Embarrass myself in front of the hottest guy on the planet? Check that off my list.
-Alan-
“Where were you?!” Tino sounded outraged at my absence and threw his hands up in the air. “I looked everywhere, and Aaron couldn’t find you either!” He motioned to the man sitting on the couch.
“I’m Aaron.” A guy with light brown hair swept to one side of his face stood up. He had been sitting next to a brunette girl. “And this is Amanda.”
“And how was Aaron supposed to be looking for me if he didn’t know what I look like?”
“Facebook, I stalked your profile, and-”
“He yelled. A bit of an exaggerator that one. He thought you had been kidnapped.”
“Well, I kind of was.”
“WHAT?” Tino yelled
“Are you on drugs?” I turned to Tino and looked into his eyes.
“Coffee” Amanda offered, “he’s had enough to kill someone.”
“WHO TOOK YOU?” Tino was still yelling
“Me.” a voice said from the door.
Tino and Aaron turned around, speechless. Wow, so apparently Austin Carlile is attractive enough to leave both genders speechless.
“What do you want?” I turned on my heel and snapped at him. I didn’t mean to, I was just on edge from all the events of today.
“Ooh, touchy, I like” Austin smirked, “just came to tell you that you left your backpack in my room” he handed me my bag “I didn’t look through it though, don’t worry.”
I hadn’t even thought that a possibility. What if he has seen my medicine? He would label me as a freak, no doubt about it. What kind of person needs pills to deal with his life?
I did.
I just wish I didn’t have to take them.
“Thanks” I said, attempting to dismiss him. Instead, he just looked around the room. His eyes seemed to focus on almost every detail in the room, before settling back on me as he stepped back out into the hallway.
“Oh! I almost forgot!” Austin said. He pulled a sharpie from his pocket and scribbled a combination of numbers across my palm before blowing on it. I felt that breeze all the way down to my toes.
“There. Just in case the kitten can’t find his way home.”
“Cute.”
“Thank you.” He winked and walked out the door.
I turned around to face Tino, Aaron and Amanda.
Amanda was sitting there, making some kind of squeaking noise. Other than that, you wouldn’t have been able to tell she was alive. Finally, some words left her mouth:
“Dang” she whispered.
“HEY!” Aaron yelled.
“Sorry babe, but he is pretty damn fine” Amanda smiled to herself.
Aaron turned to look at me “I can’t believe you were kidnapped by Austin Carlile. I’ve never seen him outside of baseball games or class, he’s always surrounded by his entourage.”
Entourage? I’d only ever heard that word from my extensive experience of Netflix watching. Didn’t that mean he had people around him all the time? Weird, because when I had run into him, he was completely alone.
“He’s our RA” I said.
“SHUT UP! I’m so jealous.”
“Good to know how I compare to the god, darling”
“Be quiet, you aren’t even in the same league as Austin Carlile” She laughed playfully.
Carlile? Why did his name sound so familiar all of the sudden?
I studied Amanda and Aaron. They were cute. I could tell I would like Aaron. “Am I supposed to know who Austin Carlile is?”
“Where have you been?” Aaron asked.
“Winfield” I said without a hint of sarcasm in my voice.
“Huh?”
“Small town” I muttered.
“I thought you said they have TV where you lived?” Tino questioned.
“I do, I watched Netflix and got magazines from the corner store whenever they were available.” I defended myself.
“Holy shit, you lived in the fifties” Tino laughed.
“Shut up Tino” I joked. But he wasn’t listening, he was busy typing something into his phone. A second later, he showed the screen to me. Oh. Austin has an IMDb website. Not a good sign, that screamed entertainment industry. And there it was. The Forbes article had been done around two years ago. Around the time of the accident. I hadn’t been very social then. I specifically remember Uncle Jo threatening to kick me out if I didn’t leave my room. I tapped the screen, making the image bigger. His hair was longer back then. He looked… happier.
I kept reading his IMDb profile, and realized that his dad was one of the richest men in the world.
“He moved from New York to Santa Barabara when he was eight. He’s like a hybrid.” Aaron said, taking the phone from my hands, “Austin Carlile is like two months away from inheriting a multi billion dollar fortune.”
“Why is he our RA then?” I wondered aloud.
“Punishment for many sins. Because when you’re the son of one of the richest men in the world, you don’t sin in silence. The whole planet sees you for what you really are.”
“What you really are? What did he do?”
“Allegedly raped a girl.”
Fuck. I thought he was gay?
“The details are a bit fuzzy, he was dating the girl and she dumped him and he forced himself onto her? No one really knows what happened.” Tino added.
So…… “Our RA is an alleged rapist?”
“Well the girl, Gielle, was caught making out with some other guy the next day, so the rape thing probably didn’t even happen.” Aaron said.
“Also, everyone knows he’s gay now, so the girls don’t have to worry” Amanda half joked.
“Might wanna carry a whistle, Alan” Tino said to me smiling.
“Like, a rape whistle?” I asked, horrified.
“No, the ones they use in basketball games. Are you for real?” Aaron asked.
“Uhm yeah, I think?” I said.
“I’m worried about the safety of your roommate, Tino” Amanda mumbled.
“We could shave his head, make him ugly.” Tino looked me up and down.
“Um, no, you would not, thank you.” I half squeaked.
“Well, we gotta go, and Tino, don’t forget your student ID for the party tonight, okay?”
“Sure dude” Tino said as Aaron and Amanda left the dorm.
I remembered Austin telling me all the safety rules about campus. Why would a rapist be concerned for others’ safety? He didn’t do it. I told myself. He didn’t do it.
(A/N): Yooooo so basically yeah most credit goes to Rachel Van Dyken, I own almost nothing.
