[6]: illicit affairs

we arrived at Iowa for 12 and got to explore a bit.

the campus was huge and i would definitely get lost soon, especially with izzy.

we went to a cafe to get some drinks, izzy deciding to go to the bathroom and leave me alone in the line.

the door opened and closed as i stood third in the line, waiting to order, scrolling through instagram.

'omg are you arianna ?' i heard a girl ask from behind me.

i turned around and saw a girl in a uconn tracksuit, and hat.

'um yeah i am' i said confused.

'i'm kk, im friends with paige' she grinned.

'oh hi, you alright ?' i laughed at the girl.

'yeah im good, please let me take a pic with you to make paige jealous' she practically begged.

'why would she be jealous' i asked.

'no reason' she shrugged 'but pleaseee'

'since you asked nicely' i joked.

she pulled out her phone, standing next to me.

i smiled, leaning toward the girl as she took a picture of us.

'i can see why she likes you' she chuckled, standing next to me.

i just laughed at her, still confused about this whole conversation.

'so do you play for the basketball team ?' i asked.

'yeah what gave it away ?' she asked sarcastically.

'well it wasn't the height for sure' i teased.

'hey, you're not tall either' she faked hurt, lightly punching my shoulder.

'i've come to terms with it' i told her thoughtfully.

'i'm sooo jealous of your accent' she groaned.

'it's like one of the worst english accents, i hate it' i complained.

'there's different accents ?' she questioned dumbfounded.

'yeah ?' i replied 'did you not know this ?'

'no what the hell, do one' she said.

'absolutely not' i replied, wide eyed, as the line moved forwards.

'pleasseee' she asked.

'if you do the texas one' i challenged.

'that's the worst one' she huffed.

'damn and i was gonna show you a scouse accent' i shrugged.

'scouse ? what's that ? that's sound cool please do it' she blabbered.

'no texas, no scouse' i said nonchalantly.

'fine' she huffed 'i like 'merica, cowboys and church' she practically yelled in a terrible texas accent.

i couldn't stop myself from bursting out laughing at the girl, turning away to not laugh in her face.

'it wasn't that bad' she whined.

'it really was' i shook my head laughing.

'come onn it's your turn' she rolled her eyes as the door opened again.

'hey kk, hey ari' paige greeted as she walked up to us.

'oh hey paige' i smiled

'hey' kk frowned.

'what's up with you' she asked kk.

'she's making fun of me' she pouted.

'that's my girl' paige grinned, putting her hand over my shoulder.

'she's my girl, i have proof' kk spoke, her mood quickly changing as she pulled up the picture we took earlier.

'ari what is this, are you cheating on me as your favourite basketball player ?' she gasped.

'hate to tell you but you never were, it was always azzi' i sighed sympathetically.

'then izzys my favourite soccer player' she retaliated.

'that's fine, it's football anyway' i said to her.

'uh uh' she shook her head as i went to order.

i said my order and turned to the girls stood behind me.

'what do you guys want i'll get it' i offered.

'free coffee !' kk grinned.

'coffee' i laughed 'and ?' i turned to paige.

'nah it's okay i got it' she dismissed.

'shut up, i still need to pay your back for this morning' i told her.

'ooh what happened this morning guys ?' kk raised her eyebrows.

'she got me a coffee' i rolled my eyes.

'soo ?' i turned back to the blonde.

'iced tea please' she smiled.

i ordered the drinks, including izzys who was still in the bathroom and got told my number.

'hey guys will you wait for the drinks, i'm gonna go check on iz' i asked the two.

'yeah no problem' paige nodded as i smiled and walked to the bathroom.
