Fearless Freshman

Seven

It is about 9:30 when guests start showing up. Beatrice has guys lining up to meet me, but frankly, all of them seem too interested. I just need a one and done kind of guy, someone who will just (gently) take my virginity and hopefully never speak to me about it again. I considered asking Kyle, our relationship has already proven to be strictly platonic, even though he is cute, so he wouldn't be a bad first time. I decided against it though, I don't want either of us to develop feelings because of a one night stand. Lukas and I already decided to be just friends which probably means no friends with benefits because, like I said, feelings. I am running low on options which sucks because Beatrice is set on getting me laid tonight, and honestly now that I'm surrounded by 8s-10s so am I.

After what feels like five hours of talking to some guys, Cassie comes up with a "ritual" for the guys to perform in order to "win" me, which honestly does not sound the least bit appealing but it is nearing midnight and curfew is at 1:30 and I'd rather have some of the crowd thinned out when this happens as opposed to none.

After witnessing the most odd festivities, a "winner" is established.

Tanner is his name. He is a about six feet tall and stocky. He smiles at me, a warm friendly smile, and my stomach drops. I can't do this to him, he seems so sweet, like the kind of guy I'd want to fall for, but that's not what tonight is about. I want to talk to Beatrice, but she is nowhere to be seen, so I go along as planned and lead him to my room.

"Go ahead and get comfortable,  just going to freshen up." I smile, closing my door behind him and creeping across the hall into the bathroom. I stand in front of the mirror, and although my make up is still intact, I take it off so i don't feel even more clammy. Next, I double check my legs and my bikini area just to make sure all is a go. Lastly I pull my hair from its sleek ponytail that Cassie worked so hard on, and let it fall down to the small of my back. There.

I walk into the hallway and see that Beatrice's light is on from the space under the door. I quietly go open the door only to find her hooking up with an unidentifiable man. My heart instantly starts racing, but my nerves are somehow vanishing.
