Jia's summer break was finally coming to a close. The schoolyear started next week and the first year orientation, or O-Week, was beginning in the afternoon once residential first years had moved in. Jia had spent the noisy morning in her dorm where she reflected on the past few months living in this transformed life.
She was now used to movement and any physical adjustments like the literal weight on her chest, posture and balance, and even using the bathroom. About a month into the program, Riley had reached out to Jia about her readiness of school starting soon and offered a chance to back out, albeit the consequences would be the same. Jia of course did not take the offer but did use the rare opportunity of communication with Riley to ask about periods and how real the organs inside of her were. Riley explained that due to not having grown up with periods and the difficulties/uncomfortableness caused by them, the transformation did not provide the full menstrual cycle. It did however include a pseudo ovulation period, which Jia made a connection of the first few days after she transformed. Not having periods then answered the question on pregnancy, an impossibility though Riley seemed to hint about a way to do so.
Riley then asked sensitive questions about Jia's sex life, if she's touched herself, if she enjoyed it more than a she did as Jin, and if she had been with a man yet. Jia at that point, and even now, hadn't lost her virginity. The rest of the summer was spent on focusing on the transition, Jia's inner student prevalent with all the studying, research, and practice. There were of course times near the end of the month when she felt hornier and the warmth in her body grew. Like her first full day she would spend much of it masturbating and getting herself off, her pillow and marker love-making becoming a regular habit. There were times when she was in more heat than usual and would venture down to the commercial floor or the lobby. She would wear purposefully revealing outfits like her gym clothes, or a matching teal sports bra and gym shorts which hugged her figure tightly. Oh the joy...the excitement Jia got from the stares of both men and women. These excursions would be limited as Jia's warmth would start to leak out and Jia would hurry home, knowing she's about to have another out of body experience.
Now Jia starred out her naturally lit living room and watched as fellow first years were helped inside by staff and university volunteers. 'Some of them may become my friends, but can I keep my secret from them in next four years? Can I act like a normal girl?' Jia thought. During the summer months, Jia spend most of it in her dorm just learning. She hadn't had much conversation with others, partly due to fear of revealing her past life and partly due to Jin's social anxiety which was only strengthened with the transformation. Sure she had nearly flashed men and intently showed off her body but conversations were a different obstacle that she had yet to overcome. Today's floor meeting would be the start of O-Week and since its meant as an icebreaker, Jia knew she wouldn't be the only awkward one. It was a chance to open up.
Taking a final look in the mirror Jia micro-adjusted her outfit, tucking her hot pink bra strap in. Today she chose to wear a cropped white t-shirt with a tattoo-like angel graphic on the back. It only revealed a portion of Jia's midriff and a notable gap from her breasts kept the fabric from touching her stomach. She had black sports leggings on which sometimes wore up too much in the crotch area but the colour would hide any noticeable lines of camel toe, her choice of underwear not covering as much as other kinds might. Her hot pink bra was the default style, a regular t-shirt bra that offered support and had a smooth gliding texture. The top of the cups were flourished with a shade darker pattern resembling snowflakes. Her underwear of choice today was more devious and an in-the-moment decision. Visiting Kelsey from the lingerie shop recently, Jia was recommended a matching coloured thong. It embraced Jia's lower body and the back slipped between Jia's cheeks. It outlined her ass in a high-cut or "cheeky" style, though her purposeful choice of black leggings hid much of the outline. The front was thankfully solid despite being the thinnest of all the underwear Jia owned.
Satisfied with her outfit, Jia looked over her recently replaced phone and found the email sent out to all of those living on the 11th floor of The Luxury.
'Hello first years and welcome to the University of Woodhaven and The Luxury!! My name is Ethan Wong, a 4th year mathematics major and I'll be your don for this year! First thing we'll do is coordinate in this floor's common room and do some icebreakers. We'll be spending the year together so it'll be a good opportunity for everyone to meet and get comfortable around each other. Furthermore, we'll have hands-on group activities after where we'll maximize the residences commodities! Please be in the common room by 3:00pm!
-Ethan Wang'
With excitement and nervousness in her stomach from, Jia headed out with five minutes to spare. The common room was spacious, a few times larger than the area of her already spacious dorm room. It had a large community table and sturdy desks, a T.V., couches, and chairs which were currently set up in a circle with people sitting on them already. During the summer months of research, Jia had found out more about the residence building. Though it was primarily a first year residence, a few of the other floors could be rented out and used by upper years. Floors 7-11 were dedicated to first years, while Floors 4-6 could be rented. The first year floors were coed with 12 guys and 12 girls on each, genders being split on different sides (Jia was living in the very end of one at a corner). As Jia walked over to a chair, some heads turned to face her.
"Hi everyone, I'm Jianna Park but you can call me Jia for short!" Jia said reaching a chair.
A girl with a ebony skin tone and dyed hair to her right smiled gently and began, "Hey Ji-" but then a masculine voice overpowered the girl from behind where Jia had just entered.
"Hey there Jia, good to see you again. My names Jackson, and it is a pleasure for me to meet all of you."
Jia noticed the girl's face of annoyance from being cut off but then widening of eyes and a starstruck look. Jia turned her head and saw a tall, handsome dirty blond at the doorway. The same one from in front of the elevators who was mutually aware that she had teased and intentionally nearly flashed. Jia could feel the blood rushing to her face. "Good to see you too...Jackson," Jia said holding eye contact to look unfazed but her blushing face giving her emotions away. She turned her head forwards dreading the fact of meeting him here, and living on the same floor.

Small talk about hometowns, hobbies, and programs made up the next few minutes as everyone trickled in, including the don. Ethan was a short 5'4, 2nd generation Chinese, nerdy-looking guy who dressed in expensive but tacky and oversized brands. 'He's not very pleasant to look at but he's enthusiastic at least...' thought Jia as he began introductory icebreakers.
Jia's floormates all seemed surprising attractive. Not in a Jia is horny sort of way but objectively this group seemed more good-looking. There were those of muscular and athletic builds like Jackson along with most of the guys but also within the girls too, including the ebony girl next to Jia. Through the introductions and answering hobby questions, a fair amount of people had modelled or are currently modeling. Conventional and non conventional beauties both existed, some with unique styles like a goth girl with tattoos and blue hair, a guy with psychedelic hippy wear with a rugged look, an almost anime-like Japanese girl, etc.
Most people's introductions were barely retained, so many names and information to remember but when it came to Jackson's turn, Jia unconsciously paid close attention.
"For those that weren't here earlier, I'm Jackson Springer," he said, "I did a gap year working at my dad's company, Springer Software, and am studying business management." Jackson was leaning back in his chair, legs man-spreading while wearing grey sweat shorts. On top he wore a deeply unbuttoned black summer shirt with that revealed much of his chest which was toned and tanned, an image Jia had fantasized a few times of. Though he talked more Jia's mind was focus on the bulge apparent in the shorts, an similar image in her mind from the summer. Jia felt an urge start to emerge but dismissed it and listened. Jackson finished saying, "I'm 19 so if you need some booze just let me know I'll get you some for a fee."
