World of Women-Chapter 7Book 2:

You ready? Rigor asked excitedly.

He was wearing a long yellow coat and tie, a green shirt, and his long hair was done up in an elaborate braid. He wore makeup, but he had eased off the white, and most of the makeup was around his eyes, giving them a dark look, as well as his lips, making them look shiny. He goes out in public like that, yet I was the one being called a girl. Well, on that note

Have you seen Ashton? I asked, only slightly nervously.

Ah? I saw him a bit ago, the single guys are going by themselves. Trey and Ashton dont have dates so theyre on their own, right? Rigor frowned for a second. Did you say something to Ashton? He seemed a little angry earlier.

I straightened and waved my hands. Um we just had a fight before. Nothing to worry about.

Oh well youre new roommates, bound to bump heads over some issues. Personally, Trey snores crazy, and I found a questionable stain on my mattress, I think he was banging that girl over my bed.

Ew

Tell me about it Rigor laughed, scratching the back of his head. Come on, lets go show our ladies a good time.

The pair of us headed out. Between the two of us, Rigor stood out more. In the end, I had picked something rather modest. Most of what mom bought me were dress-up outfits, and even after gaining some of my own autonomy I never felt the need to change. Thus, I wore a vest, grey dress pants, and a tie. I was simply a flat cap away from looking like a newspaper boy from the 1920s. However, that wasnt all that odd of a dress in this world, which blended contemporary and rustic throughout all facets of life.

The club actually wasnt on the island of Amaryllis Academy, but near the male trolley station. Most of the women would need to walk farther, but it was rather easy for the men to come down to this club, which was probably why it was one of the few clubs that catered to men. To my understanding, it had a male VIP area and rather heavy security. Only Academy students were allowed to go to it.

As we headed off the island on the Trolley, I didnt see Ashton or Trey. However, I did see some of the other guys. Most of the men kept to their own little clicks. Except when it was pushed forward by their mothers like in Peters case, most of the boys befriended a few guys and remained a small, tight group. Thus, my interactions with my senior males were thin. Perhaps this was truly spawned from a bit of rivalry. These men wanted a chance to bang the Freshman girls, and the more they helped the incoming class, the more competition they generated.

That was one part that Takashas math was missing. Any given guy spent four years in school, but he also had access to seven years of women. There were 3 years of seniors when youre a Freshman and 3 years of juniors when youre a senior. I figured the generalized mentality was that Freshman are too inexperienced to chase after the Seniors, and most of them have already had a kid or committed not to. If you were lucky, you might find one or two desperate women that hadnt been snatched up by an upperclassman, but the chances were rare.

When we finally reached the bottom, the sun was setting, making the view over Amaryllis breathtaking. Of course, the only person I had to share it with was a man in makeup, so I decided to keep my mouth shut. Rigor raced off the Trolley with the gracefulness of youth, throwing his arms up and laughing like he had just escaped some prison. Well, this school was hardly so restrictive, but thats coming from a guy who had spent the majority of his life inside a mansion.

The building we were heading towards wasnt particularly bright nor was it loud. In fact, it was rather nondescript, and I might have missed the building entirely if it wasnt for a massive line that went nearly a block around the building leading into a doorway down the steps. The sounds of nearly fifty excited Academy girls were standing in line. Most of them wore an assortment of dresses or skirts.

I started heading for the end of the line when Rigor bumped me. Hey, man, waiting is for chicks, lets go.

He didnt hesitate to walk right to the front door. I immediately wanted to grab him, but I once again reminded myself that my old common sense didnt work in this world. I could hear whispering as all the girls in line looked at us appraisingly. No one seemed angry though. The woman at the door, a rather muscular girl who looked kind of like a gladiator in loose clothing, immediately opened the door for us. Rigor walked right in with confidence, and I followed closely behind, trying to not look as awkward as I felt. The woman smiled and winked at me as I entered the club.

After breaching that door, I could hear the sounds of music playing in the distance. There was a long hallway, and then we opened another door. It was at this point I finally emerged myself into the atmosphere of the club. Music blasted overhead and there were a bunch of women who seemed to be dancing. There also appeared to be a small food court, a bar, a rec room, and a few other areas. As Rigor described, it wasnt so much a club as a hangout place for Academy students.

The girls are probably still waiting in line. Rigor explained over the music. Im going to find us a private room.

I nodded to him, only half understanding what he said before responding myself. Im going to go get a drink, I guess.

I didnt really know what to do in these situations. This was completely outside my element. However, I didnt want to be following Rigor around all night either, so I figured getting a drink seemed like the right thing to do. As I went to the bar, a lot of women were glancing over at me. In my old life, I would have been convinced I had something on my face. Now, I realized it was because I was a guy. Being so openly pursued was an interesting feeling. Was this what celebrities felt like?

I pulled up a bar menu and immediately gave a wry smile. There appeared to be no hard alcohols or shots available. Well, this was an Academy bar made predominately for women. Every drink was a mixture of fruit juice with just a splash of alcohol. I didnt mind all that much. I preferred fruity drinks anyway. I ordered something with pineapple juice and vodka and then sat at the bar to get my bearings straight.

See anyone
