Chantal Dyers wiped the sweat from her face and slowly drank the water. It had been drummed into her head, over and over; if you wait until you're thirsty, it's too late. Just as she emptied the water bottle, Coach Shelly called an end to the cheerleading practice.
Chantal tossed the empty water bottle into the recycling bin the team manager dragged around and marched off the field toward the gymnasium and the showers. Three of the girls were already in the odd smelling locker room, in various stages of undress. Chantal did wonder why locker rooms, showers all seemed to have that odd rubbery aroma. Just underneath the peculiar rubber scent was the scent of mildew, disinfectant and sweat.
Chantal opened her locker and pulled out her shower kit. Placing the bag onto the bench, she stripped out of sodden half shirt, bra and shorts. Rooting around in her locker, Chantal pulled on her rubber flip flops then padded to the showers.
The first time Tiffany Grierson, the unofficial head of the Wallchester University Wolves cheerleaders had seen Chantal enter the showers wearing her flip flops, the tall blonde had laughed. Chantal shrugged her shoulders and flipped her waist length strawberry blonde hair out of her eyes.
"First time y'all get athlete's foot? Y'all going get your own shower shoes," Chantal declared. "Don't care how clean they say it is? Y'all going get athlete's foot, sure as I'm standing here."
"Oh my God; where are you from?" Tiffany had howled with laughter at Chantal's accent.
"Burstyn, Mississippi," Chantal had said, unperturbed.
Now, three days before her sophomore semester was slated to start, Chantal Dyers was standing under the tepid spray of the Wallchester University women's' locker room showers. The sophomore noted with satisfaction, she was not the only one wearing shower shoes. Chatting with some of the other cheerleaders, she caught up on what their summer break had been like. She admitted, she'd not gone home between the spring and summer semester; opting to stay with a friend that lived locally in Commonstead, New Jersey.
"Went home for a bit couple weeks back? Ugh! Won't be doing that no more," she told one acquaintance.
"That nice, huh?" the girl smiled sympathetically.
Toweling off, Chantal applied the sunscreen to her pale body. She took extra care with her face and throat, including her small ears. Being a naturally pale strawberry blonde, Chantal wanted to protect herself against the sun's harmful rays.
She pulled on her lavender silk 32DD bra and her matching thong panties. She wiggled into another half-shirt that proudly displayed the Wallchester University Wolves on the front and back, then pulled on her khaki shorts. Her last act before leaving the odd smelling locker room was to pull her thick waist length hair into a loose ponytail.
A 'bzzz' from her purse alerted her that she had a text message and Chantal saw that one of her 'buddies' had arrived to Litton Dormitory. She smiled and responded that she was on her way.
Chantal Dyers' first day at Wallchester University, she'd been dropped off in front of Litton Dormitory, patted on the head by Coach Shelly's assistant and told 'Good luck.' She had to search through her paperwork to figure out what dorm room was hers, then had to lug her footlocker and two canvas bags into the uncomfortably warm building's lobby. Then she had to find the antiquated elevator; she was not about to lug a footlocker and two bags up to the fourth floor in the building's narrow stairwell.
Finally finding Room 412, Chantal had to then find the dormitory monitor to let her into her room. Evelyn Proust, her roommate had suffered a similar welcome. Evelyn had been dropped off by two softball players, patted on the head, and had been told 'good luck.'
"Okay, we going do something 'bout this," Chantal said, pulling Evelyn into the hall. "You knock on all them doors and I'm knocking on all these."
Getting the twenty four freshmen girls into the hall, Chantal then organized a 'search & rescue mission.' Group east would go to the eastern quadrant of the Wallchester University campus and note which buildings were on their quadrant. Group North, South, and West would conduct similar missions. Chantal made sure to have the two girls with splotchy faces on her team; she recognized the sight of someone who had been crying when she saw them.
"And then y'all, y'all, hey, y'all? I'm talking here," Chantal called out, trying to be heard over the now giggling, excited young ladies. "See these lips moving?"
"Come on you guys," Evelyn called out, waving her arms to get their attention.
"Okay, y'all, we all meet back here in one hour and go over what we done found out, all right?" Chantal said.
"Group east; what's on your part?" Chantal called out when they returned.
One by one, the groups gave their reports. One girl made many of the other girls squeal in disgust when she asked if it was just coincidence that the Biology building was right next to the cafeteria.
"Okay y'all, where's the library?" Chantal quizzed.
"South!" most of the girls yelled.
"And where's the Gilbert Amphitheater? Remember, we got to be there at eight o'clock tomorrow morning," Chantal questioned.
"West," they called out.
"So, we going eat breakfast? We need leave here 'bout six forty five," Chantal cautioned.
"What? Why so early?" one girl challenged.
"Where's the cafeteria?" Chantal answered.
"North!" most of the girls called out.
"Now, who's got Algebra? Um, Algebra one oh one?" Chantal called out. "We need get us a study group."
"Chantal, you have got to be the coolest girl ever," Evelyn praised when they returned to their dorm room.
Meeting with the nineteen girls that would be returning for the spring semester, Chantal obtained promises from them that they would 'Buddy' with any new students entering Litton Dormitory in the spring. At the beginning of the summer semester, she and four other girls buddied the few girls that moved into Litton for the summer semester and helped them learn the layout of the sprawling university.
