“What did you guys do this summer?” Eric asked.  The 3 boys had met Eric the first day when the lacrosse team was having their meeting for incoming players. 

            “We went to the beach for a week with Mason’s grandparents and I don’t know we just chilled.” John said, lounging back in a chair in the common area of their dorm building.

            “Why did you go with old people?” Kevin asked.  Kevin was another lacrosse player from Pennsylvania.

            “Well, we didn’t go with them. My grandparents have a beach house, so we just stayed with them.”  Mason explained to the boys.

            “Oh, that makes sense!” Kevin exclaimed, nodding his head.

            “So, it was just you three? Oh, and Mason’s grandparents?” Eric asked them.

            The three boys, Mason, John, and Logan, looked at each other nervously. “I know that look,” Kevin shouted, “You hooked up with some chicks didn’t you?”

            “Wha- no! We did not “hook up” with anyone,” Logan explained, “We just, we got to know some girls.”

            “Well, were they hot?” Eric asked.  All three boys looked at each other, trying not to think about how beautiful they all were.  “Well, what were their names?”

            “Kaitlin, Lauren, and Tara. Why?” John said.

            All of a sudden Kevin’s eyes lit up. “Wait, what were these girls’ last names?”  Kevin went to high school with three girls with the exact same names, but could it be possible that they were talking about the same girls?

            “Kaitlin Lewin, Lauren Cortese, and Tara Percival, I think.” Logan told Kevin.

            “Wait, I know those girls! I went to high school with them back in Pennsylvania!” Kevin shouted across the room.

            “No way!” John said back.

            “No one answered my question. Are. These. Girls. Hot?” Eric said. 

            The three boys, and Kevin all nodded their heads.  Mason, John, and Logan shot Kevin a glance and Kevin replied, “What? I’m not denying the facts here.” 

            “Yeah, we got really close to them, but then on the last day they just kind of left and, well, we haven’t talked to them since.” John said, looking down at the ground.

            “Dude, why don’t I invite them to the party Friday night?  They all got into Florida State, so that’s only what, 2 hours from here?” Kevin said.

            The boys all really wanted to see Kaitlin, Lauren, and Tara, but they didn’t know if they were ready for all the memories to come flooding back.  “Yes! Do it!” Mason said, a little too eagerly.  He was excited because he and Lauren had kind of kept in touch over the weeks, and this would be the perfect time to get together again.  Logan wanted to talk to Tara again and John, well John needed an explanation from Kaitlin about what the hell happened that day.

            “Alright, I’ll give them a call now.” Kevin said, getting up from the chair and heading to his dorm.  He headed to his room and grabbed his phone.  He dialed Tara’s number and leaned back in his desk chair.

            “Hello?” Tara asked.

            “Tara! Hey! It’s Kevin!”
