After dinner, he implemented his plan with Josie. She was really shy, but he pulled out all the stops and charmed her into relaxing with him and talking. She seemed to enjoy their stroll around the campus, and he helped her find the buildings where all her classes would meet. The whole ice cream date thing went well, and she let him take her hand for a while when they were walking toward the secluded area with the stone benches. In the moonlight, he began his well-rehearsed routine. He even managed to choke out a convincing-sounding sob when he turned on the tears.
Josie’s reaction was, at first, what he had hoped for. She hugged him and said, “I can’t imagine how badly you were hurt by Megan,. I’ve never been in love, so I won’t pretend that I really understand how you felt. Sometimes, the hurts we suffer in life seem like they’ll never heal. I remember how horrible I felt when my best friend was killed in a car accident. I wasn’t sure I could go on. I just sat and cried for days after her funeral.”
“What did you do to get over it?” Derby asked, hoping to draw her out and find out more about how her mind worked.
“I went to Mass every day, morning, noon, and night. I lit candles for her. I prayed almost constantly. I went to confession every day. Finally, I found comfort. You can, too, Derby. I gather that you were not raised Catholic, but surely you know that God loves you. Let me take you to Mass tomorrow morning. You may be surprised how comforting the hymns and the peace of God’s love can be.”
That was not exactly what Derby wanted to hear her say. What was this chick, some kind of religious freak? He had run across some Protestant church nuts in his day, and had always given them a wide berth. But he had never met a zealous Catholic before. He decided his chances of fucking this bitch tonight had gone from slim to none. But before he ran screaming for the hills, he risked one more try.
He turned toward Josie and put on the saddest face he could create. “You’re so nice, Josie. I do need comfort. Would you hold me for a moment?”
She didn’t hesitate. She hugged him, chastely. He hugged her back. She felt nice in his arms, if a little stiff. When they broke their hug, Derby stroked her face tenderly with the back of his hand. Then he leaned in to kiss her.
When Josie understood what he was doing, she quickly turned so his kiss landed on her cheek. Then she moved away slightly and said, “I like you Derby. You seem really nice. I’d like to get to know you better, but I’ll have to know you for a while before I could be comfortable kissing you. I’m sorry if that disappoints you.”
Derby was more than disappointed. He was pissed. He had just spent a couple of hours trying to loosen this bitch up so he could fuck her tonight, and now she wouldn’t even kiss him? Who the fuck did she think she was?
“I’m sorry too,” he said. “I’m sorry you’re such a stuck-up little cunt. I would have fucked the living shit out of you tonight, and you would have loved it. Maybe I should introduce you to my roommate. You’d like him. He’s so damn ugly and stupid he’ll probably die a virgin. Maybe he could read the fuckin’ Bible to you in Klingon!
“God, you’re so caught up in being this prim and proper little virgin that you don’t even know you have a pussy, do you? Well, guess what, bitch? No one’s going to want it by the time you decide to give it away. All the good guys will be taken by the time you wake up. Go buy a dildo and get your priest to bless it or something. Get the fuck away from me!”
Josie was so shocked by Derby’s tirade that she didn’t know what to do. No one had ever been that sacrilegious or that rude to her before. She crossed herself and burst into tears.
“Oh fine, sit there and cry like a fucking little girl. I’m going out to find some fun,” Derby said. He got up and stalked away.
It was still early enough that Derby decided to see if he could hook up with Anna, the little Japanese girl. He called her as he walked across campus. “Hey Anna, it’s Derby, you know, the guy who carried some of your stuff up to your room when you and your folks were unloading the van the other day.”
“Oh, hi, Derby. What’s up?”
“Nothing much. I wondered if you wanted to go for a walk.”
“That’s funny,” Anna replied, “I’m just leaving my dorm now to walk over to see a girl from my high school. She graduated two years ahead of me, but I’ve known her for years since her big sister used to babysit me. She’s in one of the sorority houses on the other side of campus. She was going to meet me at the student union and walk me over to her house.”
“I’ll walk with you if you like,” Derby said. “I was over that way this afternoon exploring. If you know which house she’s in, I can take you there. Besides, I don’t know that it’s a good idea for a pretty girl like you to walk too far alone at night, even if there’s another girl with you. Why don’t you call her back and tell her I’ll bring you?”
“Would you? That would be really nice. I’ll call her right now and tell her to just wait for us. See you at the student union in a couple of minutes?”
“I’m almost there now,” Derby said. “See you in a few.” They hung up.
“OK,” Derby said to himself. “I’m still two for three. Now let’s see if I can up my batting average to a .750.”
Anna looked better tonight than he remembered. Her long, straight black hair hung over her shoulders, somehow emphasizing how delicate she really was. Because it was a warm night, she was dressed in a t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers. She looked very young, very petite, and very pretty. The shorts were actually pretty tight, giving Derby a good view of her firm little ass when she had her back to him, and the flimsy t-shirt let him see how perky her little tits were. She looked good enough to eat, which, come to think of it, sounded like a pretty good idea.
As they walked, they talked. Derby did his best to get Anna to talk about herself, and he gave her some information about himself to put her at ease. By the time they got to the sorority house, she was getting comfortable with him, and he was working hard to figure out how to get her naked and horizontal.
Anna’s sorority friend, Karen, greeted them both warmly. She was a pretty girl, with a nice body. Definitely not bad at all. Some of her sorority sisters, though, were seriously hot. And some of them didn’t seem to care that Karen had shouted “Man in the hall!” when she took Derby and Anna up to her room. One girl walked past them in just a bra and thong. Looking casually into the rooms as they passed, Derby saw one girl sitting at her desk topless and another lying on her bed, completely nude.
Karen looked back at Derby and laughed. “Never been in a sorority house before, have you? We’re pretty casual around here. We’re not sluts, at least not all of us, but we’re, shall we say, fun-loving. So reel your tongue back into your mouth and treat the situation like it is: no big deal. And Anna, don’t look so embarrassed. All us girls have pretty much the same parts. You took showers in gym class in high school the same as I did. We all know what we look like. And this hunk you have with you can pretty much guess what we all look like, too. So, loosen up already! You’re in college now.”
The three of them talked awhile about college life, Karen and Anna talking sometimes as though Derby wasn’t even there. It seemed as though Karen realized this, suddenly, because she turned to Derby and asked, “Are you thinking about pledging a fraternity when you’re eligible?”
“I hadn’t really thought about it,” Derby said. “Although, from what I saw today when I was walking around over here, it look like the guys have their share of fun. And anything has to be better than being in a cookie-cutter dorm room with a roommate I already can’t stand.”
Karen laughed. “My roommate freshman year was so weird she almost scared me. She was some kind of pseudo-retro-hippie free spirit loony. She refused to shave her legs or her armpits, and she seldom bathed. She spent most of her time meditating or getting high. When she knew she was going to flunk out at the end of second semester, she simply packed her shit and left, saying she was going to hitchhike until she found a commune. What a loser!”
Derby said, “If you want to see a loser, you should meet my roommate. He’s the stereotypical nerd. Star Wars posters, Transformers t-shirts, Lord of the Rings movie memorabilia collection, the works!”
Anna piped up, “Please don’t tell me he has an English-Klingon translation dictionary!”
They all laughed, and then Karen said, “I’ll bet he hasn’t unpacked it yet. It’s probably in the same box with his Stargate Academy pajamas.”
Anna managed to look serious for a moment as she asked Derby, “Is that the same carton he packed all his miracle-cure acne medicines in, you know, the ones that just don’t seem to work for him?”
All three of them howled with laughter at that one. Derby really liked having fun with these girls, especially since it was at the dweeb Martin’s expense. It didn’t hurt anything that both of these girls were really very cute.
After they had recovered a little, Karen said, “Anna, one of the reasons I asked you to come over here tonight, besides the fact that I really wanted to get to see you, was to see if you wanted to have some fun. You know, see what the best part of college can be like.”
“What do you mean?” Anna asked.
“I told you over the summer about my boyfriend, Brad, right?”
Anna said, teasing, “Oh yeah, the phenomenally sexy hunk that makes you weak every time you think about him.”
“Shut up, freshman,” Karen said. “Yes, him. His fraternity is having a “welcome back to school” party tonight. Do you want to come with me? You can bring your boyfriend along.”
“Derby’s not my boyfriend!” Anna squealed, feeling a little embarrassed. “He’s just a guy I met when I got here. He helped me and my folks drag my stuff into my room, and then he called me tonight just as I was ready to come over here. He was nice enough to walk me over here.”
