The noisy din of students was still rumbling along when Xavier sat down next to Robert. He looked over at the clock. 3:00 it read as it slowly ticked on. It was kind of warm and stuffy in the packed assembly hall. Xavier could feel his forehead beading with sweat.
Man, I hope they let us out of here asap
, he thought to himself.
He looked over at Robert, who was reading a book.
Anna Karenina
by Leo Tolstoy. He'd heard of the book, but never read it himself.
I should get back into reading
, he thought to himself.
Lately, all he'd wanted to do was play his drums and get high. Well, that and sometimes drop acid. All of which was fun, but probably did nothing to enhance his character.
"How the book?" he asked Robert.
Robert looked up at him, a bit startled. He must have been absorbed.
"Pretty heavy, but really good," Robert said. "Have you ever read it?"
"Nope, it's on my list."
"Yeah, it's a must-read. You may know this, and I won't give anything away, but the title character is a real mess," Robert said, smiling slyly.
"How so?" Xavier asked.
"Well, let's just say she has a knack of ruining her life and the lives of those around her!"
Students were moving along the stands behind Xavier and he could feel the ocassional knee and foot bump his seat. Xavier inched forward and looked out over the crowd of students. He saw Monte, the coolest dressed guy around. The guy had style. Clothes just seemed to hang right on him in a way that Xavier felt wouldn't look right on himself.
He looked over to the dais and saw Professor Morrison shuffling some papers in a way that suggested things were about to kick off.
"Did you hear about Carmen?" Robert asked.
"Carmen? Carmen Sanders?" Xavier asked with concern, his pulse quickening.
Robert nodded. "Yeah, she got busted with a sheet of acid this morning. Apparently, she was getting out of her car next and it, like, fell out of her lap right next to a campus officer! He knew exactly what it was and busted her right there. She confessed and everything."
"Damn!" Xavier replied. "What's gonna happen to her?"
"Don't know," Robert answered. "But rumor is she's expelled. And -- get this -- I heard they did a cavity search on her down at the police station!"
"What?!" Xavier exclaimed. "Like ... like..."
"Yeah, lubed fingers up her holes and everything. And they made her strip naked, squat and cough, all that. Apparently, she balled like a baby, couldn't believe what was happening to her..."
"Jesus..." Xavier mumbled. He'd always liked Carmen. They'd grown up not far from each other, same schools coming up. And the two had shared an early taste in drugs and ... making out. She had always been pretty cute. Petite, lithe frame, straight black hair that she had been styling kind of emo of late. Perky little breasts. Xavier let his mind wander to the thought of her being stripped naked and forced to bend over some cold table in some cold room, tears streaking her face, as a faceless cop plunged his/her gloved, lubed fingers deep into her little young holes. Xavier felt warm movement in his crotch, followed quickly by guilt.
Poor Carmen
, he thought. Would she tell the cops he'd bought acid from her? He doubted that she would. She was cool. But if she did, what then? He didn't have any drugs or anything illegal at the moment. He'd just deny everything.
Right then there was a tap on his shoulder. He looked back and saw Mandy sitting, smiling behind him. She'd put her straight auburn hair in a bun since he'd seen her this morning. Her face was slightly flushed, but she had a glow to her. He felt his crotch stir again.
"What's up, X?" she asked playfully. He stared into her green eyes and held up his hands.
"Dunno," he smiled wryly. "What's up with you?
She leaned in and he did the same. Her pretty face came close. He could smell her. That spicy scent, sort of like nag champa. It drove him bonkers. She cupped her hand on his ear. Her necklace grazed his neck. He could feel her sweet breath on him. His dick stiffened.
"Check this out," she whispered, leaning back. She pointed to a spot on the thigh of her jeans. It was a kind of chalky stain. He looked back up at her. Her grin grew and her eyes were wild.
"Cum," she mouthed, pointing at him. "Your cum."
For a second, he was speechless. Just then there was a low squeak of feedback from a microphone. Xavier turned back to the stage.
"Okay, all," Ms. Morrison intoned. "Let's get started. As you know, the budget this semester allows for two dances...."
Xavier begun to daydream. Then he felt Mandy at his ear again.
