Authors Note: "The Rachel Chronicles" is a multi-part series of stories involving the titular character (a young woman named Rachel) and her various sexual adventures. The stories are themed mainly around oral sex, with the occasional tale involving other forms of sexual activity. Each chapter is somewhat lengthy and detailed and it is my hope that such detail will provide a richer experience for you readers as you truly get an intensive look inside Rachel's head.
Further, the stories are written in an intended order and it is
highly recommended
that you read them as such. Obviously, you are free to proceed as you please and I'm grateful that you would read any of them at all. But you will get a much fuller and more rewarding picture if you follow the stories in their natural order.
At the very least I suggest reading the
PROM
series first if you haven't already.
It is the main story from which the others are branched so things could be a little confusing (and surprises ruined) if it is skipped over.
For those of you who read Prom, welcome back! This series deals with the two months of Rachel's life that led up to where Prom began. It will hopefully provide you with some background for why certain events occurred and why Rachel may have acted in ways that she did. Overall it takes on a bit of a darker and less whimsical tone, but if you read the whole Prom series, you already understand why.
As always, I welcome and appreciate any and all feedback but understand that I am very sensitive, and if you're too harsh, I will delete everything from this site and never try to be creative again.
I'm kidding.
Enjoy!
*All characters in this story are 18 years or older*

CHAPTER 11
Rachel shook herself from her daze and stared straight ahead. The girl in the bathroom mirror looked back at her, matching her momentarily confused expression. She'd been lost in her memories of that day at the museum and it took her brain a few seconds to reboot to the present.
She let her gaze drift down across her body again resting just below her waist. She was still naked from the shower and she once again studied the meticulous work she'd done between her legs in preparation for Kevin's prom. As her eyes traced back up her stomach, over her full breasts, and finally back to the soft, attractive features of her face, she tingled with a feeling that she hadn't expected.
Disappointment.
Not disappointment in how her naked body looked. Far from it. Disappointment in the knowledge that no one would be seeing it that night.
She hadn't been in contact with almost anyone from her old school in close to a year. Outside of a few familiar faces from field hockey games or the occasional passerby at a party, she'd entirely moved on. Even from Kevin. She hadn't seen him in over two months and the phone call he'd given her to invite her to his prom had been the most substantive discussion they'd had over that stretch. Which, given what else she'd been doing while taking the call, made the whole thing even more unsettling.
But despite all that, and for reasons she didn't understand, Rachel felt a strange sense of disappointment in the relative benignity that the evening seemed to promise. Truthfully, she'd felt some regret over her decision to forgo her own prom at Pine Valley. She'd been asked by several hopeful suitors who'd clearly had their eyes on such an arrangement leading to an obvious offering of her famed oral generosity. And while part of her had wanted to shrug her shoulders and go ahead and be that clichΓ©, the darkness in which she'd been wandering had made the thought of facing Rebecca and others at what was supposed to be a joyous event more than she was willing to endure.
So in a weird way, Kevin's invitation had offered her a second chance of sorts. She could still get dressed up and get her hair and makeup done all pretty. She could pose for the pictures and wear the corsage. And she wouldn't have to deal with the ugly parts of the equation. But it wasn't going to be the same. She wasn't going to get wild and loose and have some exciting, memorable hookup with her date. The very thought made her roll her eyes. Kevin was like a brother.
On the other hand, she
would
be running into people with whom she had mixed histories. Some people at Taylor Reed hated her and would be none too pleased with her presence. Others might be very eager to see her face, but for a different reason that wasn't all that glowingly positive either. She'd earned herself an honest reputation with quite a few boys, and it was likely that when she saw them and looked into their eyes, she'd know they were thinking the same things.
The images of hookups of her past flashed through her brain and Rachel whimpered almost inaudibly. She quickly shook the thought away and tried to focus on the present. It didn't matter that she'd be getting her hair done and wearing a hot dress or that she'd meticulously prepped every inch her body. It wasn't
for
anyone. It was for her. It simply gave her a confidence that she was certainly going to need.
She smiled again as her thoughts drifted back to that day at the museum. She could still see Blake's hopeful smirk as he'd cornered her just before their lunch break. She'd known what he'd wanted and she'd only put up a small fight before giving in.
The smile retreated from her face though as more memories from that day continued to materialize. Just like her impending prom at Taylor Reed, there were both good and bad parts to that story. And confusion. Strange, shameful, yet intoxicating confusion.
Rachel closed her eyes and shuddered as the voices from the nightmare that had awoken her in a panic just an hour earlier returned. She could still hear those girls in that bathroom.
She heard them every day.
***
Oh my God, Rachel. This is crazy! What are you doing? Are you seriously going to-?
Rachel's thoughts raced through her head as she walked swiftly down the hallway. The rapid tapping of her heels against the smoothly buffed marble flooring clicked in time with her heartbeats as she tried to keep pace with the boy leading her by the hand. Blake appeared to be in quite the hurry, which of course was far from surprising. Still, Rachel wished he would slow down just a bit.
"Shit. I thought I saw the sign right around-. Ah! Yo, there it is. Down there."
Rachel's eyes widened as Blake suddenly turned and pulled her down a pathway to their left. Her fast-paced momentum caused her to momentarily lose her balance, but with the grace of an athlete, she pivoted and kept stride. She glanced up to where Blake had indicated and smirked knowingly as she saw the universal symbol for "bathroom" and an arrow leading further ahead. She swallowed and continued to follow along.
When the pair reached their destination, Blake muttered another curse, this time with more emphasis. A bright orange cone accompanied by a bilingual folding sign indicated that the men's room was currently out of order. Rachel swallowed again and flicked her eyes curiously from the sign over to the frustrated looking boy standing beside her. She watched his eyes twitch as the gears turned in his brain. She had to stifle a giggle. His palpable dismay was cute.
Blake felt a twinge of panic pass through his stomach as he assessed the situation. There was
no
way he was going to let Rachel slip away again after their near miss on the bus. He was too worked up, and it was his state of agitation that was making it difficult for him to think clearly. But as his eyes darted around the scene in front of him, he smiled and came to the answer.
"Okay, well, we'll just go in the girls." He nodded eagerly down at Rachel and indicated to the other door which did not appear to be off limits.
