I'd been sexually very inexperienced before I went to University, but that first week -- and one night in particular -- changed my entire life. Something clicked in my brain that changed me forever, and I want to recall that night and how it happened...
I shared a fourth-floor flat in a University halls of residence with three other girls. We'd introduced ourselves via Facebook in the weeks leading up to the start of the term, so by the time the first day rolled around and we had all moved in it was easy for us all to get along. The flat was basic; a front door opening onto a long corridor, with the living area facing the kitchen and two en-suite bedrooms down each side. The living area had two sofas and a small table with four chairs around it, whilst the kitchen had a long, rectangular, table running down its middle and six chairs fitting around it. It wasn't much, but we had decided from day one to make it home and I was loving it already.
I'd decided to throw myself into University life, so had tentatively signed up for a few societies and had joined the campus gym with Rose, a 20-year old American exchange student who was one of the girls in my flat. Rose was what I pictured to be a "typical American girl", standing at a diminutive 5ft 2ins, she had natural blonde hair, perfect teeth (shown off with a ready smile) a deep tan and a sporty physique. She had told me that back home she "ran track" (which I think mean athletics, in my language!) and had a boyfriend that she'd grown up with through high school and who was already missing her terribly. She had also worked for Abercrombie & Fitch in the summer months leading up to coming to England, which even I understood to be a general appreciation of her looks and physique!
As well as joining the gym and looking for activities to get involved in, I also threw myself into the nightlife that comes with being a first-year student, which was hectic to say the least! As a flat we had attended each of the "welcome" events during week one and thrown ourselves into the games and themes with absolute abandon -- it had been amazing! I had never been (nor am I now) a big drinker, but I held my own with everyone else and really felt part of the University scene, which was something that had worried me before leaving home.
The first Friday night was an event at our Student Union bar and the theme was "School Days", so the four of us had been into town to shop for outfits and spent the evening getting ourselves looking, in hindsight, like a group of absolute sluts! But then, we wouldn't be the only ones...and you're only young once!
We'd all gone off to our respective rooms to get showered and groomed, agreeing to meet in the living area for pre-drinks when we were ready. What a sight the four of us were -- I've still got the pictures now, though they're not for sharing!! As the drinks flowed, I was struck down by an horrific migraine, which I suffer with from time-to-time, and the other girls had to put me to bed. I vaguely remember being distraught at not being able to go out with them, but I was soon in a deep sleep that lasted hours, until I woke up in pitch darkness desperately needing a drink.
I wasn't sure how I would react to the lights, so I fumbled around my room and got stripped out of my schoolgirl uniform and down to just my tiny thong, then threw on a cotton vest top that was on my bed for sleeping in and stumbled down to the kitchen. I poured a pint of water out and sat in the chair right by the window that faced into our shared courtyard, where I could hear and see students in various stages of their night out. The clock on the oven showed me that it was only midnight, so the girls wouldn't be home for hours yet. I sat back in the chair with my back against the window and stared through the open kitchen and living room doors, contemplating going and curling up on the sofa for a while when I suddenly heard banging sounds and muffled voices from the landing of the building...
The noises stopped just as quickly as they had started, so I settled back and assumed it had come from the occupants of one of the other flats on our floor....until there was a huge "BANG" as bodies crashed into and then through our front door! The door flew open, and Rose reversed through it, joined at the lips to a guy who must have stood nearly a foot taller than her, dressed in jeans and a white shirt and a tie carelessly draped around his neck. Rose was clinging onto this guy's neck, and he had her by both hips as they slammed the door shut ("no thought for her stricken friend", I remember thinking!) and he then spun Rose around to press her up against it. I can clearly recall the exact thoughts that entered my head at that moment:
-I should cough. Or say something. Shouldn't I? I need to tell them I'm there
-Oh, Rose -- your boyfriend sounds so sweet and you really miss him!
-Mmm....this is quite hot. They'll be gone into her room in a moment, so I'll be safe then. But I could just listen to them for a bit?
-OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD! That's Jonny!! Jonny from the gym, Jonny! I WANTED TO FUCK JONNY!!!
-Wow. They're so hot together
