I had to admit, last night wasn't too bad. Towards the end of the event, the whole gym was filled. I could tell that most of the students had definitely pre-gamed before coming. If the university staff had noticed, they didn't say anything or kick them out.

The food and snacks were okay, nothing special. Although, there were chocolate chip cookies, and I couldn't pass those up because they're my favorite. I really thought the whole night would be pretty boring but then I saw her—Naomi. And she was wearing a dress! A sexy dress. Of course our eyes met while I was stuffing my face with cookies, but hot damn! She looked stunning!

It was hard to fall asleep last night because I couldn't get Naomi out of my head. It felt like I had just closed my eyes when my phone's alarm started going off. I sat up quickly, still half-asleep, and shut off the alarm. Today was Saturday, and I set my alarm for nine this morning to make sure I was ready before my family got to campus.

I got out of bed, gathered my shower things, and shuffled to the bathroom. I didn't even put my hand on the doorknob before a loud shriek sounded from the other side of the door. Obviously it was Heather, and at first I thought she was hurt. I was ready to charge in, but then she began singing off-key.

That was her...singing...?! Another loud shriek sounded through the door again, and I cringed. Yup, that was her singing voice, and it was hurting my ear drums. Wait! She was using the shower and I only had a limited amount of time! I realized. Shit! What was I going to do now?!

Heather forced out another off-key note, and I rested my head against the bathroom door. This was going to be a pain in my ass.

"Hey, Heather?"

She stopped "singing" abruptly and went silent for a moment.

"What do you want, Juliet?! Can't you see I'm trying to shower?!" she snapped.

Yes! I clearly knew you were taking a shower! My bleeding ears would be the proof!

"Yeah… I just wanted to know how much longer? I wanted to shower too…"

"Ugh! Fine! Give me five minutes!"

I decided to go sit on my bed to wait for Heather. I waited, and five minutes turned into ten...then ten turned into fifteen, and I was running out of time! I was pissed and anxious, and that was a bad combination! Finally I got impatient, and was about to go knock on the bathroom door when I heard her come out. She sauntered into our room with a smirk on her face.

"Shower is all yours," Heather said.

But why was she smirking? I wasn't sure, but at this point I didn't have time to care. I rushed into the bathroom, with my stuff squished in my arms, and shut the door behind me. I put my stuff on the back of the toilet, then turned my attention to the shower. Once I turned on the water, I put my hand underneath to check the temperature, and at that moment I knew exactly why Heather was smirking.

That BITCH! She used all the hot water! I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs, but that would have only wasted the already shortened amount of time I had left! So instead I growled as I stepped into the ice cold water, and spent my entire shower muttering curse words. I was shivering a bit when I was done, but at least I smelled clean.

I raced to dry off, to dry my hair, and to get dressed. By the time I checked my phone, I'd missed three text messages from Benjamin. In the last message he told me they were trying to find an open parking space. Shit, they were here! I said to myself as I hastily grabbed a pair of boots, and slipped them on.

I didn't have the time to style my hair properly, so I pulled it back into a messy bun before I got my phone, room keys, and school badge. I left the dorm room, and locked the door behind me before I sprinted downstairs. I started walking towards the parking lot when my phone began to ring.

I pulled it out of my pants pocket and saw that my mom was calling, so I picked up quickly.

"Hey, Mom!"

"Juliet, where are you?" she questioned. "We're in the parking lot."

"Okay, I'm coming now. I'm already walking, I'll be there in five," I replied. She hung up, and I slipped my phone back into my pocket.

After I met up with my family, I found out my eldest brother Joseph couldn't come because of work, so it was just my two older brothers and my parents. I gave all of them a hug, but I hugged my brother Benjamin the tightest; I missed him the most.

"I don't think I've seen you since Mom's last birthday party," Samuel said.

"Well whose fault is that? You should visit more," I retorted, then he and I exchanged smiles.

Benjamin nudged me, getting my attention. "Let's go see what the University has set up for us."

I nodded, and then led my family to the sports fields. I wasn't really into school spirit, not even in high school, so this would be the first time I'd actually been to this part of campus. However, I'd seen the campus map enough times to know where the fields were located.

I was impressed with the vendors and activities that Sutlow had chosen for the day. Everything was brightly decorated in the school's colors, and the music was classic 90s. The university even rented a bouncy-house for the younger kids. There were food tables under a designated tent, a big sign displayed the selection of foods, snacks, and drinks that were being offered.

Then of course the school had vendors, some were promoting the school and had university merchandise for sale. Some were actually stations where classic carnival games could be played. The five of us walked around for a bit, taking in everything, but after what seemed like an hour, my mom decided she wanted a stuffed animal; the ones you have to win by playing one of the games.

Samuel and my dad turned her request into a competition between the two of them, and bet on who could win her a prize first. Benjamin and I weren't into the whole idea so we decided to go check out what clubs Sutlow had. All of us split up, with Benjamin and I going in the opposite direction.

"I'm assuming those tables over there are for club sign ups," I told my brother, and pointed to an area where several tables were set up. From where I stood, I could see that each table had a big sign taped to the front that showcased the name of each club.

"Any ideas on what club or clubs you want to join?" Benjamin asked.

"I'm hoping they have some kind of art club," I replied.

"Why am I not surprised," he said with a smirk.

Before I could respond to his remark, I heard my cell phone chime. I pulled it out and checked the screen, seeing that Danny had texted me.

Where are you?

Instead of texting him back, I called him.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Danny," I greeted him.

"Hey! So...where are you?"

"My brother and I just got to the club sign up tables," I replied, "Where are you?"

"Great, stay right there! I'm close to you, by the cotton candy machine."

I looked up and scanned the field, looking for a cotton candy station. Just as I spotted the cotton candy machine, I also spotted Danny a few feet away, he was coming toward me holding two sticks with cotton candy on them. As he approached Benjamin and I he grinned.

"Hey! I got us some...cotton...candy," Danny said, except he wasn't looking at me, he was staring at my brother. Danny's mouth dropped open a little as he continued to ogle Benjamin.

"Um, thanks, but you only got two…" I told him.

"It's cool, we can share," Benjamin said then gestured toward himself and I.

"Uh, y-yeah, sorry about that, I didn't know you wouldn't be alone," Danny muttered, and blushed a bit.

"Right, so, Danny this is my older brother Benji, Benji this is my friend Danny," I retorted, realizing I didn't even introduce them.

"Nice to meet you," Benjamin stated, and stuck out his hand for Danny to shake.

Danny shyly grabbed my brother's hand and shook it. Was this really happening…? Was Danny attracted to MY big brother?! I didn't even know Danny was into guys!

"Likewise…" Danny said and bit his lip. They were still holding hands as Danny and Benjamin gazed at each other.

"Okay, well, I was just going to check out the clubs, you plan on joining any?" I asked Danny, trying to change the awkward atmosphere.

"Clubs?" Danny looked at me, half dazed. He was attracted to Benjamin!

"Yeah, school clubs?"

Danny blinked a few times, and he seemed to snap back to his normal self. He took his hand from my brother's before he rubbed the back of his neck, and flashed a crooked grin.

"Clubs! Yeah, I was thinking maybe the photography club, and the school has an art club I wanted to join too."

"Look at that, Juju! They do have an art club!"

"Juju" was a family nickname, a name my parents gave me when I was little; I couldn't believe that Benjamin called me that in front of Danny!

"Juju?" Danny questioned with a smirk.

"I will kill you," I warned Danny, and squinted my eyes at him. Then I whipped my head around to glare at Benjamin. He shrunk back a little and held his hands up in surrender.

"Sorry…" Benjamin uttered.

"Now, shall we go?" I asked them.

They both nodded silently, and let me lead the way over to the tables that were designated for club sign ups.
