"Skritch, skritch, scratch, skritch," were the sounds from Adrian's pencil as it furiously wrote line after line in the sheet of paper in front of him. He was in the process of finishing an in-class essay for his freshman introductory class. The bell sounded and the teacher called for "Pencils down," as the 50-min class ended. Students around him stood and made their way to the teacher's desk to drop off their work. Adrian stared at her as she collected the stacks of paper and scribble the final few words to his own literary analysis of the effect of Uncle Tom's Cabin on the Civil War.

"Adrian Graham! I said pencils down," he heard her screech.

He quickly stamped the last period down and met her stare with a warm grin.

"Ah...hehe...Miss Hensel my pencil was down, well that is until I noticed that I hadn't put my name on it," he had a knack for lying through his teeth, " I wouldn't want you to mistake this masterpiece of a paper for someone else's work."

"Oh I don't think I would ever be able to do that. All I have to do is look for the quickly written paper crumpled from someone sleeping on it; oh and don't forget the drool. Honestly, Adrian, I wish you would spend more time studying the course instead of your eyelids." A series of chuckles could be heard from the crowd of students.

"I do study your course. I just...animate it in my mind." He grins again. "Besides, I'm currently holding the highest grade in class. I wouldn't want to change anything and jeopardize that."

"Just get out of here,"

"See ya Miss Hansel."

Adrian grabbed his backpack and bolted out of class. A few moments later he was joined by his friend and roommate Stephen.

"Heyya man, Miss Hansel still riding you about sleeping in class," his British accent adding a bit of class each word, reminiscent of Harry Potter.

Adrian and Stephen were both freshmen at Mercer University, roommates, and had a classes together, but were opposites. Adrian was a black kid that was short for his race; standing at about 5' 7". He weighed in somewhere around 200 pounds; some of it fat and some muscle from his years of physical labor back home. He always liked using the motto "Nobility in hard work." Stephen on the other hand was a tall Brit that measured in at about 5'9" and 165 pounds. Adrian's voice had a small hint of a southern accent while Stephen had a full British accent. And whereas Adrian was aiming for a pre-med degree hoping to be a doctor, Stephen was there for engineering. Adrian always jokes that he would end up as a refrigerator repair man or something.

"Hey Frosty," calling him by his nickname, "Yea, she loves me though. I can't help but sleep the class is just so cold and those old books are so boring," he groaned.

"Yea, but its Uncle Tom's Cabin I would think that a black guy would love to read it."

"Well I did enjoy it. If I were a slave I would also snitch for my freedom...or at least a better standard of living. And I loved the effects that it had. The way one book pretty much caused the downfall of the Confederacy. The confederacy and slaves were like Mormons and polygamy, or furries and zetas, Doomed from the start."

"Hey don't make fun of us furries. We are a proud people," he emphasized this with a short beat of his chest."

"I'm not making fun of you or furries in general. I'm just saying that it's weird with all the animals, rampant sex, lack of women and all that; but as far as I know you don't go out and rape animals at night. Right," an eyebrow raised at this question.

"Of course I don't! And if it's so weird then why do you have a folder of nothing but furry porn and most of it gay?"

Adrian looked around nervously and rubbed his head. "Um...hehe...what are you doing snooping around my computer? And hey I have to admit that it is sexy at times. And I imagine a girl there instead of a guy!"

"Yea yea i'll believe it when you actually get a girl. Oh, are you gonna go to Kappa Sigma tonight? It's the end of pledge week and the last challenge for us."

"I don't know. I'm getting fed up with all this ridiculous stuff we have to do. Even though I'm friends with the president and he's taken special care of us it's still been degrading."

"Come on man it's the greatest frat on campus and we're only one night away from being members!"

"And you must have forgotten what we have to do. Unlike you I really don't feel like spending the night naked, in a crypt, with a bunch of other naked guys."

"How about if I promise to stay with you and keep the other guys off your back...literally," he gave Adrian a big hug.

"Okay, okay," his eyes rolled in their sockets, "I guess it wouldn't be too bad. You're lucky you're the only gay guy I trust naked around me."

"Yay," he glances over at his watch. "Oh crap! I'm about to be late for my next class. I gotta run." He plants a quick kiss on Adrian's cheek before running off. "See ya!"

"Gah! Yuck! I'm gonna get you for that Frosty!"

A few passerbys stopped and stared at Adrian as he shook his fist and yelled after Stephen. Noticing his recently garnered attention Adrian straightened up, grinned and hurried off to his next destination.

"Ugh, I can't believe what I've gotten myself into. Well it shouldn't be too bad, at least I'll have Frosty there with me." His mind briefly wandered to thoughts of the Brit naked in the crypt, but a strong shake of the head quickly doused those thoughts. "Agh! Don't think like that. He is just a friend!" The argument in his head was quickly squashed by the growl of his stomach. "Oh yea, it's about time for lunch. I best go before the lines are Disney brand long."

Adrian quickly bounded off to the dining area to quell his growing hunger. The thoughts of what were to come later that night shoved to the back of his mind, but still looming over him like a dark cloud.
