I wish all of my money wasn’t tied up in this startup, or I’d pay for it myself.”
“Jim, please. I wouldn’t allow that.”
“Love you, sis. You’ll figure it out. Gotta run. Let’s talk more soon.”
I hang up, and even though I feel better, things still feel a little off with this major uncertainty hanging in the air.
Turns out, Jim is right. I check my email the next morning, and see the infamous email:
From: President Tracey
Subject: Flunk Day
Dear Students of Greene State,
Happy Flunk Day! Please remember to celebrate flunk day in a safe fashion and enjoy yourselves!
Needless to say, once the word gets around, we start the party pretty early.
I poke Alex and April to wake them up, and we head outside to the foam bubble pit.
It’s definitely a heck of a way to start off the spring, and even better considering the stressful decisions weighing on me right now.
Halfway through the day, I make it back to the suite, and it’s completely empty except for guess who?
Of course, Grant and I may have planned our little noon rendezvous while everyone else is out there eating at the communal lunch on the quads.
After the bubble foam pits, we head back to the suite to change our clothes and clean up. In the middle of cleaning off, we do what we should have done in the shower the very first time we had the chance: we fuck each other’s brains out. Nothing quite like being railed by your best friend with a great cock, with hot water streaming down your back as he presses you into the shower tile.
When we’re done, we cuddle in his bed, thinking about taking a nap, which turns into a very fulfilling round two.
After we’re done, I snuggle up to him and he wraps his big arms around me.
My buzz, combined with the loveliness of the two encounters we just had, has me high on another level. And wow, if Grant is a best friend who can give me round after round of orgasms, maybe I should think about keeping him around.
But I’ve been hesitant to put a label on us, and I haven’t explained to him yet the epiphany I’m just coming to grips with today about my future.
“I really like you, Grant,” I blurt out. “I really care about you Grant, and I'm bummed right now because I'm pretty sure I'm going to be leaving school.”
“What?” He pushes his body up from the cuddling position and looks at me, very concerned. “What do you mean?”
“I’ve been doing some thinking. I’m between a rock and a hard place. My dad is going to cut me off if I change my major, and if I don’t change my major, my soul is going to die. Either way, I can’t.”
Grant pulls my face to his and kisses me long and hard. “No. Fuck that. You have to stay here.”
“It is what it is,” I say. “It’s unfortunate, but some people never even get a chance to attend a university at all. At least I did for a couple of years.”
“No.” Grant sits up.
“What do you mean, no?”
“I mean, no, I’m not going to let you leave. Let’s do it. Let’s get you the money.”
Goosebumps roll over my skin. “You don’t mean…upload that video?”
Grant nods. “I do.” He pulls out his phone, and we watch the video. “No one will find out. See? You can’t tell who we are from this. We don’t even show our faces. We won’t upload the audio.”
I giggle. “Funny. You were the one who was against this in the first place. What changed?”
He runs his hand down the front of my naked body. “I really want you here, Maya. You make everything better. What’s the harm in loading up a video and trying to make some money?”
Grant reaches to the ground and grabs his laptop.
“You know how to upload things?”
“How hard can it be? We’ll figure it out.”
“How much money will we make?”
“No idea. But I feel like it’s gotta be more than the ten dollars an hour you’d make working at the Gizmo café.”
“Wait, Grant. We’re drunk. Right? We’ll regret this.”
He pauses. “Maya, the entire system is stacked against us. Against you. College is so unfairly expensive, and even if you did get a loan, you’d be paying it back for twenty years like an indentured servant! This is one small act of rebellion, and maybe it will help you.”
“Donnie said something once. He said he likes watching the couples who are in
