Pole Position (2 page)

I rolled my eyes and shook my head “Sure nine
o’clock...gotcha.” I said with a laugh.   With one last hug, we left then went back to my house so Asher and I could make the four hour drive together. 

Asher
had her little Toyota Camry loaded to the max and I had my 2011 Camaro stuffed to the max.  I felt horrible leaving mom, she was a blubbering mess as we pulled away from the house, I promised to call her as soon as we got to the campus. 

~~~~

Almost five hours and what seemed like one hundred restroom breaks for Asher later, we finally made it to Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.  Once we found the right dorm housing, we wasted no time finding our room.  My mom and Uncle John insisted that we have the best room possible in a non-coed building of course.  Much to my surprise, the dorm was actually more like an apartment with two bedrooms and one bathroom.  I was glad we at least would each have our own room for privacy and that only Asher and I would have to share a bathroom.  The furniture and our beds had been delivered a week before so all we had to do was bring everything from our cars up to the room. 

Two hours later and as many whiney cuss words as Asher could say
, we FINALLY had everything in our rooms.  Just as I went to grab my cell phone, my mom called my;

“Yes mommy dear?” I
answered as I laid back on my bed. 

“You have been gone almost seven hours and haven’t bothered to call me Chassis Brinn!” she said with a sad voice. 

I groaned into the phone, “Mom it took us longer than expected to make the drive because Asher obviously has a birds bladder. Then we had to find the building and unload our cars.  I didn’t forget to call, I was actually getting ready to call you, when you called me.” I said with a yawn. 

Asher came barreling into my bedroom, when she noticed I was on the phone she stood there patiently tapping her foot with her arms crossed over her ches
t.  I finally hung up with mom then set up on my bed;

“What’s up lady?”

“WE need to go out tonight, and scope out the campus, see if this really is the best of the best for sports medicine.” She told me matter of factly.

I wrinkled my eyebrows together
, “How is going out going to show us it’s the best of the best for sports medicine?” 

She threw her arms in the air
, “We need to see the hotties on campus duh!” 

“Can I take a nap first?” I asked
around another yawn.

“Nope now get up before I drag your ass out of that bed Chas.”

“HA, I’d sure like to see you try.”

‘OOKAY then!
” She grabbed me by the ankles and purposely pulled me off the bed onto the floor with a loud thud. 

“OUCH
, you bitch, I was kidding!” I told her as I stood up, rubbing my ass cheeks.  

She raised her eyebrow at me
, “Would you like to see me TRY to get you to go out tonight?”

I rolled my eyes “Whatever Asher, in case you weren’t paying attention
, when we pulled in here and unloaded our cars there were maybe five other vehicles here.” I told her then walked over to the window, “Yep one, two, three, four, five…five cars counting ours.”

She grabbed me by the arm pulled me towards her bedroom, pulled the mini blind up “Count all those vehic
les you smart ass.”

“One, two, thre
...”

I was cut off by her slapping me on the back of the head
, “Shut up, go shower and put something cute on.”

I looked down at what I was wearing, “No, I’m wearing THIS.” I told her pointing at what I had on.

“Impossible Chas, you’re impossible!” she said as she walked out of her bedroom to take a shower. 

As she showered I started unpacking things and putting my school stuff together for Monday. 
Almost an hour later, Asher emerged from her room wearing a pair of Miss Me Jeans with the large bling on the back pockets, a silver sequin tank top that I was pretty sure was see through, a pair of black wedge sandals, and had her long blonde hair braided of to the side.  Asher and I were night and day as far as looks, she had long beautiful blonde hair with naturally tan skin.  My hair is jet black with dark blue highlights that Asher insisted I had to have put in, “They’ll make your eyes pop!” she told me.  Her eyes were brown framed with naturally full eyelashes, I had one grey eye and one blue eye, to make my lashes as thick as Asher’s it took half a tube of mascara.

Asher took one look at me
, “Would it kill you to put make up on?” she asked. 

“Probably.” I told her with a shrug.
 

She dragged me into her bed room, pulled a chair out away from her desk
, then roughly pushed me down onto the chair. 

“Blink, Blink, again, again, Blink.” She said as she went through the tedious
process of trying to make my thin black eyelashes fuller.  Then she put some eye shadow on me giving my eyes the smoky look.  “There, now was that SO BAD?” she asked then laughed when I rolled my eyes at her. Next she grabbed some body spray and sprayed us both, I was coughing and sputtering as we walked out of her room.

“You know, I’m starting to wonder how we are even friends.”
I said as we started to walk out of our dorm room.

She locked the door, turned and looped her arm through mine
, “We are FRIENDS because you would be lost without me, duh.” She said as we walked down the hallway. 

There were a few other girls mingling in the hall way, I smiled and said
, ‘Hi’, to them but they just looked me up and down then continued talking. 

“Well I see we live in a dorm house full of unusually friendly people.” I said to Asher as we made our way outside. 

“Eh, Bitches be hatin’ on you because of your beauty Chass get used to it.” She told me. 

I laughed
, “You’re nuts.  So, where are we going first?” I asked her.  It was dark so it’s not like looking at the campus buildings was easy and I didn’t bother to bring my schedule with me so I could make note of where each building was. 

“Well, do you hear that?” she asked as she cupped her hand around her ear
, “That is bass, THAT is a party.  So THAT, is where we are going, now let’s go find the source.” She told me. 

We walked for
about twenty minutes before we finally arrived at the “source” as Asher put it. It was obvious we were at a frat house of some sort, there were nothing but big muscular guy’s still carrying furniture inside. 

“I think they are still moving in, I’m not sure this is a party Ashe
r.” I told her as one of the guys walked towards us carrying a box.

Asher
stopped him, “Hey there handsome, is this a party or a moving party?” she asked while batting her eyes at him.

“Hey
beautiful ladies, this is indeed a party.  There are drinks inside go help yourself.  We are just finishing up moving things inside.” He told us.  “I’m Mitch by the way.” He said as he stuck his hand out to shake each of ours.

“I’m Asher” she said with a smile
.

“And I’m Chass” I told him and smiled.
 

“So what are you two ladies majoring in?” 

“Sports Medicine” Asher told him. 

He gave us a crooked smile
, “Well, I’ll be seeing you two beautiful ladies on the field in a couple of days.  Once I finish getting this stuff inside I’ll find you two and introduce you to some of the other football players.”

Asher twirled the end
of her braid around her fingers and smiled at him “Sounds good.” She told him. He nodded his head and smiled big at Asher then started back towards the big red brick house.

As soon as he turned away Asher mouthed “Oh my god!” with big eyes.

“Could you have eye fucked him a little more Asher?” I asked as we walked towards the house. 

“Oh, I’m sure I can do A LOT more to him wi
th more than my eyes.”  She told me and wiggled her eyebrows up and down.  I shook my head and followed her inside. 

The front door was open, so we walked inside.  There were people standing in the entry way drinking and talking.  Asher and I smiled as we made our way past everybody trying to find where the drinks were.
Asher reminded me not to take a drink from anybody and don’t set mine down then start drinking it again. “Yes mother.” I told her.  As we were walking past the living room, I heard a guy yell, “You drive like a fucking girl…quit fucking pulling slide jobs on me you asshole.”  Then more guys started laughing.  I looked to see what was going on, there were four guys playing R-factor racing modifieds.  “You bastard!  You just t-boned me while I was spun out asshole!” another guy yelled. 

Asher tugged on my arm, “No way, you are NOT going to spend your night in here playing that damn game Chass.”  She said trying to pull me away from the door way. 

One of the guys turned around “Well…well, look at these two beautiful ladies.” He said.  All of the guys turned at once to look at us, Asher let out a sigh.  “Did I hear Blondie there say you play this?” the one guy asked. 

Asher spoke up
, “She is NOT playing this damn game tonight.” Then pulled me away.  I heard all of the guys erupt into laughter as we walked down the hall. 

We finally found the keg
that was in the middle of a large kitchen , a few guys were standing around it visiting as we each poured us a solo cup full.  A few minutes later Mitch came walking into the kitchen and got his own cup full of beer.  “So you two are in sports med this year, let me introduce some of the other guys.” He said with a smile as he slowly looked Asher over from head to toe.   I looked over at Asher, she was blushing and smiling as we were introduced to the guys standing around the keg. 

“This big goon here is
Kevin, this idiot is Lance, this stud is Abe and the rest of the guys are scattered throughout this place.” Mitch told us.  All the guys took turns shaking our hands.

Lance eyed me up and down
, “I’m pretty sure I’m going to be injured frequently during the season.” He said giving me a crooked grin and a wink. 

“I’m not sure that’s a good idea, I’m pretty new so unless it requires me putting a Band-Aid on you, I’m afraid I won’t be much help until I actually learn something.” I told him with a laugh.

The best way to describe Lance, is breathtakingly handsome.  He was probably six foot three, blonde hair, green eyes and I’m pretty sure he didn’t have an ounce of fat on him.  We were standing around talking as people came up refilling their beers, when suddenly a red headed girl came up and wrapped her arms around Lance’s waist.  He rolled his eyes as she moved around to the side of him. 

“Hey baby, who are your new friends?” she asked as she glared at Asher and me. 

I stuck my hand out, “I’m Chass and this is Asher, it’s nice to meet you.” I said with a smile.

  “Pshh, whatever.  Just a little FYI, all of these guys are taken and we DON’T share.”

“Jesus Christ Carey shut up, they are in the sports med program this year.” Lance said as he pried her hands off of chest.   She rolled her eyes and walked away. 

“Don’t mind her, she’s my
EX
(he emphasized the ex) that can’t stand to see me talking to any chicks at all.  I’m single trust me.” He told me.

“Well she needs to retract her claws and shu
t the hell up.” Asher said.  We all laughed and continued talking about what everybody was majoring in and where we were all from.  It didn’t take long for Lance to notice that my eyes are two different colors, of course he had to have all the other guys and gals standing around us look.  Carey walked up to me and got as close as possible her nose was almost touching mine, “You do know you’ll eventually go blind in the grey eye right?”

I laughed at her “Really, is that why I’ve always had twenty-twenty vision?  It’s called Heterochromia iridium, Google it so you know what you’re talking about.” I told her. Everybody around us erupted into laughter. She stepped back, narrowed her eyes at me then walked off. 

I told Asher that I needed to use the restroom.  Lance said that he would show me where it was, I followed him through the mass of people that were dancing and grinding in the middle of the open living room.  When I came out of the bathroom, Lance was waiting leaning against the wall.  I smiled at him and started to walk away, he grabbed me by my hand and pulled me against his rock hard chest.  I shivered as he bent down running his nose along my neck up to my ear
, “Trust me baby, I’m single don’t listen to her.” He said.  I could feel his erection pressing against my back, I didn’t know what to say so I just smiled and nodded my head then stepped away from him.  I heard him let out a growl as he followed me back into the kitchen.  Asher was sitting on the counter with Mitch standing between her legs whispering something in her ear.  She blushed and giggled, when she seen me standing there she blushed even more then pushed at his chest. 

She jumped off the counter and walked over to me
, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, but I think I’m ready to go back to the dorm, it’s been a long day.” I told her. 
She agreed so we told all the guys bye, once we were outside I told Asher about Lance, she smiled big;
