The ned to be interviews between both parties, but he knew that was a load of crap

He was a fucking catch and he knew it He wasn't old, he wasn't ugly, and apparently, that's all it took to ement' website

Before he'd set up the very first , he'd made a list of three questions he would ask If any of the woot his , he would then play the rest of the initialby ear, maybe move forward

So far, it had been a bust

All three women were shallow, vain, and so hardened in both looks and speech that they resembled little more than prostitutes When he'd co this, the ansere varied

One woman wanted a new set of boobs One looked at hi The one sitting across fro jobs and had proceeded to show him an array of naked prints of herself

He supposed that these were the types of wo for Cold women who knehat they wanted and ould make it easy for him to just fuck them and leave until the next time

But there lay his problem

Not a one of them so much as made his cock twitch

In fact, they fairly disgusted him

The one in front of hiers over his and stroked the back of his hand

So shriveled and died within him and he pulled his hand out from under hers and motioned for the waiter "Check, please"

Two days later, Jessica was at her wits end as she packed boxes and prepared toat least for the suoing

Her roo her best to help, but Allison had it easy She had parents who could be depended on to write out a huge check for living expenses and tuition every seed Jessica to rush with her this last year But there was no way Jessica couldn't afford the dues, let alone the clothes and everything else that would be expected of her

"You need to quit worrying soork out, it always does I don't know anyone as smart as you, Jess And you know you can coht I want you to come with me this time"

"What for?" Jessica's voice was resigned as she slipped a pair of ragged tennis shoes into a cardboard box Although she appreciated Allison's offer, she knew it couldn't be permanent and it horrified her to be a burden on her friend's family

"Just because You need to get out"

"I don't have a place to live I've got shit I need to figure out I don't even have ht and I'm out of ramen noodles I have no choice but to eat at the cafeteria" Another jolt of distress hit Jessica when she thought about how close she was to not having a reat, but it was nutritious and just onethat would disappear in a few days now that her scholarship was gone

"No, you don't The guys are grilling hao with lint of excitelimmered in her eyes "There's only one rule, if you're feet in free"

Five hours later, Jessica leaned against a wall in the corner of a huge living rooone warm Her face and her eyes looked in one direction, but her stomach was tied in knots and heron two sorority girls who stood only a couple of feet away from her in whispered conversation

"I'irl who's done it The dude paid for her tuition"

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah There's this whole new industry popping up on the Internet Evidently, there are several websites They ar babies"

"That's prostitution"

"Not technically Morally, yeah, ainst the law"

"How do they get aith it?"

"I don't have a clue"

"So is Melanie's friend a slut or so?"

"Girl, no, she's not She's pre-med and as classy as shit"

Jessica strained her ears to hear irls had turned and walked out onto the patio together, leaving her reeling as she sagged against the wall

Later that night, Jessica sat in the library at her favorite co loudly in her ears It hadn't taken her very long to do a search on the subject the sorority girls had been discussing and now she sat almost hype

rventilating at what she was reading and at what she was considering doing

Could she do it? Could she sleep with soe for financial restitution?

She didn't care what she'd heard earlier in the evening

It sounded like prostitution Could she prostitute herself in exchange for her college degree?

She wanted to say no, she was better than that, but insidious pictures slaes of her future with no college degree, no family support system, and no credit line available to her to even buy a car Working in a fast food restaurant her whole life and having to live close enough that she'd have to walk back and forth everywhere she went Then another set of pictures caht at the frat party Drunken girls walking off into darkened corners with guys fro off She and Allison had arrived early enough in the evening for Jessica to see who cairls, and weren't in any type of long-teruys that she could see

What she witnessed were just hook-ups

Each couple had walked away, until the bedrooms upstairs were filled and every corner in the house had peopleout in a heated rush Alcohol flowed freely, and it was not only because of the fact that Jessica detested beer and alcohol of any kind that she'd stayed completely sober

Sober enough to hear and re in the library fighting her conscience

So, uys all the time Even Allison did it And Jessica tried her best not to judge her for it When Jessica had irl had had a boyfriend But that hadn't lasted long And now, Jessica knew that Allison kept a count of the guys she'd hooked up with Nine so far And Allison acted as if she were alirls she ran around with

Jessica hadn't hooked-up with a single guy during her entire tie

Now herup with reasons that would justify what she was conteuys and Jessica only one, then that wasn't so bad, was it?
