Partially inspired by my own time at university, this is the story of two friends who embark on a series of increasingly daring adventures. Any comments or feedback are much appreciated, hope you enjoy!

Chapter Four - Serena's turn
'Basically,' said Jess, absolutely delighted, 'she's going to have to streak the library!'
Jericho turned and chuckled at the blushing Serena, who squealed in embarrassment. 'Oh really? So is that one of the tasks?'
'God, I'm actually blushing. No I will not be streaking the library, but it's almost as bad,' Serena pushed her phone over to him. 'Look, you can take a picture there and you get ten points if you do it naked.'
Jericho studied the description. 'Yeah but you still get five if you're in your underwear, why not do that?'
'Jerry we have no time! I have to be ready by tomorrow evening ok, and even if I get ten for that then I still have to find another twenty points.'
'Alright then, what are the other big hitters?'
This time it was Jessica who leant over and took charge. 'So there's a bunch where she's just being a brat and refusing to do them,' Serena snorted in indignation. 'See here, go into a random lecture and get on a desk to sing a song, points for how long a performance you give, that would be easy to do.'
'No I'd actually die of shame,' Serena sighed. 'And I can't sing for shit.'
Jessica continued to criticise. 'Won't do the one where you have to film yourself eating six raw eggs...'
'I'm vegan!'
'Won't ask a random stranger to motorboat her...'
'What if they said yes?'
'And so,' Jessica concluded, 'We have to resort to the naughty ones. Now admittedly most of these are quite extreme...'
'No kidding, look at this nonsense. Submit a sex tape with a flatmate, thirty points straight away. But who the hell is going to do that?'
I know someone who might give it a go, Jericho thought wistfully.
'But there are two other ten pointers which would mean we could hit the target in time for tomorrow. So the first is hilarious...'

'Hey I got your text, what's up?' Holly bounded up to Jericho and clasped his arm tightly. The two of them hugged and hurried to catch up Serena and Holly who were striding off ahead.
'You remember Serena's scavenger hunt?'
'Oh yeah, how's it going?'
'She's just about to start.' Jericho quickly explained the situation to Holly, who giggled with excitement. The first task that Serena was going to try was to go and dance in the water fountain that was in the pond outside the humanities building. Points were awarded based on your state of undress, five for fully dressed, seven for a white t shirt with underwear underneath, and ten for just the top.
'Oh so that's why she's wrapped up in that big jumper,' laughed Holly. 'Poor thing must be chilly, she has my sympathies.'
A few minutes later and the quartet arrived at the water's edge. It was only midday and the campus was alive and busy, students flowing past them in their droves. A couple of geese watched them suspiciously as Serena nervously turned to face them. 'Oh hi Holls, glad you got invited to enjoy the show.'
'Wouldn't miss it for the world. I can't believe you're about to do this girl!'
'Man I don't think I can...'
Jessica held her hand out. 'Come on, the quicker we get this over with, the quicker you'll be back home.'
'Come on Serena you got this.' Holly chorused, and Jericho also offered his words of encouragement.
'Jesus Christ.' Serena looked about nervously then snapped into action. 'Jay your phone has the best camera so you're filming, Jess you've got the towel for after right? Ok. Ok, let's go.' The rugby player slipped off her sliders, not having bothered with socks, then quickly pulled off her jogging bottoms, handing them to Jessica. 'Guys even the grass is damp, this is so gross.' Next she crossed her arms and ripped off her jumper, leaving her standing there in a baggy white t shirt that she had borrowed from Jericho. You could already see her nipples poking through the fabric and the hem was only just long enough to cover her down below. Serena turned and skipped into the shallows, shrieking as her toes dipped below the surface. 'It's fucking freezing!' As the others laughed and cheered behind her she began to wade forward, the weeds and lily pads only making it up to her knees before the muddy surface levelled out.
'Get in there, get wet!' Jessica hollered, as Jericho focused on recording his friend's escapade.
Serena approached the large fountain which was shooting a jet of water into the air, splattering down in a circular arc around it. Grimacing she stepped forward and let the first spurt of water rain down onto her, calling out again in astonishment at the shock of the cold. Holly watched on, slightly jealous, as she spun around to let herself become completely drenched, tossing her hair and twirling her body about as she danced around the pond. People had stopped to watch her performance, and some cheered appreciatively at her bravery. Serena decided she had done enough to pass the challenge, and looked down to see her t shirt was entirely soaked, slightly see through and plastered to her skin. Her boobs, belly and thighs were clearly displayed, pressed tightly against her top, and she bashfully held the front away from her as she nipped back to her friends.
'Jess, towel, Jericho, stop looking!' She quickly dried off her hair, then flinched as she had to pull her jumper over her sodden shirt.
'Don't do that, your jumper will get wet too! Just take off the t shirt.' Both Serena and Jessica turned to look at Holly as if she were crazy, then Serena pulled on her bottoms and the group quickly deserted the scene, leaving their onlookers behind.

Half an hour later and she had warmed up with a quick shower, then re-joined the others in the kitchen. They were all hunched around Jericho watching the video, and Serena gasped when she saw how see through her top had really become. 'Oh my god guys look away!' She grabbed the phone off them, despite their complaints. 'Alright Jerry I'm sending this to myself ok, then deleting it.'
'Spoil sport.'
'So Serena,' Holly asked, 'It will be evening soon and you've still got twenty more points to make up right? So, what's next on the agenda?'
'Ah.' Serena and Jessica exchanged a knowing look. 'Well the next one is a bit awkward. I've got the library one for later but there is one more I need to do first.' She pulled up the list of tasks again and passed the phone to Holly, who read it and gasped. Then all three girls slowly turned to look at Jericho.
'What?'
Holly slid over the phone and Jericho looked down. 'Take a picture with a member of the opposite sex. For guys you get five points if the girl lets you kiss her, seven if she flashes her butt, and ten if she lets you touch her boobs. For the girls you get five points if you kiss the guy, seven if he flashes his butt, and ten if he lets you hold his dick... Seriously Serena?'
Serena was blushing again. 'Jerry I know, I don't want to do this believe me, but if we do this then I only need to do one more task afterwards. And I'd ask one of the other guys but I trust you the most, it might be awkward but you won't be a creep about it. Please? Would you?'
'Man I don't know, this is kind of ridiculous...'
'It would be anonymous at least.' Jessica chirped in, watching Jericho squirm. Holly was staying very quiet, and he wondered what she thought about this. The others didn't know about the two of them yet, so he couldn't really say why doing this with Serena would be even more inappropriate than it already was.
'Jerry I will buy you drinks on the next night out. And do your next bin rota. Come on, that's a great deal.' Jericho rolled his eyes and was just about to refuse outright when Holly interrupted.
'Come on Jay, don't be a wimp. Help a girl out why don't you.' Well, he hadn't been expecting that. She was looking at him with an entirely expressionless face, and he wasn't sure if this was a test of some kind.
'Please Jay, please?'
Sigh. 'Ok fine, I'll do it, but we're never speaking of this again after. And it better be a lot of drinks.'
Serena clapped and Jessica laughed. 'You angel! Guys I think we might actually be able to pull this whole thing off, I thought it was all over before now. Ok, we can use my room?' Once again the four of them filed off into the corridor.
'Do the other two really need to see this?' Jericho was becoming genuinely nervous, he wasn't the sort who enjoyed being on display, and he was worried about Jessica and Serena's reactions.
'No that's true,' Serena let them in and ushered Jericho into the middle of the carpet, 'This could be a selfie.'
'What, that's not fair.' Jessica bounced down onto the bed, and Holly joined her. 'I want to see.'
'Jess!' Jericho protested.
'What, like you wouldn't want to see if it was the other way round.'
'Right come on Jerry. Let's be having you.' Serena nodded down at his jeans. 'Chop chop.'
