Andrea's POV- May 2017

"Dre, can you look through my thesis one last final time?"

I glanced up and nodded as I saved the final draft of my thesis.

"Only if you do the same for me" I compromised.

My housemate, Oscar smiled and nodded. I live with two guys and three girls, for a total of six people (myself included) in the house. The only ones. It graduating were Rory and her roommate, Jessica. My roommate, Ximena had taken a seminar, so she would not be writing a thesis. Oscar, Brandon, and I chose to write a thesis. Oscar was majoring in Biology, and Brandon in Chemical Engineering. According to both of them, by the time commencement came we would all be experts in three types of research.

"Deal"

He placed his laptop in front of me, and sat across me with my laptop in front of him.

"How's your ankle?"

"A bit sore" I admitted.

I sprained my ankle during last night's game.

"Are you limping?"

"Trying not to" I replied.

"Does Chris know?"

"No, he told me he was going to watch last night's game after his game today" I answered.

"That game got canceled"

The Dodgers were playing the Padres.

"It's raining in SoCal right now"

Oscar was born and raised in San Diego.

"AtBat just announced it like 10 minutes ago"

I looked at him and reached for my phone. He was correct, I had a notification telling me that the game had been postponed due to weather conditions. It was currently raining in California.

"You should probably call him"

"I will, once I finish reading your thesis" I promised.

"So are you and him exclusive?"

I glanced at him and nodded.

"Yes, he brought it up the other night" I said.

He hummed and looked back at my laptop.

"Good boy"

I just shook my head and continued reading his draft.

"You've fixed a lot of the spelling and grammar" I noted.

"Brandon helped me last night"

Our attention turned towards my phone and laptop that began ringing.

"FaceTime call from loverboy"

He glanced up at me.

"Talk with him while I finish this up" I told him.

So he did just that.

"Hey Chris, Dre is across from me reading my thesis for me, so you get to talk with me for the time being"

Chris just chuckled.

"Alright, how have you been?"

Oscar frowned.

"I hate both you and Cody at the moment"

I just smiled as I continued reading.

"Why's that?"

Because the Dodgers had beaten the Padres the past two games, and could have possibly swept them today if it weren't for the postponement.

"You're beating my home team man"
