In the cafeteria, there weren't any empty tables. Amy pointed to one with only one person sitting at it -- a tall, geeky guy. Not seeing anyone I knew around, I followed Amy to the table.
"Mind if we join you?" she asked the guy.
"Yes -- er, I mean, no, go right ahead," he stammered.
Right away Amy started chatting him up. His name was Edward, and he was a freshman, just starting college.
"Any parties in the freshman dorms?" I asked.
"Uh, none that I've been invited to," he said.
Figured. He didn't look like the type to get an invitation. There were probably at least three frat parties for freshmen that night -- especially for nice, virginal freshmen girls. Geeks not invited.
"So you don't have anything to do?" Amy asked.
I glanced at her quizzically. This kid looked like a loser. What did she want with him. Amy winked at me.
"No, I haven't anything planned. Got my computer set up. I was just going to have fun with a T-1 line," Edward said.
Translation, he's going to download some porn.
"So, you wouldn't want to come over to our room and watch some movies?" Amy asked.
