May 2085: crazy for you, part 2

Sophia is 20, Josh is 18, Leo is 21.


She should have noticed when all he would talk about the other night was how big his bed was, how soft, how springy. Or that he'd said they should meet up after class and go over their notes. She really thought he wanted to go over notes, but as they sat alone in the empty diner, they only talked instead, mostly about his super big bed...

He'd never actually seen her naked back in Freshman year. She hadn't seen him either. Not with their eyes anyway. There was kissing, lots of groping, barely past second base. He might have gotten a handful of boob and she might have felt his hard-on through his jeans, but then she met Benny, and it was over just as quickly as it had begun.

Benny is 22, Leo is 21, Sophia, Charlie, and Natty are 20 years old, Josh is 18.

Charlie was in trouble. He was getting straight-A's in Biology, but he didn't want to be a Marine Biologist anymore. He did when he was fourteen, but wasn't fourteen anymore, and who doesn't change their mind about what they want to do with their life in almost ten years? Who knew what the hell they wanted to be when they were eighteen even?

So now he was a biology major and he didn't know what to do. In his second year, he's wasted a ton of his parents money on tuition, and they were going to be pissed. He'd have to start all over, that is, if he started over at all. Maybe he would drop out, and Natty would go on to date doctors and lawyers and other people who actually finished what they started.

Natty found the party, after driving for miles figuring she'd missed the right spot. "A patch of trees around the bend," he'd told her. "Look for the fire." So she finally saw the fire, small as it was, and she parked behind a row of bushes. She didn't see anyone she knew, a couple guys playing kicky bag. "Whoa," one of them said, dropping the bag. "Girl just came out of the woods."

"Whoa," the other one said, and then they both started to laugh hysterically. They were drunk already, and maybe high too. It smelled like campfire and the earthy smell of rain, and she didn't see Josh anywhere. She considered maybe this party was a bad idea, but then the first one of them came over and greeted her.
