"Well Mr Hawkins, I believe you're on the right track forward."
A woman with dark hair sat at her wooden desk, behind her on the office wall had a stretching banner with the words 'Miss Koriagis'. This was the office of the guidance careers councillor for our High School, she was a woman in her mid-thirties who gave out advice and offered assistance to us as we prepared to enter the next chapter of our lives.
Personally, I appreciated her guidance.
It was nice to have someone at the school who genuinely cared about our future, wanting us to have success outside of school, finding the right college or career.
"I appreciate your help Miss," I responded with a smile on my face.
"That's just my job," she replied, "But before you go, I did have one piece of advice."
I was already out of my seat when she said that, I nodded, waiting for her to continue.
"I've noticed you've been spending a lot of time with a certain few girls..." she said, trying to be careful with the way she was bringing this to my attention, "The last thing I want to do is tell you how to live your personal life, but I just want to add caution... your grades have slipped lately, nothing to be concerned about... but for such an intelligent bright young man, it's important you still stay focused, does that make sense?"
I nodded, it was a polite way of saying 'Don't think with your cock, think with your brain.'
"Good. I'll let you head off, thank you Mr Hawkins."
------
Miss Koriagis's warning was fair, but I'm also an 18 year-old horny teenage boy that was desperate for that female attention that I had been receiving lately.
Since our group trip to Australia, a few things had changed... First, we were back at school, our last semester of our senior year, which meant more interviews with the careers councillor about our futures. Despite my own opinions, it was something very few enjoyed doing, to be fair... who actually knows exactly what they want to do for the rest of their lives after High School's finished.
Secondly, my relationship with Rose was stronger than ever. Not just because she let me inside her on New Years Eve, but also because of the fact that she picked me over what everyone would consider an extremely handsome toned Australian man.
Fast forward a month later and Rose and I had been hanging out a lot more outside of school. Never at her place but she would drag me out to the mall, I'd follow her around like a little puppy dog and watch her shop. She'd drop in at my house at unexpected times. Rose has even helped herself to a dinner or two at my house, after my parents asked if she wanted some of course. And then there's been a couple of experiences in my bedroom... that have been unreal of course.
I've felt as if Rose has been like a guiding teacher when it comes to sex. She's the expert and I'm the novice.
Besides her, I hadn't had any more sexual encounters with the other girls. Tayla was still acting like our little cheating fling never happened. Katie and Annie had supposedly limited their 'boy time' to finish out the senior year.
Milly however, had jumped from a drunk hook up at a party a few weeks ago, to a fully committing relationship with that very same boy.
His name was Aaron and he was on the football team... what a shocker...
But he was as quiet as anyone I had ever met. When he would join us for lunch, he didn't say a word as Milly talked the entire time. Maybe it was poetic that the two had ended up together.
As usual, we met at the same table for lunch, after most of us had completed our interviews about college and our future plans.
"So how was everyone's meeting with Koriagis the whore," Milly said as she plonked herself down at the end of the table with her new boyfriend Aaron taking the final seat next to her, "Because she is one piece of work."
"I don't mind her, she's honest and it actually feels like she gives a shit about us," Katie replied, sitting besides me.
I agreed with her as Rose laughed, "It's all a big joke anyway, they're all paid to pretend to care, none of them actually do."
I disagreed with that but I stayed out of it, not having the energy to argue about something like this. There was also no way that I would argue with the one girl of the Saturday Night Five that was consistently giving me sexual favours.
"That's not true, they could easily just tick a couple of boxes and send us on our way but Miss Koriagis actually takes the time to get to know us as people. Not just base us off our report cards and grades and then let us go into the real world blind," Katie voiced her opinion, "I feel way better about things after my meeting."
"I don't trust her..." Tayla said, quietly, picking at her food.
"Oh please," Katie sighed.
Having no interest in this conversation, Rose flipped the topic of discussion in a completely opposite direction that caught everyone off guard, "Well I really don't care about this... So anyways, I was watching some porn the other day and..."
A few people laughed, Katie and Annie looked at their friend in shock for what she had just brought up, I gulped and I'm pretty sure Aaron did too.
"Did you just say what I thought you did?" Tayla double checked.
Rose nodded, taking a bite out of her apple so casually, "What? Can't talk about porn at the lunch table?"
"Can we change subjects?" Annie awkwardly said, ready to move on.
"So we can talk more about career councillors? Really?" said Rose.
I was with Rose on this one. Mainly just because I wanted to know more about where this was going.
It turned out that so did others.
"You watch it much?" Tayla asked curiously.
She nodded, "Of course. Come on girls, it isn't just for boys, it's for everyone, you just have to know what you like. Maybe you don't watch as much since you've got a boyfriend Tay, but you're telling me you haven't watched it before?"
"I didn't say that," Tayla replied in an instant, "I just asked if you watched it much... But yeah of course I have before... and maybe I still do now too."
"I'm not going to lie, I do too," Katie put her hand up, Milly besides her seconding that.
Looking around the room, I noticed Annie's reaction, looking down at the table. She never looked awkward, uncomfortable or out of place so I found her response quite interesting.
"Hey gang, what did I miss?" Declan was standing with his blue varsity football jacket in front of the table, trying to work out what had just happened.
"Uh nothing, come on, let's go," Tayla said, getting up, "You can walk me to class."
Once Tayla left, the conversation died down with others leaving the table too. I walked away with Katie just moments after, heading to our locker bay before our final class of the day. It was mainly just general chit-chat, I had come to appreciate how open she was with me compared to most other people at our school. The light-hearted girl was more complex than many understood.
What took everyone's attention was her sizeable rack. Even at school when they were covered, I still couldn't help but stare at the shape of her breasts underneath her black top. I did my best to cover my tracks but I'm sure she was used to this by this stage.
As we left the locker bay, the conversation turned to the future and colleges. After both our meetings, we felt clearer with what we wanted to do. I was still keen on an Information Technology course in a college on the West Coast. For Katie, it turned out she had applied for a nearby college in the same state.
"You're kidding? That's amazing, we'll be only half an hour from each other," I exclaimed, excited to hear that.
Katie smiled, still processing it, maybe a little surprised by my excitement, "I wouldn't cramp your style? What if you find a girlfriend, she wouldn't want me hanging around."
"Come on Katie, that's not going to happen," I replied, "The last thing I'd ever want is a future where we don't speak."
Our eyes met and to sound very cringey, I felt some sort of powerful energy between us. No further words were spoken on the subject as we arrived at the next classroom.

The rest of the afternoon went by quickly for me and before I knew it, I was back at home, jumping straight on my PlayStation to play an online game against strangers from half way around the world. When dinner was up, I didn't even take off my headset as I rushed to finish my food before hurrying back upstairs to keep playing. Once I was hooked on a game, it took a lot to get me to turn it off. By this rate, I would be playing through most of the night.
That was of course until my door opened and there stood the only thing I'd rather do.
"Evening stud," said Rose, the brunette beauty standing in my doorway. She strolled in, shutting the door behind her, "Your mom let me in."
"I didn't know you were going to be coming around tonight," I asked curiously, actually taking my headset off for a moment.
"Ohh had nothing on... thought I would come over and make your night a little better."
She wasn't wearing much, as usual. A white high waist ruffle hem skirt that came up to just below her belly button. It was matched together with a grey drop shoulder crop top with the word 'Brooklyn' written across it in black letters. Her feet were covered by just white socks, obviously taking her shoes off by the front door.
At the time, I was sitting on the carpet in front of my bed, leaning up against it so I could still use my controller while it was charging. I went to get up but as she came over, she stopped me, pressing her hand against my shoulder, "No you don't have to move, keep playing your little video game..."
"You sure?"
"Mhmm," she said, jumping onto my bed, "I'll just watch.
Rose was going to do a little more than just watch, she was going play the tease card. She moved up to the end of the bed, and sat there, with her legs off the mattress, and hanging down over the edge, pressed up against my shoulders. The brunette moved closer so that her skirt was touching the back of my head.
