"Terrible at helping you find a way"

"Part One Coach Bovee recruited me as one of his top recruits as a distance runner. I ran cross country and tack for the women’s team at Illinois State University. I was involved in a very minor “incident” my freshman year about a month or so in to my first semester at ISU. My roommate at the time had shared an experience to the coach along with other teammates about me and another teammate of ours had that involved two shots of gin in the dorms, bowling on campus, eating at diner, and ended the night by walking back to the dorms. It was my first interaction with alcohol on campus ever. It was a fun and silly night of two girls bonding over something we thought was very college like. Somehow this college experience got back to my coach, and somehow it was made into a huge deal without him ever coming to me and that other teammate who had that that “college-like experience”. We were told we would have to talk to him individually later that day me and this girl realized what this was about coming to the conclusion that only my roommate would know about that night because she saw us leave the dorms. We told her what we were gonna do and we told her what we had done, me, and this girl were friends with my roommate (although I can say my roommate was jealous bc of me and this other teammate of ours bonding).
