I'm starting my freshman year of college. I'm told I will be roommates with Ashtyn Black. It turns out the college made a mistake and now we have to adjust to living with the opposite gender.
I was never really good at talking to guys. I was a shy...
I wake up the next morning with a horrible headache. I can't remember a thing that happened last night. I look over and see ash sleeping beside me. I crawled out of bed to find the Motrin. It was then that I realized I was naked.
What the hell happened last night? I throw on an oversized tshirt and shake ash awake. "What happened last night?" I frantically ask him.
"I can't remember anything after you being upset and then asking me to play a game."
He starts to get out of bed. He pulls the sheets off him then hurried and pulls them back once he figures out he has nothing on. "We didn't-did we?" He stutters.
"I don't fucking know. Damn what was it that vodka."
"No I don't think we did. I'm not a guy to do that."
"Okay. I don't think we did either. Maybe we were just hot?"
"Yeah. Probably. Can you turn around so I can put clothes on?" I turn around so he can get dressed. I also slip some shorts on.
"Wanna go practice volleyball with me? I need to stay in shape."
"Yeah. Let me go and change."
While he's changing I change into a brownish maroon sport bra and black shorts. Ash comes back in with just black shorts on.

We jog down to the gym. Before we start practicing I do a workout. Ash decides to join me. I guess he has to stay in shape to if he's going to play football or baseball.
We do the routine three times and stop for a water break. Then we start practicing. We pepper back and forth for a while. After peppering i practice my serves to him. I've got my jump serve perfected by the end of our practice.
We jog back to the dorms for a shower after our workout. Once we are both showered and changed ash asks if I would want to go to the beach with him.
"I've been living here for a month and haven't checked out the beach. I think it's time that I do so yeah I'll go with you." I put on my black bikini and some jean shorts. Ash goes and gets dressed as well.

We get in his truck and he drives us to the beach. We go to the one that's about an hour from the campus. We chose it because it shouldn't be very crowded like others.
We walked down to the beach. I decided to lay out for a bit before joining ash in the water. A tall shadow stands over me.
"Hiya. I noticed a hot babe sitting all by her self so I thought I could come and keep her company?" It sounds more like a question so I shrug.
"I'm Nicole." I say and shake his hand. He laughs at my gesture knowing that I must not be good at being social.
"I'm Noah. Do you live around here?"
"I live on campus about an hour away."
"Oh cool. College student?"
"Yes. I'm 19."
"I'm 22. I just finished college."
Before we could talk about anything else Ash comes jogging to me. He has water dripping down his face and his hair is hanging over his eyes. He looks smoking hot right now.
"Hey Nic, who's this?" He sits down on my towel getting me wet.
"Seriously Ash." I say as I shake the water off me. "This is Noah."
"I'm Ashton." Ash says as he shakes Noah's hand.
"So are you two a thing or?"
"No we just live together." I laugh.
"Wanna play beach volleyball?" Ash asks.
"Sure." Me and Noah says in unison.
"I'm on Noah's team." Ash shouts as he runs to the net.
"What? No fair." I whine.
"Your a professional volleyball player. This is totally fair."
"Fineeee."
We play for about an hour until we are all tired and sweating like pigs. I have sweat all over my body and I don't even want to know how bad my hair looks. Even though I had a disadvantage I still ended up winning.
We were all in a desperate need of a cool off so we went running towards the ocean. Noah beat us by like a foot.
"So Noah, do you live around here?" I'm curios.
"I live about 20 minutes from here." He answers and I nod.
"We better start heading back to the campus. It's getting late." Ash says.
"Yeah. Okay." We all walk out of the ocean and head to the parking lot. We wrap in towels, attempting to dry off before we get back in the truck.
"Do you want my number?" I ask Noah.
"Sure." He says as he unlocks his phone and hands it to me. I type in my number and take a cute selfie to make my contact photo. The boys just laugh at me.
"I'll text you later once I get home." Noah says. I nod.
"I'll be waiting." He smiles and gives me a hug before walking off to his car.
Me and ash head back to the campus. We listen to my play list all the way there. Luckily we both like the same music. By not talking to anyone it gives me time to think. My mind goes to sally. I'm not ever going to see her again. She's gone. My one person I could talk to about anything is gone. The person who has helped me through everything in my life and has always given me the best advice is gone.
Thinking about my aunt made tears start falling down my face. I turn towards the window hoping that ash couldn't tell that I was crying. I hate crying in front of people. I'm supposed to be a strong girl, not one that starts crying every time she thinks back to memory's.
"Nic, what's wrong?" I hadn't realized that we were parked outside of the dorms.
"I'm okay. I'm just sad over my aunt."
"It will get better." He says with a reassuring smile. I just nod and get out of his truck. I shouldn't cry around him. He's going through a lot to. I mean his dad just had a tumor found in his brain.
I change into my light purple pj outfit and crawl into my bed. I pull the covers over my head and cry into my pillow until I fall asleep.
