As the doors were about to close a guy walks in.

"Hey man." The guy says, I now have a good look of him, he is a nerdy looking kid.

[Image.]

"What's good?" I ask.

"Life, I'll be honest life his pretty good right now." He says looking at the buttons on the side of the door.

"Oh your on floor one as-well?"

"Yep." I say closing me eyes, hoping he would be quiet.

"What sport do you play?"

"Football." I answer.

"Oh cool, me to." He says.

*sigh*

What position?" I ask.

"Kicker. How about you?" He asks.

"Linebacker." I respond.

"Oh cool, I don't like hitting people, but my dad wanted me to play so just started kicking the ball and found out I have a really good leg." He says chuckling.

"What's your farthest kick?" I ask kinda curious.

"With wind about 78 yards, without about 69 or 70." He answers.

"Damn, ok I see you." I say chuckling.

*Ding.*

The elevator door starts to open.

"Alright man I will see you in the locker room." I say starting to walk out.

"My name is Adam." He says eagerly, as I am walking out the door.

I turn around and see he is holding out his hand.

"Jacob, my friends call me Jake." I say grabbing his hand.

"Ight, see ya later Adam."

"Yea see ya later." I hear him say.

'Check one make some friends.' Adam thinks to himself.

…

"132, 132, 132." I say walking down the hall.

"Ahh, here we are."I say as I use the key the girl at the front desk gave me.

I open the door and see a small kitchen area to my right and a living room area in the middle I also see two doors on either side of the room.

Both doors have numbers on them, I look at my ID card and see Door #1 I walk up to the door and open it and walk inside it's pretty bland nothing really inside.

I put my bags down and start to unpack, as soon as I open my suitcase I see a pack of condoms with a sticky note on top.

"Just in case, DON'T FORGET TO PUT THE RAIN COAT ON."

I start to laugh.

"Love you mom."

*sound of a door opening.*

Ahh my roommate.

I walk out of my room so I can see who I will share a room with.

I turn the corner and see Adam.

"Oh, we got the same room?" He asks.

"Looks like it." I respond.

"I'm glad i get to share it with someone I know." He says.

"Yep, now let's set some rules." I say.

"Ok let's do that."

"Alright rule number one, no music past 12."

"Ok I don't really like to listen to music so that works with me." He responds.

"No snooping through the other persons room without permission." He says.

"I like it." I respond.

"If we have early practice and the other isn't awake we wake them up." He says.

"Sounds good."

"Last rule."

"We will have each other's back." He says with a look of hope on his face.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Uhh, never mind it was stupid." He says looking away.

"No I wanna know what you mean." I say trying to get him to tell me.

"Um, like you don't have to if you don't want to, but like if I get in trouble or caught up in something we will help each other." He says with the same look of hope.

Does he mean like a fight?

"Are you saying if you get into a fight, you want me to help you?" I ask.

"Uhh yea." He says nervously.

"Dude of course I got your back." I say chuckling.

"Alright cool." He says.

"Hey why don't you start coming with me to the gym?" I ask thinking that if he puts on some muscle he won't be picked on.

"When?" He asks.

"Well ima head down to the lobby here in a little bit how bout we go to the weight room later tonight and have a light workout." I ask.

"Tonight?"

"Yea, come on don't forget the first step is the hardest."

"Alright I will meet you down there." He says walking into his room.

I walk into my room and change into some shorts and a shirt to go to the gym in.

…

"Yo." I say to Jordan and Brandon as I walk up to there table.

"Dude have you seen the chicks?" Brandon asks.

I look around.

"I mean their alright."

"Alright? Shit they perfect." Brandon says looking at a girl in the opposite corner of the room.

"Hey man." I hear Adam say from behind me.

"Guys this is Adam, he is a kicker."

"What's good homie." Jordan says trying to dap up Adam.

Adam try's to give him a handshake and he completely made everything weird.

"You don't know how to Dap em up?" Jordan asks.

"What's that?" Adam asks.

"Oh boy." I say, while we all three start to laugh.

"You've got a lot to learn." I say patting Adam on the back.

…

"Alright we're gonna head to the gym. Y'all wanna join us?" I ask, after about 10 minutes of us trying to show Adam how to Dap someone up, let's just say he still has a lot to learn.

"Naw, I still gotta unpack. Definitely next time though." Jordan says, while Brandon nods his head.

"Ight see y'all." I say walking off.

"Wait!" I hear Adam say as he jumps out of his chair following me.

I open the map of campus and start making my way toward the all sports workout facility.

"You know you should really grow out your hair, girls would like you more." I say to Adam as he looked at a cute girl who walked by.

"You think?" He asks.

"Yea, don't take this the wrong way but you look nerdy, nothing wrong with that but, you would look better with longer hair." I say as we reach the door of the gym.

"Alright."

…

We walk inside and it's pretty empty other than a group of girls that seem to be apart of some team.

"Alright let's do bench first." I say walking to a rack and setting my things down.

I put my beats on and open my phone, I go to Spotify and find "till I collapse" by Eminem.

"Alright let's start light." I say grabbing 45's and putting them on the bar.

…

"Light? How the fuck is 445 lbs light?" Adam says from behind me as I get ready to warm up.

"I-I can't lift this if you get in trouble, hold on." Adam says, he start to walk off somewhere.

…

Madison Carter POV.

"Alright girl you got this!" I say trying to pump Dani for her last rep.

*Huhgh*

*Clack*

"Yes girl!" I say giving her a hug.

"Excuse me." I hear someone say something behind me.

I turn around and see a awkward looking kid.

"Yea?" Dani asks breathing heavily from her last rep.

"Um would y'all mind helping me spot him." The guy says pointing at man who is just bobbing his head up and down, looking forward.

I look at the rack and see the bar is bending.

"I think your friend is showing off." Dani says, standing up.

"Let's go." Dani says walking toward the guy.

"Thank you."

We walk over and the man on the bench just looks at us and scoffs.

"What's that for?" I ask.

"No offense but hypothetically If I can't lift this, do y'all three think you can?" He says laying down and getting ready to lift the bar.

I get on the left side and Dani on the right, the awkward kid is behind.

"You sure all those muscles are not just for show?" Dani says with a smirk.

"You'll see." He says as he lifts the bar in the air and start to do multiple reps.

'How is he repping so much weight?'

"10" The awkward kid said.

He starts to rack the bar and sits up taking his headphones off.

"Thanks Adam."

He looks at me and extends his hand.

"Thank you both. Couldn't have done it without y'all." He says smirking.

"Be careful I think all of your muscles are overloading your brain." I say ignoring his hand and walking back to our stuff with Dani right behind me.

…

Jacob POV.

"She's cute." I say to Adam as they walk away.

"I don't think she likes you."

"Maybe."

To be continued.
