Go See Alicia.

Slowly and reluctantly, you head down the hall to Alicia's dorm room. She lives with a girl named Cathy and they both hated you. Alicia's a radical feminist and although you are good friends with some of the other campus feminists, Alicia's staunch anti-man views have been targeted on you since you and Melody moved into the dorm hall. She sees your living arrangements with Melody as a way to simply get into her pants. While there is a grain of truth to that, it's hardly the only or even the main reason you live with her. Alicia refuses to see the two of you as friends and often tries to convince Melody of your 'true nature'. Of course, the last time she tried that, Melody vehemntly stood up for you, even going so far as to get into a cat fight with Alicia over your honor. She eventually came out on top and made Alicia apologize to you for her rude behavior. You fell a little further for Melody that day.

Unfortunatly, that's not going to help you today. Alicia's won't want to do any kind of dealing with you and this will probably end up backfiring. But you have to do this for your best friend's sake, so you suck it up and knock on her door.

"One minute." A voice said before you hear a thumping of footsteps. Eventually the door opened up and an overly-tanned brunette was in the doorway in just a see-through nightgown and underwear. Alicia always wore sexy clothing and then admonished boys for staring at her. You could never quite figure that one out. Her eyes looked at you and then narrowed. She made no move to hide herself though. "What do YOU want?" She hisses venomously.

You struggle to keep your eyes on her face. Wandering down to gaze at her revealed body would only lead to pain and a harder time talking to her. "Look, can I borrow a thermometer?"

"What!?" Alicia asks incredulously. "You want ME to loan YOU something? Are you out of your fucking mind?"

"Melody might be sick and I want to take her temperature."

"Oh sure. You seem awful willing to try and 'take care of her'." Alicia snorted indignantly. "Try to score some brownie points, scumbag?"

You grit your teeth and try and maintain your composure. "I know you don't like me, Alicia, but can't you do this for Melody?"

"I don't have to do shit." She bobs her head back and forth. "So you can go fuck yourself." She steps back into her room and gets ready to shut the door.
