Ben's POV:
I watch Alexa leave with Sophie and then turn back to the guys.
"When are you taking Alexa back home?" Jackson asks, I look at him. "Probably tomorrow sometime. Then I'll probably stay with her tomorrow night and come back Monday, since I don't have class."
The guys nod. Jackson puts his hand on my shoulder, and I look at him, "i'm glad you worked up the courage to tell her, you seem happy," he says. I smile and nod, "me too, and I am."

Alexa's POV
Sophie uses the purple, blue and yellow paint to paint her body, with my help.
As I help her, we talk and get to know each other.
She's a med student, focusing in pediatrics. She's from a town closer to here and she's the same age as Ben and the guys. She has long, pretty blonde hair, blue eyes and is about my height.
All in all, she's gorgeous. She's also the only girl i've met so far that is actually nice and I can see being good friends with.
After she's done with the paint, we walk back to where the music is. We find the guys and drag them onto the dance floor.
Ben and the guys are dancing with us, making Sophie and I laugh at them. Ben seems so happy and I hope it stays that way. Watching him have fun with his friends is an amazing thing to see. He's dancing and joking with them like he doesn't have a care in the world.
I lock eyes with him every once in a while and smile at him as I dance with Sophie.
The night is filled with the four of us dancing, drinking, laughing and talking. Sophie and Dustin really hit it off and Sophie ends up coming back with us to stay with Dustin because her friends left and her dorm is across campus.
We get back and say goodnight.
When Ben and I finally lay down, i'm so exhausted. I cuddle close to him and close my eyes. The last thing I remember is Ben kissing my forehead and saying goodnight.
Before I know it, i'm asleep.
