The uncrowned king of Barnett University. He's like a freaking celebrity around here. It's totally ridiculous. People, by which I mean grown women, actually stalk him on the internet. And around campus. Apparently, he's god's gift to both football and the ladies (I'm using that term loosely). All he has to do is smile and girls fall right onto their backs before spreading their legs wide. I've heard that he's already plowed his way through half the female population at Barnett. My guess is that he'll work his way through the second half before he gets drafted to the NFL later this year.

Yeah...I don't plan to be one of them. The guy is nothing more than a conceited player. You know the type—a steroid infused meathead coasting through college on his football prowess.
Ugh.
I have three words for you—avoid, avoid, avoid.
Need I say more?
I don't think so.

King of Campus

I hear the smile in his voice when he says, "Welcome to the Cincinnati Ballet."


"Thank you."  I can't help but squeeze my eyes shut and kick my legs in the air.  "Thank you so much!"


We say our goodbyes and I sit there for I-don't-know-how-long just staring at the phone in my hand.  My entire body vibrates with excitement.


I'm going to dance with the Cincinnati Ballet!


My first impulse is to race over to Roan's apartment and share the good news with him.


As I sprint to the door, doubt niggles its way into my brain.  I mean...how will we make our relationship work when I'm six hours away and he's at Barnett?


Mr. Moliter said the first couple months would be difficult.  Which isn't surprising.  I'll have all new choreography to learn.  An entire show worth.  The hours will be long.  Exhausting.  It's doubtful I'll have any spare time to visit Roan.  And with football, school, and getting ready for the draft, neither will he.
