Boy meets Girl

NYU Tour Pt. 1

I woke up to Roddi shaking my shoulders. "Wake up sleeping Dilly!" He sang. "Let go of me you asshat!" I responded prying his hands away.

"Why are you in my room?" I groaned covering myself with the covers. I heard Roddi walk back to the doorway. "It's 9:50am by the way."

Shit. "Shit!" I bolted up and made my way past Roddi and to the bathroom. I heard Roddi chuckle as I closed the door behind me. Jerk. No wonder he was in my room.

10:15am

I took one last look in my bedroom mirror. I was suppose to met my guide at 10:40. If I was lucky I'd make it there early. I hate it when I don't get to peek without a supervisor. If that makes any since.

I made my way into the kitchen grabbing one of Mom's blueberry muffins. "So, will you make it in time?" Roddi asked taking a bite of what looks to be his third muffin.

"No thanks to you Romeo." I snapped grabbing a juice box from the fridge.

Nicknames just flow through my life. Romeo for Roddi because the ladies love him. Plus he hates Shakespeare so it's fun to tease. Dilly because it's shorter than Dylan. Cowboy for Lucas because we grew up together on ranches. And giggles. I don't feel like getting into that one.

"Awe sis don't be mad, I gave you hot water this morning." True. If Roddi really wanted me late, he'd use up all the hot water.

"If you really love me you'll drive me to the NYU meeting." I face Roddi and give him my best puppy dog eyes.

"You wish." I groaned and stomped my feet. "But," Roddi began. I took a bite of my muffin. "But?" I asked. "I'll ride the bus with you." Meh, I'll take what I can get.

10:37am

We made it to the campus with three minutes to spare. Roddi was busy listening to his earbuds to pay any of the college girls any attention so I made my way to the visiting location. The campus was beautiful. I could barely catch my breath.

"Hey, by any chance are you Dylan Moore-Alvarez?" I looked to my right as a young man with messy brown hair and a flannel t-shirt read my name off a paper.

"That's me." I respond with a smile. Suddenly I felt a hand grip my shoulder. "I'm her older brother, Rodrick Alvarez."

Damn, he's always breathing over my shoulder when it comes to guys. Good thing he doesn't know I'm still in contact with Lucas..

"What's your name.. bro?" Roddi asked sizing the guy up.

The young man smiled. "Joshua Matthews."
