"Bro, this is my best friend back home I've been telling you about."
"Oh yeah, Katherine right?" The boy says pointing his finger right in my face. I can practically feel the alcohol radiating off of him. Wow, Xander really knows how to pick his roommates.
"It's Kendra." I say, while moving his hand out of my face, making sure to give the message I didn't like that, and taking a large sip from my solo cup. I'm going to need this to get through the rest of this conversation.
"And you must be Xander's roommate, Grady was it?" I say, grinning, knowing damn well that's not his name.
His jaw clenches and he eyes me up and down, "Griffin" He states shortly.
"Well it was a pleasure to meet you Grady", I say patting the side of his arm, "bye now."
