The Football Player's Roommate

16.

I wake up to the cold of the apartment attacking my arms and instantly shiver. My hands automatically reach up to my eyes and try their best to rub the tiredness away. Thinking for a moment makes me realize I don't even remember walking to bed last night or falling asleep.

That's when I remember Theo is the one who carried me to bed and he...kissed me?

Yep. He did.

Only on the head, though...unfortunately. Wait what?!

I also remember him telling me how I'd soon find out what he's been up to. Which is one of the main reasons I'm upset when I search the apartment looking for him only to come up with the evidence that I'm all by myself.

How is he supposed to tell me, when he's not even here??

The other reason is that I've realized lately that when he isn't here the place seems to feel lonelier.

No matter how much he gets on my nerves he always has a way of making me smile.

Geez, I don't know what is happening to me.

You have a crush on him, you idiot.

Ugh. Brain stop!

Since it's a Saturday I have no daily classes all day so I decide to spend my day productively cleaning the house and taking Gracie for a walk.

Taking a look at the clock on the wall I realize I should probably get ready to take her on a walk very soon since it's already past nine thirty and the sun will be up soon enough. Which means more and more people will be out and I'm not in the mood to socialize right now.

My feet lead me to my closet and I pick out a pair of running leggings (even though the last thing I'm going to be doing today is running) and a long sleeved t-shirt along with a pair of my tennis shoes.

It was starting to get cooler in the mornings since it was almost October already, so wearing long sleeves and pants all at the same time won't make me sweat to death...hopefully. Before I leave, I go back to my room to get my headphones and cell phone from my nightstand, but before I grab them up I notice an envelope sitting besides them too.

I pick it up and immediately open it up. The piece of paper that's inside is the first thing I pluck from inside and unfold before starting to read it.

Mya,
I know you want me to tell you what's up with my weird schedule and everything, but it's taken me awhile to decide whether I should tell you or not. I've grown to trust you and now know I want to tell you. It's a long story and you'll eventually hear all of it, but we should start off small by telling you where I go daily so you no longer have to worry about me being a professional killer/drug dealer. (To clarify again, I AM NEITHER OF THOSE.) So let me tell you what I actually do. Later tonight at the stadium. If you don't know how to get there you can text me, but I'll probably laugh at you since you've been on campus for almost a month and a half now, but eventually (after the teasing ;) ) I'll help ya out.

See you soon princess,
Theo.

Along with the note, there was another piece of paper in the envelope. It was narrower and had a sticky note attached to it.

Be sure to bring this with you!! -T

I unattached the sticky note and it revealed a ticket to tonight's football game.
