The Posse

Anybody mentioned in this story, even thinking about doing anything sexual is over the age of 18.
Note: For the most part this was self-edited so expect there will be some mistakes.
Enjoy the adventure!
Yes, I am part of a Posse, and I have been for years. We initially called ourselves the Valley View Verve or V3 for short. We all met in the 3rd and 4th grade when our families moved into a brand-new neighborhood, Valley View. The neighborhood sits a couple miles out of town across the Susquehanna River from downtown, carefully carved out of the surrounding forest and farmland. Eventually we dropped the V3, and we became simply 'The Posse'. By now that is how we were referring to by almost the whole town.
There are currently 3 girls, Ana, Ella, and me, Cary and two guys, Jon and Andy, in our Posse. John and Andy are cousins. Their fathers are brothers and started an engineering firm in town after finishing Grad School. Interestingly their mothers are also sisters. Cousins

is that a thing?
There have been others that were part of the Posse over time. Some moved out of town, some left due to some perceived slight, and some ended up connected with other affinity groups, football players, theatre folks, whatever.
The 5 of us were the founding members and as time went on, I think it became harder for others to fit into the group given how long we had known each other, but we were always welcoming to those that wanted to try. Ana is our unelected leader of the Posse. Over time she just sorta evolved into it. Not that any of the rest of us minded she usually had good ideas that kept us all entertained.
When we were younger her entertainment usually involved doing something outside. Bike riding, sledding in the winter, hiking around the surrounding area. We build a fort about a 1/4 mile behind our neighborhood out of dead trees and building materials we scrounged from our parents houses. It eventually became our clubhouse as we grew out of playing cowboys and Indians.
In a way we evolved into our own affinity group. We were basically 5 kids that did well in school, were involved in some school/external activities but not dedicated to any, we were all reasonably attractive and mostly stayed out of trouble. Ana had played piano, it seemed like her whole life. She filled in playing at church when the primary person was unavailable and helped out at elementary and middle school concerts. Ella ran track and cross country. I think she could have excelled at running if she chose to do so. She had a natural grace to her running style and the determination needed to strive for success. Unfortunately, that wasn't where her heart was and she basically admitted to me that she did it to stay in shape and for the camaraderie Jon played on our HS golf team and had a few D3 offered to play in college. As he put it his golf game was destined to carry him all the way to being the men's champion at our local country club, and that was about it. His main focus like Andy's, was engineering. For his part Andy played defense on our region's Junior A hockey team, he was considering trying to walk on in college but wanted to see how much free time he had when he got there. And me, I had done gymnastics up until I was 16 when a series of injuries sidelined me for a year and at that point it didn't seem to be worth the effort to try and work my way back.
I guess because we all have been friends for so long dating between any of us never really became an issue. We hung out together all the time, but it had always been very platonic. Sure, at times we were all fill in dates for family weddings, or homecoming dances and proms, and the like but that was the extent of it.
Now would probably be a good time to describe 'The Posse'. Ana has Greek/Italian bloodlines from which she derives her classic Mediterranean skin color. She is 5'6" tall with thick brown shoulder length hair, she weighs 135 lbs. or so. Her breasts we a solid B cup and she has a bit of a bubble butt. Ella is a bit taller than Ana is at 5'8" and she has the topical runners' body, tall and lean, with long legs. Her mother is from the West Indies and met her dad when she came to the US as an exchange student in high school. Her skin was almost flawless, and its color was this wonderful shade of light mocha. She weighs about the same as Ana despite being 2 inches taller. She is probably the prettiest of all the girls but at the same time not as curvy as Ana or me. She complains that she is totally flat chested, but I think she really is a full A.
Jon & Andy are interesting in spite of the fact that both their parents are siblings, aside from some facial features, there are almost no physical similarities. Andy took more after his dad's side of the family. He was a big tree of a guy 6'2" and a lean 205 lbs. If any of us had any bullying issues growing up Andy was quick to put an end to them. While I don't believe that he ever got into a real fight in school he had the demeanor of someone that would be happy to oblige if called upon. What most people didn't know was that he was really more like a gentle giant. He had short curly brown hair and piercing green eyes. Jon on the other hand seemed to get most of his traits from his mom's genes. He was 5'11" and about 175 lbs. with sandy blond hair, blue eyes, and not an ounce of fat on him anywhere. He looked more like a California surfer than anything else.
The group text from Ana arrived at 10:30 last night asking us all to meet at the clubhouse Friday afternoon, which also happened to be our last day of high school, right after we got home from school. There was a flurry of follow up texts from the rest of us back to Ana trying to figure out what she had in mind but all we got from her was a "You will see on Friday." Reply. When I talked to her the next day at school she was just as tight lipped. So, I guess we will find out on Friday.
When we arrived at the clubhouse Ana was already there. After a few minutes of general chatter between us Ana spoke up. "I have a proposal that I wanted to share with all of you. I do not want an answer today, but I would like you to think it over for the next week. We can all get back together next Friday when you have a chance to agree to it or not. Please feel free to ask any questions that you might have though. Ok?" We all nodded.
"Ok here is what I would like you all too consider. Come this fall except for Jon and Andy who are headed to the same engineering school in Massachusetts the rest of us are all headed in different direction, so this is probably our last summer as the Posse." Looking around at the others I could see in their faces that we were all wondering where this was headed.
She continued. "While none of us have had a serious relationship in high school I know we have all been on dates and without getting too specific have all had some experience with the opposite sex. However, I don't think any of us can say they have had a lot of experience. I would like to propose that over the course of the summer we work to change that issue. I, for one, do not want to head off to college without having more sexual experience under my belt." Looking around at the others I think it was starting to dawn on us where this was headed.
"So, I would propose that we use this summer to help us all gain more sexual experience in preparation for heading off to college. Look, we all like each other and we certainly trust each other. After all these years of friendship I don't think that there is a risk of any of us reading more into any potential physical activity than is intended. Look, I love all you guys so don't be mad at the suggestion. Everybody is free to say no all I ask is that you give it serious consideration, please." At which point Ana sat down.
"So essentially what you are proposing is we create sort of a mini-Tinder app among the 5 of us.?" asked Ella. "I hadn't really thought of it that way but yes." Replied Ana. "How would it work?" Asked Jon. "Well, I haven't thought through all the details yet, but I was thinking we keep it simple."
"Say your folks are headed out to a party one Saturday night. You might send a text to the rest of us that says something like is anybody interested in hanging out at my house on Saturday night for a couple of hours. I think keeping it generic enough that if by chance someone sees the text it doesn't raise any flags. At least initially I think that first come first served approach would work best. Remember, in all instances 'No' means 'No'. The person that initiated the text can set the parameters of how far they are willing to go and the person responding has two options. They can agree or they can propose something less than the original proposal. That way both parties get a say in what happens."
I decided to jump into the fray at this point. "So, say that Andy posts a request and I accept it. He would then outline his proposal, say he wants sex, I could either agree or propose say a hand job instead. In which case I assume that he can say no. Is that what you are saying?" "Yes, well with one tweak. I think if you counter the proposal he should accept it. Remember this exercise is about us all gaining experience, some of us are naturally going to come along at a slower pace than others do. So back to your Tinder analogy, once an invite has been accepted there is no 'Swiping Right. Make sense?" Replied Ana.
We all nodded in agreement. "OK a couple other things I think I should add. What happens between the two of you during a rendezvous should stay between the two of you. This is not a contest to see who can get laid the fastest or whatever. We don't need to put pressure on others to keep up. As I said earlier, it is OK if we all go at our own pace. And lastly, we should all feel comfortable that this whole thing is meant to be a learning experience for all of us. Ask questions, ask for help, offer your advice on what feels good and what doesn't. Don't be afraid to try things a bit outside your comfort zone. But again, 'No' means 'No' if at any point in time someone starts to feel pressured to do something they don't want to let me know and we can call the whole thing off."
"I know that was a lot to take in and there are probably things that I overlooked but I think it is at least a solid start. Are there any questions?" There were some follow-up questions for clarification mostly but at least from my perspective it seemed like everybody was considering it.
After a brief pause, she continued. "Ok it seems like You have what you need for now. As I said, if you are interested in at least giving it a shot we will meet at my house next Friday at 8:00 pm. My folks are heading up to visit some old friends for the weekend. If you are coming text me next Friday and I will fill you in on what the plan is for that evening. If you are not interested that is fine, we can keep this stuff separate from our normal interactions so it is not like you will be shunned or something." She concluded with a smile.
