The Initiation

Chapter Four

"You better tell me the reason why you're grinning like an idiot."

"I have no idea what you're talking about." I laughed, trying to push Bryn out of the way, since she was guarding the hallway, making sure I wasn't able to get to my room.

"I didn't know it took three hours to get back to the dorms from the party, because it only took Harry and I about ten minutes." She raised her eyebrow, eyeing me suspiciously.

"Oh, so you and Harry now?" I quickly took this opportunity to change the subject away from Niall and I.

As if she read my mind, she clicked her tongue and shook her head, still blocking the damn hallway.

"Bug off. I see what you're trying to do, and it's not working. Don't change the subject, tell me everything that happened."

I rolled my eyes, but complied. I sat myself on the floor and watched Bryn mimic my actions. Bryn's round, chocolate brown eyes awaited for my explanation.

I spilled everything from what Niall and I did. From the incredibly awkward car ride to our kiss. I rambled on about what we talked about, the truth or dare game and also our little swimming incident.

"I just have never really felt this way before. It's hard to explain." I paused, not knowing where I was going with my explanation. "I know, I know, it's the first night I have ever been with him, but it just felt different." I sighed, looking over to my new roommate, hoping she didn't think I was as a pathetic as I sounded.

"I see where you're coming from, you just have to wait it out and see where it goes." Bryn shrugged, giving me a bit of advice. "Hey, at least you had fun tonight, am I right?"

"Yeah." I dropped my head, feeling my cheeks burn.

"I mean, two guys in one night? You better have had fun." Her smile spreading as she playfully shoved me.

"It was our first college party, I just had to go full out. Plus, the curly-haired one is a freak in the sheets. He definitely started my year out with a bang, if I do say so myself." I teased Bryn, knowing she had a bit of a crush on our new friend, Harry. Her smile dropped, and her eyes narrowed.

"Speaking of Harry, why the hell are you here? Weren't you guys supposed to be at his place?"

"Well, that was the plan all along, but your lovely roommate wanted to spend her first night of college in the dorms. Trust me, Hannah, B and I would be freaking in my sheets if she didn't insist on wanting the full experience of college." Harry's head popped out of Bryn's bedroom door, his dimples full on display.

"Well, it was either spending the night in our clean, cozy dorm, or spending it in a disgusting, sweaty frat house full of horny, college boys."

"I am honored to say I am one of those horny, college boys." Harry proudly smiled.

"Of course you are." Bryn rolled her eyes and huffed.

"He is quite the charmer, isn't he? Definitely a keeper." Sarcasm clear in my voice.

Harry walked over to where Bryn and I were seated, and sat rather closely to Bryn.

"Don't worry, sweetheart. I'll make sure to tell Niall you think he's quite charming too." He winked, lightly chuckling to himself.

"Please tell me you didn't eavesdrop on our whole conversation?" I gaped at the cheeky bastard, who was quite entertained watching me in my distraught state.

"Sorry, love. You are quite a loud talker. Plus, I do love a bit of gossip."

"Fuck you."

"That's Bryn's job, not yours." Harry smirked, and rose to his feet. He offered his hand out to Bryn, who gladly accepted it, her face still decorated red due to Harry's retort. "C'mon babe, you should probably go to sleep."

"Oh my god, we have class tomorrow." Panic flooded through my body, realizing I was nowhere near ready for the next day. "What time is it?"

Bryn slipped her phone out of the back pocket of her jeans. Opening up her phone, her eyes quickly widened.

"Two in the morning."

I silently cursed to myself and mumbled a goodnight to the new love birds before I rushed to my room and prepared myself for all of my classes.

"How the hell is she still sleeping?" A deep voice boomed, scaring me a bit.

"I threw a shoe at her and she didn't even stir." A voice chirped, responding to the other person in the room. I was too exhausted to open my eyes and see who was talking, so I just kept pretending to sleep, hoping they would just leave and not disrupt my slumber.

"I have an idea." Whoever it was, I could hear the shoes shuffling closer to my bed. I waited, still faking that I was asleep, until a wet finger slid into my ear causing me to squeal and fly off my bed. My eyes were quickly opened, revealing Harry and Louis with smug grins plastered on their faces.

"What the fuck?"

"Awe, is Hannah too tired to go to class? Did Niall keep you up at night? I told him to wait until the second date to sleep with you, but apparently the rabbit sex couldn't wait, could it?" Louis egged on. I threw the covers over my head, trying to block them out. Soon there were fingers poking at me, my hair was being pulled and my feet were also being tugged.

"Could you both knock it off?" My patience was running thin with the two of them, and they knew it.

"Well, we have to wake you up. Don't kill us, but we were supposed to wake you up an hour ago." Harry spoke quietly, not looking me in the eyes.

"I wanted breakfast, so I picked up Harry and we just left, forgetting you were here. If I were you, I'd get up and get ready because you look like a mess. Plus, rumor has it your first class is with a blonde headed boy that you've come pretty close with since last night, and if you stay looking the way you are, he is going to rethink his decision of wanting to sleep with you." Louis insulted me, making me throw a pillow straight to his head.

"You're annoying and a bitch. I can definitely see why Niall has an interest in you." Louis grunted and exited the room, leaving Harry looking clueless before scurrying off to follow his fringe-haired friend.

I rubbed my hand on my face and hair and cringed. My hair felt like a rats nest, I felt bad for the boys to see me like this. I rolled to the side and looked at my clock, realizing I only had 30 minutes to get ready. This could be long enough for someone to get ready but I am the slowest person.

I was about to jump out the door when I realized I had absolutely no ride whatsoever. Realizing I lived in the dorms, I decided on walking even though I was wearing a tight, short sleeved shirt and I was nervous I would sweat, it was the only option I had.

Crossing the street, a vintage car honked at me. I looked to see who the driver was just so I could see their face before I knock them out. It was Harry. Of course.
