Lauren can't wait to start her life as an adult. Together with her best friend Vanessa she moves into a shared apartment in Park Vil, a city known for its very good university PVU.
But as soon as she enters the university something unexpected happe...
When I entered the main hall I could already spot Joe a little further back in the corner at a sofa. He was talking to a girl I didn't know.
On the way to them I also saw Lauren and Vanessa, they talked to each other and looked a little confused to a group.
Lauren looked good. The red dress flattered her already nice body very well.
When I reached Joe we greeted each other with a handshake. He introduced me to his cousin who was also studying psychology here. She was already in her 4th semester, but wanted to do a master's degree, which is why she is doing another 4 semesters in a year after her bachelor's degree.
I looked in Lauren's direction once during the conversation and saw that she was also looking at me. She quickly turned her head away and the next moment I saw the group they were watching talking to them. Two of the students took the girls to dance while the other two stayed at the tables.
They reached into their pants pockets as unobtrusively as possible to pull something out but I didn't see what it was anymore because Joe pulled me back into the conversation.
''You said you've lived here for two years, right?" he asked. ''Yes exactly,'' I replied. ''Then surely you can tell me what the ferry schedule is across the lake,'' he asked. ''Uh, yes. It leaves every hour on the hour,'' I replied startled.
''Are you all right?" asked Joe, a little confused. ''Yeah, sorry I was a little distracted,'' I replied. I tried to catch a glimpse of the two guys again, but they were just talking. There was something strange about them.
After a while I saw Lauren coming back with her dance partner and drinking from her glass. They talked and joked together until after a few minutes Lauren almost lost her balance and suddenly leaned on the table.
Her conversation partner looked at her with played concern and shortly after they left the room together. Why does she just walk out with a stranger like that?
''Joe, can you come with me for a minute?", I grabbed his arm and pulled him along. ''Sure, but why'' he asked a little confused as he followed behind me leaving his cousin where she is. ''I'll be right back!'' he called out to her.
