FRESHMEN YEAR

Subject: Star Status

Dare I ask how many women you've attempted to sleep with since you've started the semester? If I see another commenter on Facebook talk about how "sexy" you are on your profile picture, I will scream. (Why are you using that picture of us anyway? And what the hell is up with that CAPTION???!!)

The word "attempt" implies that I actually have to try to sleep with someone here. I don't. You're only upset because none of the commenters are leaving compliments about you. (I like that picture of us in eleventh grade. No one will ever know what "Beat her to it...Best twenty dollars I ever won" means...)

I put my phone away and focused on the girl who was sitting at my table.

Earlier today, she'd claimed to have no idea who I was, but the first question out of her mouth was, "Do you think you'll go pro after college?"

Hell no... "Anything is possible," I'd responded. "I'm only focusing on the present."

Now, our main conversation points were all used up, and I was just waiting for her to get to the inevitable ending for our night.

"So..." she said. "When you're not hanging out with your basketball friends, who do you hang out with?"

"Myself, really," I said. "I don't really have time for much else."

She frowned and stood up, moving so she could sit right next to me. "That's so sad...You don't have any real friends? People outside of your teammates?"

"Not at the moment, but I'm sure I'll make some eventually."

"Why not start with me?" She bit her lip and rubbed my thigh under the table. "As a matter of fact, I think you and me can be best friends."

"Becoming best friends takes a lot of time." My cock hardened as she caressed it through my pants. "I'm not sure I'll have much of that when the season starts."

"You have to sleep somewhere at night, right?" She bit her lip again. "I'll be there for you whenever you need me...Want me to show you how good it could be, future best friend?"

"I would." I smiled. "Tell me when."

"Tonight?"

"Tonight works."

"Okay." Satisfied with my answer, she smiled wider and got up. "I'm going to tell my friends I'm leaving. You think you'll be ready to go by the time I get back?"

"Most definitely."

She blushed and walked away, and I signaled to the waitress for the check. Then I pulled out my phone, noticing another email from Lili.

Subject: Scheduling Time.

Now that you're 
going to be a huge basketball star, I guess I'll have to start making appointments to come see you. How far out into the year are you booked with groupies? Or do I need to go through your "people" for things like this?

Rolling my eyes, Lili

You wouldn't have to make appointments to see me at all if you'd chosen to go to a closer school. You hate snow and rain, so you should've never agreed to go the University of Seoul.

I know...Which is why I just transferred. Well, THAT and other stupid things...Ugh. I know it's sad that I only lasted a month, but I couldn't stand the dreariness, and that professor I was adamant about learning from? Apparently, he got this huge book deal before the semester started and is stepping down from teaching for two years so he can finish it.
