Chapter 1

Nate

After the big game, we all headed back to campus for some fun partying. My head was dizzy from excitement. 

The party was in full swing, being around all these people got me so pumped. In my excitement, I bumped into someone. 

He gave me a cold glare, and turned away from me. 

"Sorry" I said but it couldn't be heard over the sound of the music. 

I tore my gaze away from the guy I bumped into and moved towards the kitchen. People were drinking and smoking all around. I took a drink and sipped watching everyone come to life. My teammates were getting wasted. 

Jackson, my best friend ran up to me and put his arm around me.

"We're gonna fucking crush it."

"Hell yeah"

I threw back another drink, and laughed as he stumbled away from me. I mixed and mingled with different people before I spotted the guy I bumped into earlier.

He was sitting on the couch looking at his phone. 

"Hey" 

He looked up at me and scowled, "What do you want?"

"Sorry for bumping into you earlier"

He snorted "I'll try not to be in your way next time."

"Don't be like that man, I said sorry."

He nodded "Ok, apology accepted." 

He turned back to his phone, and I gave him a closer look. He had short dark hair, brown skin and dark eyes. 

He looked back up and his eyes narrowed. "Don't you have somewhere else to be"

"I was just wondering why you're here."

He let out a laugh "I'm so sorry, I didn't realize I wasn't allowed to be here. I'll be on my way then."

"No, I just meant it doesn't seem to be your kind of scene."

"Oh really? What exactly is my scene?"

I frowned "Look, I'm not trying to be an asshole."

He smirked "No? you're doing an excellent job at it."

"You just don't seem like the type to go to parties."

The guy stood up and he was tall, not quite my height but close. He was lean, but I wasn't about to underestimate him in case he threw a punch. 

He got right in my face, and stared straight at me. 

"If you don't want me here, just say it."

"It's not that, can we start over please." 

"Fuck you, you think just because you're some big football star everyone has to suck your dick." 

He shoved me harder than I expected and I toppled over, I hit the ground hard. 

I moved to get up, he stood ready to fight. 

"I don't want to fight"

I noticed people were staring at us, I lowered my hands and put a hand out. 

He rolled his eyes

"Forget this, I'm out of here." 

He turned and walked off, I watched as he left and sat back down. I knew people had probably recorded it and posted it on instagram. 

I sighed and sat on the nearby couch.
