A soft sigh passed Lexi’s lips as she placed one of the boxes on her bed and began to pull out her books she already bought for her classes, stacking them on the desk beside her bed while Tabby was sitting on a computer chair with her phone in her hand. Yet midway in texting someone Tabby lowered her phone to look up and see the textbooks before raising an eyebrow. “Zoology and ecology, huh, are you trying to be a wildlife biologist?” Lexi paused as she pulled out another text book and placed it on top, resting her hand on it as her gaze slid off to the side. She wasn’t used to sharing her future with anyone, if people back in high school knew the cheerleader captain was planning to work as a wildlife biologist people would have laughed. The people she had been around in high school were the types to not want to do any work or do as little work as possible; everyone expected her to follow in her mother’s footsteps or act as the princess under her father’s thumb. Yet ever since she was a little girl she loved wild animals, interested in ways of finding how to stop species from being extinct and the idea of working with animals seemed pretty exciting; half of it had to do with her huge crush and role model Steve Irwin when she had been younger.<br/><br/>“Yeah, I am.” Lexi said as she brushed a strand of hair from her face and looked away as she carried the books to the empty desk and plopped them down before organizing them in alphabetical order. As she did she heard Tabby clear her throat and move her bright green eyes towards the window.<br/><br/>“I would have, never guessed.” There was an awkward tone in her voice and Lexi felt her eye twitch a little but she bit her tongue and just picked up the empty box and dropped it on the floor before pulling a bag onto her bed and placing it on top. “You seem like the cheerleading, rich girl type who probably wouldn’t even pass many of her classes on her own.” Well Tabby had one thing going for her and that was honesty.<br/><br/>Sighing softly Lexi began to put her clothes away, “yeah well the cheerleader part is right. I did it in high school and I’ll still be doing it here.” Mostly because she used it as a cover and to keep her popularity up so she wouldn’t become a target.<br/><br/>After the clothes were packed and put away Lexi decided to stop there and go out for dinner with Tabby because she was famished. The drive had been long, she had skipped out on lunch and honestly she needed to flirt her way into a drink. So the two headed out to dinner at a nice little restaurant fifteen minutes off of campus where Lexi successfully flirted her way into having an alcoholic beverage and got to know a bit more about Tabitha. Lexi was able to gather that the other girl had an older brother who graduated college the year before, had both parents who adored her and Tabby grew up being the perfect little daughter in her parents eyes with her straight A’s and always staying out of trouble. Yet Tabitha also had a bit of a rebellious side but nothing wild, just more of amusing to Lexi.<br/><br/>By the end of dinner Lexi felt a bit more comfortable with her roommate; knowing the girl wasn’t one to go gossiping about every little thing to anyone just to gain some spotlight and attention. Lexi paid for them both since it had been her call on going out and the two drove back to the dorms.<br/><br/>“So Tabitha, what kind of fun do like to do?” Lexi asked in a curious tone as she glanced to her roommate who blushed and shrugged her shoulders.<br/><br/>“Nothing really besides spending time with my boyfriend and focusing on school.” There was shyness in her tone that made Lexi glance to her and raised an eyebrow out of surprise to hear the girl has a boyfriend.<br/><br/>“Is that so? Doing the whole long distance thing or something?” Lexi asked and Tabitha shook her head back and forth as she looked down at her hands in her lap.<br/><br/>“No… Justin actually goes to college here; he is two years older than me. We have known each other for years and have been secretly dating for a little over a year now. Sort of just happened after he came home from vacation one year, he is sort of the opposite of me but we just…kinda click you know?”<br/><br/>Lexi just shrugged since she wouldn’t know, she never met someone she really liked or anything; her ex boyfriend from high school was just to help make them both look good. Cheerleading captain and the great quarterback, perfect match, both good looking and okay sex; now that it was over she sort of planned to broaden her horizons at some clubs, see what is out there and if it came down to having a cover boyfriend again to keep her popularity in check then so be it.<br/><br/>Arriving back on campus, Lexi parked her car and got out with Tabitha, the girl actually blushing as she told Lexi she was going to go see her boyfriend and be back later. Lexi nodded her head, “alright see you later.” With that Lexi went in the opposite direction of Tabitha; Lexi had her hands crossed over her chest while her gaze slipped back and forth over those in the halls. The parent’s who were crying made Lexi simply roll her eyes as she never understood it. Lifting the cup she had to go from where she ate that had Root Beer in it, she took a sip only to have her shoulder rammed into by some guy’s dicking off and she held her cup away from her so she wouldn’t have it slam up against her, only to feel herself slam into someone else, cup first. The lid popped open and the dark liquid spilled between the both of them in her failed attempt to avoid such an accident.<br/><br/>“Oh crap!” She cursed under her breath and growled in frustration.
