Rudy Takes On Boston

I got back to school and studied with my friends for several hours. It was the only way any of us wouldn't feel guilty if we went out for a night. During a study break we discussed our plans for the night and I texted Rudy.

A: Hey so we are thinking of heading to the houses (where the party is) at 10 so do you want to come over at like 8? Figured we could chill for a bit but 9 also works!

R: Hey! Yes 8 is perfect I'll see you then

I favorited the text then finished studying. We headed to the dining hall for some dinner and the back to our rooms to get ready. I was watching That 70's Show when I got a text from Rudy that he was on his way. I got dressed so neither of us would feel awkward later when I usually would get changed. I'm not one for a lot of makeup or hair products so decided to wait and see if I wanted to put some on. I check my phone again and Rudy said he was outside. I went downstairs to sign him in and brought him up to my room. It was about 8:15 and some of my friends just started getting ready-typical-so they would be late for pregame.

"Well welcome to my room" I threw up my arms and gave a light laugh.

"You don't have a roommate?" He asked

"No I'm an RA so we get our own rooms as one of the benefits."

"Wow that's awesome so you don't have to worry about bothering anyone else."

"Yes exactly."

As I finished getting ready there was some more small talk about my school and That 70's Show played in the background. My friends FaceTimed me and said they would be over soon and to start drinking as they already had. I offered Rudy a drink from my selection and the night began. Slowly my friends began to come over and soon enough we found ourselves in the houses with everyone. We were singing and dancing and of course drinking-maybe a little too much. I was having fun and constantly worrying if Rudy was so I kept asking him.

"Aspyn I'm having a good time don't worry about me!" He said with a laugh.

The night continued and at around 1 am we decided to leave because we were exhausted and the party was slowly dying down. All my friends and I live in different buildings mine being the farthest away so someone usually walks me back. However Rudy was here so I was all set. I watched them from the quad all enter their own dorms to make sure they were safe. When they got inside, Rudy and I linked arms as we walked back to my dorm. I smiled at the though of my new friend from Alaska.

"Thank you for inviting me I had a great time. A different experience than what I'm used to."

I laughed, "Yeah it's not the most fun place to party for a night out but it does it's job."

We walked into my room when he asks, "Is it okay if I stay for a few and sober up?"

"Oh my gosh no you are staying the night. My couch turns into a bed. I am not letting you drive home."

"No I don't want to impose. I just need like 20-30 mins" he explained.

"Nope you are staying plus I think we need to help each other get to bed" I said laughing

"Well I don't know about me but you," he pointed at me, "you need a lot of help"

"Not fair!" I said

We got changed and settled in, one of my friends lended Rudy a pair of shorts, and just like that we weren't tired. We picked out a movie to watch and I made popcorn. We must have fallen asleep in my bed watching the movie because when I woke up, we were tightly snuggled together on the tiny twin bed and popcorn was spilled. I again smiled at the sight and rolled over and fell back asleep.
