New Beginnings

Chapter Four

Chapter 4:

The weekend was too short for anyone's liking and soon all of them were back in class. Tobin and JJ complained about their morning English class, Christen and Alex worked out their Chem assignments inbetween their soccer practices, Kelley bounced around campus talking to everyone it felt like.

"Party. You, me, and anyone else you want to invite." Kelley said bursting into her and Alex's room.

Alex looked up from her book and raised an eyebrow, "What?"

"I ran into Christen and she said that one of the soccer girls' boyfriends is throwing a party tonight and that all soccer players are invited automatically so that's you. Then she also said friends are allowed to come so that's me." She quickly explained, snatching Alex's book and tossing it on the desk, "Come on, it's college. Let's have fun!

"You do realize it's a Thursday and we have class tomorrow. Right?"

Kelley jumped practically on top of her and pouted her lips, "Please, we could find some cute boys or girls. Whatever's your preference."

Laughing, Alex pushed Kelley off of her and nodded in agreement, "Fine fine fine. We'll go. I'm gonna text Tobin and see if she wants to come or invite anyone."

Hey down for a party tonight? -Alex

Are you asking me out on a date? ;) just kidding I'm in. Who's is it? -Tobs

Some soccer girl's boyfriend according to Kelley. You can invite anyone else if you want. I'll stop by your dorm at 9ish. -Alex

Ight, see ya later. -Tobs

"Tobin is in. We're stopping by her dorm around 9. What time is it?"

"Um 3:30 so we got time. You can go back to your book now."

Alex smirked and grabbed it off the desk, "Thank you."

Tobin was walking to go get a quick snack when she saw JJ walking in her direction, "Hey JJ!"

"Oh hey Tobin. Have you started that English essay yet?" She asked.

The comment made Tobin laugh cause she is such a procrastinator, "No not at all. But anyways wanna go to a party tonight?"

"Sure, text me the details?"

"Yeah I will. See ya tonight then." Tobin smiled while walking away."

"Okay and remember to do that English paper!" JJ called out.

Alex and Kelley started to get ready around 8:30 for the party since honestly neither one was trying to impress anyone. Kelley opted to go with leggings with a white shirt and a jean jacket, topped with a pair of high top converses. Alex went with a short, white dress and black flats. When it got closer to nine, Alex told Kelley that she was going to get Tobin and stepped out of their room, walking a few doors down to Tobin's. Knocking a couple times, Alex could hear Tobin moving towards the door and quickly it swung open. Caught off guard, she swore her breath caught in her throat and heat was radiating off her skin. Almost like an impulse, Alex trapped her bottom lip into between her teeth as Tobin stood in front of her wearing a short sleeve, maroon button down with a pair of dark-colored skinny jeans and brown combat boots.

"What?" Tobin asked in confusion as Alex practically stared, "not a good outfit choice?"

Alex snapped her eyes to meet Tobin's, "No no, you look fantastic-I mean great-fine. You look fine."
