Stephen woke with a small glint of sweat crawling slowly from his brow. A small gasp of air entered his lungs bringing them to life all of a sudden and sitting up abruptly, feeling his stomach roll. It was just a night terror... He whispered to himself as he seemed to have been doing lately. Though these little 'terrors' never got too out of hand, they are present and waking up in a heated rush was never fun. Wiping his forehead with the back of his hand, Steph breathes out slowly, evenly. His eyes swept toward his phone which sat on his nightstand buzzing, the caller ID reading Bitch across the top section.
There was no hesitation as he reached over and clicked the lock button to stop the vibrations. His hand then going back to his face and pinching the bridge of his nose. At least he had Clark in his life, God knows he would have already ran away or done something pretty stupid. Thinking about all of this, he reaches out to grab his phone again and checks the time again. Nine-thirty. His eyes hurt then, burning with the pain of not sleeping long enough. He sure wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep and his classes didn't start til much later meaning he would be free for the majority of the day, his excitement prompting him to get up and dressed which he does in record time before slipping out to go and see about Clark, himself. Their day yesterday had been pretty chill and after their dumbass classes they had gone out to eat together again.

Adeline woke sore from her first riding session the day prior. Her eyes glittering with the excitement that remained. It had been so much fun and glancing over she was relieved to discover that the events had not been just a dream. Her heart fluttered and the thought of how anxious she had been despite still trying it out and allowing her new roommate and friend to talk her into such crazy things. Before yesterday she had never imagined doing something so cool. Plus, it made her more comfortable. The stables would definitely become one of her more favorable places to go and hide. Her legs twitched and quietly she gets out of bed then heads into their bathroom to change out of her pajamas, Kenlynn still sleeping in her own bed.


Cris woke to the beep caused by a very lively alarm clock. Her fist flew over her head and slammed down onto the buzzer feeling annoyed already. She had left the hospital late last night or maybe early this morning? She couldn't tell. Her head rung with the remnants of hearing the continuous alarm. What are you to do today... Sighing loudly, her eyes fluttered across the room seeing Zoe's bed still unoccupied. It had been a day since the last time she had seen the girl and a bit of curiosity prickled at her insides. "Must've found a guy.." She said to the blank ceiling pretending that she actually had someone to speak to. "Fuck me." She growled realizing how stupid she was being and sat up. Things needed to change, quick. Looking through her clothes it was apparent that a couple of her better things were missing though she worried not, knowing it had to have been Olivia who was the culprit.


Moving to the mirror, she got changed slowly, studying her many tattoos and wondering whether she would add to the collection before too much longer. Frowning at the ugly discoloration from years before, she shakes her head and walks to the door. It was not long before she finds herself in the guy's dormitory glancing around while trying to seem casual. Her loneliness growing. Being an attention seeker definitely had its downfalls. Her face fell into a frown as she passed a familiar room number and paused. It was Nicholai


@lette

Kenlynn opened her eyes still very tired. She stayed up way later then she thought she would teaching Addie how to ride. she say up stretching and looking around "Addie?" she called out wondering where she was. She got up and grabbed her clothes and boots and get ready for the day. She walked over to the bathroom and and took a shower before getting dressed. and slipping on her very warn dirty boots. She looked around still trying to find Addie.


Nicholai rolled over on the empty bottle of jack, he opened his eyes and sprang up a little to fast. He grabbed his head "damn hang over" He looked around and got up slowly over to his door to see who was out and about. As soon as he opened the door he seen her "hey Chirs!" He grabbed his head again "you wouldn't happen to have some Gatorade would ya?" he laughed weakly.

Noticing her blush, Nick thanked the waiter and raised an eyebrow at Olivia. Getting up, he moved around the table and sat next to her. "You can tell me anything...you know that, right?" He asked softly as he placed a finger underneath her chin and topping her head up a bit so she was looking j to his eyes. "What is it?" He asked her quietly, a genuine smile on his face. He had an idea of what she might have been thinking, but he didn't want to do anything in case he was wrong.

 

[Private Pyle]

Damn...need'a find somebody. Wonder how many girls are here? Then again, I'm a fish outta water; I don't belong here. Ain't stayin' for long. Mike mouths his thoughts to himself, seeing as he is isolated from people, for the moment. He stifles a yawn, hiding the slight fatigue he was enduring from the drive up here. Braddock makes his way over to Student Services, the bag swaying on his hip with each step he took. Finding absolutely nobody to his great dismay, he ventures to the dormitories, where hopefully, he'd run into somebody who knew where the hell they were.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Zoe soon felt the subway stop and smiled widely as she hopped off his lap. Grabbing his hand, she pulled him off the subway and out of the station. She stopped for a few moments, savoring the fresh air, laced with delicious smell of food and the ocean. "Come on!" She said happily as she pulled his arm, lacing her fingers with his happily, walking towards food stands.

Buckle hadn't understood what Sage was talking about. Chances were he didn't want to know. So he didn't ask. Sage exited the apartment, and Buckle reached into his pocket. Obtaining his chrome-skull keyring, he flipped out his Harley Davidson key. Walking out of his assumed room, he locked the door behind him. As he walked out of the dorm, he locked up the front door as well. His heavy, steel-capped boots thudded loudly as the large heel clapped onto the cement stairs. The cold air rushed into the compartment of the stairwell as he threw the metal exit door open. His leather flexed and moved along with his arms and shoulders as he walked to his Electra. The cool sound of Hank Jr. hit his ears as he stamped through the wet parking lot. Locating the source of the sound, his brown-hazel eyes zeroed in on a blue Ford F-150. Things were looking up, Buckle thought. Someone he might be able to get on common ground with. Buckle gave a thumbs-up to the owner. He would have gone over and made friends, but he was on a schedule. Campus curfew was tight some nights. Sliding his ass onto the saddle of his Harley, the denim of his Wranglers stretched around his rear. Buckle kick-started the engine. It roared loudly, firing up with American steel-made pride. Shifting into gear, he rolled out of the parking lot and headed down the streets, in search of a liquor store.

 

[Private Pyle]

The roaring of such a magnificent vehicle certainly captured the attention of Mike, who was still halfway between SS and the dorms. He cranes his head to view the spectacle, catching the thumbs-up from the man who occupied the Electra. Assuming, hoping, and even praying that the owner was from Dixie as he was, Mike woops with proud Rebel yell that reaches the nearby treetops. It rings with pride, and despite being in "hostile" land, was unwavered in revealing his passion for his homeland. Braddock continues his journey, keeping the model and make of the vehicle in the back of his mind. Well alright. That's a tune I can whistle to. He smiles to himself and enters the dormitories, adjusting the duffle bag over his shoulder, eyes scanning the interior walls for any person of interest. Which, at this point, any old fella or lady would suffice.

Colton woke up stretching. He looked around, it was kind of lonly having a room to himself but in a way kind of fun. He grabbed his clothes hats and boots and walked over to the bathroom. He ran the shower and got in. He got out soon after and got dressed. Looking around his dorm he decided to go out to the stables again to practice some more. He walked out his cowboy hat making him stand out from all the other people at this college. He was getting stared at but he ignored it as he made his way down hearing the horses whinnying in the distance.

 

[FadingDaisies]

Rhett walked with his face turned up toward the sky, his eyes scanning the few darkening clouds and feeling his skin itch for another smoke. His pack of cigs burning in his left pant pocket. Glancing down from his cloud-gazing, R noticed a couple newer faces. His interest staying from reach while his feet continues to carry him through the court yard, a sketch book under his right arm. Nothing would have made him more glad to be back in his unoccupied dorm room passed clean out with a half smoked cigarette hanging in the ashtray he hides in the nightstand's drawer. A slow sigh escaped his lips then.

Kenlynn opened her eyes still very tired.

He grabbed his head again "you wouldn't happen to have some Gatorade would ya?" he laughed weakly.

Adeline stared out from the windows of the cafeteria, a chocolate chip muffin in one hand and a blueberry in the other. Her interest in horses had surely grown and knowing how much fun Kenlynn had seemed to have, Addie was excited to maybe ask her for more tips on how to ride and such. Thinking about her friend, Addie takes off heading upstairs and back to their dorm to see whether she had woken up yet. When she got there it was no surprise to see the other girl looking around in fresh clothes. She smiled, holding out the muffins. "Morning," she nods at the food, "I went downstairs to grab a bite to eat. "Want one?" She waits patiently for an answer.


Crystal, not having thought about actually talking with Nicholai so early in the morning, sighs and looks at him shaking her head. "It's too early for all of that and yeah, of course." She said the last bit sarcastically but does watch him slightly concerned. "There might be some down in the cafeteria..want me to go and see?" Her eyes look him over briefly concluding that he had not changed much appearance wise. "Go back into your dorm and shower or something, you look like death." Her words were playful and a small smirk shows.

Kenlynn smiled and grabbed the muffin from her smiling "thank you" She nibbled on it smiling "how are you feeling this morning?" She smiled knowing the girl would be sore from riding so much. She really wanted to get back to the horses. "You feel like walking down to the stables?" she turned to look out the window to see how pretty it was outside. She turned back around to the girl.


Nicholai nodded "Yeah, i'll be in the shower when you get back" he gave a weak laugh before turning around and and walking into his room striping clothed off one at a time. Shirt, socks, pants, boxers, he ran the water where is was just warm enough before he got in and sat down letting it run on him. He sat back with his head pounding "why did I have to drink so much" he said aloud to him self waiting for chris to come back with his Gatorade. He hoped she didn't mind seeing him like this after all these years.

Andrew's adrenaline seemed to bounce from him to Dakota, leaving him sick as a dog. "Woah, woah." He bends over and stares at the ground for a few seconds, thinking about how she kissed him on the cheek and how he was about to barf. Finally after a few seconds he stood back up and looked at her, "Something easy?" He rubs the bridge of his nose and looks around. The next ride Andrew points to is a bit softer looking, no spinning, but lots of jerking. "How about that?"

Olivia's breathing got shorter and she took her head away from his hand. "It's just.. You're handsome that's all." She shrugs and sips her coffee trying so hard to not kiss his lips. After all they were so close, but she was just his friend. "Ok, look. You're being a real temptation right now." She says as if she was joking around but all in all it was the truth. Olivia faced back upwards to look at him and finally pushed herself against his body to kiss his lips.

Sage walked around town at a leisurely pace. He hands were buried in his pockets and his head was down.

 

[blueeyess]

"Maybe you're as lucky as me and you won't have a roommate." He stretches out, arms helping to lift his head enough to watch as Clark put down the book and came over. He smiles up at his company then nods his head in certainty. "Let's do it! I'm sure they would be quite understanding seeing as most of 'em wake at the ass crack of dawn, themselves..." Leaning closer as Clark laid next to him, his lips tingled at the brush of the other male's lips against his own. Breathing in his scent, he shortly exhales. "Only one this afternoon but I wouldn't mind skipping it if we got to stay like this.." He moves an arm around to rest behind Clark's head and lay on his shoulder. "What about you?"

Clark Somers


"Sounds like a plan" he chuckled, cuddling closer to Stephen as the taller man wrapped his arm around him. Clark smiled shyly, "I've not got any today" he answered, meeting Stephen's eyes again. He shuffled slightly and pressed his lips to the taller man's once more, "I don't mind staying here all day" he whispered.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

When she pulled her face away, Nick couldn't help but frown ever so slightly, though he was glad that she was finally opening up to him. When she went to try to kiss him, he turned facing the table and looked down. "All you had to do was say something," he said softly as he looked back at her, placing a hand gently on her cheek. "I didn't want to do anything until I was sure," he added truthfully before smiling softly at her. Leaning in towards her, he gently pressed his lips against hers, rather enjoying the kiss. His lips were soft and warm against hers and tasted only slightly of caramel and vanilla from his drink. He knew he didn't want to pull away, but he would have to eventually...just not now.

Kenlynn smiled and grabbed the muffin from her smiling "thank you" She nibbled on it smiling "how are you feeling this morning?" She smiled knowing the girl would be sore from riding so much. She really wanted to get back to the horses. "You feel like walking down to the stables?" she turned to look out the window to see how pretty it was outside. She turned back around to the girl.

He hoped she didn't mind seeing him like this after all these years.

"No problem." She smiled brightly, no longer feeling uncomfortable with Kenlynn's presence, while remembering about the day before. "Definitely sore.." Putting a hand to the back of her back, she rubs at it. "It was probably the most fun I've had in a while, though..." She confessed with a slight smile. Glancing out their window, she nods her head. "Sure." Going to her bed, Addie slips on some socks and her sneakers. Standing, she bends around stretches before going over to Lynn, muffin in hand. "Ready when you are."


Crystal waits until Nicholai disappears into his dorm before turning on her heel and heading back down the hall through the male dormitories. She ignored any stares or flirtacious whistles thrown her way and left the area. Her focus stayed on getting the recovering drunk a gatorade for whatever reason. What the fuck is wrong withyou? Suddenly degraded to a damn servant. She thought though changed her perspective telling herself that this would be her good deed of the day. Reaching the cafeteria, it took less than a minute to retrieve what she was after and heads back. Once again she ignored the freshmen and sophmore stares, bottled drink in hand. It wasn't long then before she was inside of Nicholai's dorm and going straight to the bathroom where she heard the running water. His naked body doesn't faze her. "Here, my good deed of the day has already been achieved." She sighs and went to the tub, leaning down to set the bottle near him.

 

[BasicallyMe]

Olivia sat there as she absorbed the kiss, physically and mentally. They were actually kissing. She lets go after a long few seconds when the waiter comes back with their pancakes. Her cheeks turned pink and she reaches for the food. Olivia didn't want to sit there awkwardly the rest of their breakfast, but she had no idea what to say to him about it, about anything. She couldn't focus right now since the kiss was taking up every thought. She knew she liked Nick but pushing the feelings away would be easier.


@JaneXJeff

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Feeling Olivia pull away, he did as well, smiling widely at her blushing face. Reaching for his food, he took a small bite, realizing that she wasn't saying anything. His smile slowly faded as he looked down at his food quietly. "Sorry..." he said softly as looked over at her. "I-I didn't mean to....Sorry," he stuttered, not wanting her to be mad at him.


@BasicallyMe

 

[BasicallyMe]

She shakes her head while chewing a bite of pancake, "Don't be sorry. There's nothing to be sorry about." She smiles slightly then swallows and takes another bite. "It was good." Olivia swallows another bite and sips at her coffee to wash it down. She wasn't sure what to say to him about it. "I think that this place really does make good food and coffee. Score for us this morning." Her slight smile turns into a full one this time, hoping he wouldn't think she didn't like their kiss. She did, it's just hard to trust. People are hard to trust.

He shuffled slightly and pressed his lips to the taller man's once more, "I don't mind staying here all day" he whispered.

Stephen's smile stretched across his face in a goofy way before chuckling along. "Sweet, so that means that I can stay home, right mom?" He chuckled again still showing off his goofy smile. Being given another kiss sends a string of tingling through his bones, a sort of excitement. "I sure as hell don't care if I ever moved from this spot." He mumbled when the kiss was over though doesn't accept the ending, gently pressing his lips back against Clark's in a soft, loving way. He couldn't think of any other time when kissing someone had made him feel so alive.

He chuckled, "yes you can" his laughter continued into the kiss, until he became enthralled into that moment, the connection of their lips. Clark broke the kiss, for a moment, "I'm happy with staying here all day" he replied kissing Stephen again. Clark was nervous, but in the best way, and all his mind kept saying to him was a single line. Kiss him, it said, and don't stop. Shuffling, somewhat shyly, he pressed his lips and tugged on Stephen's shirt, moving them into a sitting position. Not breaking the kiss, Clark moved onto the taller male's lap. He broke the kiss, a moment of euphoria, "I feel like this isn't real" he whispered, his fingers running in the back of Stephen's hair.

Floating on air, that was the best way to explain how good it felt being there with Clark as they were. The possibility that they were truly meant to be more than just best friends as they had seemed to believe. His eyes locked onto Clark's with a small glint of happiness. He was just as happy and wanted to stay just like that. One kiss, two kiss...pretty soon they had kissed a handful of times and the twisting of nerves had started. "It's like a dream.." He comments in response to Clark's statement. His chest pressed against the others as they sat there. Taking a moment to take in every detail of his partner's face, Stephen leaned back down to allow their lips to meet. His hand goes up to Clark's face, gently caressing his cheek.

As his lips connected with Stephen's again, he breathed in a sharp breath and melted into the moment. Clark's fingers ran through the back of Stephen's hair, as their kiss deepened, he leaned into it. The moment felt as though time had stopped, as if they were locked into the moment, nothing could break it or interfere. He broke the kiss for a second, his hand moving to Stephen's cheek, he couldn't hold back his smile. Filled with happiness, "it's a dream I don't want to wake up from" he muttered shyly. Clark kissed Stephen again, a gentle peck at first, his eyes scanned the taller male's face, each detail.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Nick remained silent though he nodded in agreement with her. Looking down to his food, he took a few more bites before looking to her and putting his fork down. "You know you can trust me. I'd rather harm myself before even thinking about hurting you like you have been in the past. I don't want you to think of me just like everyone else because I'm not like them. I care about you, not what I can get out of you. I care about your personality. That sweet, adorable side you show 24/7. Especially when you blush," he said softly as he waited nervously for her response.

 

[FadingDaisies]

The struggle was real. So, so many different choices leaving him with one painful decision to make. Finally, Reese gave in to the idea of having his eggs fried with bacon and some slightly burnt toast. It sounded amazing, to be honest. His stomach grumbled in annoyance to the fact that it was nearly the afternoon and only now was he feeding his hunger. Looking around a cute blonde with an even cuter smile showing across her face. It would have been foolish for any guy to ignore such a beautiful find but then again she seemed fairly familiar. Putting a charming smile onto his face, R makes his way to where Olivia and Nick were sitting. "Excuse me miss, you seem awfully familiar." He said in a fairly gentle though deep voice. His eyes flicking over her face showing a bit of interest. He had never noticed someone quite so pretty although it also seemed that she was with someone. Looking to Nick, he smiles nodding his head. "Hello to you also." He told him politely.

Olivia nods, "I know, it's just hard. I trust you, but at the same time I just can't let my wall down. It's finally done building." She frowns knowing that it's aggravating to deal with someone as insecure as she, but on her part it's not her fault. Olivia's attention turns towards the familiar guy's voice. "Reese?" She smiles slightly then scoots over. "Why don't you sit? It's been a while." She then looks back to Nick and mouths the words sorry; just in case he wasn't comfortable in this situation.
