Amy looked at the bulletin boards searching for a possible room she could rent. She desperately did not want to live in a dorm this semester. The whole idea of living with someone, female or not, was just too scary. She needed privacy, and a rented room all to herself would be the perfect solution. There was not much to choose from on the boards, except one. It was not perfect since it had a shared bathroom, but it was about all she had to choose from.
She took a picture of the notice and then called the number. A pleasant girl answered the phone and described the room and the setup at the house. It sounded okay but she wanted to see it herself. She made arrangements to look at the room that day.
She was a beautiful girl but you would never know it from the clothes she wore. Her shirt was two sizes too large, her jeans did nothing to show off her butt and legs, her brunette hair was somewhat messy, and she was completely without makeup. Only her natural facial features were really on display and if she had held her head up more anyone would have noticed her bright hazel eyes, her pert nose, and finally her wonderful mouth that only smiled once in a while. When she did smile her bright white teeth showed and it truly lit up the room. Her neck was slender and her 35C bust was completely hidden by her baggy shirt.
From all external appearances she was a wall flower. But underneath lay a smoldering fire that she kept under check when in public. But alone, the flame increased and she became immersed in a raging sexual torrent. She had any number of sexual toys that she used on herself when alone. But she never let herself be seen in that kind of state, which is why she needed a room with privacy.
Amy thought of herself as bashful. She did not like crowds, was very shy when making friends of either sex, and mostly kept to herself. But she loved school, she was very intelligent, and was a straight A student. The library was one of her favorite places and UTA had a really great one. Her major was History which would seem strange by most people as it seemed a pointless career aspiration. But it was perfect for her as what she really wanted to be was a fiction writer. She was always trying out her skills on short stories, spending all her spare time on them.
But today she was concentrating on seeing the room that might be her home for this year. Sherrie answered the doorbell and took her to see the room. She actually she had two to pick from, both attached to the same bathroom. She chose the outer room mostly by habit, putting herself as remote as she could get. Sherrie took her down to the breakfast area to sign the lease agreement and explain the rules for the house. Amy paid the first month's rent and the security deposit. She now had her private room.
==========
Phillip, Phil to his friends, was a scholarship tennis player. He was very good and really enjoyed the game, but he had no illusions about becoming a professional. He was doing it to help pay for his education. The UTA scholarship paid for his classes and books but he had to pay for housing and food. That was why he was looking for a room the day before registration for the fall semester. Dorms were too expensive for his tastes and were noisy, crowded, and the rooms were small. When he found the notice for rooms to rent he called immediately and set up an appointment that afternoon to see the room.
When he got to the house he noticed that it had a fresh coat of paint on the outside and was really nice looking. Sherrie and Craig answered the door and led him up to the room. It was the center room with the connected shared bath. He loved it and signed the lease quickly along with the security deposit. He let Sherrie and Craig know that unless something came up he would be a long term resident. This was because the house was only two blocks from the tennis center.
Phil walked away in a great mood. This was a great deal for him and he really liked Sherrie and Craig. His stuff was in a rented trailer and he intended to move in the next day since as an athlete he was already registered for school.
He was a good looking boy, obviously athletic, with sun bleached sandy colored hair, blue eyes, strong chin, and a great smile that was almost ever present on his face. He spent a lot of his time in shorts and polo shirts which seemed to fit his sport and personality.
So far the only downside about college was he had to break up with his high school girl friend when he left for college. It had been hard on him and his girlfriend, but she was on the East coast and he was in Arlington, Texas. Both knew that a remote romance would only turn out badly so they gave up. He missed her, especially the intimacy and sexual relationship they had, but it was for the best.
Phil was a serious student and wanted to be a computer programmer. That was why he was thrilled getting a scholarship to UTA because they had a fantastic programming school. It was a win-win for him, and now the room he had just rented made it all seem like a dream come true to him.

Amy moved in a few days later. The first thing she noticed was that she already had a neighbor in the next room sharing her bathroom. Her side was unlocked so she put her bathroom needs in her cabinet along with her towels and then closed the door. Her neighbor seemed to be gone so she went about setting up her room. It only took a an hour or so as she had few possessions and clothes.
Her laptop was one of her prized possessions. It was brand new and she hoped it would last her until she graduated. She also had a large backup drive to store her files if her laptop became too full. She settled down to work on her current story. She had never published her stories because she was unsure they were good enough, but she had hopes. Her stories were what used to be called "bodice rippers", but lately they were becoming a lot more erotic. She was also unsure about what kind and size of audience her stories might attract. But she was not worried about it at this point in time, she was just having fun practicing what she liked to write about.
She loved writing stories, it was really easy once she came up with a premise. The words just seemed to flow off her fingers as she typed. But this time what appeared on the page began to depart from the premise. It was frustrating.
She finally gave up. It was irritating her as this rarely happened to her. She finally saved the file and closed her laptop. She sat back in her chair and closed her eyes hoping it would bring her back into focus. After sitting there for a few minutes she began to feel nature's call. She got up and went to the bathroom. She opened the door only to hear the shower running. She froze in her tracks as she saw the boy through the almost transparent shower curtain.
Phil had heard the door open and saw her standing there watching him. He stopped soaping himself up for a second and suddenly realized he had not locked the other door to the bathroom before he got into the shower.
"Hello." he said to his visitor.
Amy backed out of the bathroom as quickly as she could closing the door behind her. She retreated to her bed and sat on the edge with her hands pressed against the mattress at her side. She was completely embarrassed, but also a little turned on. The boy had a body that she was completely attracted to. As she sat there her pussy became a little wet as she thought about what she saw.
In the meantime Phil was somewhat embarrassed himself when she backed out of the bathroom so quickly. It was not that she saw him naked, it was that she obviously was embarrassed herself. He felt bad about forgetting to lock the other door, but that apartment had been empty since he moved in and Sherrie had forgotten to tell him about the new tenant.
He would just have to go and apologize to her. He dried himself off and grabbed some clothes to get dressed. He decided that knocking on her bathroom door was not the thing to do just now, so he went to her bedroom door. He quietly knocked on her door. She answered after a few seconds.
"Hi, I'm Phil. I live next door and I want to apologize for embarrassing you."
"That's all right. I was just surprised. I didn't hear you come in."
"I'm sorry about that, I just forgot to lock your door. I promise it won't happen again."
"Thanks. I'm Amy."
They stood looking at each other with nothing else to say.
"Well, I'll let you go. I'm sorry, again. And the bathroom is all yours if you need it." he said.
"Thanks."
