7:50 PM.

That's the approximate time that Caleb would get back from whatever evening Engineering class he had on Tuesdays. It's amazing the specific details of his weekly schedule I came to learn.

My alarm clock read 7:39 PM. That meant I only had eleven minutes. Too tight? It would take me at least two minutes to run down the hall to the communal bathroom and grab some toilet paper, and his imminent arrival would make the whole thing feel forced. It’s never as enjoyable when you have to rush it.

Still, you have to take your opportunities when you have them. Privacy came at a premium. I was just about to get up when I heard the footsteps outside the room. Caleb must have gotten out early that night.

I closed my laptop as I heard his key in the handle. When he walked in, I turned to greet him, acting as if I had just been there studying like I was supposed to.

"Hey dude, what's up?"

He stood still in the doorway. His eyes more bewildered than when we passed the tunnel the night before.

I heard a girl behind him. Then another. I couldn't believe it. Caleb hadn't brought back any girls to the room without my help up until that point. This was a ground-breaking event.

"C'mon in," Caleb said nervously over his shoulder. "Meet my roommate, Jack."

Two familiar girls walked into the room, both of them smiling like Caleb had been a Stand-Up Comedian on the walk over. I blinked a few times in succession as if I needed to reaffirm exactly who I was seeing.

Caleb had brought the two female Tunnel Junkies with him back from class.

"Hi," they said simultaneously. The blonde one, who I had made eye-contact with the night before, came up and sat next to me at the foot of my bed.

"I'm Hailey," she said as she extended a hand, as if it were some kind of formal meeting. "That's Sandra over there."

"Jack," I said as I shook her hand. I looked back at Caleb, who still looked like someone had stuck a needle filled with adrenaline in his arm. Sandra had taken a seat on his bed. He looked too nervous to sit down beside her.

The girls were just as attractive up close as they had been in the orange light of the tunnel. They definitely did not look like junkies. Just young, good-looking university students. Not the type you would expect to show up in your room unannounced.

"So, how did you two ladies find your way to our room tonight?" I asked, trying to sound casual.

"Sandra and I saw your roommate on the way out of the Commons Building," Hailey said. "We’ve seen you guys walking on campus occasionally, but I swear we see you guys every night in the forest."

"Yeah, that would be us," I said as I leaned back in my chair. "We’ve seen you two around as well. It’s nice to finally meet you."

I winked at Caleb quickly, careful the girls couldn't see.

"We're
