Misunderstood Part 31:
Flashback: One year before Richie met Claire
Richie Striker was from a poor family, not dirt poor but with only a single mom as a parent not rich enough to go to college which was the one thing Richie dreamed of doing every day of his 25 years. He took his athletic career very seriously but getting a few credits under his bealt would help with an upcoming promotion. Richie had saved every spare penny since he was 16 and now had $10,000 simoleons saved up, enough for one year at the closest University.
He told his younger brother Rafael about his plan and Rafael surprised Richie by telling him he decided to join him (the new motorcycle he had his eye on would have to wait). This announcement didn't surprise Richie, Rafael had always been very impulsive..
So off to one year of University they went...

Chelsea White was a student returning for her second year at University, she always felt like the odd duck out being a bit older than the 18 and 19 year olds who represented most of the freshman student body. She was 25 but didn't look her age as her mom always reminded her when she got down about going to Uni with a "bunch of kids".

Richie had had the "keep your grubs off the teenagers" talk with his brother the night before, Rafael was a bit of a player, just trying to see how many "babes he could bag" a phrase he used frequently around his all too virginal older brother.
True to from Rafael was already flirting with a redhead not 5 steps in the front door!

Richie took a look at Rafael's source of amusement and saw that she was rather nice looking. But turned away as he knew Rafael would have her bedded down before the end of the night, the ladies just seemed to throw themselves at him. Richie almost hoped the redhed would reject him, he felt she was something special, she had an air about her.
She crossed him in the hallway without a glance and went up to her room.

Richie went up to his and Rafael's assigned room and got to unpacking, he fell asleep on the bed shortly thereafter..

Richie and Rafael decided to go to the welcome party going on in the student building to meet some of their fellow students. Richie spotted the redhead, and decided to try to gather his courage to talk to her, Richie was painfully shy around girls, an issues he really wanted to tackle.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/792/40366590305_f971e950cc_c.jpg
He was walking over to the redhead and Rafael leaped right in front of him and started talking to her. Richie let out a huge sigh and figured he would never get a word in edgewise, Rafael really knew how to talk!
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/790/40366589745_8657100637_c.jpg
Richie stood there silently listening to Rafael's captivating story of how he was going to get a new motorcycle and tour around Twinbrook in a year.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/806/40366587995_1180453119_c.jpg
The redhead look like she was enjoying the story...at first..then she started to look bored. This struck Richie, no girl ever though Rafael was boring!
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/811/40366589285_fcf5ebba2c_c.jpg
Chelsea excused herself and wandered off...all the while thinking 'dumb as a brick' about Rafael, the other guy that was with him was cute though she thought to herself.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/811/40366586455_caf3233107_c.jpg
Richie challenged his brother to a rousing game of ping pong, Rafael gladly accepted.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/877/41262482801_b64a6689c3_c.jpg
Chelsea watched them from the top of the stairs...wondering who the cute guy was, she would find out.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/792/41262481711_f71e12491e_c.jpg
On the way to the dorm Chelsea ran into Derek, he was one of her only friends from last year, they had frequently called each other over the summer.
"Hey Chels, how are you doing?"
"Pretty good Derek how was you summer.."
"Knock it off Chels, you know what I mean...how are you doing?"
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/866/41262478701_04348fc310_c.jpg
"Good days and bad days.." she answered quietly.
Derek looked like he was going to cry and excused himself...
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/805/41262477551_f941e6ec43_c.jpg
Chelsea sighed and walked into the dorm, she noticed a flyer for a party being held that night and decided to go what could it hurt. She put on her best party dress and headed out. she spotted the cute guy and decided to be brave, she really wanted to meet him.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/798/41262476361_b20a7aa589_c.jpg
She sat right down next to him but stayed silent, waiting for him to make the first move..
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/873/41262475561_d2a7ac8378_c.jpg
They both looked at each other at the same time, Chelsea giggled under her breath.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/872/41262475091_efb4758909_c.jpg
The ice was broken and the conversation flowed, his name was Richie he was 25 and into athletics..
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/869/41262474661_c28e783c70_c.jpg
They were really getting to know each other and enjoying each others company...
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/813/41262473751_673e7cf689_c.jpg
Until Rafael decided to plop his butt right between them!
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/883/41262472351_6e00d759bd_c.jpg
He started right in talking to Chelsea again, Richie clamped up, he really did let his brother run over him when it came to girls.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/884/41262471801_b36814f153_c.jpg
Chelsea got bored of his chattering about his motorcycle was that the only thing this guy ever talked about she wondered to herself..
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/799/41262470821_fd407b76d2_c.jpg
She excused herself and went downstairs she hoped Richie would follw her.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/819/26390882927_f17fb0e212_c.jpg
Richie needed to man up and tell his brother that he really wanted to get to know Chelsea and to back off.
"Rafael I really like Chelsea and would appreciate it if you would back off..."
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/880/26390882407_11dc77b445_c.jpg
"Fine big brother, my first day of college day gift to you is Chelsea..hot name by the way, bet she's a nym*pho!"
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/820/26390880977_7b639e8366_c.jpg
"Please just don't..." Richie pleaded.
"Fine, I'll be nice...now go get her!" Rafael gave his big brother a reassuring hug.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/806/26390879587_51129b6115_c.jpg
Richie bravely went down the stairs to chat with Chelsea his heart thudding in his chest, he was such a baby being so nervous at the prospect of talking to a pretty girl.
