This is my first time I publish something here. My first language isn't English. I translated through 'Google Translate'. All comments are welcome.
This is the first chapter in hopefully a long, not boring, story.
Everyone is above eighteen.

Laura looked around quietly. The dorm was bigger than she had imagined. On one side of the room was her desk surrounded by bookcases. She couldn't have left her books behind. Her parents said she wouldn't have time to read. Yet she had insisted on moving all her reading books. Her bed was on the other side of the room, close to the door. Behind her bed was a small wardrobe. At the window, which took up almost the entire wall, was the hammock where she always lay down to get lost in the fantasy worlds that they or others had created. She had long been happy that the bottom half of the window had been covered with foil so that light came in, but no one could see inside. She had placed a soft carpet in the center of the room. The laptop on her desk played music as she sat cross-legged in the middle of the room.
The building itself was well insulated. You could hardly hear a sound from the rest of the building. Some students had renovated it themselves a few years ago. They now rent the rooms at reasonable prices. Laura and another girl were the only two new students this year. The rest had been here longer. Twelve rooms, three bathrooms, two separate toilets, a modern and luxurious kitchen, a spacious living room and a fantastic garden with swimming pool. Twelve students live here together every year. Laura had helped ensure that this year women were in the majority, four boys against eight girls. She had only seen one of the boys. He had helped get everything in. Some of the girls had just been busy in the kitchen preparing dinner. While it was still a holiday, they would cook for themselves. Once classes started, someone would come to cook and keep the shared areas clean.
Here she was. She would stay in this room for years to come. After much insistence, Laura had given in to her father. Two hours by public transport was too long. In total she would be on the road for four hours a day. Moving into a room would have been the more logical choice. Of course, she would go home every now and then. Over the past few months, she had had to prove that she was mature and responsible enough to move into a student room. It wasn't that her parents didn't trust her. It was the others who could have a less good influence on her.
But that hadn't been difficult for her. She was an example, never did anything wrong. Laura knew better than to waste her time making mischief. Of course she had something adventurous in her. Her best friend in high school had made her push her boundaries several times. Shortly after the graduation ceremony, the two of them went to celebrate. Their parents had given them money to give them a fun time after their hard work. First, they went to a restaurant. Afterwards they went for a drink in a cocktail bar.
Laura closed her eyes and relived the moment. She could still remember her friend taking her by the hand and pulling her toward the park on their route. Laura protested. It had long since gotten dark and the park was not that well-lit now. Jana had managed to convince her to go anyway.
Laura and Jana walked through the park. Jana was energetic and revolved around Laura and never stopped talking. It had long been clear to Laura that Jana was nervous, but she did have a goal. Everything became clear when they arrived at the swimming pond in the middle of the park.
"Are we going swimming?"
"Now?"
"Yes, it is still so warm outside. And I want to get in the water."
"But we don't have our bathing suits."
"Never heard of skinny dipping?"
Jana had already taken off her shoes and socks. Next was her sweater and jeans. Laura was surprised to see Jana strip down to her underwear. For a moment she thought that it would stop there and that she would jump into the water. But soon Jana had also unfastened her bra and dropped it on the floor. Her underwear soon followed. Jana walked stark naked to the water. She let out a small scream when her feet hit the cold water.
"It's colder than expected, but it's wonderful. Are you coming too?"
"Don't know."
Laura looked around anxiously. Jana's clothes were thrown here and there on the floor. She listened for movement somewhere. The only sound came from the wind rustling the leaves on the trees.
"Come on. You can do this. There's no one around. Most students are still partying and the last people to walk their dogs have already been home for a long time."
"What if someone comes?"
"Then we'll stay in the water until they go away."
"I don't know."
"Come on. You've been naked at my house before."
"That was different."
"No one sees you here. And it's the last time we can do something like this. After this we will both be at different universities and we will hardly have time to meet up."
"I know."
"Come on, one last adventure. For me."
With a sigh, Laura gave in. First, she took off her sandals. Unlike her friend, she was wearing a summer dress. One by one she slid the straps of her dress off her shoulders. Slowly the dress started to fall. Laura had always hated bras. Her dress slid past her breasts. The caress made her feel extra naked. Laura looked down at her feet. There was her dress. She stepped forward, bent down and picked it up. For a moment she clutched the garment against her. She only took off her underwear once she had placed her shoes under a park bench and her dress over it. She inhaled, closed her eyes, and removed the last piece of clothing in one fluid motion.
