It had been fun spending time with Aerius and her parents. Her parents had felt so bad for him how his parents had abandoned him and they had treated him like a son. Mikayla could tell that Aerius was hesitant about her suggestion for the game. Sometimes she forgot he wasn't as into football as she and her father were. He would spend lots of weekends with them and during the fall, that meant watching football. She tended to forget he had never been as into the games like she and her father were. It was something an interest she and Aiden shared, though. He was obviously a huge football fan, since he played the game. One his dreams had been to play for the Buckeyes.<br/><br/>"You don't have to go, if you don't want to."<br/><br/>She told him, giving him a chance to get out of it. Mikayla wanted to spend some time with an old friend, but she didn't want to make him be bored either.<br/><br/>"If you don't have any plans tonight, I'm hanging out with Aiden and Tara. I'm sure they wouldn't mind you joining us."<br/><br/>Realizing that Aerius may not know who Tara was, Mikayla offered.<br/><br/>"Tara is my roommate and Aiden's cousin. She's how I met him. Anyway, she's a pretty cool girl and she's pretty interested in the ummm...apocalypse stuff too."<br/><br/>Mikayla was never into it, but she did learn to humor her friends who were. She just found it ironic that once she had moved into the campus that her roommate, Tara Walker, was also into the same things as Aerius. Maybe they would bond over it. Tara wasn't dating anyone and Mikayla wasn't sure if Aerius currently was. He wasn't much a big dater back in high school, but she never realized it was because of his crush on her. There was nothing wrong with her friends being friends too.
