Kate

Strangely enough, the woman you've been seeing is Kate. You didn't even spend that much time with her before the two of you hooked up a few weeks ago but you've been sleeping together (well, fucking) a few times a week ever since. Things aren't that serious, so it's not that big a deal.

You walk down the hallway and take a left, to the room that Kate shares with Susanna. After a knock on the door, it opens in what seems like seconds. Kate is in her bra and a skirt, and it's hard not to stare. Normally you'd stare all you like, but Susanna is right there, sitting on her bed behind Kate, so you sadly can't take the time to ogle Kate's pale cleavage.

"Hey," you say.

"Hey," Kate says with a wink. "Sorry, Susanna and I were just getting ready."

"Hey!" the Scottish exchange student calls as she hangs a teardrop earring from her ear. "How are you, Andrew?"

"I'm good," you say. "You?"

"I'm good," Susanna says. "This earring's a real pain in the arse, but other than that I'm all ready." She smirks and nods toward Kate, who's closing the door behind you. "Obviously she isn't," she says. "As you can see."

There was something strange about that last part. Does she know? you wonder. It wouldn't be the end of the world if she did, but it would be kind of strange for Kate to have told her without telling you about it first.

"I thought we could do some drinking before we go to the girls' room," Kate says, shaking her bottle of Jack Daniel in your face.

The Christmas party is to be held in Marlena, Alicia, and Mary's room. Normally your floor has their parties in Greg's room, but the dorm staff have been keeping a close eye on their room lately. You figured it was better to deflect their attention a little bit so you could all get a little rambunctious.

"Yeah, I don't really want to show up until I'm at least buzzed," you say.
