I didn't know jack or shit about how things could be, and I didn't know that there were guys out there just waiting for an opportunity like me to come along. I figured I could work things out with whoever I rented with, and have my privacy. Sure, it meant having a roommate - the scholarship wasn't paying that much for housing - but at least it wasn't a regulated dorm. I was looking forward to having an apartment where I could have a little freedom. I'd had a few girls in the back seat of my dad's car, but they were few and far between.
It made it hard to have a steady girlfriend, or at least steady pussy, when your door had no lock and your mom or dad walked in on you all the time. Oh, it hadn't been so bad, but there was no privacy. It wasn't every day that you got a chance to move to another city and get out of your parents' house.
My folks were worried about me moving so far away to go to college, but I'd scored the scholarship and they really couldn't say much about it. I had just turned eighteen, and I thought I was ready to be out on my own.
