The next day Alex and I get up and get ready for orientation. We have about thirty minuets before we have to be there, so we decide to stop and get breakfast on the way. There's little shops all her campus but are quick shops, almost like corner stores near the athletic department. I buy a naked juice, a banana nut muffin, and a clif bar. While Alex gets a bottle of water and a plain bagel.

We continue to walk to the lecture hall, which is on the other side of campus. When we get to the building, there are a lot of kids making their way inside. Alex and I find seats, we sit down and talk until the head of the school steps onto the stage. She starts talking about the school and what she expects of us, as incoming freshman. She continues to talk about god knows what.

I get bored and start playing with Alex's hand, tracing random shapes and what not. I look up and Alex and see a small smile on her face, cute.

About an hour and half later we leave the lecture hall and make our way back to our room.

"Do you wanna go to the pitch?" Alex ask.

"I thought you'd never ask." I say.

Alex laughs and we both get our gear on. I have on sweatpants and a tee shirt, I wasn't forcing myself in jeans to go to orientation okay. I take off my shirt and sweatpants before looking around for the rest of my things.

"Do you want to do a few drills and things or just 1v1?" I ask.

Alex doesn't respond so I look up at her. She's biting her lips while staring at me. Well, at least now I know she still likes me. I'm single now and I still have a crush on Alex, so I decide to tease her. I walk over and Alex swallows hard which brings a smirk to my face. Alex is only in her shorts and a sports bra, I wrap my arms around her waist and move my lips to her ears.

"Is something wrong?" I whisper.

I hear Alex let out a breath, for how long she has been holding is beyond me. I look into her eyes and I get super close to her face. My lips are ghosting Alex's, not yet touching though. Slowly, Alex puts her arms around my neck and pulls me in for a kiss.

It isn't like the other times we've kissed. All those times I had to worry about Julie and all this other stuff. But right now, all I can think about is Alex. I pull away and smile, Alex has a smile on her face too.

"I need to finish getting ready." I say.

I slip out of Alex's grip and put the rest of my clothes on. We head to the field and start passing the ball around, doing tricks here and there. It isn't awkward, us being alone together. Which I am very thankful for.

"I thought I'd find you here."

I look up and see Hannah at the field entrance.

"Hey Hannah, what's up?" I ask.

"I was wondering if you and your friend-" Hannah starts,

"Alex." I say.

"Alex would like to come to a party tonight." Hannah finishes.

"Maybe, I'll text you."

"Alright, it was nice to meet you Alex."

Alex smiles a little but I can tell its fake. I wait until Hannah leaves then I to walk over to Alex.

"Are you jealous?"

"No."

I cock my eyebrow at Alex's response and start laughing.

"Alex, Hannah is a junior. So I'm more than sure she doesn't want to date a freshman. Also I met her yesterday, she helped me find my dorm and unpack. We got to know each other and she's a really cool person once you get to know her." I explain.

"Do you want to go to the party?"

"Do you want to go?"

Alex rolls her eyes at me then looks away from me.

"Kinda."

I take a step towards Alex and grab her hand.

"Then we'll go."

"But Y/N, you know how you get at parties."

I've been known to get drunk then think I'm invincible.

"Which is why I'm not going to get drunk, I know my limit."

Alex and I finish a few random drills we've either made up or remember from high school. After we get bored of the drills, we decide to scrimmage.

An hour later the score is tied at four, so Alex and I agree to call it. We grab our gear and make our way back to our dorm. We drop our things off in our room and decide to get lunch. I take Alex to the taco spot I found my first day here.

"This is so good." Alex mumbles with her mouth full of taco.

"Babe, didn't your mom ever tell you to not to talk with your mouth full?" I ask.

"Maybe, but rules are made to be broken."

I laugh and shake my head at Alex. The rest of lunch continues with us telling each other corny jokes. Once we are done eating, we head back to pur room and chill out for a while. I get in the shower and once I'm out Alex gets in. When Alex comes out, I get my laptop and put on Orange is The New Black. I text Hannah and let her know that Alex and I are going to go to the party. The party starts at eight but we aren't going until later because we want to finish the third season.

The best part about watching Orange with Alex, is she gets uncomfortable. So she starts moving a little and she won't look directly at the screen. Once we are done with the season I check the time,

8:49 PM

I go to my closet and look for an outfit. I mean I don't want to look like I rolled out of bed and decided to come, so put on a pair on black ripped skinny jeans. I find my black and yellow Nirvana muscle tee, which will go perfectly with my yellow snap back. I decide that my black classic vans will top this outfit off, so that's what I put on. I turn around and look at Alex, damn. She has on white denim shorts, a black crop top, and low top black converse.

"Keep your eyes on me tonight." Alex says.

"That won't be hard."

Alex laughs, I take her hand in mine and we walk hand in hand to her car. We're going to go back home one of these weekends and get the rest of my things, along with my motorcycle.

We drive to the state park and and find a spot to park. Which is impossible because literally all of the spaces are filled. We decide to just park on the grass, where some other cars are parked.

It isn't that hard to find the party considering there is music blaring and a bunch of drunk college students. We walk through the crowd of people dancing and I find Hannah with some other people. I walk over and tap Hannah's shoulder.

"Y/N, you made it!"

Hannah turns around and pulls me in for a hug.

"Yeah, I want to see what all the hype is about these college parties."

"Well, these are my friends Mamrie and Grace."

Hannah points to a red head, Mamrie and a blonde, Grace.

"Nice to meet you, this is my friend Alex."

The rest of the night is spent getting to know Mamrie and Grace. They are both seniors and met Hannah through mutual friends. They really hit it off when they all found out that they make Youtube videos. I know who all of them are because I've watched their videos before. But I don't want to see them as these stars, they are normal college students like the rest of us.

Hannah and I are getting closer and Alex is letting her guard down, she sees how cool Hannah is. We all drink a little but not too much because we all agree that we prefer to get drunk in the privacy of our rooms.

We all exchange​ numbers and around midnight we all say our goodbyes and head back to campus. When Alex and I get back to our dorms we change and get in our beds.

I toss and turn, I don't know why but I can't get to sleep.

"Alex."

"Yeah?"

"Can you sleep?"

"Would I be talking to you if the answer to that question was yes?"

I just laugh because she's right. Alex gets out of her bed and climbs in next to me. I wrap my arms around Alex, and slowly I find myself falling asleep.

She is all I need, I'm falling hard for Alex I'm just praying I won't mess it up. Alex is a good person and I don't want to break her heart. I think I'm in love with her...
