******************************************
Nearing the end of his first lecture Alex wasn't sure if the fact that he hadn't heard new information was a good or a bad sign. The university was well-known throughout the republic, so he figured they just did not want to overwhelm the students with a boatload of new information immediately. Although he was well-versed in the theory the professor was explaining, he still made some brief notes and copied the schematic drawings. Practise made perfect after all and he might earn someone's favour if they forgot to take the notes themselves.
Alex was one of the few students attending the university that wasn't from the island of Helia and didn't want to force anyone to sit beside the complete stranger that just joined them, so he had entered the room early when it was completely empty. As the room filled with other students, he had gotten little more than a few curious glances from the students that weren't already engrossed in conversations with their friends. The professor was about to close the door when someone ran through the door. Alex had not noticed him until he sat down beside him and nudged his shoulder.
"Is it OK if I sit here?" the newcomer asked, panting from exertion.
"Err, sorry?" Alex hadn't expected anyone to join him at the table and was startled by the surprise.
"Sure thing. Some company would be nice. My name is Alex by the way."
"Thanks. I'm Zack."
Zack quickly sat down on the empty chair and rummaged through his backpack for a few moments before turning back to him once more.
"Do you have a spare pen by any chance? I'm sorry to bother you with that already."
His apologetic smile let Alex know he was sincere and he threw him the pen he had been using.
"There you go. I'll use one of my pencils for the rest of the day then. Don't forget to bring something next time though. I'll run out of them too, if you keep that up," Alex said with a smirk.
The two of them got to know each other a little better as the professor droned on and on about the history of their university and the breakthroughs in the field of science they had made. Zack's family lived nearby, which made this university rather attractive, not that there were that many in the Republic. Alex guessed he was a little shorter than himself, but Zack's obsession with sports and martial arts had given him a broader figure. He had a deep tan, which he contributed to his family's origins.
He was clearly not as passionate when it came to studying and whilst Alex was taking notes from the relevant parts of the lecture he was busy tapping away at his phone, the pen lying unused besides him. Once in a while he showed Alex something on his screen, which had either to do with sports or the girls at school. Alex quickly gave his classmate his phone number, so he could view it later and focus on his notes in the meantime.
Alex finished his last drawing and was about to get up and leave the lecture when the professor stood up from behind his computer.
"By the way, ladies and gentlemen, you will have to form pairs for the upcoming assignment. It won't be anything complex, but it will be graded," the professor called out before scanning the room looking for confirmation that he was heard, but noticed most students had forgotten about him some time ago and were chatting with others or, like Zack, were busy with their phones.
"Alright then," he said, his voice being almost drowned in the chatter. "I'll email you the assignment too..." He went back to his chair and sat down as the bell rang.
Alex quickly looked over at Zack and noticed he was still scrolling through the social media feed of someone attending the school and decided he would be little help with this assignment. He could be the next Einstein or someone like that, but he wasn't willing to risk screwing up the very first assignment he got.
His eyes darted across to room in search of someone that might be a more suitable partner for this task. The fact that he did not know anyone here wasn't helping. Finally his eyes fell on a girl in one of the front rows. She was still sketching the last set-up the professor was projecting on the screen whilst her friends were laughing at some joke next to her.
Alex figured it was now or never and swung his backpack over his shoulder as he made his way down to her desk. She was still focused on her sketches and absentmindedly put some loose strands of hair behind her ear when he arrived. Her almost white hair matched her fair skin nicely, but Alex paid little attention to the way she looked. It certainly was not his main concern.
"Hi, would you mind helping me with this assignment?" he asked her.
The blonde looked up from her work, her pencil still in her hand. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, giving her an appearance of slight annoyance. "And you are?"
Alex knew he needed to catch the bus and didn't really have time for these formalities. "I'm Alex. I'm new here in case you were wondering. So do you want to work on this assignment together?"
The girl looked around and noticed her friends had already left her. "Sure," she sighed. "I'm Emily by the way. Do you want to work on it right now? There should be some unreserved spots in the lab."
"I'm in a bit of a hurry, since I have to visit the clinic today."
Her face softened a bit and she scribbled something down in her notebook before tearing a piece off and handing it to him. "Here's my number. We'll do it tomorrow after class then. I'll let you know which room I reserved."
"Oh, and don't hand out my number to anyone," she quickly added with a sharper tone.
He was slightly taken aback by her words. "Err, why?"
Emily showed him a slight smile, although her piercing blue eyes remained ice-cold. "Don't worry about that. I can tell you won't."
Alex quickly slid the sliver of paper into his phone's case before leaving the room. He practically ran down the hallway and out of the main building in order to reach his bus in time.
The minutes went by way too quickly and the bus was driving way too slow as Alex was on his way to the clinic. He took the opportunity to add Emily to his contacts and send her a quick message letting her know that he was the guy she had agreed to work with. At his final stop he briefly thanked the driver before darting out the vehicle and running over to the clinic.
Alex tried to get his breathing under control as he made his way through the door. He had arrived just in time to hear his name being called.
"Is Mr. Alex Grande present today?" the receptionist called out.
"Yes, I'm here!" he exclaimed louder than he had meant to. Luckily for him there was no one to witness his screw-up.
"Alright, mister. The nurse is waiting for you in the room down the hall to your right."
Alex quickly made his way down the indicated hallway and stepped through the only open door. The room had the typical hospital smell of disinfectant even though this was just a local clinic. He almost ran into the woman that was already in the room. She had dark hair, which fell down past her shoulders. Alex figured she was somewhere in her late twenties, maybe in her early thirties. He tried to ignore her full figure, which was made difficult by the dark blue scrubs that could easily be a size to small. The neckline was as low as it could be whilst appearing professional, but it hinted at a rather large breasts.
"You must be Alex, right? Nice to meet you," she said as she shook his hand. "Would you go over the following information and see if it is still correct? It's stuff like your current address and contact information. The latter is important in the case we want to do some extra tests and need to reach you."
"Sure thing," he replied as he tried to appear more relaxed than he actually was. If his act was good enough he might even fool himself into thinking that was truly how he felt.
Alex quickly went over the form and noticed everything was filled in correctly. When he looked up from the paper he noticed Keri was bent over a drawer and was rummaging through it. This gave him an excellent view of her ass, which was trying to break free out of the tight scrubs and made the lines of her panties clearly visible . He tried to think of something different, like the documentaries he had seen, to relieve to issue that was making his pants tighter by the second. It seemed to work, but it made Alex wonder how he was supposed to pass the examination without embarrassing himself.
Keri returned with an inflatable cuff to measure his blood pressure. She put it around his arm and quickly tightened it. She was so close that Alex could smell her strong flowery perfume and due to the fact he was sitting down, he got an eyeful of her cleavage.
"Everything was filled in correctly," he told her.
"Excellent!" the nurse responded. "Let's now check your pressure. It might feel a little uncomfortable, but try to keep as still as possible."
Alex could feel himself begin to harden as Keri was watching the data the blood pressure apparatus was giving her.
"That's odd. Your blood pressure is dropping a little. Are you feeling alright?"
"I'm feeling fine. Somewhat tired because I had to run here, but that's it." He knew blood was being diverted somewhere else, but he wasn't going to let her know.
"Hmm, we'll have to check that another time then. Now you need to take off all your clothes besides your underwear for the visual inspection and so we can weigh you."
"Are you sure that's necessary?" Even he could make out the hint of nervousness in his voice and assumed it wasn't lost on Keri either. Her expression hadn't changed however.
