I went to college for my bachelor's degree at a state college. It was just far enough that I could justify living on campus to my parents, but close enough that I got in-state tuition and I could go home if anything went wrong.
My college was originally built as an all-boys college. It was modernized in the 1960s to allow girls as well, but wasn't until the mid 80's that they had co-ed dorms. This meant that some of the dorm facilities were "interesting" to say the least.
The building I was in was set up in a large U shape. The bottom part of the U shape had the elevator, a staircase running up and down, and a large bathroom facility for the guys. The shower in that bathroom were the older, large rooms with 5 shower heads on each side. At the end of each hallway were additional, much more recently remodeled bathroom facilities with singe shower stalls. The central part of each floor also had a lounge area with some comfortable chairs, a window looking out over the college, the usual rack of pamphlets and public interest stuff and a pay phone... remember those?!
My dorm mate was Jess. She was from New York. Her dad was involved in finance, and fairly well off. She was a B student without really trying. She had come to our school because she wanted to be far enough away from her parents to have her own space and spread her wings, but she also didn't want to go some place she viewed as "stuffy." Jess was... is... kind of a free spirit, fun loving, super friendly and really down to earth. As room mates we balanced each other out well, she reminded me that if I didn't cut loose every now and then to enjoy myself I would end up burning out; while I reminded her that she did actually have to study occasionally to keep her grades in the B range so her dad didn't cut her off.
It took all of about 2 days for Jess and I to be friends, and after a month we were best friends. Jess's personality reminded me a lot of Kerry. Before long we were walking around our dorm room naked in front of each other without a thought. Jess introduced me to porn movies, which she would borrow from the guys around campus, we would watch them together and masturbate. Jess bought me my first sex toys, and I have never been without since. Jess made me feel really comfortable in my own body.
I met Tommy about 2 weeks into my first term as well. He lived on the same floor as I did.
It was a stifling hot September night. The building, being old, and in New England, didn't have AC, so the only reprieve from the heat was a desk fan, and opening the very small windows that really just tilted inward. It was also extremely humid. I was miserable... I was sitting on my bed in just some white cotton panties and a loose fitting, thin t-shirt, and even then I had sweat running down my back.
Normally If I was going out of my room I would have put more clothes on, but I was so miserable that I just couldn't bare the thought. I grabbed my book and went out into the lobby to see if the more open area would help. I sat down and started reading my Chemistry 101 book, with the material not really sinking in.
"Hi... ummm... Mind if I join you?" I heard a guys voice.
"Free country" I replied without looking up. I realized that I had been quite snarky with my reply. So I waited till he sat down, then I looked up.
"I'm sorry... that wasn't nice." I said, trying to muster a smile. "It's just..."
"The heat?" He said with a smile.
"Yeh... I'm miserable." I said, my forced smile was fading.
"Yeh I understand." He said pleasantly. "My name is Tommy, what's your's?"
"I'm Cindy... Nice to meet you Tommy." I replied. And that was the stat of another life long friendship.
We sat silently for a little while each reading. After about ten minutes of reading the same pages over and over without anything actually registering, I looked up over my book. Tommy was cute, definitely not the muscle jock look, but he was cute. He had brown hair that was about shoulder length. He was clearly tall, 6'6" tall. He was wearing a Metallica t-shirt and jeans with ripped out knees. He was reading a computer science book. His glasses kept sliding down his nose and him pushing them back. No matter how hot and miserable it was, the smile never faded.
Tommy was at college on a full scholarship, which unfortunately was the only way that he could afford to be there. He's one of the smartest people I know. He could have probably sailed through college but he was also constantly studying, always wanting to know more. He's also super nice, not condescending. It wasn't long before he, Jess and I were out own little group of "besties." From the instant that we formed out group Tommy was supportive, and protective of us, always being a shoulder to try on... and more.
"Well Tommy, no matter mow much I read this book it's not sinking in. I think I am just going to go see if I can manage to get some sleep." I got up off my chair and stumbled a bit, my leg having fallen asleep. Tommy looked up and dropped his book, reaching out instinctively, his face showing a moment of total panic. I managed to catch myself, and stood up, shaking my foot trying to get circulation back, and laughing. After a moment I realized the look on Tommie's face had changed from panic to a bit of embarrassment, his eyes darting around, not sure where to look. In the heat and sweat I realized there wasn't much left to the imagination... the think white t-shirt I was wearing was clinging to me, and almost see through in the humidity, and the panties weren't much better. Tommy was so sweet, I could tell he wanted to look; but he was also trying not to for my benefit. As the feeling came back to my foot, I walked away with a slight smile on my face.
The "official" unofficial rule was that the central bathroom in the dorm became Co-Ed at 8:00pm, when a majority of the school staff went home. Since it was a boys bathroom, no one complained, the girls got extra facilities, which meant less waiting around and the boys got to check out the girls while the showered. And let's face it... the girls who used that shower did it BECAUSE they wanted the boys checking them out. Over the four years in the dorm, I asked in on many blow jobs and pussy eating sessions in that shower in every combination possible.
It was about a month after I had met Tommy. It was that point in October in New England where the autumn weather retreats and we get a short second summer. It was about 8:30 and I had just come in from a jog around campus. I was grabbing my stuff and getting ready to go for a shower when Jess came in. She had just been playing tennis, so we were both hot and sweaty.
"Hey, wait up, we can head to the showers together." she suggested. We chatted for a bit while she pealed off her tennis clothes, and wrapped a towel around herself. As we walked out of the dorm room Jess turned to the right and stated heading towards the Co-Ed shower.
"Ummm... I uhhh was going..." I stammered. Looking at Jess. I didn't want to seem like a stick in the mud, but I had never even considered the idea of the Co-Ed showers at that point.
"Come on... it will be fun!" She said with a grin. "Besides, it's early there is probably no one there anyway, and we can actually talk while we shower."
"We'll see." I said, reluctantly turning and following her.
