Statistics - part 4 by arcovionomicron@gmail.com On this sunday, as Tom made his way back to his dorm room, he couldn't believe how far and fast things had progressed since mid-october. Once he was back in his dorm room, he decided that before anything he needed to take a shower. Once the hot water started hitting his body, and his mind started to relax, he decided that he was just going to rest most of that day. Once he was finished with his shower, and he had brushed his teeth, he headed to the cafeteria alone and had a light lunch. Since meeting Cindy, he had seen less and less of his friends, and more and more of her. Anytime he thought of her, it seemed as if his entire world and being was beginning to revolve around her. The more he tried to keep her out of his mind, the more she seemed to occupy his mind. Once he was back in his room, he decided to take a nap. Since he had hardly slept the night before, his mind and body essentially shut down, and he slept through the night. He was awake by 8 am. Once again, he went to the cafeteria alone, and went to his morning classes. During his classes, he would sometimes think about all that had happened recently, but he stayed more or less focused during class. For lunch, he got a sandwich from a vending machine, and afterwards went to his statistics class at 2 pm. As he got closer to the classroom, his heart started to race faster and faster. Somehow, he didn't lose his nerve, and he entered the class and sat in the back row close to the window. Cindy arrived a few moments afterwards, and sat next to him, flashing him her beautiful smile. As always, the professor started the lecture by mumbling away, and once again, Tom had difficulty concentrating. Cindy, on the other hand, followed the lecture very closely and with ease. Occasionally, she would brush her leg against Tom's, or would squeeze his thigh gently with her hand. Tom couldn't help but get aroused, and this made Cindy laugh to herself. She was beginning to love the effect that she had on him. The buzzer sounded the end of lecture, and the students filed out of class. Once in the hallway Cindy turned to Tom and said : "What is you schedule like on tuesdays and thursdays of this semester ?" Tom hesitantly answered : "I-I have no class on those days. I mostly hang out with my friends or study." Cindy said : "our practice sessions are on tuesdays and thursday, and our next game is on thursday. It would be great if I could see you on thursday !" Tom said that he wasn't sure whether or not he could come, but he would seriously consider it. And with that, he made his way back to his room. He spent the rest of that day and tuesday mostly studying, and on wednesday, he was back in his statistics class at 2 pm. The lecture went by just like monday, and once in the hallway, Cindy asked Tom if he was coming to the game tomorrow. Tom wanted to say no, but for some unknown reason he said that he would come. Delighted by Tom's answer, Cindy bent down and hugged Tom tightly and said : "Oh Tom ! You are so sweet !". They said their goodbyes, and each went back to their dorms. in no time, tom found himself attending cindy's practice sessions every tuesday and thursday. he now had an opportunity to truly appreciate her true athleticism and raw power. she truly was a magnificent example of genetic perfection : raw power, beauty, And intelligence; with each passing day, tom's orbit was getting drawn closer and closer to cindy's. between going to classes with her every monday, wednesday and friday, and going to her practice sessions every tuesday and thursday, he hardly had any time left to himself or with his friends. with each passing day, cindy’s performance and confidence in her classes accelerated. tom's performance was also great, but his was due to his raw intelligence, rather than the amount of time he was putting into his classes. in fact, very soon, his entire world began to revolve around cindy. the only time that he was free was on the weekends. as the weeks passed, cindy would sometimes spend the night at tom's dorm, or tom would stay in cindy's room.
