Early Friday afternoon Jodie walked over to her old dorm room to pick up a few things. At ABD she now wore the maid's uniform full time — when it needed to be washed, she went naked or wore a towel — but she still needed some clothes for when she went to class or work.
She had been living in a triple with two other girls, and was surprised to find one of her roommates at home. "Oh... hi, Miri," she said, her heart immediately starting to beat faster.
Jodie had been harboring a secret crush on Miri for months now, and always felt shy and tongue-tied in her presence. Miri was self-assured, whip-smart, and intimidatingly beautiful, with bold features, long, lustrous black hair, and glittering green eyes. Even today, with unwashed, disheveled hair, dressed in sweatpants and a loose T-shirt, she somehow looked glamorous.
"Hi Jodie," answered Miri. "Where have you been lately?"
"Well... it's kind of a long story," said Jodie sheepishly. "You didn't go home for Thanksgiving?"
"Nah, I have a ton of work to catch up on, so I decided to just hole up here for a few days. And anyway Thanksgiving at my house is always a drag... people arguing and all kinds of drama. It's been nice and peaceful here."
Just from keeping her eyes open and being around, Jodie knew a lot about Miri: That her full name was Miriam Allison Gold, that she was from Long Island, that her father was a prominent lawyer, that she was double-majoring in Economics and Anthropology. Jodie doubted that Miri knew anything about her, and was kind of surprised that Miri had even noticed her absence; she had always been quiet and retiring, whereas Miri had a big personality.
She also had big boobs that she liked to show off, often wearing low-cut tops and/or going braless. Even now, hidden under the T-shirt, they were a noticeable presence in the room. Many times Jodie had watched Miri traipse around topless, and every time she felt a twinge of desire that immediately turned into shame.
But after spending time at Alpha Beta Delta, Jodie had lost that sense of shame, and was a lot less timid than she'd been before. Suddenly feeling bold, she invited Miri to have dinner at ABD that evening. Miri readily accepted, having in truth been lonely and bored after spending Thanksgiving by herself. Jodie packed a duffel bag full of clothes and walked home whistling to herself, feeling excited and nervous, wondering what Miri would think of her new life.

After exhausting every position and combination, Nicola, Kristin, and Jenny got dressed and went downstairs. Having brought no clothes of their own, Kristin and Jenny borrowed outfits from Nicola. The dress that Kristin chose was a little tight on her, but she looked good in it.
There was an Elvis movie marathon on, and they settled in with popcorn to watch Clambake. After a while Kristin started to get a hankering: It would be really nice to get high while watching this stupid movie from the Sixties. She knew that her parents always kept a little stash in their bedside table, so she excused herself and walked back to her own house.
Not having been told about Jenny's encounter with Lina Santini, Kristin expected the house to be empty. Everything was quiet as she made her way upstairs and pulled open the door to her parents' bedroom. But she sensed immediately that something was wrong; she was not alone.
The light was dim, so it took her a moment to figure out what she was seeing. And when she did, she could hardly believe it.
Lina Santini was stretched out naked on the bed with her legs spread wide. And there between them was the back of Carol Thompson's blond head. There was no mistaking it — Kristin's mother was eating their neighbor's pussy.
Kristin stood there frozen as Carol slowly looked back over her shoulder. Their eyes locked just for a moment before Kristin hastily backed out the door and closed it behind her.
A minute later Kristin arrived back at the Santinis' looking dazed and shaken. She flopped down on the couch and stared vacantly at the TV, trying to process what she had just seen.
