Chapter 8

"Magnetic, everything about you. You really got me now."

(Raine's POV)

If my first day of school could go down in history as one of the most awkward, uncomfortable, and boring first days of school ever, it would. It's not only that my classes are painfully uninteresting, but it's also that the people in them probably want to bore me to death. It's never happened, not once, where I haven't made a friend, or at least had a conversation throughout the entire day. Unfortunately, there's a first time for everything.

Now, as I drag my textbook filled book bag to my dorm, I'm surprised when I open the door to see that my very lovely roommate is not alone. There is, and I'm saying this with no exaggeration, a man completely naked on her bed. She's working on taking her shirt off, but once she sees me, her eyes widen.

"Fuck," she mumbles, her cheeks burning a deep read. The guy grabs her blanket and uses it to cover his lap. My lips can't help but turn up into a smirk at the sight.

"I didn't realize you had company," I say, setting my bag down. "I'm just gonna grab my wallet and be out of your hair."

"Raine - "

"No, no," I smile at a scandalized Anaya. "Continue. Really, I'm leaving anyway."

For the first time, Anaya looks truly embarrassed, and the guy on her bed just has a sly smirk plastered on his lips as he covers his face with his hands, chuckling.

"Aren't you in my English class?" I ask, my eyes widening when I recognize him.

"Uh, yeah. Raine, right?"

"Yeah! I'm sorry, what's your name?"

"Raine," Anaya whines, her eyes wide. "Get out."

"It's Sam," he smiles charmingly at me, not at all ashamed that he's completely naked in my room.

"Nice to meet you," I wink at him, then grab my coat and turn towards the door. "Anaya, next time you're having sex, put a sticky note on the door. I won't disturb."

"Thanks, mom," she scoffs. "Get out."

At her very polite command, I leave the room, locking the door behind me. Even though I'm sure they're definitely not in the same mood to finish what they're doing, it managed to make my day. Since I didn't exactly have anything else planned for the day, I decide to visit Kai's dorm.

Chase opens the door after I've knocked on, and once he sees me, he smiles wide.

"Raine," he moves aside, letting me in. "How's your first day of freshman year?"

"Boring," I sigh, waving back at Colt who waved at me from the living room. "Kai around?"

"Yeah, he's in the basement. You know where it is, right?"

"Yeah, thanks." I smile at him, and when I make it to the basement, I realize he isn't alone. Zayn is also there, but he's not working out, he's sitting on the couch with a book in his hand, glasses on the bridge of his nose that make my knees go weak.
