This is a story loosely based on my experiences in college. Loose enough that this could be called fiction. Names and dates have been changed. All characters mentioned in sexual references are 18 years of age or older. I hope you love my characters. Enjoy!

Tuesday (Fall Break)
Ash woke up, feeling relaxed, albeit hungover. She turned over and saw Monica's neat empty bed. It was 11:30 and both she and Monica were supposed to be at the DePauw basketball stadium in an hour.
Ash didn't have a car, having ridden down to Cloverdale with Monica, and she was beginning to get concerned as it grew the closer it got to game time. She was finally ready to leave with twenty minutes until 12:30, but still no sign of Monica and she wasn't answering the phone.
Ash grabbed her camera and headed to Cheyenne's room, knocked and received no answer. Growing frustrated and nervous Ash mulled around the lobby and was just getting ready to call Cheyenne when she spotted Shirley hustling down the hall.
She was back in her USI sports jacket and was carrying her sports bag. Her face was flushed red and she was combing her hair to the side as she walked briskly toward the door.
"Shirley!" Ash called out. Shirley was so distracted she hadn't even noticed Ash in the lobby. She looked shocked to see Ash. "Can I ride with you?"
"Is Monica not back?"
"She's not answering her phone."
"Ugglhh!" Shirley groaned.
"How did you get back?" Ash asked.
"I... uh, caught a ride back with Levon," she said sheepishly. "Um c'mon, you can ride with me."
Ash was concerned about Monica but Shirley assured Ash that Monica could take care of herself.
"There you are," Cheyenne exhaled when she saw Ash and Shirley rushing into the gym. "What're you-? Where's Monica?"
"We, I --" Ash began.
"She's running late," Shirley cut in.
"Wow, of all the days," Cheyenne grumbled as Shirley went over to join the team's training staff.
The teams were warming up and Ash could tell Cheyenne was frustrated. Cheyenne was due up in the booth, but was concerned about her primary responsibility which was getting the photographs for the team.
Just then Ash spotted Monica rushing in.
"Sorry, sorry Soooo sorry I'm late," Monica said, hustling over.
"Doesn't matter," Cheyenne said, looking up at the countdown clock. "Just get ready. Same gameplan as last time."
Cheyenne gathered her paperwork as the girls pulled out their cameras. Ash got ready to take her position.
"Oh no!" Monica moaned.
"What is it?" Ash asked as Cheyenne came over.
"My... fucking battery's dead."
"You gotta be shittin' me, Monica," Cheyenne growled.
"I'm sorry," Monica said, again. "Ash, do you have an extra?"
"Um... My other battery's on the charger in the room."
"Shit!" Monica said.
"We don't have time for this," Cheyenne said, as the game announcer began introducing the anthem singers. "Ash, you're gonna have to take game pics."
"I can... go grab her battery," Monica said.
"Whatever," Cheyenne said. "Do what you gotta do. I'm headed up."
With that, Cheyenne strolled off with her papers and Ash got into position as Monica rushed out of the gym. Ash felt bad for Monica but was thrilled to be taking photos of the championship round.
Once the game started, Ash strutted up and down the sideline with her camera around her neck, snapping as many photos as she could. The game was competitive and CJ, USI's star player, was keeping the team close.
For Ash, it felt surreal to see CJ in this professional setting, as she couldn't stop thinking about his half-naked frame smoking weed at a party less than twenty-four hours ago.
Ash did a slight double-take when she spotted a bespeckled white girl sitting a few rows behind the USI bench. Her big boobs jiggled under her sweater as she politely applauded the Eagle basketball team. Ash's stomach clenched, as she remembered watching that same girl, with CJ's giant cock down her throat.
At one point, the freshman Jabari scored a tough layup and fell to the floor at Ash's feet. She glanced down toward his midsection and, with a jolt to her stomach, remembered his large dick with Monica's small hands jerking him off.
By halftime, USI held a slight lead and Monica still hadn't shown up. Ash was filling up her camera with fantastic shots. By the fourth quarter, USI was stomping Indiana State and the starters were celebrating on the sidelines.
It was during a lull point when Ash saw Monica rushing back in. With the game wrapping up and out of reach Monica only managed a few pics before time expired. When the Eagle team gathered for trophy pics, Ash was thrilled to be in the center taking a championship photo. That was until Monica tried muscling her out of the way so she could snap the money shot.
Ash, who got the photo she wanted, wasn't worried. Cheyenne had made it perfectly clear how disappointed she was in the older student and Ash had plenty of fantastic pictures from the game.
While on the game floor taking pictures of the players and their celebrating families, Ash was able to overhear chatter of a party later that night. Indeed, through their jubilation, many of the players made it clear they hoped to see both Ash and Monica there.
At one point Ash even got to pose with the championship trophy. After a few minutes, Cheyenne came down from the radio booth.
"Good job girls," Cheyenne said. Ash could tell her voice had grown slightly hoarse. "There's a little get-together at the hotel with the staff. Drinks and snacks and stuff."
"Oh cool," Ash said.
"Yeah, you two head back and I'll see ya there."
The girls bundled up and headed to Monica's car.
"Well that was a shitshow," Monica grumbled as she sped off.
"What happened to you? Where were you at?"
"I got....ugh," Monica sighed. "A little too wild last night."
'Yeah no shit, bitch,'
Ash thought.
"They tried to get me up... but I couldn't move," Monica said, shaking her head. "How do they get up so early... and then play a basketball game?"
Ash assumed she meant the basketball team and held her tongue. She decided to change the subject.
"So who's gonna be at this hotel thing?" Ash asked.
"Who cares? I'm not going."
"Huh? Why not?"
"Didn't you hear the guys? Championship party... on DePauw's campus! We've got to go."
'
Didn't this girl learn her lesson last night?'
Ash thought.
She was not thrilled at the prospect and was all too happy to split away from Monica once at the hotel. The celebration at the hotel was full of coaching staff, trainers, reporters and a few of the younger players in their championship t-shirts. The teachers and students were enjoying pizza and soda, but Ash had decided to take some pics of the celebratory smiles and hadn't eaten much.
By the time Cheyenne arrived, most of the food had gone. Ash was talking to some of the athletic trainers when she saw Cheyenne through the crowd, her face beaming at Ash. She fought through and surprised Ash by bending down and pulling her in for a hug.
"I got offered a job!" Cheyenne said, breathlessly after releasing Ash.
