School started in August. And this particular weekend takes place sometime in September, right before we went home for break.
Now let me explain who Fray is. He was in one of my beginning classes, that went over college life and to help us get situated. He was one of the first few people I met and became friends with.
Chandler? Well. He was not in the freshman class with us. He is one of the people in our LARP group though. Kind of like one of the "teachers" who taught us how to fight and block.

It was around 9 p.m. and I was just chilling in my bed, enjoying being in my shorts and tank top, since it was hot as hell everywhere.
My roommate announced she was going to shower and I nodded in acknowledgement.
And then I got a text from Fray.
Not for the first time.
Fray: want to get Subway with me?
Again, not the first time we'd be doing this, especially as late as we were.
Me: he yeah! Meet outside yours?
Fray: yup.
Subway is right down the street from the campus, and Fray's dorm was across campus from me. And there was no way I was walking all the way there by myself.
I put some sweat pants on, and grabbed a jacket to cover the fact that I wasn't wearing a bra. I made sure to grab my wallet, or else I would be stuck outside of my dorm. Texted my roommate to let her know I dipped for food and to not be alarmed when I got back later.
I walked to Fray's and together we went to Subway. Where we got some food and talked in a group chat we were in with our LARP group.
After we ate, Fray asked me to go back to his. It was a little after 10 p.m.
"Hell no. I have 8 a.m.'s every morning. And you know this." I told him.
"But you don't have to stay long!" He tried to persuade me.
"But I already have to go back to take medicine. And if I go back to mine, I don't want to walk back across campus." I reasoned.
But he didn't want to listen to reason. "Please? Just for a bit, I'll stop pestering you when it's around 11."
"Fine." And so we went to his.
And suddenly it's around 11 p.m. and I need medicine and to go back.
"Why don't you stay the night?"
"Fray, no."
"But why not?"
"I still have to go back! I need medicine. I have classes tomorrow. If I go back to my room, there's no way I'm coming back across campus unless you walk with me."
"Deal."
Why though. Just why. I really thought this would have deterred him. It was a wednesday night, I luckily had one class the next day. It really doesnt seem like that big of a deal.
But he went with me back to my dorm. I had him stay in the hallway while I packed a bag with clothes for tomorrow, my medicine, and my binder.
And we went back to his.
Only took me a minute back in his room to realize I forgot my shorts. And I hate sleeping in pants. I can't sleep in pants in the summer by myself, hell no with an extra person.
"Fraaaayyyyyy!"
"What now?" He asked, annoyed.
"I forgot shorts to sleep in," I told him.
