My first hammock experience [MF]

09/03/2018

I’m a shy college freshman hanging outside on our first Friday night after classes. There’s 30 or so people mingling, listening to music, and playing frisbee. From across the lot I see this tall, blonde, athletic girl running around playing frisbee (let’s call her Paige). After a little while I make my way over and can tell that she is intoxicated. I’m attracted to her and want the best for her. We start up a conversation and there’s another drunk guy hitting on her. After a few minutes she leans her head on my shoulder and whispers “Can you keep him away from me?” I agree and just stay by her.

It starts to pour, and [Paige] just wants to run around in the rain. We get drenched just running to the door and I finally am able to get her inside. We’re hanging out in the hallway of my dorm with a bunch of people. [Paige] asked me to help her hang up her map in her room, I was hesitant to walk alone with this girl back to her room while she’s intoxicated because she’s vulnerable, but I make up my mind and decide to walk her back, help her out, and get her to bed safely.
