Yeah, I’m the…”
“I know who you are,” I said, cutting him off. “I’m usually at all of the games.”
“I’m surprised I haven’t noticed you before.”
“I’m not, anyway you can go,” I said. “I’m good from here.”
“I’ll walk with you the rest of the way.”
“Thanks, why were you out here anyway?”
“We were on our way to a party on campus.”
“I thought the football players weren’t allowed to party.”

“Oh? So what can you get away with?”
I’m pretty sure I knew what he was getting at.
He peered over at me and grinned.
“All sorts of things.”
“Yeah, I know all about your reputation.”
“My reputation, huh?”
“You’re a player in more than one sense of the word.”
“Clever.”

“You walk all this way yourself every night?”

“Jocelyn?”
“My roommate.”
I glanced over. He had this look about him. He felt both dangerous and safe, if that was even possible.
He turned toward me. “Will your roommate be home?”
“I’m not sure. Why?”
“I thought you might want to invite me inside, you know, to thank me.”
I stopped. He continued for a few steps then did the same, turning around to face me.
“What?” he asked innocently.
“You’re no better than those assholes,” I responded, totally offended.
