Jill's arms strained under the weight of the wavering stack of books she held as she made her way down the narrow hallway. With each careful step, she struggled to prevent her grip from giving way while maintaining the precarious balance of the teetering pile. As she reached the closed door of her dormitory room, she firmly planted her chin against the top of the stack and lifted her knee from the bottom to help support her tired, shaking hands. As she fished into her pocket, rummaging for her keys, Jill was too preoccupied on the task at hand to notice the subtle moaning coming from within the room.
"God damn history paper," she muttered to herself as she fumbled with the keys before pinching her fingers around the small metal object and pulling it from her pocket.
Bracing the stack of books between her knee and chin, Jill slid the key into the hole and turned, using her bodyweight to push the door open. Stepping in to the small dimly lit room, the heavy door still held open by her leaning body, she froze as her eyes fell upon her roommate's bed. Amid the tussled blankets, her roommate Haley was situated on her hands and knees as some unknown male knelt behind her assailing her with frantic thrusts of his well muscled pelvis, filling the room with the sound of repetitious, wet slaps.
"Oh my god!" Jill blurted out, stunned by the obscene sexual display that now lay before her inexperienced eighteen year old eyes.
"Oh...Hey...Jill," Hayley managed to force out between thrusts, as she turned her head to acknowledge the recent entry of her shocked roommate.
Staring dumfounded with mouth agape for a few agonizing seconds, Jill soon regained her senses with enough form to pull her widened gaze away from Haley's sweaty, lurching body and stumble backwards out of the room, letting her books topple to the floor.
Scrambling to prevent them from spilling out into the corridor, Jill fell to her knees grasping with futile hands as the door slowly closed shut in front of her. Exasperated with the effort, she sank down between her knees in frustration and stared at the remaining book in her hands before slamming it to the floor as well. Shaking her head in frustration, she stared down at the copy of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire looking back at her, before slowly gathering up her scattered belongings.
"Haley, Haley, Haley," she muttered to herself in reference to the many promiscuous exploits of her sexually adventurous roommate. "I should have known."
After regaining her composure, Jill settled into a comfortable cross legged position as she patiently awaited the exit of her roommate's visitor. Letting out a prolonged, exasperated sigh, she flipped open her notebook and began scribbling down ideas for her recently assigned essay.
Exactly twenty seven minutes later, the door opened and Haley's "friend" stepped out into the hall, zipping up his pants as he glanced down with a satisfied smirk.
"Uh...see ya later," he said, blushing slightly as he turned abruptly and headed off down the corridor.
Jill shook her head, flipped her book closed and hauled herself to her feet, placing her hand against the slowly closing door, just as it was about to click shut.
"Hey roomie!" Haley greeted cheerfully as Jill stormed into the room and slammed her backpack down onto her bed.
"Jesus Haley," she fumed, casting her roommate a scornful stare. "Can't you at least put a sock on the door or something?"
Haley laughed as she reclined on her bed, stretching out amid the ruffled sex-stained sheets and blankets.
"What's the matter Jilly?" she asked with a sarcastic smile. "Didn't you enjoy the show?"
"Ummm...No!" Jill countered back. "That image is going to be burned into my mind forever."
"Well, you should be glad that you didn't walk in a few minutes earlier then. That would have really damaged your innocent little mind."
"Yeah,I bet," Jill returned."So was that that guy?"
"Oh just some guy from the swim team," Haley answered with her characteristic nonchalance. "Great ass...but a bit of a premature ejaculator. He even tried to..."
"I don't want to know!" Jill snapped, cutting her off and throwing her hands up in frustration.
"Oh come on Jilly!" Haley stated emphatically. "Lighten up. You know...you could use a little of what I just had. It might help you to relax."
"I don't need to relax! I need to get started on my paper. And unfortunately, I've been spending the last half-hour sitting in the hallway because my roommate was slutting it up with some...guy...again! And...stop calling me Jilly!"
Jill closed her eyes and fell back on her bed, immediately regretting the words that had just left her lips.
"Haley...look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that..."
"It's okay," Haley reassured, joining her roommate on her bed. "I know you're stressed out. When is your paper due?"
"The 20th," Jill said softly as she ran her hands through her hair.
A brief moment of silence ensued, followed by a loud, thunderous laugh as Haley clutched her sides and pumped her legs in hilarity. Jill turned and shook her head in confusion.
"Next...haha...the 20th?"'
"Yeah," Jill squeaked, pursing her lips into a pouty expression. "Why?"
"That's like two weeks away! You still have forever to finish your stupid paper."
"It's not that much time," Jill shot back, staring down her laughing roommate. "I have to make an outline, and get some more references and..."
"Jill," Haley stated bluntly, her humorous expression turning surprisingly stoic. "It's Friday. Your essay isn't due for another two weeks. You're going to be okay."
Jill took a deep breath and fell back onto the bed as she processed her roommate's flighty advice.
"Why don't you come out with me tonight?" Haley pressed on, slapping her hand against Jill's thigh in a playful, light-hearted manor. "There's a party off campus. It's supposed to be really good. I know a couple guys that are going to be there...."
"I don't think so Haley," Jill said, waving her hand in dismissal. "I don't really need to be set up right now."
