"Eva!" I heard Lexi call out.
She was hustling in from behind me.
"You are seriously the worst at answering your phone!" she cried. "I waited outside your dorm room for thirty minutes so that we could walk together, until I finally figured you had spent the night somewhere else!"
She suddenly got a mischievous look on her face.
"So…who was the lucky guy?" she asked.
I blushed.
"Damon asked me to spend the night last night," I said shyly, trying to make it seem like it wasn't a big deal.
"Ooh girl, you have to tell me how that gorgeous specimen is in bed. You're the closest I'm ever going to get to that."
I blushed even further.
"Ummm, we didn't sleep together…well we did sleep together…but we just slept."
Lexi grabbed her heart, acting like she was having a heart attack from the shock of my statement.
"Why the hell not?" she asked. "If I needed to cut off my right arm to get a chance with one of the "triplets" I would gladly do it," she said, only half joking it seemed.
I didn't say anything, just continued to walk down the hallway to the locker room.
"Are you trying to play hard to get?" she asked seriously. "Because a girl like you doesn't need to do that you know. I've seen the way Damon looks at you. I don't think he even remembers other girls exist."
I stopped outside the door leading to the locker room. I could share things with Lexi. That's what normal girls did with their friends right? And it's not like there was anything wrong with being a virgin or anything like that.
"I'm a virgin," I whispered, before opening the door and running inside without waiting to see what she had to say.
"Eva, wait," she called out after me.
Luckily, I had made it into the main part of the locker room where a lot of the girls from the team were already gathered. Some of the girls stared at me as I ran in, but they soon went back to getting ready when I didn't do anything interesting. Lexi popped up behind me, taking my arm and pulling me to the corner behind a row of lockers.
"How is that possible?" she asked.
"How is what possible?" I asked back, knowing exactly what she was talking about, but not wanting to answer.
"Eva, babe. You're the hottest girl I have ever seen in my life by far. The guys must be crawling up your door to get a chance with you. You're telling me that none of the man candy available ever caught your eye?"
I looked everywhere but at her.
"I didn't have a lot of chances to interact with boys," I answered uncomfortably.
"Okaaay…" she answered.
She softly touched my shoulder.
"Hey, I'm sorry. I'm being super in your business and you don't even know me well enough at all to feel comfortable sharing things like this. You don't have to feel uncomfortable with me about anything though. I already know we are going to be best friends."
Lexi gave me a big hug, and then finally took a step back, letting me have a little bit of personal space finally.
"Let's go get ready for the game," she squealed suddenly, her bubbly personality returning in full force, a definite 180 from the conversation we had just had. I smiled at her, glad that she was letting it go and not running from my social awkwardness. I shook off the conversation and did my best squealing impersonation back to her. Weirdo or not, this was my first college football game and nothing was going to dampen my mood.
Chapter 17
Lexi primped me to within an inch of my life. My hair was in a high pony tail, and expertly curled into ringlets. She had lined my eyes with a dark black eyeliner and two coats of mascara, making my eyes pop like crazy since my eyelashes were so long and dark naturally. I had watched her put a million products on her face, layer after layer of makeup that I didn't think she needed. When I said so, Lexi explained to me that we had to wear heavier makeup during football games so that we would look better on camera.
