Meet Me At Rosy's (phanfiction university au)

Chapter 2

An older girl came through to my room to tell me that club sign ups and fraternity sign ups were starting right then. After she left, Dan came into my room.
"Want to go look at the dumb clubs they have and make fun of them?" He asked quickly.
"Hell yeah I do!" I rocked forward to get off my bed and jumped into his medium speed pace. We arrived at the fair which was as already super crowded.
"Hey, want to join a fraternity because we're obnoxious jocks who catcall girls and have rich parents who give us money any time we need it?!" Dan said in a mocking tone and I laughed. "But seriously let's check out the clubs they have." I nodded and we slowly walked down the corridor of booths occasionally pulling the other by the wrist to make fun of the club or sorority or fraternity. Dan made me really happy, and I was surprised that I had already made a good friend in my first day at Uni.
"Hey," I pointed out. "A film club! I like film making and stuff like that, want to check it out?" Dan followed me to the booth with two girls and two boys explaining what the club was all about. Making short films and learning more about the art, and then entering them in a contest to win a prize.
"Dan," I pulled on his arm. "I want to join. Do you want to, too?"
"Ah not really," He shrugged. "Film isn't really my thing. But go ahead! It seems fun."
I asked a girl with light pink hair tied in a braid about joining the club, and knowing I had no other activities, signed up. The days they met were on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm.
I left the stand and joined Dan again. "I'm really excited to make a film." I told him with a grin.
"I can't wait to see it!" Dan continued to walk and I did the same. "Yours will probably win. So do you partner up or something to make the films? Or is it an individual thing?"
"They assign partners as a way for us to meet new people," I told him.
We walked by more stands and cracked jokes along the way when Dan stopped. A music booth stood in the corner and as if hypnotized, Dan went to it.
"I-I like to play piano and a little bit of drums. This will give me something to do to pass time, and it sounds fun." He concluded after listening to the leader tell him about it. "It meets the same time your club does."
"Sounds great!" I beamed. "Want to head back? I'm getting bored."
"Yeah sure just let me sign up." Dan put his name on the list and we stalked back to our rooms in the fading sunlight.
"Want to-uh- get some, um, maybe I don't know, coffee or something tomorrow?" I stuttered. It could have been taken in a friendly way, or in a more of a date way. I preferred the date way, but would just want any way to spend time with him.
"Totally!" Dan grinned. "It's a date!" We arrived at our dorm rooms and said our good nights before closing the door. I sighed and sat on my bed. Dan opened my door which made me jump.
"So what time for coffee tomorrow?" He asked.
"Since we don't have classes, maybe 10:00 am? I can pick you up at your door." I reply.
"Great," A smile spread on Dan's face. He closed the door and I leaned back in my bed groaning.
"You okay mate?" Ben asked me. I didn't even know he was there.
"Oh," I started awkwardly. "Just... Dating problems and stuff with b-girls," I corrected myself quickly.
"Okay, well tell me if you need advice of any kind. I'm here for you." He managed a supportive smile and turned back to the papers on his desk. What kind of work could he be doing this early in the year? I thought.
I flicked the light that supported the whole room off, knowing that Ben had his desk lamp on. The time was only 10:00, but it had been a long day and I wanted to be aware of everything I would say the next morning on the date or whatever he wanted to call it.
My blue eyes were soon covered like a blanket by my eyelids.
