The Right Swipe

Chapter One : The download

 Teresa

Just like every other weekend I was left alone bored in my dorm. It's my freshman year going to a University out of state.

My decision to go out of state was made so I could see something new and explore the 'great' wonders of growing up. Sadly I'm already half way done with my first semester and still haven't talked to anybody else besides my apartment mates .

In total five girls lived in the apartment, not that I mind, most of them are easy enough to get along with. As my thoughts drifted to my apartment mates a conversation I had the other day came to mind.

It was just Bethany and I in our room heading to bed. Beth for short , was on the taller side of the scale for being a girls at 5'9 with her caramel skin and brown eyes .She was starting her third year of university. Without missing a beat Beth always seemed to be meeting new people and I wanted to know her secret.

I turned over to look at her as I whispered ''Hey Beth ...I was kinda wondering if you could tell me how you meet so many people."

Beth took a moment before turning over to look back at me " Honestly I just use tinder "

Confused I didn't want to sound like I was judging her " Isn't that app for hooking up?"

She let out a small laugh before replying " Not always , you can state that you are looking for friends on your profile its pretty easy . Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if you tried to go on a date. If you want Tess I can help you set an account up I'm sure in no time you will be busy trying to find free time''

Thinking about it now I'm not sure why I turned her request down.Next thing I knew I was setting up my profile for Tinder , really hope this wasn't going to bite me in the ass later.

It has been an hour and I just decided on two pictures to add to my profile as Kathleen ( one of my other apartment mates and my closest friend) walked in.

Kathleen was around the same height as me at 5'2 but unlike myself she had a beautiful rich skin tone compared to my barely tan-able skin.

Kat placed her self on my bed while she grabbed my phone to see what had me so lost. She started to shake her head as she tried to hide the slight laugh that slipped passed her lips.I reached for my phone but failed to get it back , damn she was quick. 

Kat got off the bed and smiled down at me  " Oh sweetie , if you needed some help just say so ! "

 I tried to cut her off ,but from the looks of it she even added a bio to my profile , so I sat back and let her finish. Slightly leaning over I was able to see a few words on my profile like ' short with a big ass-personality' there was no  way to back out now ... 

Kat smiled to her self as she tossed my phone back to me."Here Tess look it over and tell me what you think "

I was lost as I stared at my new and improved profile ; there was now a better photo of me smiling like a dork along with a full body image and a slightly clever bio. Nothing too revealing but basic enough to play off.

" Pretty sure the last line isn't needed" Rolling my eyes I knew I was somewhat of a geek not sure how other people will take it. 

My bio read

"Don't threaten me with a good time "

College student looking for lively 

company on my not so busy weekends 

Short with a big ass-personality 

Most of my free time is spent watching anime while hiding in my room

"Nope it's needed " Kat laughed as she leaned over to start swiping.
