Roger was able to get away from the small town in which he grew up, and see a little more of the world. Granted, the college was only about 4,000 students, but it was still 10 times the size of his hometown. The school offered him a chance to taste the world without too many shocks. While there, Roger met people from different religions, with different skin colors, and different backgrounds.
At home, everything was so…the same. Everyone was of German decent; everyone went to the same church, and voted Republican. Everyone made the money from agriculture. Roger knew there was nothing wrong with that, but he also knew that if he didn’t see the world on his own terms, at least for a while, he’d go mad.
At college, he met Linda. She was a junior while he was freshman. She was a theater major, while he studied English. Their classes and friends overlapped, and one night he came home to find her in his bed. They settled in, just to sleep, but soon found themselves naked and intertwined. He proved to be a clumsy but enthusiastic lover. Linda was the patient teacher.
Their affair continued throughout second semester, until she revealed her secret. She had a crush on a teacher: a female teacher. This was certainly new for Roger. His girlfriend, (although she hated that term), was bisexual. This bothered him for a week, and during that time, Linda kept her distance.
