Cassie was alone in her dorm, swaddled up in her comforter, leaning against her pillow as she tapped away at her phone. It was a boring Thursday night. Nobody was doing anything fun, all of her work was done, and it wasn’t quite time to sleep. So she spent those last hours of the night the way she usually did, texting her highschool friends.

The door opened, and in the doorway stood Sally. She strode in stiffly and gently closed the door behind her. She was in her lab coat, something Cassie had never seen her wear in the dorm rooms, she always went to the bathrooms so she could change in private.

“Hey,” Cassie said. 

“Hey…” Sally sighed.

“You Ok?”

“Oh, I’m fantastic.” Sally walked up to her bed and unbuttoned her lab coat. She let it fall, kicked off her shoes, undid her hair, took off her glasses, and plopped down onto the bed on her back. “Ahhh…”

Cassie looked on dumbly. She just looked over at her roommate almost expressionless.

Sally saw her enigmatic gaze. “What?”

“You’re awfully… naked.”

Sally looked down at herself. It was true. She was totally nude except for her pink ankle socks. “Oh, yeah. Sorry about that.”

Cassie expected her to scramble for her onesie, but instead she lazily lifted her comforter and wriggled into it. She hardly even reacted to Cassie seeing her parts. Who the hell is this, and what have they done with Sally? Whoever this was simply didn’t give a shit. She had showed off her intimates as casually as an infant. This wasn’t the same bookworm that blushed at the mere mention of sex. Oh, and she was hot. Had she really been hiding all of that this entire time?

“You’re going to sleep?” Cassie asked.

“Mmhmm. I’m tired. Had a pretty exciting time in the lab. I’m a little fizzed out.”

“Oh, Ok.” Did she get laid? “What kind of exciting?”

“Oh, nothing crazy. Just…” Sally thought for a moment. “Exciting.”

“I see.” Yup. She definitely got laid. Cassie smiled to herself. She felt proud for Sally. A pretty girl like her finally got the loving she deserved. She bet it was with Teddy, too. Well now I’m kinda jealous. Lucky girl.

Cassie’s head jerked up. She heard a noise. “Did you hear that?”

Sally suddenly jerked in her covers. Her eyes shot open and her lids twitched. She squirmed and bit her lip. Cassie thought she was fighting cramps.

“Nope!” Sally grunted. “Didn’t hear a thing.”

“Are you Ok?” Cassie asked, concerned.

“Yup! I’m fine!” Slowly she got a hold of herself and relaxed. She took deep breaths and sighed with relief. “Yeah… I’m fine.”

“Uh, Ok. Good.” Well that was weird. Cassie returned to her phone and tried to ignore whatever the hell was up with Sally. She quickly forgot about the strange noise she had heard. She wasn’t certain, but she thought it sounded like screaming.
