Tiny Dancer

<p>(I used to write as <em><strong>xleglover </strong></em>and <em><strong>Flash of Stocking</strong></em>.)</p><p> </p><p>When Sarah was 18 and a high school senior something happened with Mr. Moretti the father of her best friend Gina. And that affected the rest of her life.<br><br>Two years later Sarah is a sophomore at Penn State. She's the prettiest girl on campus. She has no money though. She pays her own tuition because her mother is helping to raise her big sister's newborn. And her father deserted her when she was 10.<br><br>Early in her freshman year Sarah read an Internet story about college girls who danced in gentlemen's clubs to make money for school. In the story one of the college girls said<em> If you're young and pretty and have a good body you can make good money dancing and I need the money for college.</em><br><br>Sarah thought about it for a long time. She needed money to make next semester's tuition and had no skills to get a real job. But she was young and pretty. She had a good body. She could dance. And she definitely needed money for school.<br><br>So Sarah became an erotic dancer in a men's club to make tuition for college. And maybe if things continued from there she never would have achieved her dream of dancing on Broadway.<br><br>But then one day Sarah met the strangest guy. A geeky math grad student who was into <em>Star Trek</em> <em>Game of Thrones</em> and Barry Manilow.<br><br><em>Mike.</em><br><br>And her life changed.</p>
