Chapter One
As a responsible member of the upper sixth Angie didn't have to wear a uniform. She had, however, settled on a sort of uniform of her own. Consisting of Doc's, jeans and a sweatshirt or a T, it wasn't a million miles away from the way she dressed out of school.
Face it: with a build like hers she wasn't going to wear anything girly, was she? A little over six feet tall and weighing in at thirteen stone-odd, Angie wasn't really cut out for dresses and skirts. There wasn't an ounce of fat on her body but there weren't many feminine bumps and curves either. Her legs were strong, mannish and definitely not made to be publically exhibited.
For her dresses and skirts were right out.
Going by the book, sixth formers weren't supposed to wear jeans but a girl could get away with smart ones. Angie ensured that hers were always pristine, never slashed, patched or frayed and not in the least tight-fitting. And she always got away with it.
Today, the most important Friday in living memory, she'd varied her outfit in two ways. Although it was late January and she'd normally be wearing a sweat, she'd gone for a white T. And more significantly, for the first time in years and years, she wasn't wearing a bra.
Tight white T and no bra . . . whatever had possessed her!
Tight T or not, the feeling of freedom was nothing short of exhilarating. Her body was unshapely and masculine but her breasts were definitely redeeming features. They were large round and, unfettered as they now were, they had a life of their own. She felt like those brave bra-burning sisters of the 60s must have felt: daring, defiant and above all, liberated.
Oh yes, that liberation: the gentle bouncing at even the slightest movement; the sensation when she suddenly turned and her tits kept going a moment before springing back and jiggling up and down.
And better still, the thin fabric of her T-shirt constantly rubbing against her nipples.
Make that rubbing against her rock-hard nipples . . .
Angie's journey in to school passed uneventfully. There again, she was wearing a jacket which more or less held everything in place. It wasn't until she'd got to the sixth form centre and ditched the coat that folk started to take notice.
Suzanne and Liz commented first. They were the school's prominent lesbian pairing and were almost inseparable. Even at quarter past eight in the morning they were holding hands in the cloakroom.
Holding hands and, in Suzanne's case, gaping open-mouthed.
'Blimey Ange,' she said, 'what's with you?'
Angie shrugged, inadvertently setting her chest in motion, giving Suzanne visible palpitations.
'Hands off, you,' said Liz, dragging her girlfriend away.
Not sure who exactly Liz had been talking to, Angie made her way into the common room. And, while her entry wasn't quite like a gunslinger walking into a saloon, there were similarities.
(If they'd had a piano player he would have stopped playing for sure!)
Conscious of several sets of eyes on her, she went to the coffee bar and bought a cup.
Men, she thought dismissively. They have no use for a girl in eighteen years and then, when she has a tiny nip erection, what are they all suddenly like!
Personally, Angie had no use for men anymore. She'd never really been interested but had tried one to make sure she wasn't missing out. After that disastrous experiment she was convinced she wasn't missing anything at all. As she'd suspected all along, girls were much more fun.
What a pity Suzanne was already committed!
And how could she be thinking of Suzanne with the night she had ahead of her!!
Sipping her hot drink Angie noticed that the sixth former currently on coffee bar duty (a guy known to pupils and staff alike as "Treacle") was trying to look down the top of her T. How pathetic was that! It wasn't low-cut and he'd never even spared her a glance before.
'Hey,' she said, 'keep your eyes to yourself.'
'I can't.' Treacle replied with a grin. 'I'm seeing you in a whole new light.'
'You'll be seeing me in the casualty ward if you don't watch out.'
Angie drained her cup and set of for Registration, arriving there miles ahead of anyone else. Her form room was a sixth form classroom and therefore small. Taking the backmost seat to the left she let out a sigh.
Unbelievable! Me an object of male lust!
Sandra arrived while Angie was still laughing at the mysterious workings of the world.
'Angie Baby,' she crooned, 'just look at you! Are you hot or what!'
"Angie Baby" struck a chord. Only one person had ever used that before; one very significant person.
In fact she'd been a same-sex lover sort of a person.
Not that Angie was in a position to name names. Not even in confidence to the loveliest person she'd ever met.
Tall, black and beautiful beyond belief, Sandra was in Angie's opinion the best-looking girl in school. Come to that she was the best looking girl in town and very possibly the best-looking girl in Europe. It was mystifying why she wasn't widely classed as "popular", but there again maybe she was too nice to be "popular".
Maybe she wasn't nearly bitchy enough.
'Hi yourself,' Angie replied. Then, to her own astonishment, she added: 'You always look hot.'
'Why thank you, kind lady.' Sandra had West Indian roots but, like two generations of her ancestors, she'd been born in England. The words, accents and inflections she used were pure East Midlands.
There was still a lot of husky promise in her, though. Her low, tuneful voice ran her appearance close for sexiness. Smitten with another as she was, Angie couldn't help wondering what it would be like to have Sandra whispering sweet nothings into her ear . . . very naughty, very exciting sweet nothings.
No woman should sound so good.
Nonsense: scrap that . . . every woman should sound so good!
'I'm wondering, duck,' Sandra went on, 'was it last night or is it tonight?'
'What do you mean?'
'I'm talking about luck, duck. It either happened last night or it's happening tonight. Never mind your hard nips; you are a girl with gladness in her heart. Lady Luck is on your side, that's plain to see.'
Angie glanced down. Sure enough her nipples were poking out of her T . . . again.
'It's the cold,' she said.
