I've been in college just short of two years now and so far it's been a little slim on the ground when it comes to guys. Some are cute, but lack the emotional depth to be considered as potential partners, and although I'm not adverse to a one night stand occasionally, the thought of them telling all their little buddies all about it makes me feel ill. So I keep myself to myself - I have dated a little but nothing leads anywhere, and some people cruelly believe me to be frigid, when in fact I am just particular.
This year only one guy has even seen me naked, and he doesn't know I know he was there...but let me start at the beginning for you...
Benny is the college loser. Not my choice of words, but the generally accepted descriptive sentence that pretty much everybody uses when on the subject. He seems pleasant enough but it's hard to gauge given that I've only ever heard him speak one time, and that was when he thanked me for picking up a pen he dropped in the hallway. That was pretty funny, he looked surprised that I would even pick up a pen for him, let alone smile and say, 'there you go, Benny'. Honestly, I doubt if he had heard anybody else say his name all year.
But it doesn't hurt to be polite, you know?
After that, I noticed Benny watching me a lot more. Maybe he had always done that, but honestly I don't think so, I tend to notice people looking at me. But anyway, whenever we had a class together or would find ourselves sitting in the same hall or passing in a corridor, I would catch glimpses of his reflection in windows and doors of him looking back after me as I walked. It's flattering but he wasn't my type.
Benny lived in my halls - I wanted a single-sex dorm but they put me in a mixed. No real problems but it could be wild sometimes, especially on game nights. The main problem is the shared shower blocks. They're all individual rooms with lockable doors so it's really secure, but I hate the fact that I have to rush to get dressed and walk through the crowds of guys hanging around like it was a meat market or something. But I can deal because they're clean and the rooms are designed to fit a couple of people in if the block is busy or full.
This one time in question I was all alone - the block was fairly empty for once so I got my choice of stall (the biggest one), and I put my stuff into the room but had to go to the little vending machine to get some shampoo (my roomie had stolen mine, different story!) and as it was just a few feet away I left the door open.
