[This story begins with the main character, Brody, being roused awake by his alarm clock in his dorm.]
"God Damnit," I grumbled as my alarm clock blared next to my head.
I reached over and slapped my hand down on it, shutting it off. I rolled onto my back and stretched. "Another day in paradise," I grumbled to myself.
I swung my legs over the side of my bed and sat up. I glanced over to my right and noticed my roommate wasn't there. 'Good,' I thought to myself with a small grin. My roommate and I had been having some major problems, and weren't even on speaking terms at the moment. We came up to college as best friends and it had all fallen apart. He had basically told me what he really thinks of me, and I'd heard things from other people that he talks bad about me quite frequently. I wasn't too concerned about it, though. Two-faced people like that didn't deserve my friendship anyways. I hopped off of my bed and ambled over to the bathroom. I walked in and closed the door behind me. I looked in the mirror and let out a small chuckle as I saw what my hair looked like. Every morning I woke up to find one side of my hair pressed upwards, as I always slept on that side. I started the shower and walked back out into the dorm. I grabbed some jeans, briefs, and socks and carried them back into the bathroom. I deposited them in the corner on the floor, since there wasn't a whole lot of counter spaceβor any at all for that matter, and began to strip. I pulled the hoodie over my head and looked at myself in the mirror again. 'Gym's been paying off,' I thought to myself, admiring my lean, muscular body. I was about 5'11, 150 pounds. I didn't have any body fat on me, as I did a lot of running in addition to the gym. My sandy blonde hair was a little longer on the top than on the sides, and it stood up a little in the front. I used to be a pretty scrawny kid, but since I'd gotten to college where I'd had access to a gym, I'd been much more inclined to improve my physical appearance. Smiling to myself, I stripped the rest of the way and jumped in the shower.
After my shower, I dressed from the waist down and walked out into the dorm again. I noticed my roommate's bike in the hallway, indicating that he was back from wherever. "Fuck," I muttered under my breath.
I walked around the door into the dorm and saw him on his computer. I grabbed a plain white T-Shirt and threw it on. I walked over to my bed and picked up my phone and unplugged it from the charger. I saw a text from a girl I'd hooked up with a couple of nights ago, Stacy. The text read: Hey, Brody! Just wanted to know when I get to see a little more of that hott body you've got!
I smiled to myself. Girls were so easy to figure out. If you had any sort of muscle structure on your body, you can get just about any girl you would want. I sent a text back that read: How about tonight? Wear something sexy.
I laughed to myself as I pulled my shoes on. I grabbed my backpack and walked out the door. As I walked out to the courtyard between the three dorm buildings I saw the bus pulling away. Marveling at my luck, I began the half mile walk in to campus, rather than a five minute, air conditioned trip. As I rounded the corner out of the dorms, I spotted my friend Tim a little ways ahead of me. I yelled at him, causing him to turn around. He grinned around a cigarette and stuck his fist out to bump. I bumped it with one hand and fanned in front of my nose with the other in a disgusted manner. "Put that shit out, man, you know I can't stand smoking," I said jokingly, but with every intention of him putting it out.
"Oh yeah, my bad," he said, throwing the cigarette into the woods.
Tim wasn't the smartest kid in the world, and he sort of acted the role of my sidekick and wingman whenever I needed one. We were tight though, ever since we'd met about 5 months ago, on the day we moved into the dorms. He lived about two doors down from me. We walked along the sidewalk towards campus in silence. I was still half asleep despite my shower, and was sort of walking around in a daze. I looked up and saw a girl walking the opposite direction of us from campus. I'd never seen this girl before, and she was really cute. Probably the cutest girl I'd seen at the school yet. As she walked by, I gave her the lopsided grin that melted girls where they stood. She gave a half smile back, but didn't seem to be interested at all. I glanced back over my shoulder at her as she walked by. She wore some tight white jeans that really made her firm butt look great.
Me and Tim got to campus and went our separate ways towards each of our classes. I walked with my head in the clouds, thinking about that butt in those white jeans. Who was this girl? Why had I never seen her around campus before? I took my seat in class and tried to banish her from my mind.
