You walk into the first Theta party of the school yeah. You, a first year student of Essex, walk in with a couple of your friends from classes. As a group you waltz over to the bar and grab a drink. As you dance around the living room of the disgusting frat house, you see a woman standing in the door frame. She is a tall, redhead woman, and she’s been eyeing you up for the past couple minutes. Eventually, you walk outside to catch a breath, and she walks up to you.

“Hey. I saw you in there and thought you were pretty cute - what’s your name?”

Her voice is smooth and soft. Her forwardness catches you off guard. You turn to her and sit on the porch steps. You weren't publicly out at Essex yet. At least, you were trying to convince yourself one day you COULD come out, but it felt impossible. You hadn't ever had a girl hit on you before. Especially not a girl I found so attractive. You didn't really know how to react, you just sat there dumbfounded that a girl that beautiful would be talking to someone like you. Shit - how long had you been sitting here staring at her? You should probably say something.
