This is a story loosely based on my experiences in college. Loose enough that this could be called fiction. Names and dates have been changed. All characters mentioned in sexual references are 18 years of age or older. I hope you love my characters. Enjoy!

Maddy was walking through the cold USI campus stressing about her upcoming final, when she saw Byron across an open field. He was walking alone and headed down an alley between two of the business buildings.
Maddy narrowed her dark eyes, before pulling her scarf tighter and following him.
By the time she reached the alley, Byron was seated at a break table about halfway down the walkway. He was leaning away from the wind and appeared to be struggling with a lighter.
"Sir, are you doing
drugs
on
campus!
" Maddy yelled when she was close enough.
Byron looked around and grinned. He thought Maddy looked great. She had a tan coat with a black and white scarf and a woolly cap. Byron could see her warm pants and the hem of her skirt under her coat. She was also sporting some new soft highlights in her dark hair.
"Hey Maddy," Byron said. "Where you coming from?"
"Marketing," she said as she got to the bench. "What you smokin on?"
"Trying to get this bowl to light," Byron said. He put a glass bowl to his mouth and tried lighting the lighter, but the wind kept blowing out the flame. "Struggling more like."
"Well, why'd you pick hurricane alley?" Maddy said, as the wind whipped between the two buildings and through her hair.
"This is my smoking spot. It wasn't this bad earlier in the year," Byron said. "Come block the wind."
Maddy sat down and when Byron continued to flame out with the lighter, Maddy remembered her new bowl.
"Oh, hey. Maybe this'll work," she said reaching into her coat pocket. "I call her Jezabelle."
"Cool lookin pipe," Byron said, taking the purple and gold pipe. "Where'd you get this?"
"A smoke shop off campus. See it's got a lid... so you can..."
"...oh
yeah
I see," Byron said, pulling off the lid. "Cool."
He stuffed Maddy's pipe with his barely smoked buds and the pipe's lid made it much easier to smoke even in the howling winds. The two got high together talking about class until the bowl was cashed.
Once they got up and left the alley, they were each relieved to be out of the wind. Maddy thought Byron's winter coat looked thin, and the tips of his caramel ears were turning red.
"You need a hat," Maddy said. "You aren't cold?"
"Oh no, this is fine," Byron said. "I run hot. I see you all bundled up like it's a snowstorm."
"I don't play with that cold," Maddy laughed.
"Yeah, you always look great, but... I liked your outfits better when it was hot out."
"Oh gawd. Shut it up," Maddy said, though she was blushing.
"So what are your final gonna be?" Byron asked. "I've gotta give a huge presentation."
"Oh yeah? Mine are all essays."
The two strolled through the snowy campus, discussing classes, until Byron saw Maddy's roommate talking to some guy he didn't recognize.
"Oh there's Lex," Byron nodded. "Uewggh, who's that doofus she hugged up with?" Byron asked, feeling a twinge of jealousy he didn't know was there.
"Ohhhh...shhhit," Maddy said, freezing.
"What's up?" Byron said.
"That's Alan."
"Hmmm?"
"That's Alan, Lexi's boyfriend," Maddy said.
"Oh, Right. Right. Right. Riigggggght," Byron said, smiling. "Let's go say 'hi'."
Before Maddy could stop him Byron was walking toward Alan and Lexi. Maddy's stomach clenched and it stayed knotted up as Byron approached Lexi and Alan.
"Yo! Lexi!" Byron called out.
Lexi turned away from Alan, who she was huddling to for warmth and her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped. Luckily Alan had looked over at the two approaching.
"Hey...
There's
Maddy," Alan said. "Where ya been?"
Maddy had been scampering out of the dorm early and hadn't really seen Alan since he'd been in Evansville.
"Oh, ya know. Just been busy. It's finals week."
"Ah makes sense," he said, scratching his two or three chin hairs. "And who's your friend?
"Oh this is my friend Byron," Maddy said casually gesturing at him. "This is Alan... Lexi's boyfriend."
"Sup man?" Byron said, stepping forward and slapping his hand. "So you're the famous Alan she won't stop talking about,"
"I 'Spose so," he said, his eyebrows perking up. At 6'1 he was taller than Byron, who was slightly shorter than Lexi.
"I don't talk about him
that much,
" Lexi chimed in.
"Ha, yeah right," Byron laughed. "Whenever I'm hanging with Mad Maddy, Lexi's there yammerin about some Alan guy. Nice to put a face to it all."
"Oh yeah?" Alan said. "Mad Maddy huh? Never heard that one before? You said Byron was your name?"
Lexi and Maddy caught each other eyes, each mutedly flabbergasted at Byron's ease. For starters, Lexi hadn't strung together two sentences about Alan to Byron. Secondly, no one in the history of Earth had ever referred to Madelyn Barrone as "Mad Maddy".
Lexi was impressed and she silently wondered what that said about herself.
"I've got a class with Lexi and that's how I met Maddy," Byron said, staring at Alan but daydreaming about the time he facefucked Lexi one morning, choking her with his cock until he came down her throat. "You got a good one there."
As Byron chatted up Alan, Byron leaned into Maddy as the wind picked up.
"Welp, it was good to meet ya man," Byron said, as Maddy drew closer to Byron in the cold, drawing some raised eyebrows from Lexi. "Gotta hit the books."
"Ya, take it easy," he said. "I'll see ya later
Mad Maddy
," Alan called, as Maddy pulled Byron away.
As Lexi and Alan headed back to the dorm Alan glanced back over his shoulder.
"Looks like Maddy finally found her a 'boo'." he chuckled.
"Mmm, yeah sure," Lexi said under her breath.
Meanwhile, Byron and Maddy were headed back to the Campus Center.
"Gawd, I hope that nickname doesn't stick," Maddy glared, as Byron held the door.
"Holy fuck me neither," Byron said, smiling. "Sorry bout that. Don't know
what
came over me. I was just trying to impress Mr. Ed."
That cracked Maddy up. The two got lunch and Byron made Maddy laugh a few more times. Indeed she laughed again, covering her mouth when Byron called Alan a giraffe.
Byron didn't notice his new RA behind him in line.
