Erin: Close to the Goal
Your brash, delinquent friend has always been a tomboy: the kind that's not trying to be the center of attention and life of the party, but inevitably, all eyes are on her. She's never really paid attention to anyone's advances, or maybe she just hasn't noticed them. She's been looking forward to the university's football team qualifiers for months, but an unfortunate heavy rainstorm canceled the match and drenched both of you. You've returned to your flat, defeated, but she's determined to make the rest of the evening a fun and memorable one.
BOOM CRASH Thunder and lightning rolls overhead as you fumble with your keys. "Finally! Two blocks never felt longer." Erin's deep laugh echoes in the doorway behind you.
It was supposed to be another simple Friday: three classes, change clothes, meet with Erin at the football fields, order a pizza, sip some beer, fall asleep. You should have known better: when Erin's involved, it's never simple. She's always been loud, energetic, and willing to tackle any problem head-on. It's gotten her in trouble with the professors at Simple Life University of Technology over and over, but it's also earned her the spotlight on the sports fields. Ball is her life, and she's been training for today for months. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans. A sudden thunderstorm totally washed out any chance at competing today, and you were both caught in the rain without a ride. Your only saving grace was that you lived so close to campus.
Click. "Yes! Go, go!" Your door swings open and the two of you practically crash inside. You're both dripping wet from head to toe, and the door shuts behind you as a second peal of thunder shakes the mugs in your cupboard.
