That first week, the two of us were inseparable. Every night we would take a walk and end up in our normal spot beneath a willow tree overlooking the road.
We talked about everything. Families, the future, movies. Everything except the fact that he had a girlfriend and we were clearly attracted to each other.
Every night we would find some excuse to touch each other some way. Usually we would end up laying across each other looking up at the sky.
I wasn't trying to be that girl, but we just fit together and I guess that was my justification.
Later the next week the rest of the student swarmed campus. We had one last weekend before classes and we were hoping to make it count.
The majority of the team went out to a house party. The music was loud. Everyone was sweaty and the drinks were flowing. This wasn't my first time drinking but I was still a cheap drunk and sooner than I realized I was feeling extra good.
One of the upperclassman that everyone called Jones started to hang around me. He was alright looking, definitely my normal settling type. He was nice and funny. The rest of the night we spent together cutting up and hanging off of each other. He finally kissed me towards the end of the night and it didn't take much to convince me to go back with him. We made out of him bed while he played with my nipples and fingered me. In my drunken state it felt amazing but I wasn't ready to have sex with and random guy at this point.I ended up falling asleep in his arms.
That next morning we woke up go half the team parading through his room cheering for us. It was mortifying. After breakfast, Jones walked me back to my room. He kissed me hard and told me that he really liked him and wanted to hang out again. I agreed, although not fully convinced abs headed back inside wondering if Mark had found out yet.
I slept off my hangover most of the day, ate a cringeworthy dinner with the team chatting all around us about Jones and I. I knew that Mark had to have known about it now. The anxiety swirled around my head
'He has a girlfriend! I didn't do anything wrong!'
'What if he doesn't want anything to do with me now?'
I didn't want to bring it up. Jones and I weren't dating. We had just made out. It's fine.
Later that night I was watching a movie when I get a text
Mark: walk?
My heart almost leaped out of my chest. I had to force myself to chill for a second before texting back "yea meet you downstairs in 5"
