you get in class, we have probably covered.”
He chuckled. “ Ain’t that
the truth. I will see you when you get here. I’ll
bring some beer.”
Max disconnected and I threw my phone in the
passenger’s seat.

After arriving at my dormitory, it was time to get
to eating and gossip. Sayler bought the pizza at my assistance. We ordered it
with just about everything except for green peppers, which I detested.
“Two of my best friends in one
room. Pizza is a nice addition,” I commented.
“Beer?” Max asked.
“No thanks. I went over my limit a few days ago and
I felt like shit the following day,” I said.
“Did you have a Ryder hangover or a wine hangover?”
Sayler winked.
“Nice of you to bring him up. I have spent all day trying to forget the man but thoughts of him keep haunting
me. I thought we agreed to keep this between us.”
Sayler ignored me and Max’s interest was piqued.
“Bad date Jenna?” Max asked.
“No, actually. I would rather not talk about it. I’m at school now and he is back home. He had potential but it was poor timing and he
was older – at a different place in his life.”
“That is not the truth Max. Mystery Ryder faded to
black. I believe Jenna would have been open to continuing the friendship.”
Sayler felt compelled to clue Max in on the situation.
“Come on. You can tell me more Jenna.”
“Hmm…well he loves golf, which is how I met him. He
happened to move in next-door to my mom. I know he is 33. He’s hip and
everything that entails. He has his finger on the pulse of what’s going on.”
“That’s all you can say about him Jenna?” Sayler
couldn’t leave the subject alone.
I returned to eating my pizza slice. Max and I were done being sexually involved, but it still felt weird
talking about other guys with him.
“I will tell him. She - in her own words – sucked
him like a Dyson. You must remember what that is like where Jenna is
concerned.” Sayler had one beer too many. I wanted to throw her out for
revealing secrets that Max didn’t need to know.
“Really?” Max seemed surprised.
“Yeah...but we didn’t fuck though.”
“But you were open to it?”
“Yes Max. Do you have a problem with that?”
“No. It’s more awkward than anything.”
“Then don’t ask questions Max,” I told him.
“Great pizza,” Sayler said, trying to stop the
tension in the room. I could tell by the look she gave me that she was sorry
she brought the topic up.
“So Max, what have you heard about the professor
teaching sex ed ?” I asked.
“He was on sabbatical last year. He apparently
travelled to Europe. He is a young guy so he is supposed to be relatable. It
would be weird to be lectured about sex from an old
man. We lucked out in that we are in the same class. Many freshman girls were
interested in his class because they say he is hot.”
“Sounds promising. Maybe this professor will be able to hold our attention,” I said.
I made plans to meet Max in the morning. I unpacked
my things. As many freshman did I brought too much stuff for the small space I
was given. I had not met my roommate yet. She was from out of state and would
not arrive until the following day.
I was placing clothes in the closet when I came
across a golf hat from Magnolia Country Club. It seemed to be never ending.
There were reminders of my night with Ryder everywhere. I needed them to stop.

Sayler decided not to stay the night. My things were
somewhat unpacked and I was looking forward to a quiet night. My phone began
playing. I was always changing the ringtone so I almost didn’t recognize it.
“Hey Max. Miss me already? What’s up?”
“Tomorrow we begin classes and things will get
crazy. Why don’t you hit the bar with me? We can grab something to eat. Sayler
wolfed down more than her share of the pizza and I’m still hungry,” Max said.
“Not tonight Max. I’m exhausted. One drink will put
me to sleep.”
“Please Jenna – for
