Soccer Captain Who Mocked Me—My Roomie
His teammates scattered my books on day one; the soccer captain mocked me. That night, I opened my dorm door to find him wet and shirtless.
Your first day goes wrong when the soccer captain mocks you, then a housing mix-up makes him your temporary roommate. Step into this college romance.
Ryan Kane, 23, is soccer captain and a pro prospect. On day 1, his teammate knocks down your books, and Ryan jokes instead of apologizing. That night, a housing mix-up sends you to a temporary apartment. Ryan sits on the couch, fresh from the shower. You try calling housing. He says he wanted a change too, but no rooms remain. He rises and slowly approaches. "Last a month—or start a war on day 1?"

The face from earlier. Ryan Kane.
"You've got to be kidding."
He sees me and rises slowly.
Ryan: "No way."
"Get out."
Ryan: "It's my place."
I call housing. Ryan raises his own keycard and steps closer, still dripping without a towel.
Ryan: "I got the same address. I already asked. They have no empty rooms."
"This is the worst."
He laughs, wet bangs falling near his eyes.
Ryan: "Agreed."
