My Junior year of college I was living with a few friends in a two-bedroom, four-person apartment. My roommate was studying abroad so I had my room to myself. My other two roommates, we’ll call them Zack and Ned, shared another room.
Zack and Ned were both the stereotypical nerds–Zack tall and lanky 6’1” 190lbs of skinny fat, Ned short and maybe slightly overweight with a neckbeard. I was also an enormous nerd (proud member of the school’s Collegiate Star League Starcraft 2 team), but I don’t look much like one. At the time I was training MMA/Muay Thai pretty seriously and was considering a transfer into a kinesiology program. I was 5’9” and probably about 170lbs.
I had been somewhat in and out of relationships the last couple of years, but was at the time dating a girl I didn’t have much chemistry with, and we had no real sex life to speak of. Zack was dating a girl, Val, who basically lived in the apartment with us. Val was about 5’5” and a little thicker. She was on the smaller side of a B-cup, but holy shit [her ass](http://imgur.com/a/sTdsQ) was something. She had a cute face with dimples, short brown hair, and an infectious (albeit disconcerting) laugh. It was endearing. I mean now I think it’s horrifying, but at the time it was endearing.
