While all freshmen normally feel nervous or intimidated on their first day on campus, Sean could not have felt more different. He was scouted in his junior year of high school to become the new quarterback for the school's slipping team, making him feel like the king of the world.
Sean hauled his duffel bags over his muscular shoulders and set off to find his dorm, passing numerous pretty girls along the way. He grinned but stopped and suddenly remembered how he was here at school, alone, without his girlfriend by his side. Tara had broken up with Sean at the beginning of the summer, only 2 weeks after prom. She said she didn't want a 'serious commitment' and then revealed she had been seeing another guy for a while. Being a mature man, Sean politely kicked her out of his life and wished her well.
Sean knew there wasn't a reason for him to be sad anymore. It was the beginning of a new chapter. He worked out non-stop over the summer break and at 6'2" with his summer tan, blond hair, and blue eyes, he was in the best shape of his life. He continued on, smiling and even winking at a few girls as he continued into one of the dorms to find his room.
When he entered the room, it was exactly as he pictured it and it looked just like the way they make them look in the movies. His roommate hadn't gotten there yet so he claimed the bed on the right side of the room, closer to the window.
At that moment, the door opened again and in walked his roommate with two girls in tow, giggling and laughing.
"Oh hey, you must be Sean! I'm Trey and these are two of my friends."
"How's it going? Nice to meet you all." Sean scanned the girls - one of them was petite blond and wearing a long t-shirt that was practically see through to a skimpy bikini underneath. He was confused. They weren't anywhere near a beach.
"Do you want some help?" Sean's thoughts were cut short as he also realized he was probably staring a bit too much. The brunette piped up as she motioned towards Trey's bags.
"It's ok. You girls have helped me carry everything up here.. I need to feel like a man. I'll catch up with you ladies later after I get to know my new roommate."
Trey ushered the girls out of the room and somehow pulled out two cold beers from one of his bags. He handed one to Sean as they both sat down at the empty desks and started getting to know each other.
Turns out that Trey was from New York, only a few hours away from where Sean grew up. After they finished three more beers, Trey pulled out a joint and asked Sean if he ever indulged.
"I better not..."
"Why? You're young. Nobody will know. We'll open the window."
"I might be drug tested..."
"What? Are you some kind of ex con or something?"
"No no, I'm the new quarterback for the football team and I already missed August training because I was injured. But I need to start training again soon and I don't want to get caught for something like smoking pot. I'll lose my scholarship."
