“You just have to be careful is all we’re trying to say. Just take everything that guys tell you with a grain of salt, until you know them well.”
    I nod and they all converge on me for a group hug.
     
    Asher
    Holy shit I can’t believe my luck that she’s here. And, I finally have a name to go with the face I’ve been obsessing over all week. Dex approaches me with an awkward smile on his face.
    “What’s up man?” I ask cautiously.
    “Don’t shoot the messenger, okay?”
    I already don’t like the way this conversation is starting.
    “I’m supposed to tell you to back off.”
    “What are you talking about?” I ask, bristling instantly.
    “Eve. Nikki’s kind of taken her under her wing and I’m supposed to tell you that she isn’t that kind of girl,” He explains running his hands through his hair. It’s a nervous habit that I’ve seen him do a thousand times.
    “I don’t understand.”  It’s not like I’d asked her to strip naked or suck my dick.
    “Nikki says she grew up really sheltered and she’s pretty shy and totally innocent. She’s worried about someone taking advantage of her. She’s taking this really seriously.”
    Suddenly it all makes sense. It’s like I’m back in high school again and I’m being told over and over again I’m not good enough for the nice girls. My family is too poor, I live on the wrong side of town, and I look like trouble. If I had a nickle for every time I heard that shit I’d be a millionaire. And, here I was thinking just because I’m in college now, working towards a respectable career, things would be different.
    “I hear you,” I say through clenched teeth.
    “Sorry man.”
    “No, it’s cool. I get it.” I turn toward Ethan who’s behind the bar now. “Can I get whatever you’ve got on tap?”
     
    Eve
    When we get back to the rest of the group Asher is more withdrawn and I have to assume the guys told him that he shouldn’t be talking to a freak like me. My stomach gives a disappointed twist. I shouldn’t be upset, the girls were right, I can’t give a guy like Asher what he wants.
    “By the way ladies, if any of you want’s a job we are hiring bartenders and servers,” Ethan says.
    “But, there is one catch,” Abby warns. “We’re doing this thing right, all employees have to do cosplay.”
    “What?” Lee, Remy, and I all say at the same time.
    I’m glad for once I’m not the only one who doesn’t understand what something means. Abby and Ethan laugh at our confused faces.
    “Dress up in costumes from appropriate movies, books, tv shows. So for example, since I have red hair I could dress up as Ginny Weasley, Amy Pond, or maybe Phoenix from the X-men,” Abby explains.
    “I’d love a job,” I say quietly, almost as though I'm not sure I want them to hear me. “Although, I don’t have any experience and I have no idea who any of those people you just named are.”
    “That’s okay, we are willing to train. And, Nikki, Lee, and Remy didn’t know who any of those people were either,” Ethan assures me with a smile.
     
    “So how’d you meet Nikki?” Asher asks, clutching a beer in one hand, sitting across from me while watching Abby and Ethan snuggle and the other four play pool.
    “She sits next to me in anthropology. I guess it was written all over my face how freaked out and out of place I felt the first day,” I admit with a laugh. “How do you know Dex?”
    “We’re roommates. To be honest, I’ve never seen him looking so cozy with a woman before,” He whispers conspiratorially gesturing towards Dex who’s leaning close to allow Remy to whisper something in his ear. “I just hope she’s gentle with him.”
    “What do you mean?” I ask in surprise.
    Dex looks like he could crush tiny Remy between his hands.
    “She has a bit of a reputation, and he’s…”Asher chews his lip ring, clearly thinking about how to describe Dex. “He’s a really good guy.”
    I watch as he brings the beer to his
