Carmody's POV

We get off the plane and Everleigh starts laughing. Everleigh Anne McDougall. If not your ideal 18-year-old. A 5'7 sweetheart with long blond hair and blues eyes that stand out with her freckles. Everleigh is planning on being a music major. Then there's Leva Elle Dellena. Leva or as Everleigh and I call her, Levs, is the oldest of us all. She's got this long black hair and green eyes. Not to mention, she's also the shortest. Coming in at 5'4, she has no common sense and everyone loves her.

"I'm just saying, this better have been worth it." Everleigh sighs, trying to stretch and smacks Leva in the face.

"It will be." I mutter, smacking them both on the back of their heads as I walk between them both and they stop walking.

"That hurt." Leva shouts and I stop, rolling my eyes.

"Maybe if you weren't focused on Deanna still." Everleigh remarks and I go silent, knowing she just started something.

"I'll tell Deanna."

"Go run to your knight in shining armor."

"Okay I'm getting food. Do you assholes want anything or?" I sigh, grabbing my bag from baggage claim.

"I want my girlfriend."

"Leva, shut up. Can I have a water?"

"Yup."

•••

"SHUT UP!" Leva angrily shouts as I walk into our dorm.

"Woah. What happened?"

"Leva is being annoying."

"Carmody!!"

"I have practice all week so y'all better get along."

"You're lucky I start class tomorrow. 9am."

"I have a lift at 6. My classes are 9-12."

"Mine also start tomorrow but 12-3." Leva sighs, not looking up from her laptop. "Anyone else miss home yet?"

"Kinda. Matt plays football at UCLA."

"Ooo."

"Adrianna and Kiley both play D1 basketball, Carmody. You should see if you play against them."

"I'll check. You know what schools?"

"Baylor and Utah."

"I play Utah at Utah January 4th and Baylor on November 11 in Fort Defiance."

"Ooo."

"Knock knock!" I hear Jamie holler as she knocks and I rush to answer.

"James!"

"Hey Carms. They your roomies?"

"Yeah. Everleigh and Leva, this is Jamie. She's junior on the team."

"It's great to meet you guys. Angie needed me to tell you we have a team dinner tonight at 7."

"Alrighty! Sounds great. I'll catch ya later!" We exchange goodbyes and I sigh. "Anyone else go to college sports?"

"A lot yeah. Josh plays soccer here, Eli plays soccer at UCLA, Sophia Tomczak does Cheer at Syracuse, Sydney plays basketball at Florida State, Sara plays softball at Oregon, Sophia Boice does softball at Syracuse, Marcus plays lacrosse at Oregon, Grant plays soccer at Wisconsin, Hunter and Evan also play soccer here, Alexis runs track at Syracuse, Noah plays baseball here, Miguel plays soccer at uAlbany,  Caroline plays Lacrosse at Stanford, Molly plays lacrosse here, Kiera plays soccer at SUNY Plattsburgh, Kylie does lacrosse at SUNY Oneonta, Lizzie does soccer here, the Allie's play at Le Moyne for soccer, and James plays football here."
