I sat in my towel on the bed, kicking my feet, when I heard the door open. Ryan clutched a white v-neck and a pair of Adidas sweatpants.
"These are for you," he replied as he held them out towards me.
I took them from him and slid them on slowly. After I finished getting dressed I stood up.
"I should get going," I stared to my feet. Then looked up at Ryan. He nodded. I walked past him and through the door. Downstairs I could hear the boys talking.
"....yeah last night.." I heard one voice say.
"Who's room?" said another.
"Um I'm not sure.." The first voice replied. Then a third voice piped up after a long pause.
"It was my room."
The guys laughed.
"Why didn't he just use his?" The second voice asked.
"He shares a room with Cooper, you dipshit." The first voice stated.
"Yeah.. Not much of a roommate though" a fourth voice joined the conversation. I assumed this was Cooper.
"Why hasn't the girl left yet?" The third voice started, "I kind of want my room back."
"Maybe he's at round two-" the first voice started. The second voice cut in.
"-or he is just being sappy, stretching the moment to make us pissed."
I assumed they were talking about me and I was bored of the conversation so I stomped down the stairs. I was sure to make an entrance. I stomped through the living room, where they were having their conversation, and into the kitchen. Making sure I didn't make eye contact with any of the boys. When I got to the kitchen I heard whispers, I couldn't make out the entire conversation but what I did here was very clear.
"was that-"
"yes I think."
"didn't you-"
"- did."
"Aren't you-"
"-yeah."
The final words were followed by a long serious of loud footsteps up the stairs followed by an argument that everyone could here and I had wished I hadn't.
"YOU FUCKED HER IN MY ROOM?"
Someone laughed, "You mad?"
"WHAT THE HELL?"
"I'm just messing with you man"
"THIS IS TOO FUCKING FAR."
A door slammed and the rest of the conversation was muffled.
I grabbed a banana and walked into the living room, placing myself neatly on the floor. Glancing around I smiled at the boys. There was Cooper, Dan, and Bryce.
"Hi boys." I said.
"Uh-" Dan started.
"-well" Bryce said.
"-hey there?" Cooper finished their sentences.
I laughed. They turned to themselves as if asking questions through their gazes. Bryce nodded a couple times and so did Dan, Cooper also added into the conversation by saying "No I don't think so" and "damn." Many glances were cast down to me as I ate my banana in unknowing peace.
Two sets of feet paraded down the stairs. They walked behind the couch into the kitchen. I didn't care to turn around. I heard the freezer open and something that sounded like ice, was put into a bag. Then the two boys heavy footedly walked into the living room. This time I turned. I stopped chewing my banana and dropped the remaining piece of fruit I had in my hand. Ryan's eye was bright red and swollen, his fist was bleeding and so was his nose. His eyebrow had a cut across it. Apparently it was a big deal that he had sex with me in someone else's room. I didn't understand until I looked to see the other guy. His knuckles were red and they matched the pattern in Ryan's face. I expected there would be bruising on both ends of the fight. He had a small cut along his chin and a bright red mark on his cheek. Both boys' hair was disheveled and their clothing hung on them messily. I stood up and glared at them both. Pausing as much as I could on Ryan then turning to the other guy. Charlie.
