"Freshman Orientations" is a silly, tongue-in-cheek fantasy series about sexual curiosity and first time exploration in college, which reimagines freshman year the way you might have wished it had been... For a complete introduction to the characters, please consider reading from chapter 01.
Note: Apologies in advance for the tense change from the first chapter. It was not originally conceived as a series, but after the feedback I received I decided to continue in a manner with greater flexibility, and have also explored different perspectives, as was commonly requested.

A couple days had passed since Sean's encounter with Valeska. Everywhere he went in the dorm, there was a constant buzz surrounding him. Sean knew that they were squarely at the center of freshmen gossip, as was evidenced by constant stares, pointing, giggles, and whispering whenever either of them passed by. He didn't mind it so much, except for the fact that he often had to avoid the lounges due to his new celebrity status.
Sean barely had a chance to fully come to terms with Valeska about what the event meant in terms of their budding relationship, when he realized that he'd have to face the fact that his relationship with Layla had also changed. A few days after the event, he ran into her while crossing the quad. She was laying in the grass up against a tree, reading a book. Sean couldn't help but think about what it must have been like for her to stand there, watching him have sex with Valeska. He could plainly see that it was turning her on, but they hadn't yet talked about what happened.
"Hi Layla!" Sean said cheerfully, taking a seat next to her. She sat up, suddenly, surprised to see him. He took immediate notice of her skimpy jogging shorts, which clung to her round butt, and the faded t-shirt stretched tight across her breasts.
"Sean! How's it goin'?" she said, with a smile, quickly putting down her book.
"Great!"
"I can imagine... I'd still be on a high from the other night if I were you!" she laughed.
Sean chuckled. "Yeah... that was pretty incredible. I still can't believe it happened."
"I know... suddenly I'm jealous. I wish someone would set me up with a hot guy to fuck," she said, sarcastically.
"I'll keep my eyes open," he said, referencing her earlier success at matching him up with Valeska.
"So... what did you think about what went down? Did you and Valeska talk about it?"
"We haven't really had a chance yet, but we will soon, I'm sure. We... uh... certainly both enjoyed ourselves."
"Ha! Yeah..." she said, with a wistful look in her eyes.
"Anyway, what did the students think?"
"Oh! They had lots of questions. Mostly asking about other positions to try, toys in the bedroom, and so forth." She groaned. "And of course someone asked if there were any homework assignments."
"That reminds me. I wanted to thank you. You know, for managing the students when they got a little rowdy with questions like that."
Layla smirked. "No problem. I knew I was asking a lot of you both, so the most I could do is protect you from their dirty little minds," she said, sarcastically.
They both started laughing. Sean caught Layla gazing at him with a smile. She quickly realized what she was doing and looked away.
"So... um. What did you think about it?" Sean said, suddenly feeling awkward.
"Me?"
"Yeah."
"It was... interesting..." Layla burst into a nervous laugh.
"Interesting how?"
"I dunno. I mean... first it was surprising to see you naked, after we've been friends for a year." She started to pick at the grass. "You're not exactly... uh... difficult to look at..." She smirked. "It wasn't easy narrating what was going on, watching you two. I mean- it was obviously pretty hot."
Sean grinned. "Oh? Were you jealous?" he joked.
"... Maybe," she said, smiling toward the ground.
Sean's heart started pounding. He wondered- were they really flirting? After all this time?
He continued, "I was thinking... it was kinda like acting out a fantasy I've had. I didn't even recognize it that way, probably because I was so scared at first. Fantasies just live in your head, you don't really expect them to come true; to have to face them in real life. It was scary, but in the end it was really awesome!"
She looked up at him and smiled. "Yeah, I can imagine. You're lucky!"
"Well you're the one that set it up, so I have you to thank. Anyway, if you made a fantasy happen for me, I'm sure you could conquer one of your own."
"Ha! I dunno..." She shrugged.
"Why? What's your fantasy? It's not like I'm gonna go around telling everyone," he said.
"I know. Well..." she started, with an embarrassed smile. "I kinda like shower sex. I think about that... a lot." She laughed nervously.
"That sounds like fun!" Sean chuckled.
She grinned. "Basically all I did freshman year, when we had communal showers, is imagine what would happen if they were co-ed."
"Well, you're an RA on a freshman floor. You could bring a guy in there any time you want," Sean joked.
A wide grin formed on her face. "Right, like I'm going to just waltz in there with some random guy and start fucking him with a bunch of freshman girls around."
"That sounds like a nice fantasy to me!"
They both laughed. "True..." she admitted with a smirk. For a few moments there was awkward silence.
"After what Valeska and I did the other night, I'm not sure it would phase them," Sean replied with a shrug, testing the waters with a more serious tone.
"Ha. Maybe so," she sighed. "If only I had a boyfriend."
