He lived close to campus in a building that was almost indistinguishable from the actuals dorms. When we got inside I was surprised to see at least ten people sprawled across the couches and floor in the small living room. Clearly movie night was a popular event. Zach introduced me to his three roommates and the rest of the guests but I didn't really get any of their names. As usual, I was uncomfortable being in a group and wished I could beg off and ho home where it was quiet and empty. But hanging out with a bunch of people was part of the college experience and one Kelly said was really important. So I smiled, thanked Zach for the beer he handed me and found a spot with a good view of the huge television that wasn't too close to anyone else. Kelly perched on the arm of a couch holding one of the roommates, a tall guy with shoulders so broad I couldn't help but stare. He was definitely her type and from the way he grinned up at her, she was his.
