This is a work of fiction. This story involves an innocent college freshman losing her virginity when she falls hard for a fellow student. No, this isn't the nursery rhyme that you know. If any of that disturbs you, then you should stop reading now. Any similarity to real names or real people is coincidental. Constructive comments are always welcome, but please read the whole story to the end before you comment.
My philosophy is that a story should be like a woman's skirt. It should be long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep it interesting. I try to do that in my stories. You may or may not agree with me as to where I should end a story, but know that I end each story where I think it should end.
Nobody in this story was under 18 when they had sex.
Jill had done well in high school. She wasn't one of the speakers at her graduation, but she had done well enough to secure a scholarship at one of her state's universities. Her family was not well off by any means, and college would have been impossible without the scholarship. Even so, the scholarship didn't pay for everything she would need at school. She had taken a summer job in the city where her family lived to make up the difference between what the scholarship offered and what she needed. She also hoped that she might find a job on campus to help her out as well.
So, when summer ended, Jill headed up to the town where her university for the next four years was located. She had visited the campus before, but she was still shocked at how big it was. This wasn't going to be like high school, where she could go from class to class easily. It would require better planning and scheduling to make sure that she could make it between classes and always be on time.
Luckily, Jill had already chosen her major, and they had set classes for her to take each quarter. Even so, she wanted to take some extra classes each quarter, so she still had to schedule her classes to be able to make everything work. When she first arrived at the campus, she headed to the dorm where she had been assigned, found her room, and unpacked her clothes and stuff. She would have a roommate, which was nothing new for Jill.
Growing up, Jill had always shared a room with her two sisters, so having only one roommate would be an improvement for her. It wasn't long before Sue, her new roommate, showed up at the room. Jill helped her unpack, and they talked a lot. Jill found that she had a lot in common with Sue, growing up in a large family and not having much money, but there were also some big differences. Sue had been in the popular crowd at her school, while Jill had been a bookworm nerd. While Sue had dated all the way through high school, Jill had only had one date, and that was a disappointing experience.
Both girls were on the university's meal plan, so after unpacking, they headed to the cafeteria for lunch. They talked some more at lunch, but Jill wanted to walk around campus and pinpoint all of the buildings and rooms where she would have classes, so she left Sue to go on her walk. She went through her classes in order, mapping out the route as she went, so she would be able to memorize the routes between classes for later.
Jill had different classes each day, so she had to make a day-by-day plan for getting around. A few things surprised her. First, the lecture halls were huge. She had heard that freshman classes were used to weed out the dunderheads, and large classes would certainly do that, but it still surprised her to see more than three hundred seats in the lecture halls.
She knew that she was a poor note taker, so Jill had refined a method in high school to make sure she didn't miss anything. She would set up her cell phone on her desk to record while she took the best notes she could. Her cell phone had a stand, which made it easy to record without being obvious. That way, she could review both her notes and her recordings in the evenings and make sure that her notes caught everything important. After that, the recordings could be discarded. To record in the huge lecture halls, she would have to make sure that she always sat near or at the front, and to do that, she would always have to be early.
Jill was busy laying out her plan for getting between classes when she spotted a boy who appeared to be doing the same thing. In fact, she saw him in a few of the rooms she had visited. Curiosity got the best of her, so she smiled and asked him if he was following her. The boy looked startled and replied that he was just mapping out his classes for the next day. It turned out the they had almost identical schedules because they had the same business administration major.
This surprised Jill, but she decided that she needed to know this boy. "Hi," she said. My name is Jill, and it appears that we will be in a lot of classes together."
The boy seemed shy, but he answered, "My name is Jack. I guess that happens when you are following the same schedule." They talked as they walked between class locations. Each of them had a couple of electives the other didn't, but they stayed together helping each other find all of the different class locations. It turned out that even with their busy schedules, both would have free time almost every day. Since Jill wanted to find a job on-campus, it was important to know when she could work. She knew that all the jobs would be filled soon, so it was important to act quickly.
Jill sensed that this might become a real friendship or more, and even though she hadn't had a lot of friends in high school, she wanted to make more friends in college. Jack and Jill talked about all sorts of things while they walked around the campus, and by the end of the afternoon, both thought they knew the other pretty well. They had visited all of their class locations, and they had visited the university book store to pick up all of their required textbooks and supplies. Their department had given them a list, so it was easy.
It turned out that Jack would be living in the dorm right next to Jill's dorm, and they would be using the same cafeteria. In other words, they would be seeing each other a lot, so it was fortunate that they had made friends with each other early. It was dinnertime, so they decided to go to dinner together. Sue joined them as did Jack's roommate Tom. They all seemed to get along well, which Jill was very happy about.
One luxury that Jill did have was a laptop computer and a printer. She had worked hard during the summers between her high school years to earn the money to buy these items. The laptop and printer were a few years old now, but she had taken good care of them, so she thought they should last for many more years. Having a computer and printer in her room meant that she wouldn't have to use the computer labs to complete her assignments, which would be a huge time saver.
After dinner, Jill went back to her room to get on-line to search for jobs. One other perk about living in the dorm was free WIFI, so she always had internet access. Jill got on the university bulletin board and quickly found jobs in which she was interested. One of them was as a librarian assistant, which offered flexible hours. She took down the information and determined to apply the next morning.
