This is an 'I should've listened to my friends and my gut moment.'
I'm gonna be vague because any one who knows me personally will know who this is from my username. We will refer to her as "girl."
Two years ago I started pursuing a graduate degree. I'm sitting at the first day of class and theres an open seat next to me. Class has started and 15 minutes in I see one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen walk in. A lot of guys looked her way and she started making her way towards me. Here I am, an average looking dude and I'm just thinking "Oh shit, this is really happening" as she gets closer and I see that she really is going to sit down right next to me. She sits down gives me a quick smile and class goes on. After class we exchange names and no other info. I go to my next class and she is there, but we don't sit by each other. I don't think anything of it and go about my business, made a few friends and formed a study group.
About 3 weeks later, I'm leaving class when a different female classmate (lets call her A) approaches me and says 'Hey we think your pretty cool and seem to have strong work ethic, do you wanna join our study group?' Being a typical dude my first thought is 'Ok, awesome. I just got asked to join a study group with three beautiful ladies and two cool guys in my class. Why not?' So I tell the female classmate I'm down. At this point I knew that Girl was in that study group. Things start out normal, solid study group, late nights, great exchange of stories, and basically everyone just bonding through the rigorous study process. Things continue seeming normal. As the semester progresses I continue studying with the group but I also would stay after everyone would leave to continue the grind. Girl begins to notice this and asks if she can join, to which I don't mind. At this point we all know each other well. The group, including Girl, know that I just got out of a tough relationship. I know that Girl has been in a relationship for 8 years now. At this point I had even met her BF who is really nice guy.
Anyway, I don't think anything of Girl asking me to stay later and study. I figure she just wants an edge over the group since the program is highly competitive. As we continue these late night study sessions, I notice that she does things to entice me. Now let me just say this girl is a smoke show. About 5 foot 6, skinny with a huge booty and a beautiful face, great eyes, the works. And she starts doing things like scooting up real close to me, walking through doorways and stopping abruptly so I run into her and feel her rear. She starts bringing up conversations about physical things, asking me what I like about her. At first I just don't know what to do. Being an average dude I've always had to work for a girls attention and here I am with a dime trying to seduce me in a fucking library. I wasn't complaining though, but the way I figured it was just 'Eh, shes probably just entertained like most hot girls who lead dudes on.'
However, things began to change. I started casually dating a cute girl (lets call her B) who was in my old friend group. She was attractive, great body, and we both were really enjoying each other physically. B would text me really sexy things to motivate me during long study hours, B would send me nudes on snapchat for further motivation. Obviously, I told my study group that I was seeing B. Sure enough, Girl was extremely inquisitive about it. Asking me where I met B, how long I'd know her, etc. Then one day, I went to the bathroom and left my imessage open on my laptop. When I came back the whole group, including girl, had read my imessages with B and were making fun of me calling me Mr. Grey. B was into handcuffs and choking, she would send me things like "I miss that co**. I can't wait for you to fuck the shit out of me tonight. Etc." It was always really sexy and I enjoyed it. After that shit got weird.
Girl started being extra close to me. Started always being near me, eating lunch by me, parking by me, texting me all the time, sending me snaps, calling me when I disappeared on campus. Then after a particularly long week of studying she asks me, after having a slightly naughty conversation about my sex life with B, "what it would be like?" I ask what she means and she tells me "I know what she means" and types a single eggplant emoji on my phone and then gets up and walks away. At this point, I'm elated and confused as fuck. We are friends, have friends in the study group, I've met her BF and she's met B. And I just don't know what to do. She starts sending me racy texts late at night, snaps of herself with minimal clothing, calling me her school BF, etc. I don't do anything because I was lowkey excited that a girl was giving me attention like this.
Then out of nowhere there's an argument within the study group one time when I'm not there and it all falls apart. Everyone is pissed at everyone, and I have no idea why. That's when A, the female classmate who initially invited me to study, just tells a bunch of crazy shit. She told me that from the beginning of the semester Girl was bugging her to invite me to study. That she had seen girl lurking my social media when I wasn't around. A also informed me that I looked like a taller better looking versions of Girls BF (I didn't think so but even my childhood best friend agreed). At this point, I'm just like wtf is going on. Then one night Girl and I are heading to the parking lot and she tells me "It's me or them" and then we kissed. I pull back feeling all types of wrong, mostly for her BF. I had just got dumped by my ex after many years when she decided to leave me for a guy she told me was just a friend, so I didn't wanna do that to someone else. Texts and snaps are one thing, but that took it to another level. At this point, the semester ends. Our group splits and the only study partner I had was Girl. I try to distance but she presses on, and it begins to bother B. My childhood best friend is telling me run away, but my other head is really pulling me in the wrong direction. A month of holiday made it easier to distance myself. The following semester I did everything I could to distance myself but it was too late. Everyone else saw the crazy from a mile away and now people avoided me like the plague.
Thankfully, my study group was there for me with support. My best friend kept my head on straight, and B kept my other head occupied. I think Girl was trying to fill the void that the rigorous program had created in her life, by finding a copy of her BF. Thankfully, it didn't happen. Currently, I'm finishing up the grad program here out west. I see Girl everyday and we talk, but I'm still careful because to this day I still get a text or snap here and there that I shouldn't be getting.
I should've listened to my gut, my brain, and my friends.
