@Deleted User BING

Ian McCall had just signed his letter of intent several months ago, being persuaded to forego the final year of his high school wrestling career to get his GED and begin taking classes at Western Virginia State University. The college was very new and had just made the jump to a division one sports school after the contributors to the school began racking in huge sponsorships and money. He took this offer over several dozen others because they offered him something that he couldn't get with any of the other schools. Away from everything else that was distracting to him. Ian smiled as he stepped out of his car in the parking lot of co-ed Tristen Dorms, he looked up at the pillars of the facility. It was a glamorous school for something that had only been built ten years ago. He pulled his suitcase full of clothes, gym bag full of knick knacks, and bookbag with laptop and school supplies in it. He led a very minimalist life style and did not want to bring too much with him to this school. He smiled as he began to walk up the stairs, to the elevator, pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket, seeing the words 'Fourth floor, dorms 3, room 4.' Smiling, he grabbed his stuff, hitting the button for the fourth floor and waiting for the car to come, looking over to the blonde girl beside of him, nodding his head, "How are you?"

Pearl herself just dived into the new world of college in a ball of nerves, pursuing her dream of being a softball athlete. She had always loved sports of all kinds, and being active all the time. She had heard of this new college and how popular it had gotten with sports itself, and she was curious. Taking in the offer to be in the new softball team with girls of all ages. Pearl would step out of her car, bringing...various suitcases. The dorms they had been offered could be debated as better then most colleges around. It was basically a small apartment, a home away from home. That was something this college could offer was a better living situation, they had the land to do it anyways. Trailing behind her she pulled a rolling suitcase, and then a bookbag filled with school essentials and other essentials, and then a bag slung over her side. She had quite a bit more to bring too, two more suitcases were being brought in by one of the staff members to the elevator. She'd check her slip to see where she had to go for her dorm, them realizing she stopped next to a guy and he greeted her! "Oh hi! I'm pretty good...like nervous excited. What about you?"

"Serious nervous energy here," he said with a nervous giggle to follow, "Never had a roommate before so I am excited to see who that would be. The dorms look cozy from what I have seen though." Making small talk to calm his nerves, Ian was a very private person, so sharing a living space of any kind was new for him. He was happily smiling at the girl, but seen staff members of the school helping her with her stuff, her loaded down herself, "Do you mind if I help out?" He asked with a grin, "I just have this small amount of stuff with me." As he reached over, he waited to see if he could help her out. "What room are you in?"

Pearl grinned and shrugged a bit as he mentioned he was also nervous. "You know, it can't be as bad as living with siblings. As long as my roommate doesn't steal my clothes, I think we'll be fine." She said with a small laugh, shaking her head. "They do look pretty cozy, I even saw that they have jacuzzi tubs? Like hello? Imagine how that's gonna feel after a long day of practice." Pearl would watch as he offered to help, smiling in appreciation. "Awh, sure! Thank you yeah feel free. I think I'm going to regret this, but we're gonna be here for years so! I don't think it's a bad idea." She'd unshoulder the bag that was slung on her, handing it to him. "Oh, I think it was on the fourth floor, I already forgot the last two parts. I'm gonna have to double check."

Ian laughed at her jacuzzi comment, "I know, that is gonna be so freaking nice after a long day of practice," he said as he grabbed the bag from her, "So, your an athlete too? That's crazy, this must be the athlete dorm then. I am actually on the fourth floor as well, so won't be too far of a walk for me." As they waited for the car to arrive, he slung her back over himself as he waited, but turned to stare at the girl, her bronze skin, blonde hair, dark eyes, she was indeed gorgeous. "So, where are you originally from?" He asked as he car arrived and they stepped in, Ian took the bags from the staff members, piled them together with his suitcase as the other one was left for her roll as well.

Pearl would use her open hand to dig out the paper again, peering over the location of her dorm. "Okay yeah, floor four, third dorm and room four." She nodded, pocketing her piece of paper. "And yeah! I do softball, what about you?" She smiled widely at him, adjusting the bag on her back to sit more comfortably. "Originally, if we really wanna get deep into it, my mom is from Italy, and my dad is...well, as white as can be. How I didn't get dark hair I have no idea, but I tan amazingly." She laughed, shaking her head. "I was born in America though, so..nothing crazy cool there about me. What about you?"

Ian smiled for a moment as he let her continue talking about her mom, but when she asked about him, "Well, that's crazy," as he digs the piece of paper out of his pocket as well, "Floor four, third dorm and room four as well." "I am actually from Iowa. A small cornfield in the middle of nowhere. Getting away from the noise there," he said calmly, not wanting to bring much into it, "I am here on a wrestling scholarship myself. Actually, I think this is first year they are having both, if I am not wrong?" He smiled as the door opened and a few people were hustling around the halls of the dorm, move in day was always said to be a bit of a crazy one, but this was definitely saner than he thought it would be. However, the darting of people back and forth was not unknown to him. He smiled as he grabbed what he could of their stuff and began to walk towards the sign, reading it. "Uh, looks like the rooms are this way?" As he walks to his left out of the elevator, a couple of doors down from the elevator, he was greeted with a large wooden door that had a big three on it. "This must be it?" Each dorm in the hallway had enough room for two people to live comfortable, but also a living area. Unsure of why they had assigned them the same bed number, but it could have had something to do with the room having no private bedding area. Just two beds in a separated room. Entering the dorm, he could see this layout before them.

Pearl blinked in surprise. "Well I'll be damned. Guess we're roomies! No stealing my clothes, m'kay?" She teased and relaxed in the car of the elevator. "Oh shit Iowa? That's awesome. And wrestling is intense dude, that's cool. That's a good sport to be in, honestly. I feel like the hype of other sports is dying out slowly." Pearl spoke thoughtfully, tapping her chin. "Who knows though. I'm here on a softball scholarship, so that'll be fun! I'm pumped for it, I love this sport." Pearl grinned after speaking. Once the doors opened she was surprised to see the hustle and bustle of people, but it made sense. She'd follow him as he lead the way, silently confirming to herself that they were headed in the right direction to their room. Once they entered their room, she was impressed by what they were given. "Well damn, this isn't bad. I can't complain, what about you?"

"Definitely not," he said with a smile, "I am use to having an 8x10 foot room to have all my stuff in. A living room with a bathroom and everything is awesome. Let's see what the rooms look like." He already knew that the bedrooms would not be private due to the pamplets and information he was given about the college and that he would be in a co-ed dorm, but he had no idea it would be with another athlete, especially someone as built and hot as her, he smiled. Looking at her, they were almost the same height, with her just being an inch or two shorter than him. Smiling, he walked forward and opened the door to the dorms. "Beauty before age," he said with a smile, as he let her walk in front of him, fresh out of high school, all this was new to him. As he threw his bag, gym bag, and suitcase on his bed, he took what he had of hers to her bed. "Thoughts?" he would ask, curious to see what she thought.

Pearl took some time to examine the room and walk around, getting used to navigating it. "Honestly...it's pretty cool. I can't complain. What about you?" After she asked and awaited conversation to keep rolling, she'd start situating what to put where. She realized she indeed fucked up, there likely wasn't enough room for all her things, and she sighed. "I might need to get some extra storage."

"I honestly think it is too much," he said with a sigh, as he threw his suitcase on the bed, admiring it for a few moments before opening it to reveal very loose clothing. A couple of shirts, shorts, jogging pants, and a pair of jeans, "Honestly, you can take my closet space. I am not gonna be needing it," pointing to the bigger five shelves of a dresser in the corner, "That is more than enough for what I got." He continues unpacking as he strikes up conversation again, "So, like, what state do you come from?"

"Hoooooooboy. Heck yeah. I need all I can get. I overestimated." Pearl happily got up and examined the closet on her side, assuming it was the same on his side. "Okay...I'll use mine first. I don't wanna have to use your side until I have to. You know?" Pearl smiled, beginning to unpack a suitcase. It had pretty much the essentials to go in a dresser first. Underwear stuff, shirts, some pants, pajamas, and hoodies. "Oh! I'm from Florida. A very...very crazy state. The stories I have from random things I've seen." Pearl giggled, shaking her head. "You ever see an alligator cross the road? That's like...a normal occurrence for us."

Ian laughed for a moment, "I got one for you, you ever see a cow crossing the road," he smiled as he looked over at her, "Might not be as extreme as an alligator, but definitely just as large of an issue." As they continued to unpack their stuff, minding their own businesses and make small chit-chat, a knock could be heard on the door from outside of them, Ian excused himself to go and check it, opening the door, he was greeted by a big dude, maybe 6'9" or 6'10", towering over Ian's 6 foot tall frame, "Hey, I am looking for Ian McCall and Pearl Hayes?" "You got them," he said with a smile as he stepped out of the way to let him in, the door frame barely able to fit him in, "I just wanted to welcome you all to Tristen Hall, I know you two are some of the last ones to arrive, but I am the floor director. If you all have any issues or anything like that, I wanted to let you know I am at the very end of the floor and doesn't hesitate to meet up. Also, this is provided by the school. Go Miners!" He laughs as he hands Ian a full outfit, hoodie, shirt, jogging pants, and socks. "Is Pearl around by chance?" He asked as he stood in the living area.

"A cow? Oh my gosh. I can imagine how hard it'd be to get them back where they need to be." She laughed, sighing after as the image remained in her head. As hours of unpacking and talking went by, she heard someone knock and come in. She was curious, eventually standing up just in time for the guy to ask where Pearl was. "Heya! I heard my name, so that's me! I'm Pearl, what's up?" Somehow after all this unpacking, this girl still had so much energy.

"Pearl, nice to meet you," he said with a smile, "I am Jamichael. I am the floor director here, I was telling Ian if you all have any issues, I wanted to let you know I am at the very end of the floor and doesn't hesitate. Also, this is provided by the school. And I actually had something for you as well." He hands a package to Pearl as he walked back to the door. He handed Pearl the same clothing that he handed Ian, the school swag featuring the logo of WVSU and a Miner logo as well, "Congrats to both of you for making your teams and we can't wait to see what you do on the field and in the classroom. You all enjoy and I hope unpacking goes well."

Pearl nodded to Jamichael and smiled, accepting the box and clothes. "Oh, thank you!" She held the stuff and watched him walk off after his introduction and congrats. "Thank you!!" She'd look down at the box and see it was from...her parents! "Oh wow, they already got something sent to me?" Pearl would walk to her room and sit down on the bed, finding a way to open it.

Ian smiled as he followed her back into the room, he had finished unpacking about an hour ago, so he had just been making casual conversation with her. He pulled out his keys from his pocket and handed a pocket knife keychain to her, "Here you go, that should do it." As he sat back on the bed, he pulled his phone up for the first time in a few hours, the following had popped up: Bae: Hey baby i hope you made it okay and moving in. luv ya. hope the guy you are rooming with is not a dick. He grimaced for a moment, he had not told her that he would be moving into a co-ed dorm, that was just not an argument he wanted, he responded: Ian: made it fine, unpacking now and making conversation, they are pretty cool. will message later. He turned back to Pearl, "Parents excited, aren't they?"

Pearl took the pocket knife Keychain and sighed in relief. "Ugh thank you. If only I could have nails, those could've done the trick." She'd comment lightly, opening the box. Inside was some cash for her, and some homemade goods like cookies, brownies, and some 'turtles', which were pretzels with a Rolo melted on each one. A note was inside as well. Hi Pearly girly! Here's some treats for you to last you a while, let yourself relax a little while in college! Call us when you can after getting this! We love you! ~Mom and Dad "Awhhhh... they're gonna melt my heart, I swear."

Ian smiled at her comment, at least her parents missed her and wanted to see her succeed. "So, house rules," Ian jumped off the bed, proclaiming as he smiled at her, "Any baked goods that are sent to the dorm have to be shared with the roommate, that is rule number one. Unless the roommate is having to cut weight, then you must push him or her away from it as much as possible. Agreed?" He laughed as he walked across the bedroom area and sat on the bed beside of them, looking down into the box that she received, commenting, "Oh, those little things look like turtles."

Pearl laughed, rolling her eyes. "You know what, I can't eat this all myself anyways. I think that was the intention here, they made so much of these sweets." She commented faintly, then nodding her head to the rule. "Agreed." When he sat down and commented on the turtles, Pearl laughed. "Please tell me you've had one before! Thats the whole point, here, try one." She'd pick one up and hand it over to him. "They're my favorite."

Ian munched into it, the sweet and salty taste covered his taste buds as he threw his head back in enjoyment, "Oh my god," he said with a smile, "That is soooooo good. Is that a Rolo?" He continued to munch on it as he waited for answer, looking for at the bed. "We might need to get a fridge and stuff to keep stuff like this in, I mean there is a community kitchen and bathroom down the hall. Luckily we got our own bathroom, but not kitchen." As he ate the cookie, "I guess," he said as he turned to Pearl, "On the subject of rules, do you have any you wanna throw my way? I never had siblings or anything like that, so I am not sure on what is needed to be done in this kinda situation."

Pearl laughed at his initial reaction, nodding to answer his question. "Yes! It is a Rolo, that's what makes it taste AMAZING. Chocolate AND caramel, with a pretzel? You can't go wrong, honestly." "Maybe like a mini fridge, or do you think a full size fridge would be better? Where would we put it?" She'd ask as she glanced around the room, already attempting to find the best spot for it. "Well, rule number one," She'd answer to his question about rules, "...no taking my clothes. That's a biggie." Pearl would laugh, knowing he wouldn't do that any way. "And two, do NOT, and I mean, DO NOT. Say 'EWWWWWW' when I mention normal female body things, do you understand?" She'd squint at him, hoping he'd understand what she had meant by that.

Ian nodded at both rule one and giggled at rule number two, "People still do that?" Ian laughed as he stood up and started to walk towards the living room of the dorm, "I mean, its normal body stuff," he said with a smile as he reached the door, "I think the same would apply for you. I don't think you have ever seen an actual wrestlers room. If you walk in and I am in a sweatsuit, running in place, with a pool of sweat in front of me, same applies to you. No ewws. I will let you finish getting settled in. I am going to see what they have in the living room." Laughing, he headed to the living area, leaving you alone in the room as he begins to move around the living area.

Pearl grinned and chuckled a bit, relieved he didn't think it was gross. "Great, you're the first guy to say that besides my dad. My brother's hated it and my boyfriends have too. It's so lame." Even the one I'm with now... Pearl sighed and got up reluctantly to finish unpacking and getting things right where she wanted. "I need a naaaaaaaaaaaap.."

Ian laughed at her loud exclaim as he exited the room, turning the corner to the small couch and 40 inch TV that sat in front of them, he smiled, leaping over the back of the couch and looking up at the TV. "Nice, now wheres the..." he said scanning the area in front of him for a remote of some kind before spotting it on the table in front of him, "Ah, there it is." He grabbed it and hit the power button as he scanned the rest of the room around him while the TV was powering on. Photos of the campus hung on the wall, several different landmarks, as well as what looked like a small closet to the back of the room with a door, he would need to see what was actually in there later. Turning around softly, he say a tile floor behind him with a door to a bathroom, it appears, beyond that. "I wonder where that jacuzzi is."

Pearl groaned to herself and briefly lectured him. "I'm taking a nap, but I'm changing first. DO NOT LOOK. I mean it." She scolded him, starting to get her comfy clothes out to nap in. After he had answered, she'd begin undressing and making sure she was kinda out of sight? At least as best as she could. She'd pull her top over her body and tossed it aside, pulling on an oversized hoodie. Then, she'd change her pants to some sweats, and finally flopped onto her bed. Pearl would grab her phone and set an alarm for...two hours from now.

Ian laughed, "You know the door to the bedroom area does close, right?" he turned hoping he might see a glimpse, but she was hidden behind the wall, "But, I promise I am not looking." As he heard her maneuvering, he turned his head to the television in front of him, he flipped on to find that only streaming services were popping up there. "Lame," he said with a sigh, "Hey, you don't happen to have..." Before he could say the sentence loud enough or turn to see her, he saw her reflection in the screen of the television. As she bend over to take her pants off, he was able to get a glimpse of her panties, surround her very tone ass. He would be lying if he said that didn't have some kind of a effect on him, but he quickly glanced away to act like he didn't see it. As he heard her flop on the somewhat noisy bed, he laughed, "Good night, then! See you in a little bit."

Pearl laughed a bit and shrugged. " Yep, night!" And with that she passed out. Oblivious to any chance of him seeing anything. The two hours had passed and her phone alarm went off, making Pearl groan at first. But of course, when an alarm goes off, in an athlete's mind it means get the hell up. So, she turned it off and then checked said phone, seeing a couple missed messages from none other then her boyfriend. hey, how's moving? hellooooo? you better not be ignoring me.. Pearl! ANSWER ME! Ugh, what a headache...

Ian did a couple of things to pass the time, downloading a couple of streaming apps on the television like YouTube and anything free he could find. He never really had any personal streaming services himself. So, anything free would have to make do. Standing up and grabbing his phone from his pocket, he saw a couple of text messages showing:

Bae: What are you doing?

Bae: Are you going to talk to me?

Bae: Bet you found some new bitch...

Bae: I am sorry, please talk to me

. All sent within the course of thirty minutes. He sighed as he replied: Me: Everything is fine, nothing to worry about, just getting settled, sorry for missing your messages.

Pearl rolled her eyes and sighed, slowly getting up. She'd stretch and groan, making her way out of the bedroom. "Ughhhh...what did I miss? Anything crazy?" She'd smile and plop down on the couch, relaxing next to him as she looked to the TV.

"Well, good morning, sunshine," he said with a smile, "Nothing too awful crazy, just exploring what they have on the television, its a Roku TV, so no actually channels, just streaming stuff which I have none of." He tossed the remote on the counter, letting an old wrestling match from his high school play on the television, but turning to her, "How did you sleep? Any good dreams?" He always like to hear about peoples dreams when they first wake up, it can really tell you what was on a person mind.

"Heyooo." She answered, shrugging once more. "Ahhh, nothing crazy. The only dream I had is one where like, I somehow was with someone I didn't know, and then we rid a unicorn? Which brought us to like this exotic island, and boom. End of dream. Short and simple."

"Sounds like a fun dream at least," he said with a smile as he watched her describe it to him, "But I wonder who this mystery person could be?" Ian smiled at her, he still knew absolutely nothing about this person, but he figured he would learn more about her as it went. "So, hey, my dad gave me like $500 dollars as a graduation slash going off to college gift, you wanna waste some on pizza?"

"I'm not sure. Who knows, I bet I'll figure it out." Pearl smiled back to him and then blinked in surprise at his suggestion. "Pizza? Ohhhh man, you're a bad influence." Pearl teased, getting up. "Lenme grab my phone first!" As she picked up her phone, it had been bombarded with not so nice messages from her boyfriend. Viewing them over briefly on the lock screen didn't feel great and she resorted to just pocketing it after swiping them away.

As he watched her reenter the room, he could see a small change in facial expression, "Uh," he said to try and get her attention for a moment, "Everything okay?" He jumped up as he looked at her, moving to a phone book and stack of local menus that was there, bringing them to the coffee table in front of the table as he waited for her answer.

Pearl hated this about her. And he would learn real quick. She could never hide her emotions, she was terrible at that. And also, a terrible liar. Like..painfully, laughably bad. "Yeah...I uh...I just watched a sad TikTok is all." She cleared her throat and headed over to the table, eyeing over their options. "Soooo, pizza. What were you thinking? Wings too maybe?"

Something about her demeanor told her that was a lie, but he barely knew her, so why would he be the one to judge? He smiled as she cleared her throat and he looked at her, "Well, here is the menu for a place called Ginos? I have never heard of it, but it looks local and the pizza on the menu looks amazing. Wings for you and spaghetti for me. My Italian is showing as well, I think."

Pearl looked over the menu, smiling and humming in thought. "Hey, it's okay. We can both be little Italians for the night." She tapped her chin, mulling over her options. "Definitely some garlic parm or barbecue wings. Wanna share a pizza too?" Pearl would point to the pizza side of the menu, seeing some interesting options.

"Definitely," he said with a smile, "Biggest they got, what you like on yours?" he asked, his head turning like a puppy hearing a strange noise, "I like pepperoni only myself, but I am okay with testing new stuff. I mean after all I am a college gentleman now." He made a fake little motion like he was straightening a fact tie under his chin. "Should I call and order or do you want too?"

Pearl laughed and smiled, seeing the topping options they had. "Well, we could add bacon and sausage and call it that? If you wanna try it, at least. If not I'm totally cool with just pepperoni, I don't discriminate with pizza." Pearl couldn't help but laugh a bit as he mentioned being a college gentleman, and the gesture that followed. "If you wanna call go right ahead! I don't mind."

Ian smiles at her as she laughs, she has really cute laugh, he thought as he pulled out his phone, pulling the phone app and beginning to dial. "Yeah, I need to do an order for delivery? Tristen Dorms on WVSU campus? Dorm 3. Alright, I need the extra large pizza, with pepperoni, sausage, and bacon, an order of half garlic parm and half barbarque wings, and an order of spaghetti with meat sauce. Can I go ahead and pay for it over the phone?" He looked over a Pearl who was smiling as he order, Jesus, this roomie situation might not have been a great idea, he is seeing her little mannerisms and seeing himself smiling more and more. He read his card info to the girl over the phone and said thank you before hanging up, "Well, we got about thirty minutes before it will be here, what do we do for now?"

Pearl would settle on the couch as he ordered the food, seeing the videos playing on the screen. And holy. She was surprised for a few moments, then pulling herself away from the screen and grabbing her phone. Not like that was any better. She'd read this long paragraph where her boyfriend was basically trying to manipulate her into responding to him ASAP. She rolled her eyes and sighed, pocketing the phone and rubbing her forehead.

Ian looked over at her as he finished his sentence, smiling over at her but seeing her stressfully rubbing her forehead, "Uh," he said with a smile as he leaned forward, placing his hand on her shoulder for a moment, "Everything okay? You honestly do seem stressed?" He smiled as he looked back up at the screen to see himself on the screen, but turning back to her to wait for her response.

Pearl looked up to see him and sighed faintly. "Just some bullshit I should've gotten rid of long ago. I just don't have the balls." She shrugged it off and leaned back into the couch, attempting to relax. "I'll be okay."

Ian frowned at her answer, he hate to hear that, but he understood that this might be something that she would have to do herself, but he wouldn't be doing him justice if he didn't at least offer, "Anything I can do to help out with that?"

"Ahh, I'm not sure. It's okay though, I promise." She smiled and then no so obviously changed the subject. Her gaze looked up at the TV and she pointed to it. "When did this happen? Like a match or a championship?"

Ian smiled at her as he watched the match in front of him, the memories flooding his brain as he recalled, "October of last year," he said with grin, having a way of remembering certain moments, "This was actually the first time I ever wrestled a girl." Almost as if on queue, his opponent, a 5'5ish, 155 pound girl walked onto the mat in front of him, it was only in this moment that he realized how revealing his singlet was. A little red developing on his cheeks as she could really just see all of him.

"Oh wow!" She smiled and watched the match, impressed that opposing genders could wrestle each other. Pearl was intrigued and kept watching, then looked to Ian. She realized he seemed a little flushed and well...she found out why. She giggled awkwardly and shook her head. "Dude, why is it common with sports to wear skin tight things? Only half the time is it comfy."

Ian could feel a full body shade of red coming as you could clearly see his junk popping out in the orange singlet that he wore while wrestling, "I mean," he said with a nervous chuckle, "They definitely don't help us kept things private, do they? Do your softball uniforms do the same thing?" He laughed as he continued to sit and watch as the match began, he quickly took the girl down, but she maneuvered under him and he moved his body a little bit forward, the camera not doing him any favors as it zoomed in on his ass and subsequently his package hanging.

Pearl shook her head and sighed. "The uniforms are certainly skin tight on the lower half. I know it's supposed to help with like, when you slide or whatever but still. It can be uncomfortable some days." She respectfully looked away after the camera zoomed in, laughing a bit. "Was the cameraperson female too?" She'd tease, giggling more. There was no avoiding the obvious there.

Ian laughs as he looks at her, he would be lying if he said he didn't wanna see her in that softball uniform, but answered her question, "Uh, yeah, that was Katie." He remembered Katie, she was a senior and graduated this year, but he had got his GED and left before their graduation day. She really liked him from what he could remember, her even admitting so, which resulted in one of his biggest arguments with his now girlfriend, but he didn't admit all of that, just watching the video, "She was a senior with me, openly admitting to me that she liked me, this is not the first time this happened either."

Pearl giggled under her breath, shaking her head. "Ah man...a hopeless crush. Been there done that, but that's too much." She'd then reach over and grab the remote, pulling up a video of her softball team against an away team. The video started with someone else at bat, but Pearl was in her gear warming up to swing. "This was against our rival school, the Cardinals. We were nearly neck and neck and our rotation of batters was basically our last chance to score any homeruns."
