It was my first day at my university and the butterflies were dancing in my stomach as the coach pulled up outside the tall imposing building of the main university campus building. I followed the other girls who had been on board out the bus doorway and was greeted by an elderly lady smartly dressed. She introduced herself as "Mrs Dowding" and proceeded to shepherd us inside where a new group of smiling girls were waiting for us. Mrs. Dowding then went out to read out a register calling out our names at which stage a girl from the crowd would come forward to claim us as their new room mate. My turn came at last and I was introduced to a smiling red head with a pretty face and lots of freckles.
I followed Sandra along the gravel path. It was a beautiful day. The sky overhead was clear and blue whilst the sun shone down with warm rays on our backs as we walked. Rounding the corner of the large building we moved into shade as I shivered momentarily at the change in temperature. Sandra was now waiting for me several paces down the path.
"Do you need the bathroom?" she asked me.
Thinking about it for a moment I then nodded. My bladder was quite full as it had been some time since the last stop on the coach that had brought me here.
"You will like this then," she said motioning me to join her.
I moved along the path to come to her side looking quizzically around me as I did so. The wall of the building was lined with windows with no sign of any entranceways. Around us lay nothing but the large open garden. Up ahead a large clearing on the side of the path with the same gravel flooring as what we were currently standing upon. A few wooden picnic tables lay scattered around with no organisation apparent in their layout.
"Follow me," Sandra instructed and made her way over to the clearing.
I did as I was instructed still wondering as to where the mysterious bathrooms were located.
Overhead, the clearing was shielded from the sky by large oak trees which lifted their green leaved braches high above our heads. The air was warm despite the shade and I was glad I had chosen summer clothing for my trip to the university.
"We call this the 'Kitty Litter'," Sandra informed me turning around with a big smile.
I took a good look around but could see no cats. The ache in my bladder was getting quite acute now that Sandra had mentioned the toilet.
