C. and Y.

Part 1   Carlton sat with Yara around the little table in the on-campus pub returning her nervous smile. Neither of them had ever been particularly social with strangers, but their professor had assigned them to a team for a group project. Yara had been particularly grateful for the accommodation of letting Carlton be on the team with her.   The pictures and memorabilia supported all the school teams, but he’d never been much of a fan of athletics. Luckily it was a slow night, not enough people to make them uncomfortable. Noisy restaurants made Yara very uneasy, and he didn’t care much for crowds.   Carlton thought of the other three teammates as the ‘sorority girls’ without knowing if they were in one. They were always made up and dressed fashionably whenever he saw them. They were sharing a drink after figuring out their presentation topic and roles.   “How long have you guys been friends?” Kami asked them. She was the cutesy type with burgundy hair, designer cloth...

Game

Grant swiveled his point of view to check the known hiding spots for this game map. “Checking all the spots.” “I’ve cleared the level. Only one more place she can be.” He worked the controls, and his view panned. He bobbed up the stairs and around the corner. Squat and crawl under the window. “Going for speed over stealth.

I’ve got her now.” His onscreen persona kicked open the door and tossed a flashbang that rebounded off the wall to explode in the room. He slid his view around the last corner and... nothing. “Wha- where is she?” His screen turned red, showing he was killed.  “No way!” The screen switched to a third-person perspective replaying his death. BunnyKiller002 stealthed up in a straight line behind him as his avatar zig-zagged across the open field. She almost caught up to him when he breache...

George and Andy: Nerd Lovers

George’s answered his cell phone. “Hey, Fiona. How’s it going?” Fiona trilled, “George! You want to go to a party Friday night; I know you do.” Fiona’s voice lilted higher on the end note.  Fiona usually invited George to Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity social events when there was someone new and exciting to meet. They must be cute because Fiona sounded excited, talking quickly and in a higher register. George assumed Fiona was looking for a second opinion. “The Center having an event? Sure, I’ll be your wing man.” “Funny. Yes, there is a mixer. I’ll text you the details. Thanks, buddy, see you then. Gotta go, lots to do.” After saying, “I will see you then,” George ended the call.  George was excited for Fiona, and his curiosity peaked. Fiona and George defined attractiveness the same when it came to women. Flirting by proxy was much easier for George than talking directly to a woman he’s interested in, so he looked forward to playing ‘wingman.’ On Friday night, Ge...
