"I know you meant well, J. . ." I said, stuffing my folder in my bag. ". . .but just stop hooking me up with some random stranger, okay? It gets annoying."

Johnson reaches for my arm as I leave, but he misses, allowing me to walk by him, towards the dorms. I hear him yell out Come on, G! but I don't turn back.

It was a dramatic move, I know, but it's who I am. The other night, J introduced me to some guy at a party. At the moment, I assumed that it was just a friendly introduction, I thought it was just Jack wanting me to get to know more of his friends, because I don't. So I talked to this guy, learned that his name was Elliott, graduated from a school in Florida who's studying Biochemistry. He was a sweet guy, to say. But like any other college hookup, after getting to know each other, he purged his lips to mine.

No. I've never had sex. Go laugh about it all you want. I just want my first time to be with someone valuable, I want my first time to be something I can look back to and smile, with not one ounce of regret. Call me old school, because I really am. Sex should be something you and a partner should enjoy, it should be an intimate time for two lovers. But as time progressed and as civilization evolved, sex has now just become something of pleasure. It bothers me, really, how two people can just meet up and boink each other on the same guy. I want to get to know a guy first, go on dates, develop some tension, and then have fun on the right time.

God, I really am such a girl.

Elliott understood the situation, telling me that Johnson told him that I was still a virgin and that I wanted to just take care of that. We became good friends after that, and we still speak to this day. I just don't see him that often since the Living Sciences department of our college is on the opposite side of the campus that with the Architecture building. Elliott Dawns was a brunette, curly-haired lover of science with piercing blue eyes. He's not a typical nerd, but a cute nerd. He does this adorable thing with his nose when he laughs, and has an amazing smile, despite the fact that he smiles rarely. He has this resting-face that looks like he's ultimately bored, and I find that oddly attractive.

He was also an ambivert book-reader, telling me that he's been obsessed with the works of Chuck Palahniuk, a horror writer. He's a lover of horror movies, any kind of horror movie as long as it doesn't have internal organs spilling out on it, he faints at the sight of that.

Elliott has yet to take me out, I honestly keep expecting that to happen day by day. I've developed a crush on him that I doubt he knows of. He smiles at me whenever we pass by each other, but I want him to do more than that. I want him to gather up all his guts and walk over to me, ask me if I'd want to go to dinner with him, I'd agree and that would be the start of a fruitful relationship.

I round the corner to find Lucas, my roommate, heading towards our room as well. He had his head down, occupied by something he's doing on his phone. Upon reaching the door, he shoves his phone back in his pocket and unlocks the door, I trail behind him.

"Yo," He utters as he sees me. "Didn't see you there."

Lucas Korns was the skinny, blonde, blue-gray eyed boy I shared the room with. He likes to let his bangs hang down one side of his adorable baby face. He's a funny, laid-back guy who has days where he wants to go out, drink and party, and days where he just wants to stay in and watch a good movie on his laptop. Despite how he has absolutely no visible fat on his body, he snores pretty loud. I assume he's louder than me. The first time I met Lucas, who'm I usually call Luke, I looked at him, as puzzled as ever because of how surprisingly young he looked. He nodded at me as I set my bag beside a bed, and as a joke, I said "The freshman dorms are downstairs."
