Who would have thought that our very own Roan King would actually settle down with a girl? And look so damn content doing it??? *Headshake* Mind totally blown... KingOfCampus.comI glance at the leaden-colored clouds overhead and hope the weather holds. The last thing I need is for the sky to open up and pour down on us. The day is overcast and there's a definite chill to the air. What else would you expect in Cincinnati at the end of October? I'm tempted to pinch myself. It's difficult to believe that I'm here. Lexie squeezes my hand as we stand outside the Aronoff Center where the Cincinnati Ballet performs.This isn't the first time I've been here. My mom and I spent a long weekend in Cincinnati and took in a show. The CBC performed the Nutcracker at Christmas time. It was nothing short of magical. The entire time I sat in the audience, my gaze stayed glued to the dancers on stage in their gorgeous costumes with their graceful sweeping movements. I remember whisperin

I hear the smile in his voice when he says, "Welcome to the Cincinnati Ballet.""Thank you." I can't help but squeeze my eyes shut and kick my legs in the air. "Thank you so much!"We say our goodbyes and I sit there for I-don't-know-how-long just staring at the phone in my hand. My entire body vibrates with excitement.I'm going to dance with the Cincinnati Ballet!My first impulse is to race over to Roan's apartment and share the good news with him.As I sprint to the door, doubt niggles its way into my brain. I mean...how will we make our relationship work when I'm six hours away and he's at Barnett?Mr. Moliter said the first couple months would be difficult. Which isn't surprising. I'll have all new choreography to learn. An entire show worth. The hours will be long. Exhausting. It's doubtful I'll have any spare time to visit Roan. And with football, school, and getting ready for the draft, neither will he.I inhale a deep breath and try to calm my racing thought

Awwww... Yet another ooey-gooey photo snapped of Roan King and his girl. Is anyone else getting sick of seeing these two lovebirds together??? I know I am. KingOfCampus.com"Babe, I'm so sorry you didn't get the part." Roan pulls me in for a hug and holds me close, gently rubbing my back. "You must be really bummed." He drops a series of light kisses on the top of my head. "Those bastards don't know what they're missing out on." Anger vibrates in his tone. It's like he's actually affronted on my behalf.Which is so sweet...I stare at the rolling lawns of Barnett and watch as people rush past on their way to class. Its early November and the trees are completely bare. The temperature has grown chilly making it necessary to wear a warm coat when heading outdoors.Guilt floods through me and I clear my throat. "Yeah, I'm bummed about not getting it." That isn't necessarily a lie. I am bummed about not going to Cincinnati. Although, I feel like it would be worse if I we

Do you hear that? It's the sound of thousands of Barnett women rejoicing that Roan King is once again single. Ivy Kaster's loss is our gain. KingOfCampus.com"Hey, I didn't expect to see you tonight. I thought you had-and I quote," she holds up her fingers to make little bunny ears, "a shit ton of work to plow through." Ivy smiles from where she sits on her bed. Now that Eric has filled me in on the situation, I see the heaviness of the decision that weighs her down. I'd thought it was the pain of rejection, but that's not the case. Even Ivy realizes that what she's set on doing is wrong and it only reinforces that I need to make it right again.The fact that she is willing to sacrifice her dreams makes me feel completely unworthy.I don't deserve that kind of love from her.I attempt to hoist a slight smile but can't force the edges of my lips to tilt upward. It's too damn hard. My heart already aches. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that my heart is screaming for me to

Roan King is certainly lying low these days. Not sure what's going on with him. Is our guy just focused on winning more football games for Barnett or is it something more? If anyone has insider knowledge, please post! KingOfCampus.comDad settles at the kitchen table with a beer in hand. He clears his throat before saying, "I'm proud of you, Ivy. For you to be selected at this audition is a big deal."My gaze slides to his in surprise. "Thanks." A moment later, my attention returns to the tall glass of water I've spent the better part of twenty minutes staring at before admitting, "I wasn't sure you would be happy about this...about dropping out of college."He takes a deep breath before slowly releasing it. "I've always thought finishing up your degree was important. I wanted you to be able to get a good job and have something solid and dependable to fall back on, something with job security if dancing didn't work out."I focus on him as he continues. It sounds suspicio
