Knock on the door quietly

From Create Your Own Story

Your knock startles her a little, you guess, because you hear her gasp just a bit before you hear her footsteps approaching the door.

Her head pokes through the door and she looks at you curiously: "Yes?"

"I just came by to say that I'd be happy to talk if you'd like to talk. I guess I was a little distracted by ... my ... book and the first day of school and all that..."

She smiles and her eyes flash. She looks you over and you suddenly realize you're not wearing a shirt. She opens the door a bit more. You notice for the first time that she has a small tattoo of some kind on the inside of her right thigh. That must have hurt, you think to yourself.

"It's OK. I understand," she says. She smiles again. "Come in. I was just putting some things away."

You walk in to her room. It's a bit messy. A bunch of books are piled up in one corner. She's definitely made herself comfortable in the short while she's been here...

You sit on the bed and wonder what to say. She starts: "So I know the last few months have been tough for you. And I've heard you never really had many friends... I mean, you know, girlfriends and stuff like that. I guess ... I'm sorry. I don't really know you, I guess, but ... I mean, I just want to help out if I can. If you need any help at school or with ... you know, whatever. I'm available. I know a lot of people."

She sits on the other corner of the bed and curls her legs up under her T-shirt, so that she appears to be sitting in some kind of thin cotton tent. Her toe nails are painted purple with little white dots.

Do you:

• tell Julia you're curious about college girls
• compliment her on her toenails
• ask her if she has any hot friends
