"I'm so glad you could help me study." I said as I let Cathy in.

"It's no problem. I need to study some more too. This is going to be one hell of a fucking test." Cathy said as she sat down on my couch.

We were getting ready for our first test of our freshman year. We were only in college for one week and already had a fucking test. So much for having a chance to get used to living on my own. Our teacher was a real fucking bitch. She had to be to give us a test so damn soon.

"This is nothing like high school." Cathy said as she took out her note pad.

"I wish I was still back in high school to be honest. I don't think I like the idea of being an adult." I said.

I really had no clue on what adulthood was all about. This was the first time I was away from home. I had no car, no money, nothing. I started out with enough money to take the bus to get some groceries. If you count noodles and soup beans groceries. I shouldn't sound so bitter, but I am.

I have to tell you this so it makes sense. This is something that happened to me about five years ago. I am out of college and now I have a good job. I'm not eating soup beans for supper any more. I don't do too bad, I don't like to brag. I have a good job and I have a nice apartment. I've probably have it better now than I ever have.

Growing up we were poor. So when I went to college, I didn't have any money to live on. All I had was some money that I earned from my part time job. I had worked a part time job during the summer to save up some money for college.

I had to give most of it to my parents, to help them out and buy food. I have five brothers and sister, and my dad is the only one that works. My mom has to stay at home and take care of the kids. I guess you could say she has a full time job too. It just doesn't put any food on the table.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know this before I got too deep into the story. I'm sure you were wondering why I didn't have much money. If you weren't wondering, sorry for wasting your time.

"Okay, so what were the Romans doing during the peak of their empire?" Cathy asked me.

"Let's see." I paused.

"They were doing a number of things that would change life as we know it. Things that we still use to this day." I said.

"Give me two examples of this." She said.

"They invented concrete. They also invented new ways to blow glass." I said.

"What exactly do you mean by blowing glass?" Cathy asked.

"I don't know. I have no idea who glass was." I said laughing.

We both laughed at that. I had no idea who they invented new ways of blowing glass. I won't bore you with the other questions that was asked. I only knew about half of them, while Cathy knew just about everything. I actually thought about asking her if I could cheat and look at her test and steal her answers. But, I knew she wouldn't be into that. After all, she was a good girl.

We studied until our eyes hurt. I've never seen a subject that was so hard to learn. I really didn't understand why we had to learn this shit anyway. It's not like we were ever going to use it. Not unless someone invented a time machine and brought us all back to the Roman era. With all of the naked male statues I have seen from my studies, maybe that wouldn't such a bad thing after all.

"I don't think I can study any more." Cathy said as she closed her book.

"Me either, I don't give a fuck if I fail the test. I am totally done studying." I said as I closed my book also.

"Do you have any pots and pans?" She asked.

"I have a few." I said.

How could I not have any? I can't afford to eat out every day. If I was going to eat at all, it was going to be stuff that I cooked.

"I have some popcorn, but no pans. I was stupid and forgot to take any from home. If you want, I can bring over some popcorn and we can pop it." She said.

A snack sounded good to me. I didn't have the money to buy any snacks. I was actually craving something salty, so this was just up my alley.

"Sure thing. I have a new box of butter that I haven't opened yet." I said.

"Sounds like a good combination to me. I'll be back over in five minutes with the popcorn." Cathy said as she got off the couch.

I went to the kitchen and made sure that there was a clean pot to pop the popcorn in. She came over with a big bag of popcorn. My eyes got big when I seen the bag. I never seen a bag of popcorn so big.

We popped the popcorn and went back to the living room. The whole place smelled like freshly popped pop corn. I love that smell.

"Do you have a TV?" Cathy asked.

"I don't have. I might try to save up money and get one. But I do have a radio." I said.

"Have you seen any cute guys?" Cathy asked.

What kind of question was that? Of course I seen plenty of cute guys. This is one of the biggest colleges in the state.

"Yes I have. Lots of them here." I said with a mouthful of popcorn.

"Lots of cute girls too." Cathy said while winking at me.

I didn't know what the fuck that was all about. I've never known a girl who thought other girls were cute.

"I suppose so." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Are you into girls?" Cathy asked.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"You know, do you find girls attractive?" She asked with a smile.

Wow, what have I gotten myself into? This woman was a fucking pervert! I had no idea what to tell her. I have had feelings for girls, but I never said anything to anyone about it.

"I think some girls are good looking." I said ashamed.

"What is your favorite part of a woman?" She asked.

This was something that I had to think about. I never have thought about something like this. I think all women find other women attractive. We are more open with our feelings than men. But, what do I find attractive about a woman?
