Sitting in front of the mirror in the luxurious surroundings of their room in 'The Four Towers' hotel, Shona sucked happily on her cigarette as Jane applied the finishing touches to her hair. The girls were getting ready for the annual St. Mary's and St. Mark's end of school party and, as usual, the hotel had been booked exclusively for the use of the departing students. Tomorrow, their school careers finally over, the students of both schools would head home for the summer to begin their new lives. While some of the friendships made during their years at school might endure, for many, tonight was the last time that they would see each other.
"There, you look stunning," said Jane, admiring her handiwork. She sat down on her bed and bounced up and down a few times. "Wish our dormitory beds had been as comfy as these," she remarked, giving Shona a wicked grin.
"Wish our dormitory room had been as nice as this," Shona replied. "Maybe we should've stayed the night that time the two American guys brought us here," she added wryly.
"Maybe," Jane agreed, "although I doubt there'd've been much chance for sleeping if we had."
"I see you managed to get that stain out of the front of your dress," Shona said, looking blonde her friend up and down. "I told you you shouldn't've let Matt see it before tonight," she teased.
"I wanted to be sure he'd like it," Jane replied with a pout.
Shona laughed, having seen the state of Jane's dress when she'd returned to their room after the last time she'd worn it. "Judging by the mess he made, I'd say he did. Why didn't you take it off before things got that far?" she asked. "I was dead embarrassed when I had to pick it up for you from the dry cleaners."
"We got carried away," Jane replied. "He couldn't keep his hands off me and I was as randy as hell."
Jane's dress was a black, backless number, low cut at the front with a hem, split at one side, that barely reached mid thigh. With her generously curved figure combined with the confident manner with which she wore it, the dress was provocative and inviting in a sophisticated way, emphasising Jane's sexy body rather than covering it. She wore her hair up, held in place with silver hair pin with diamond head, the ends of her long, blonde tresses cascading back down like a fountain. Around her neck was a delicate gold chain, hung with with a small diamond crucifix, the tail of which rested in the start of her deep cleavage.
Shona's dress was a rich shade of emerald green. Strapless and low cut at the front, it seemed to defy gravity as it strained to contain her large, firm breasts. The skirt was tight, hugging her generously full, rounded posterior, tapering out to a frilled hem about two inches above her knees.
Jane applied the finishing touches to her makeup as Shona took a final puff on her cigarette before draining the last of the wine from her glass. "There, what d'you think?" asked Jane, turning to her friend.
Shona slowly and deliberately looked Jane up and down, her eyes lingering on her friend's incredibly sexy body. "Well, I'd give you one," she said coyly before adding, "We'll knock 'em dead," as they both a final look in the tall dressing mirror that stood in the corner of the room.
Laughing, Jane finished her wine then said, "C'mon, let's go. We can't let Amanda and Sandra have all the fun."

Downstairs in the bar, Amanda was finishing her drink. She saw her friends, Jane and Shona, entering and was about to attract their attention when she heard her name being called. She turned to see her maths teacher, Mr. Reid, approach. With him was a stunningly attractive young woman, a couple of years older than Amanda herself. She had long, slightly wavy, strawberry blonde hair. She was tall, with a gracefully slim, subtly curved figure. Her eyes were ice blue and her full lips twitched into an inviting smile. There was something hauntingly familiar about her that Amanda couldn't quite place.
"Ah, Miss Ross," Mr. Reid said by way of introduction, "I'd like you to meet my daughter, Hannah. Hannah, dear, this is Amanda," he continued, completing the introduction as recognition dawned on Amanda. She had seen the girl's photographs around her teacher's house when she'd attended his home study classes. She had worn her clothes as her father had provided Amanda with some very intimate one to one tuition when the other girls in the study group had gone home. She could tell from her photographs that Mr. Reid's daughter was good looking but to suddenly be face to face with the beautiful reality made Amanda's heart suddenly beat faster.
Amanda held out her hand to Hannah who took it and shook it with surprising firmness. Hannah smiled. "Pleased to meet you, Amanda," she said. Amanda noted that Hannah had the slightest hint of an Australian accent, then remembered that she had only just recently returned to Britain from her gap year. "Daddy's told me so much about you," Hannah continued, "apparently, you were one of his most capable students," she added. She had said the last with a completely straight face but Amanda was almost certain that there had been a slightly knowing note in Hannah's voice that cast her otherwise bland statement into a completely different light.
"Can you excuse me for a while, dear?" Mr. Reid asked his daughter, "I have to have a few words with the headmaster. I'm sure Miss Ross will be more than happy to look after you in the meantime, won't you, Miss Ross?"
"Uh... of course, Mr. Reid," Amanda replied.
"Good," replied Mr. Reid. "I'll see you later then," he added, giving his daughter a quick peck on the cheek.
An awkward moment of silence followed that was broken only when Hannah asked, "So, Amanda, can I get you a drink?"
Amanda nodded. "Erm... yes," she replied, "A dry white wine and soda would be nice."
"A dry white wine and soda it is then," replied Hannah. "If you go and grab a couple of seats, I'll go and get the drinks," she added, smiling warmly before heading in the direction of the bar in the corner.
As she took her seat, Amanda cast a quick glance around the bar to see if Shona and Jane were still in the bar. Realising her friends were nowhere in sight, she looked out into the main hall and was just in time to see the head girls taking their seats, one on either side of Mr. Beattie, the headmaster, at the head table.
