Nash

"You're breaking up with me?" I sit up asking her as she gets dressed "after we just had sex?" "I'm sorry Forrest-"


"No you're not" I get up putting on my underwear, "I thought we were good"

"We were but shit changes, you know?" I wish I did then maybe she wouldn't be dumping me "this was never meant to be serious remember? We just fucked around but last week you wanted to be official and shit. I'm not ready for that"

"Ok so we don't have to be official, I'm cool with the fuck buddy system we have going on. Why can't we keep doing that?"


"Because" She looks for her shoes "between school and work I don't really have time and I know you don't too"

"I make time Bevin you can try too" pleading with her seems hopeless right now


"It's not gonna work Forrest I'm sorry" she gets her bag "I'll see you around ok?" Walking to my bedroom door she opens it leaving.

I follow her through my apartment until she's out the front door and I'm left there in only my underwear. That's what I fucking get for telling a girl I like her after 8 months of just fucking around, thanks tinder!

"Another one bites the dust?" I turn to find my roommate eating cereal at the kitchen counter "Get that smile off your face" I roll my eyes walking away.

No one wants to be in a relationship in college, either you came here with one or you fucking a bunch of people until you graduate. 2 years into this shit and I can't seem to keep one girl, why is it so hard to believe that a guy would actually want a relationship? Shit gets lonely sometimes ya know?

Well since my Friday night is officially ruined I put on sweatpants and walk back out to the kitchen "where are all the beers?" I open the fridge needing one badly

"You finished them, remember?"

"Yeah and you said you'd get more" I turn to Nash

"That was last time which means you finished all the ones I got, now it's your turn to get them"

Ugh "whatever man" I shut the fridge

"What's up your butt?" Turning to him I stare as he continues to shove spoons full of cereal in his mouth

"Bevin broke up with me" I lean against the fridge "one minute we're having sex and the next she's telling me we're moving too fast, even though we've been messing around for months now."

"And your heart's broken because you were falling for her?"

Thinking about the question I answer "I wasn't falling for her but I liked her, it's not easy finding someone else who'll agree to what we had"

"Forrest, you met her on tinder, you're an attractive guy you'll find someone else" I'm ok with my gay roommate calling me attractive right?

"Let Devin go" He walks over putting his bowl in the sink "It's Bevin"

"It's a stupid name" he smiles "there's no ship name in that, like Nest or Forash" he back out of the

kitchen. "Actually now that I said those out loud they sound very fucking stupid" he chuckles then disappears into the hall.

My relationship with Nash is a simple one, he came out to me the moment we met during move-in day. I don't have a problem with who he is but he knows I've never really been exposed to what he's used to, so when he has guys over which is not often he's discreet about it.

He keeps it in his room and we just mind our business when it comes to our personal lives unless we bring each other into it.

Bevin spends the entire weekend ignoring my texts, crazy how she could just get rid of me so easy and I spend my whole weekend thinking about her. I need to forget about Bevin. After my classes, I decide to go to the gym to blow off some steam "Forrest"

"What's up, Dylan?" He walks up to me as I'm working out my back "Not much man, did you get my text last week?"

"About joining your frat?"

"Yeah, dude! Rush week's in 2 days and we need guys"

"I'm good man not looking to join any frats right now" I stop on the machine

"Why the hell not? Theta Phi throws the best parties you know that, and the Nu Gamma girls live right next door, dude!" He tries to sell me on his frat

"Dylan I don't have 3 grand to join a frat, all right? I'm sure your group's the shit but I'm not interested"

"All right man you're missing out" "If you say so"

"Later bro" he walks away and I scoff, Dylan's fraternity is literally the worst on campus and last year

their house caught on fire, why the fuck would I want to move into that?

Driving home after my workout I unlock my door walking in to find someone standing behind the door reaching for the nob, "oh sorry" I stop

"It's cool" he walks out leaving.

Seconds later I see Nash leaving the bathroom walking to his room "hey" he doesn't bother looking at me.

"Hey" I reply walking in, forgetting what just happened I head to my room blasting some music and doing homework.
