Friday morning was pretty much the exact same as every other morning so far, wake up way before my alarm, thanks Oaklyn (eyeroll), get ready and head to either the cafe or the cafeteria. Today was a cafeteria today because I was absolutely starving.
The breakfast buffet was the best when you needed a little bit more in the mornings, the smell alone made my stomach rumble. Oaklyn was in her pram looking around happily while I filled our tray up with some breakfast foods. I grabbed some pancakes, fruit and some cereal for Oaklyn and also made myself a coffee at the coffee station before sitting down at a vacant table, there was a lot of them so I picked the closest one.
"Could have told me you were coming down so early" I look up from giving Oaklyn some mashed up cereal to see Lucas taking a seat across from me with his own tray of food. "I didn't think you would be awake" I tell him as I look over towards the food area to see the other guys getting their food.
"We all play sport, of course we're up this early" he said with a laugh. During the week I had learnt more about the football and baseball schedules, they all had to wake up super bloody early and either have a practice session or workout, I also learnt that Jake was apart of their friendship group which was a surprise to me.
So when he came and sat down with the other four boys I wasn't surprised. "Morning" I great them all with a small smile as I pass Oaklyn over to Bailey who was giving me the 'gimme' look. "Morning baby girl" I smile and listen to Bailey coo at Oaklyn from beside me as I continue to eat my breakfast, occasionally reminding Bailey to feed the baby and not just play with her.
Over the course of the week I've grown close to the guys, and it felt nice to have somebody in my corner apart from my parents. With me growing close to the guys, so has Oaklyn, she absolutely loves the guys and hates having to leave them at the end of the day. She of course has her favourite and as you can probably guess it was Bailey. Don't tell anybody, but he was also my favourite out of the six guys. Shhh.
"What do you have on today?" Bailey asked as he leant over slightly so I could hear him over the others conversation. "I only have one class today, sports medicine" I tell him and he nodded "what about you?" I question and he shrugged his shoulders.
"I've got nothing today" I frown at what he said, how could he not have any classes but then I remember he was on a sports scholarship so he barely had to attend any classes. Lucky.
"Hey, did you want me to take Oaklyn for you while you're in class?" "I really don't mind, I swear and besides it'll only be for an hour" Bailey added when I immediately went to decline his offer. I think it over for a moment before slowly nodding my head.

Class went by fast, it was different not having the tend to a baby during the lesson but it was nice being able to give all my attention to the lesson. During the class Bailey gave me constant updates on what they were doing, even sending me multiple photos which made my heart melt, most of them were of Oaklyn by herself but some also had Bailey in them and my heart nearly exploded at the cuteness.
At one point Bailey messaged and asked what size Oaklyn was, once I replied to him he wouldn't tell me why he needed to know that information. I mean he could have just checked the size on the clothes she was wearing but he was a guy so he probably didn't know.
"Look it's mumma" Bailey said as he turned Oaklyn around in his arms so she could see me. She squealed happily and made grabby hands towards me. I smile and happily take her in my arms and give her kisses all over her face which made her squeal and wriggle in my arms.
I stop kissing Oaklyn and turn to Bailey to see he was smiling at the two of us. "How was she?" I question as I bounce Oaklyn in my arms. "She was on her best behaviour, weren't you princess?" Oaky giggled at Bailey and made grabby hands to him, I pout as Bailey happily took the baby back into his arms. I wasn't even her favourite anymore.
"So I found out from George that you guys have a football game tonight" Bailey nodded his head and bounced Oaklyn up and down as she started to get fussy.
"Yeah it's at seven, did you want to go?" Bailey questioned and I shrug my shoulders, I haven't been to a football game yet and I didn't know how it would go with Oak.
"If you're worried about Oaklyn, Lucas and Tim will be there and I'm sure they'll happily help"
Turns out I didn't get a say in if we attended or not because at six at night there was a knock on my door. I was currently giving Oaklyn a bath so I shout out "who is it?"
"Your best friend" I roll my eyes at the sound of Lucas' voice. "Come in" a moment later two sets of footsteps were heard in my dorm. "I'm in here" I call out to lucas and I'm assuming Tim. Sure enough both boys enter my surprisingly spacious bathroom.
Oaklyn caught site of the two baseball players and started squealing and splashing in delight. "Why aren't you ready?" Tim questioned as he noticed my attire which consisted of black tights and an oversized sweatshirt.
"Because it's night time?" I question back as I grab a towel and lift Oaklyn out of the shallow water and begin drying her. "We were giving strict instructions to bring you two to the game" I roll my eyes knowing Bailey had something to do with this.
"We aren't going" I tell them both as we all walk towards my bedroom where I laid Oaklyn down on the bed and continued drying her before putting a fresh nappy on her.
"That's funny, we're going" I roll my eyes yet again at Lucas before he threw something towards me, I quickly catch it to see it was a paper UCLA bag. I raise an eyebrow and peak inside the bag. In that moment it all made sense, this is why Bailey wanted to know Oaklyn's size.
Inside the brown paper bag was a blue and gold sleeper suit. I pull it out of the bag to see Bailey had gotten it personalised with his number and last name on it. It was the cutest thing ever.
"See now you have to go" Tim said with a laugh as he played with Oaklyn. "Fine" I huff and get Oaklyn dressed in the sleeper, I was actually relieved it was a sleeper and not an outfit seeing as we were going to be out past bed time so she could easily sleep in this.
To add a girly touch to the outfit I put a gold bow in her hair. "I also got these for her" I look at Lucas to see he had a pair of pink baby ear protector muffs in his hand. I smile and thank him before packing the diaper bag with everything we needed for the game, that included some hot water in a thermos so I could make a bottle.
Ten minuets later I was sandwiched between Lucas and Tim on the shuttle bus that took students from the college campus to the football stadium. Tim was happily holding Oaklyn in his lap who was loving the attention from all the other students on the shuttle.
It seemed like everybody was going to the game because the shuttle was absolutely packed and there were more students waiting for the next one. After getting into the stadium, which we thankfully didn't have to pay for we headed towards the student section where we quickly found some seats and waited for the game to start.
