For the past couple of weeks the gang, including Lindsey hung out nonstop. Lindsey was able to make friends with the other freshmen but she just felt more comfortable with then older girls. Sitting in class Lindsey wanted to fall asleep, she was dead from the practice yesterday. She had also never been so bored in her life, at this point she wasn't even paying attention, until she get and interesting text from Emily.

Em- LINDS U WONT BELIEVE ME I JUST FOUND THIS HOT GIRL IN MY PSYCHOLOGY CLASS

Linds- wow u should go for it

Em- no silly duck, for u

Lindsey had to be the little shit she was and correct Emily's grammar.

Linds- *your guys would be better

Also yk I'm not looking, I already have my eye on someone

Em- I still don't get y u just don't go for it Ik if it were me I'd say fuck it and ask this girl out

Lindsey starred art her phone wondering how the fuck to respond to that, she didn't know someone could be so oblivious,

Em- earth to Linds

Linds- yes I do

Linds-yes boss :p

That weekend was their first game of the year, it was also their home opener. The older girls were working their asses off to get those starting positions but Lindsey was right there beside them. Practice Thursday was an easy one because the coaches wanted the players as rested they could be. The next morning Emily, Rose and Lindsey went out to breakfast without Sam and Mal because the other two wanted there, "beauty sleep".

"Linds you ready for the game" Rose asked her

"I'm not even gonna play I'm a freshman. You guys will for sure get the start, I should be asking you how you feel.."

"Pfff feeling like a million bucks" Emily said confidently

Rose rolled her eyes, "Says the one who I had to drag out of bed this morning"

Emily looked at Rose "Hey in my defense I wasn't ready to face the world quite yet" Lindsey laughed

The game came around, just as Lindsey predicted she didn't get the start but she was okay with it because now she got to watch her friends play. They were playing Arizona State. She sat on the bench and cheered anytime one of them got a touch, she tried to communicate to Rose that the right flank was open and she would be able to have a better chance getting past the defenders. Rose finally understood her and took her advice. Rose was able to pass the defender and quickly use her left foot to slot the ball into the upper left corner. At half Rose walked up to Lindsey,

Rose wrapped her arm around her "Bro thank god you pointed that out, I didn't even see it" She said

"Hey that's what the bench is for right, more eyes on the field studying the space so you guys can succeed" Lindsey said

"I feel like you're gonna be the best Linds just hang in there"

She made her way over to Emily who was sitting on the chair

"You're doing great Em"

"So are you miss talkative I saw you telling Rose where to go" Emily said

"Not much taking but good observation skills"

Their coach called them in to talk,

"Girls you're doing great, we need to keep the pace up and keep them tired. Rose excellent job recognizing the opening and taking full advantage of it"

"Thanks but it was Lindsey who told me it was open"

"Great see even if you guys aren't on the field you can still be a huge part of this team because now were up 1-0, let hold it yea?'

They went back out and in the 75th minute Rose subbed out for Lindsey. She didn't do much but they were able to hold their lead and the game ended in 2-0. After the game The five girls went out to get food.

"Guys we should totally go to the frat house tonight" Emily suggests

"Do you not remember the last time we were there, oh wait you don't because you were drunk the entire time" Sam said

"That's the point Sammy let loose and have fun, plus we have to take Lindsey to her first party at some point, right?"

"She's got a point" Rose added in

"Fine but if you get drunker than last time and make a dumber decision we're going back right away" Sam said

"Linds you ready for your first frat party"

"I don't think I have an option so, yes?"

They arrived at the party 30 minutes later.

"Alright Linds you can come with me and Rose and have real fun or go with Sam and Mal and sit outside and wait for me and Rose to puke our guts out" Emily said

"Screw it, l'll go with you guys"

"Yes"

Emily dragged her to the alcohol table first. She made Rose a drink and then herself.

"Now Linds I know this is your first party so I'm not forcing it on you but I'm strongly suggesting that you get a bit tipsy for the best experience" Emily said

Rose added, "it's the only way to survive"

"Well you gonna make me one or not" Lindsey gave in, because fuck it, it's her first party and her parents aren't here so it doesn't matter.

Emily and Rose were four drinks in while Lindsey was nursing her second one. She felt pretty tipsy, she was a lightweight, never drank alcohol before. After the second round of Rose and Emily playing beer pong Rose quit and went to go find Sam. Emily on the other hand was way past okay, and Rose leaving Lindsey to watch over Emily was her biggest mistake.

"Linds come dance with me man, we need to just get it all out before it actually all comes out"

Lindsey was sitting on some random chair looking up at Emily who was standing in front of her, "I don't feel like dancing"

"Please" she drug out the 'e', "for me your hottest best friend" she gave her the puppy eyes

"Who said anything about you being hot" Emily turned around and started walking away. Lindsey wasn't quite thinking correctly but she did know that if she let Emily go she would most llikely get lost. She got up and grabbed her arm, "one song"

Emily's smiled reappeared and she took Lindsey to dance. When the first song finished Lindsey started to walk away, but Emily ran in front of her and stopped her.

"The song is over, I said one remember" Lindsey tapped Emily's hand

"Just let me have one more, I promise it will be worth it." She placed both her hands on Lindsey's waist.

They walked slowly back over and Emily was being bold, by bold I mean she started grinding against Lindsey, but slowly almost as if she wanted it to last. Lindsey freezes and has no ideas what to do, half way through the song Emily grabs Lindsey's hand and places them on her hips. As the song was ending Lindsey started getting into it and easing up. Emily could sense it so she kept going. Once another song past, Lindsey looked at Emily and Emily looked right back. In that moment Lindsey was so lost her eyes she missed Emily leaning in. Before she had time to back away Emily had her lips pressed against Lindsey's.

Emily pulled back and looked at Lindsey, at this point Lindsey knew Emily wouldn't remember this and she wouldn't either, so she pulled her back in. Their lips that were once innocently pressed against each other were now exploring each others mouth's. Before anything could get further the were physically pulled apart from each other by Sam.

"Seriously Em, this is why I don't let you be alone. Come on kids we should stop sucking faces and get home before you decide to puke"

With both of them still out of it, they just looked at each other with their cheeks flushed.

"Look who I found sucking faces inside" Sam announced to Rose and Mal, who were waiting outside

"NO FUCKING WAY, I CANT WAIT TO MAKE FUN OF SON TOMORROW HA" Rose said

"Jokes on you Rosie, I will remember" Emily said in a slurred voice

"I'm pretty sure neither of you will remember" Mal said

In the car ride Sam made Mal sit in between Emily and Lindsey afraid of them continuing, she couldn't trust Rose there because Rose is too much of an instigator. Sam then escorted Lindsey back to her room where Sarah opened the door.

"Oh thank god, I was about to call the police" she said

"Oh sorry, we would have been home earlier but she was a little busy with someone" Sam said, leading Lindsey to her in which she collapsed in.

"Who? I want to make fun of her tomorrow...was it Emily, please let it be Emily" Sarah begged

"Bingo, good luck with this mess. I have no idea what they drank or what they did so all I know is what I saw"

"Thanks, I'll make sure she make it out alive tomorrow"

"Okay good" Sam left and went back to her own room

~~

The next morning Emily wakes up with a pounding headache.

"What the fuck happened, Rose why'd you let me do this" She complained

"There's no stopping an Emily Sonnett when it comes to beer" Rose said quietly because she had a headache of her own.

"No seriously want happened the last I remember was the third drink, thank god I'm not in anyone else's bed"

"You were almost in Lindsey's" Rose mumbled into her pillow

"Huh"

"You and Lindsey made out last night and if it weren't for Sam I'm pretty sure Linds wouldn't be the innocent virgin she is anymore" Rose said more clearly.

"WHAT ROSE WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP ME"

"I wasn't EVEN THERE" Rose yelled back

"Fuck now she's gonna think I have feelings for her"

"Wait you don't have feelings for her, Son that's fucked up. She was probably so happy thinking you felt like that and now this."

"Rose what are you talking about"

"She likes you ding dong"

"No she doesn't, it's gonna be fine I'll ask her if she remembers anything and if she doesn't we're good"

"You're so gonna fuck this up" Rose whispered to herself

At recovery that same day Lindsey walked in looking like she was in pain.

"Yo Linds you good?" Emily asked

"No, I have pounding headache that won't go away and I can't remember much from last night thanks to your drinks" Emily felt relieved Lindsey didn't remember

"Me either, I can't remember what happen after my third"

"I can't remember after my first, what the fuck do you put in those"

"That's for me to know and for you to drink it"

"Oh were you trying to get me drunk then, see what happens with a drunk Lindsey?"

"Wasn't my plan but I'm sure it was fun. I wouldn't know.."

~~

Later that night Sarah came home.

"Finally, I haven't seen you in forever. I could have really used your help this morning" Lindsey said

"Sorry was out with some friends. According to your tall friend last night was pretty fun." She said in a excited voice

"Wouldn't know, don't remember"

"Come on Linds don't pretend you don't know...last night you and Emily...alone you know" It all came back to Lindsey

"SHIT" She grabbed her phone and ran out the don't

Linds- R u in ur room we need to talk...

U better b there I'm coming

Pls respond

Lindsey showed up at her door step and knocked. Rose answered the door,

"What do I owe this pleasure Linds" Rose asked

"Where's Emily I need to talk to her" She said

"Ah so you remember too, she with Sam talking about it"

"Ugh okay thanks" Lindsey started walking away

"Hey Linds.." Rose said

"Yea"

"I'm sorry"

"For...?" Lindsey was confused at this point

"Soon you'll know" Rose shut her door and Lindsey kept walking to Sam and Mal's dorm
