"Time! Drop your pencils and place your test booklets on my desk before you leave. How’d it go Ashley?"

Her professor questions as she hands him her test.

"Good…"

"How’s your project coming along? Still planning to change the way we view memory simulation?"

"I don’t really have a choice."

An awkward moment passes between them before Ashley gives him her best smile and follows the crowd out of the room.

"Christ…" Kyla simply smiles at her roommate’s reaction to the smell of their dorm

"Later Kyla."

For what seems like the hundredth time some random poorly dressed girl pushes past her and stumbles into the hall.

"You pick em well Ky."

"Yeah? Here’s your shirt back." Kyla pulls the shirt from under her covers and throws it across the room into Ashley’s arms.

"Uhh, you sick motherfucker." She says as she lets her shirt fall to the ground. "Get dressed. We’re going out."

"Why? You get a hundred on another paper or some shit?"

"Nope, this is better." Smiling she spins around to face her roommate. "Seven years without a single blackout."

"Fuck yeah Ash. Let’s do this."

"So, which one of you has the pet worms?"

"Me, it’s a psych project about memory loss." Ashley says.

"Explain before all this excitement becomes too much for me." A tall brunette says as she starts to caress Ashley’s back.

Ashley sinks a ball into the corner pocket before responding. "If I can figure out how a worm’s memory functions it should help figure out the complexities of the human brain."

"Let me take this shot." Kyla says. She lines up her shot and then intentionally hits the cue ball at the right angle to make it jump off of the table and land on the table of some frat guys that had been throwing shit at her.

They stand. "You stupid fucking dyke." Kyla raises the pool cue up and then brings it back down across the table, breaking in half. Opting to live another day they sit back down.

Realizing that coming to the bar was a bad idea Ashley says, "Well I guess you guys won that one."

Lips attached the pair stumbles into the dorm. Laughing the brunette pulls away from Ashley. "It smells like sex in here."
