A Mermaid's Kiss (Bay State University #1) - Katie Holland Page 0,3

pain in the ass at times, but she loved me.

“You’re going to have a good time in college. Just think of all the girls you’ll meet.”

She knew the right thing to say to me. That was the only thing that kept me from complaining too much. Hot girls shouldn’t have been my main reason for going to college, but at least I had some motivation to go to class.

I took my bottle of water and went to my room. Since I wasn’t getting out of it, I’d better get some stuff packed. I’m sure mom had taken care of all the stuff I needed for my dorm room, so all I had to do was pack what I wanted.

I started throwing clothes in my bag and thought about the girl from the beach. Not the talkative one, but the stuck up bitch. They were both hot and it might be fun to hang out with the redhead, but the other one really got under my skin. She acted like she was better than the rest of us, not even bothering to talk to anyone.

I could tell they weren’t from around here by their accents. I wasn’t sure where they were from, somewhere Southern though. If the brunette hadn’t been such a bitch, I would have asked them to hang out with us tonight. Why was I even giving it any thought? I was a love ‘em and leave ‘em kinda guy. I could get my pick of any chick I wanted, so why was I still thinking about her? I pushed her from my thoughts and found the rest of the stuff I wanted to take.

Later that night, the guys and I sat on the beach behind my house and passed around a joint. It may have been legal now, but we were still all underage and had to get it from Bodie’s cousin. If I was college bound, tomorrow I was getting high as possible tonight.

“Looking forward to tomorrow?” Bodie asked me, as he took a hit.

“The only thing I’m looking forward to is bagging some hot chicks.”

“That redhead was smokin’ hot,” Zach said.

“Her friend was pretty hot too,” Chad said.

I couldn’t disagree with them. “I bet I could have the redhead’s panties off in no time,” Zach said, wiggling his eyebrows.

We all laughed. It wasn’t that funny, so we must have been pretty high. Bodie’s cousin always got us the good stuff.

“I’m just glad you losers are going to college too,” I told them. That was another reason I had agreed to go. We all came from well-off families who insisted their children go to college. We would have been happy to be international playboys for a couple of years. But that wasn’t in the cards for us.

We finished the joint and talk turned to how many women we were each going to bang. Since everything was a competition for us, I decided to make a wager.

“Alright assholes, listen up,” I said. “Let’s make a bet on this. Whoever gets the most girls by the end of September wins. We each put in five hundred and the winner takes it all.”

“Why not make it a thousand?” Bodie said.

“Fine. A grand each and four grand to the winner,” I said.

“How are we going to prove it?” Chad asked.

“Take a picture of their pussy,” I said.

“Are you fucking crazy?” Zack said. “No chick is going to let us do that.”

“This is for four grand, we’ve gotta up the stakes on this one. Besides, I think you’ll be surprised what college girls will do. No faces, just pussy.” I knew they would agree. They always agreed to what I said. I watched them debate for a minute before we all shook on it. This was going to be fun.

After we got back from the beach yesterday, we found a small café to eat dinner at then we went back to the dorm. More people had moved in, and true to my word, I made an effort to talk to them. Karma and I were now on our way to Orientation. It was sure to be full of nervous newbies, just like me. I was glad we arrived early yesterday, and had a chance to find our way around campus.

We were divided into four lines alphabetically. That meant Karma and I were temporarily separated. We were both on full-ride scholarships, so that meant two different sets of lines. First, we had to get our ID’s and information packet, then we had
