“I want to get laid.” Alexandria Thomas had confided in her best friend, Jill. Alex and Jill were as different as night and day, and yet, they totally bonded the first day of school last year, when they were seated next to one another. Alex, who forever had her head buried in a book, had gotten a free ride into Cornell. She always wore a cardigan, her long blonde hair pulled pack into a braid. Jill was everything that Alex wasn’t: a flirty, outgoing girl. Alex had never had a boyfriend before, she always too busy studying to date. Jill was linked to a new guy every week; she said she wanted to taste everyone once before she dies.
“What?” Jill had replied, completely shocked.
“That’s right! I want to have sex. I am sick of being Mary fucking sunshine twenty four seven! I want some ass, and maybe I’ll smoke a little pot while I’m at it.”
“Jesus, where did this come from?” Jill asked, a smile dancing on her lips.
“I just want to, okay? Studying is a blast, but I got into collage, so I think I can finally relax and get fucked.” Alex took a deep breath, looking down at her Mary Jane’s for a moment. “Do you think you could hook me up with someone?”
“Yeah, sure! Oh my God, this is going to be so much fun!” Jill had scurried off down the dormitory hallway, back to her room to make the arrangements. She called Alex up the following day, telling her she had found someone, and that Jill and her date would meet Alex at Antonio’s Pizzeria Saturday night, along with Alex’s ‘date.’
Alex arrived at Antonio’s at seven o’clock that Saturday night, with butterflies in her stomach. She tried to brush it off as she stepped inside the familiar pizzeria; it’s the closet one to campus and is always filled with students. She looked around and instantly spotted Jill sitting on a guy’s lap, in an itty-bitty tee shirt, as the guy slid his hands up and down her leg. The other guy seated with them seemed to be turned on by this, his eyes locked on them.
“Alex. Hey.” Jill greeted her friend in that sexy little voice of hers that she uses whenever she is around a guy. “Alex, this is Ryan,” she said, slapping the leg of the guy she sat on. Ryan gave her a slight nod. “And this, is Mike.” Mike had a full head of chocolate brown hair that fell just above his sky-blue eyes. “Guys, this is Alex.” Alex smiled at the sound of her name, and slid into the booth besides Mike. The dinner went all right, consisting mostly of Jill and Ryan’s sex talk while Alex and Mike just sat there. Then, all of a sudden, Jill stood up and grabbed her coat.
“Where are you going?” Alex asked, a hint of panic in her voice.
“I’m leaving. You three don’t need me here.”
“Are you just going to leave your date?”
