(Usual Disclaimer Time: Even though this story almost entirely takes place in a high school setting, all the characters in this story are 18 years old or older, and since we're living in the wide wonderful world of porno-land here, where clichés roam free and things might get a little unrealistic from time to time, please remember it's all in good fun. This story is highly serialized, and if you want to get all the story beats I'll recommend reading everything up to Chapter 19, but if you're just here for the sex, it's still quite fun and I did my best to make all the story beats somewhat accessible to first time readers.)
(Author's Note 1: I'd like to again thank MisterWildCard for acting as a second set of eyes on this chapter and for his honest editing and fantastic suggestions. Please check out his story, "Brooke's Wild Ride" in Erotic Couplings, as it acts as a canonical side story to Senior Year Memories starring Regan Hills High's favorite blonde cheerleader.)
(Author's Note 2: To all of my faithful Senior Year Memories readers (and anyone who's just stumbling into this for the first time, hi, welcome, hope you enjoy!), today I present to you another spin-off story with a character I've wanted to use again for the longest time but never found a way to work into the story proper. If you want to know exactly when it happens, I don't have a canonical answer, but it will be referencing points made up to Chapter 19 and take place during SYM's winter season. As always, I hope you enjoy!)

My name is Ryan Collins. If you already know me, fantastic, pull up a chair and feel free to continue on with my adventures. If you don't, here's a little backstory to catch you up.
I turned 18 right before my senior year at Regan Hills High School, and because I was an almost friendless nerd I expected it to be a year like any other.
To my surprise, it's been anything but.
I thought I was doing a simple favor for my favorite teacher when I agreed to tutor cheerleader Kaitlyn Pruitt. Kaitlyn was an old friend I hadn't talked to since we were little, ridiculously hot, and a major league bitch who didn't want anything to do with tutoring. She offered me a handjob as a way out, and being that I'd never so much as touched a girl before, I took her up on it.
She didn't count on me having a ten-inch long and very thick cock.
I didn't count on her being so enamored with it.
The two of us had sex, and while that should've been the end of it, it wasn't. You see, Kaitlyn had friends, and those friends had friends, and my reputation sort of started to grow. I got to fool around with cheerleaders, teachers, Goths, band geeks and gamers and everything in between. I knew Regan Hills High had some of the hottest girls I'd ever seen, I just never knew how many there were. And how creative they were. It's been a year run by cliché and happenstance, and I'm willing to call myself a lucky fucking guy for the crazy experiences I've had.
I've had a lot of fun this year, made a lot of friends. Even found a girlfriend, who may be the kinkiest girl in a school full of kinky girls.
I've made some mistakes too, lost my best friend. That one still hurts.
The bottom line: I had a lot of adventures this year, some of which I haven't found a good way of fitting into my main story but still deserve telling.
This is one of those stories.

Generally, I've learned to seize opportunities when they come. After a lifetime spent thinking I wasn't good enough or that nothing good would ever come my way, senior year had taught me to seize the day. Sometimes that wasn't always the best approach, but more often than not I'd been rewarded for taking chances.
Sometimes, though, an enticing opportunity came up that gave me pause, because I had to weigh the pros and cons of something that could potentially blow up in my face.
Take the e-mail I received on that cold and wet Friday in winter.
"Ryan,
I hope this message finds you well. I've been thinking a lot about what happened between us back in November, the good and the bad. Though I could have done without the bad, I believe that ultimately more good than bad has come from it. Don has shown remarkable restraint in remaining faithful while vehemently encouraging me to take advantage of the "hall pass" he's granted me so I can better make up for the time he cheated on me.
Well, today I'm going to finally take advantage of that. I've gotten a room (# 402) at the Pinewood Hotel in Blair Valley, and will be there tonight after 5:30. I'm content to have the room to myself if I must, let Don's imagination run wild with what I might be doing, but if you're available I would enjoy your company. More if you'd be willing.
I know things between you and Tori have been strained of late, and I'll understand if that causes you to turn down my offer. I'm sorry that what transpired at Thanksgiving damaged your friendship as severely as it has, but I'm not sorry about what we did. You showed me more compassion and excitement than I've received in a long time, and we were two consenting adults who found a way to bring some happiness into each others' lives on an otherwise bad day. God knows there could certainly be more happiness going around these days. Tori may not approve, but since when does she completely rule our lives?
I hope to see you, but if I don't, I hope you have a lovely day.
Sincerely,
Lauren"
Lauren McNeil. Mother of my former best friend Tori. I won't go into agonizing detail about what happened, since I've gone over that one at length in my main story and don't want to linger on it any longer than I have to, but the short version's this:
Tori was my best friend, and I had a crush on her. I maybe also had a bit of a crush on her mom growing up, since she was hotter than hell. After my senior year got as crazy as it did, Tori and I had sex and I told her I loved her. She said she didn't want to be in a relationship with me, which I thought I was fine with, but when she wound up falling for a girl she met on Halloween, April Martel, I didn't handle things as well as I might've.
Mrs. McNeil was there to comfort me after I didn't take this news well, and since she was nursing her own bad news at the time with her husband, Don, cheating on her, we both kind of fell together and had sex. It was awesome, and certainly inventive, even if we both knew it was a terrible idea.
Flash forward to Thanksgiving, and I'd also befriended Tori's older sister, Rachel, and with one thing leading to another in the way my crazy life goes (and because I really liked Rachel), I wound up having sex with her at the McNeil house while Thanksgiving dinner was still in the oven. Tori found out I'd had sex with her mom and her sister and... well, things didn't end on a happy note. Tori and I weren't friends anymore, and I'd stopped holding out any serious hope that I'd hear from her.
I still fooled around with Rachel sometimes on Skype, but Mrs. McNeil... Lauren (it was so hard to know what to call her in my head sometimes after what we'd shared), she was another issue entirely, one that I wasn't sure I knew how to handle.
Unlike Rachel, who was more than a state away, Lauren lived only a matter of blocks away from me. I'd been over to her house almost as much as my own when I was growing up, and after we'd had sex I couldn't pretend I didn't want her anymore. I hadn't made any move to reconnect with her because I didn't want things to get any worse with Tori, but with things with her about as bad as they could get...
The e-mail gave me a lot to think about.
I had a rare Friday without plans, and memories of what had happened between Lauren and me back in November swimming in front of my eyes (made easier by the pictures of her in the Senior Year Memories album on my phone), I had to pro-con the situation to decide.
Pro: The sex would be great
Con: If she found out, Tori would want to kill me
Pro: Tori was already about as mad at me as she could get, so I doubted it could get any worse
Con: If she found out, Tori would want to kill me
Pro: I really liked Mrs. McNeil; she was fun to hang out with and talk to, and it had been a while since we'd last talked
Con: If she found out, Tori would want to kill me
Pro: The sex would be really, really great
Con: If she found out, Tori would want to kill me
It was a tough call, but let's be honest, you knew coming in here how this story was going to go, didn't you?

Okay, so, fun fact. Contrary to popular belief, even down here in Southern California we have seasons. They're random and they don't behave like they do pretty much anywhere else in the country, but they do exist. They even come in their own flavors: mild and apocalyptic.
The winter rainstorm that came as I rode my bike over to the Pinewood Hotel in Blair Valley fell under that apocalyptic description. It was cold, the drops were heavy and came in sheets, and as usual in this area, once it began to rain people on the roads lost their fucking minds. How I survived the half hour ride to Blair Valley is the kind of arduous adventure that Tolkien or Martin would talk about in lengthy detail, but since that's a voyage I'd rather forget I'll forego it in favor of getting to the part of this story I much prefer to remember.
The Pinewood Hotel was, on the outside, much less quaint and cozy than its name would imply and was more a five story, gray business hotel for on the go travelers who wanted to be near but not too near an airport. Though I got some odd glances as I chained my bike up underneath an overhang outside and walked through the lobby while soaked to the bone and shivering, I walked with enough purpose that nobody tried to slow me down or stop me.
Still dripping and half-frozen and telling myself that this had better be worth it, I rode the elevator to the fourth floor and found Room 402.
