Starting Over

After a while Kate suggested that they walk back to Kristy's dorm so she could give her some of the notes she had "misplaced." Kristy couldn't tell her the real reason for not knowing the assignments.

"I would say we could go back to mine, but my room mate's a pain in the ass. She's in bed already, and she gets up at like 4 am everyday!"

"That's okay, I've only seen mine like three times. She hasn't slept there once."

"You don't know how lucky you are. I already put in to be switched out, but unless something becomes available, I'm screwed."

They walked back to the dorms talking and laughing the whole way. As they headed into the building, they realized that they lived in the same place, Kristy one floor below Kate. They entered Kristy's room, and Kate sat down at the desk and started to copy down all the assignments that were due in their classes.

"I can't tell you how much I appreciate this Kate. You are a real lifesaver."

"It's no problem. You should just be thankful I introduced myself to you."

"I am! Don't worry I'll pay you back I promise."

"Oh yea? What did you have in mind?"

"What do you want?"

"Hmm... "

Kate put her hand to her chin and pretended to think about it real hard.

"Give me a couple of days and I'll think of something."

Kristy laughed, "Okay you got it."

"So what's the deal with your room mate? Where does she stay?"

Kristy shrugged her shoulders. "Beats me, All I know is that her name is Mary."

"Do you think she'd be interested in changing rooms with me? I mean since she's never here anyway... Oh that is unless you like being alone."

"No I would love to have someone to talk to, believe me. I can ask her if I see her again."

As she spoke, she realized that she didn't really mean it. She did seem to like Kate a lot, but truthfully, being alone the last few days has really been helpful. She knew that she still needed more time to sort through all her feelings, and having someone around all the time would make it difficult.

"Okay then. I'd better get going. It's getting late, and I should get there before she goes to sleep. I'll meet you downstairs tomorrow, we can walk to class together."

"Okay it's a date."

Those words sounded funny to Kristy as they came out, but Kate just smiled and left the room. Kristy felt like her old self for the first time in days, and fell right asleep that night.

The next morning when she woke up, she saw that Mary was asleep in her bed. She quietly got ready, and left to meet Kate. She didn't want to wake her, so she wouldn't feel bad about not asking her if she wanted to move.

She reached the dorm lobby about twenty minutes before class started, and Kate wasn't there yet. Just as she was sitting down Kate pushed her way through the entrance. Kristy looked up and smiled at her.

"Sorry, I grabbed the wrong book and had to go all the way back up stairs."

"It's okay, I just got here."

They walked off for class, talking as if they'd known each other for years. They spent the whole day together, and Kristy realized all the things she had missed her first week. All the parties, and the sorority pledging. Not that it was too late to try to join a sorority, but it wasn't something that she was very interested in to begin with. Kate was obviously of the same mind.

It was late in the afternoon when they decided to go back to Kristy's room to get ahead on some of the assignments that were given to them. When they got back to their building, Kate went to her room to change, and they would meet at Kristy's in a few minutes.

Kristy walked through her door to an empty dorm room. As usual, her roommate was no where to be found. She started to get undressed to change into some sweats when Kate walked in. She stood in her room in her underwear, and the strangest feeling overtook her. She could almost feel Kate's eyes roaming up and down her body. Her skin felt hot, and she didn't want to turn and face her. She wasn't embarrassed; she had changed in front of other girls before. This was a different feeling, as if she was being spied on, and she liked it. She took her time finding her sweatpants, pretending she had misplaced them somewhere.

"What are you looking for?"

"I can't find my sweatpants. I know I put them in her somewhere."

"So? You don't need them do you? It's just us girls here."

Her stomach jumped.

"No it's just... "

"Well if it will make you feel better, " and without any shame Kate stripped off her shirt and pants and stood there in her bra, panties, and socks. Kristy was speechless.

"Now let's get to work."

Kate made herself comfortable on the bed, lying on her stomach, and Kristy sat in the chair at her desk. Almost immediately Kristy found herself staring at Kate's body, her mind drifting away from the work at hand. Kate was usually wearing less revealing outfits, and Kristy could never really tell what was hidden underneath. Her skin was darker, and smooth. Her legs were very shapely and tight, and her but was firm. Maybe it was because Kate was a great deal shorter than her, that she never expected her to have such a beautiful body.

"What do you think?"

Kristy hadn't realized that Kate was talking to her.

"Huh? What do I think about what?" Her stomach jumped at the thought of being caught staring at her new friend.

Kate rolled her eyes.

"What do you think about the assignment?"

"Oh I think it's fine."

There was a long pause, and Kate just started at Kristy smiling. Kristy looked down at her book, trying to act as if she had been there the whole time. Kate sat up, crossing her legs and pushing her breasts out slightly.

"How many girls have you been with?"

Kristy felt like she was going to black out. Her body felt numb, and her throat was dry.

"What? What are you talking about?" "I want to know what it's like to have sex with another girl."

"I wouldn't know, I've never had sex with a girl."

Her tone was short and snide. She spoke as if she'd been insulted, but it didn't seem to throw Kate off at all.

"But you think about it right?"

"NO! Why would you ask me that?"

"C'mon Kristy. I watched you in class. You stared at every girl in the room. I know you never lost your notes. You never wrote them down."

"Oh so I didn't take any notes and that makes me a lesbian? Maybe I just have a lot on my mind. What do you know?"

"I know that you were just staring at me, and you didn't hear a word I said." Look it's no big deal, forget I said anything. Maybe I should go."

Kate got up and grabbed her clothes.

"No don't leave. I'm sorry."

Kristy didn't even look up as she spoke. Kate dropped her things and sat back down on the bed.

Kristy looked as though she wanted to speak, but every time she started, it was as though she thought that she shouldn't say what she was about to. Kate saw her struggling and spoke up.

"Look Kristy I'm sorry. I mean I barely even know you and I'm already assuming I know everything about you. It was stupid of me to say anything. I... "

"You're right." Kristy interrupted. "I didn't take any notes. And I have thought about other girls. Lately I've been thinking about it a lot. And... and I was staring at you."

Kate smiled.

"I think about it too sometimes."

"You don't understand. Lately it's like I can't think about anything else. The only time I've felt normal is, well when I'm with you."

Kristy started to tell Kate everything. She told her about Matt and her life before college. She told her about her friends, Kim and Lisa, and Kate listened intently. Kristy spoke quickly, as if she couldn't get her thoughts out fast enough. She abruptly finished speaking and waited for Kate to react. When she said nothing in response, Kristy spoke up.

"I know what you're thinking, but I can't help it. I don't know what to do."

"What do you mean? There is nothing to do. Kristy you are not a freak. I... well I just feel bad that you weren't happy for so long. I think you should do whatever you have to do to make yourself happy."

Kristy remained quiet, still staring down at her feet.

"As long as we're being honest I should tell you... I think about it a lot too. I never did anything either, but I used to think about it all the time, you know my friends and stuff, but I would never have told them. When I would... ,you know... I would think about them doing it with me, or to me. Sometimes I did it while they were there, and they didn't know it. Then I saw you in class, checking out all the other girls. I noticed you never said anything to them, and when I saw you alone at the pizza place, well, I wanted to see, well I thought that you were... you know."

Kristy looked puzzled at what Kate was trying to say. Kate rolled her eyes, got up and walked over to Kristy. She knelt down beside her on the chair, and put her face next to hers.

"I thought you might want to fuck me" Kate whispered.

Kristy looked into Kate's eyes.

"Really?"

Kate nodded. "That night, after we came home, I thought about it. I thought about you, and, well like I used to."

Kristy felt hot. She felt like she was sweating, and she couldn't speak.

"I think we should see if it's as good as we imagine it to be."

Before Kristy could speak, Kate's lips were on hers. Her kiss was soft, and sent chills down Kristy's spine. She opened up her mouth and her tongue met Kate's. She reached out and touched Kate's shoulder. Her skin was soft and hot, and Kristy immediately felt moist between her legs.

Somehow, they wound up on the bed, embracing tightly and kissing, fumbling with one another's clothes until they were both naked. The sensations from Kate's skin rubbing against Kristy was indescribable. Kristy felt Kate's hand slide down her belly and cup her mound, and without warning, Kristy came. She lost all sense of what was happening around her, and felt as though she forgot to breathe. She opened her eyes to see Kate's smiling face.

"Already?" She said slyly.

"Yea... uh... I... I don't know, it just felt... sorry."

"It's okay. I'm glad to see I had such an effect on you."

They kissed hard again. Kristy's whole body was sensitive to Kate's touch. She felt Kate's foot sliding up and down her legs, as her hands busily fondled her breasts. Kristy reached out and touched Kate's skin with the tips of her fingers. She let her hand slide down her skin until she found her pussy. She noticed how soft and silky it felt as she let her fingers explore. She soon found her clit, and noticed how stiff it was, and much bigger than her own. She let her fingers glide over it, and delighted in Kate's reaction. Kate's hips were thrusting wildly into her hand; until she felt Kate's body stiffen and shake. Kate squeezed Kristy hard as she came.
