowly trying not to show how nervous he was becoming. "more than a friend." Finally having said it, Stephen picked his head up and watched Clark's face. He had planned it all out in the shower. He would recall everything he could, figure it all out, tell himself how fucking stupid he was and then get out and confess his own affection. A long shot but worth it.

 

[FadingDaisies]

Kenlynn was definitely not one of the nosy assholes who she always seemed to run into around campus. At least her roommate was cool and seemed sweet. "Hmm.." She thought to herself for a minute trying to come up with her usual hobbies that weren't illegal due to her age. "I used to go to the animal shelter on my free time, we had one about a block from my house. More basic 'fun' things include swimming, going for walks and the occasional bowling trip." She smiled a little and returned the question now a bit curious about her roomie as well. "What about you?"


Cris rolled her eyes and followed after him. She had seen him before and could remember his drum skills. She just assumed that that was how she recognized him and moved on. Worrying about who someone was to her was definitely not on her to-do list today. Getting up to his dorm, she went in and set his things down out of the way. It wasn't her intention to stay any longer than necessary but then he spoke to her. Looking over as he sat she shoved her hands into her pockets again. "Crystal." She said simply and noticed him gesturing for her to go sit. "No, thanks. Momma said not to sit with strangers." She grinned.

Clark Somers


Staying silent, his listened to Stephen and before he had the chance to tell Stephen not to be sorry.. the young man before him kept speaking. Clark wasn't sure how to answer, mostly because he had prepared himself for an awkward friendship with Stephen, avoiding the topic at all costs. Instead Stephen admitted he felt the same.. and Clark had not been prepared for it. His face flushed a brighter colour of pink and he bit down on his lip, shyly. "First" he said, "don't be sorry.. let's both not be sorry. We did some silly things and we can move on from them" Clark started looking away nervously. "And I'd like that.. a lot. To be more than your friend" he paused trying to draw his eyes to Stephen but his nerves didn't allow it. Clark wondered if he was still drunk or asleep, having a conversation with himself.. he wondered if he'd wake up still at the party in a heap on the floor while Stephen made out with a hot girl. Giving himself a little pinch, nothing changed.


Trying to remove the silence and the nervousness in the air, Clark spoke up. "We can always.. kiss again" he suggested with shy laughter, "but.. only when my mouth doesn't taste like dirt" he said finally looking to Stephen. His eyes moved over the young man's handsome features and down to his still damp body, whipping his eyes away, Clark stood up and placed the empty glass on the side. "I should probably go back to my dorm.. get ready, I probably look a right state" he chuckled shyly glancing at Stephen, "but.. we can walk to class together when I'm ready... if you want? I'm in 318" he waited before leaving to see what Stephen would say.

Like a huge boulder of doubt and anxiety lifting up from his shoulders, Stephen breathed out. It seemed like he had been holding his breath for decades praying for a miracle that he had not just made a fatal mistake in any way, shape or form. His eyes took notice of the blushing male across from him and hoped it was a good sign. He just kept waiting and watching; kind of creepy, he thought after a moment more and looked away too. Hearing that neither of them should be sorry, he smiled gladly. Maybe there was still hope. Glancing up at the next few words his smile grew. He was too happy to speak at the time. His nerves calming down significantly though Clark's had obviously not done the same. His attention had drifted wondering how things would change now with the craziness that had happened within the past twenty-four hours.


Steph looked over again when Clark began to talk again. He grinned and even chuckled a little. "Definitely." His eyes were filled with their usual warmth and light. He was feeling way better and that's saying something after the shit ton of drinks they had. "Walking to class sounds good." He smirked and stood up too. Stretching out his arms, he yawned then nods his head. "Yeah, I'll get a shirt and shoes on then head that way in a bit." He grabs the cup from the table and walks past Clark, pausing to peck him on the cheek before going into the bathroom to put the item back. "See you soon." He smiled and gave a wink.
