We’d shared a room from the very first day of college. We knew each other well now, and had already decided we would live together right through to graduation, and maybe after that too.
I was the quiet one. I had mousy hair, and a personality to match. I was quite short, with blue eyes and a petite figure. The boys treated me like a mate – never anything more. That was fine by me. I wasn’t interested in all that stuff. I just wanted to get my grades.
Ellen had red hair and green eyes, and a wicked temper. She only showed that in the extremist of cases though. Most of the time she was sweet, funny and caring. She was taller than me, with long shapely legs, and a beautiful hourglass figure. Her skin was perfect and all the boys loved her, and she loved them.
We told each other everything. Every time she had a hot date I would get to hear all about it – whether I wanted to or not! That night was no exception.
She’d got herself hooked up with the catch of the year – the guy everyone wanted. Tall, athletic, rugged – the works! She was so excited she couldn’t concentrate on anything all that day.
“Will you relax?!” She was driving me crazy, pacing up and down and checking her reflection every thirty seconds.
“I can’t – he’ll be here any minute!”
Ding-dong! And she was gone – off into the night with the biggest grin I’ve ever seen. I settled down to some study in the peace and quiet.
I was taking a break a couple of hours later, sitting up in bed, legs crossed under the covers, wearing the tatty old t-shirt that I sleep in, when she burst into the room in a flurry of auburn hair and roses.
“Have a good time?” I asked, knowing full well I’d get to hear about it anyway.
“Fan-fucking-tastic thanks!!” she laughed.
