Introductions

Standing in the doorway of his new dorm was not the greasy, fat man that William had created in his mind based on the state of the place, but the most stunning women he had ever laid eyes on.

She wore grey sweatpants and a black tank top that stopped at her midriff, revealing a toned stomach. Adoring her belly button was a metal piercing. Beads of perspiration rolled into the crevasse between her ample breasts, the top of the irresistible mounds peeking above the tank top’s neckline. Emerald eyes that he could stare into for eternity glared at him from across the room. Auburn hair adorned a face befitting a goddess, with two large strands floating on either side of her perfect features. She was taller than him, by at least two inches.

He had never had much interaction with the opposite sex; high school had been nothing but a ceaseless time of studying, with little of his attentions paid to trying to interact with women, although he never had the attractiveness or the self-confidence to make such a pursuit worth his time anyway. He hadn't a hope in the world with a girl like this, but one could dream...

"Excuse me!", she broke him out of his daydreams, a furious expression obscuring her heavenly features, "the hell are you doing in my apartment?"

He shoved his papers towards her with wavering hands, stammering out an explanation for his presence. "I - I - I'm a freshman. The administrators assigned me to this room."

"The college doesn't let opposite sexes stay in the same dorm."

"I didn't assign myself, they just told me to go here. I didn't know you were a girl."

"Horseshit, freshmen don't get to stay in accommodations with their own rooms."

"I'm on a Gnole scholarship, so I guess I get special privileges."

"Still, you're not supposed to be here." She appeared a tad more sympathetic now, but frustration still wrinkled her face. "Alright, just... Were you just at the administration building? How long was the line? We'll go down there together and fix this."

"Last time I was there the people at the back of the line were building tents."

"Fuck. Fucking admins." Nicola began pacing the room now, viciously kicking clutter out of her path as she strode backwards and forwards, her mouth nibbling at the fingernails of one hand whilst the other hand scraped across her scalp. After five minutes of this, she turned towards the freshman once more. "Okay, here's the deal. You can sleep here for one night, then we'll sort it out in the morning. Deal?"

Not knowing how to respond, he merely nodded.

"What's your name, kid?" Her arm extended to shake his.

"William, uh-uh William Huntsby." He took it, hoping that she wouldn't notice that his hand was clammy with nervousness.

"My name is Nicola."
