St Clare's Ladies College in the rolling English Cotswold Hills was all but cut -off by the deep snows of 1958. A small group of senior girls had stayed over the December holidays in order to study for their scholarship examinations.
Jilly and Bunty were two such students. They were clever girls who had been inseparable since first meeting over ten years previously. Now in their eighteenth year they looked forward to academic success.
On Christmas Eve their house tutor Miss Joylove encouraged the girls to take a break from their studies and go for a walk in the bright afternoon sunshine. On their return route through the snowy fields a sudden winter storm whipped up and the girls returned to school cold and wet despite their sensible clothing.
Miss Joylove saw them return from her apartment above the student sleeping quarters and she met them as they reached their shared study room.
" Girls, get out of those wet things at once before you get pneumonia! Make yourselves some hot tea and toast and get warmed up."
Jilly and Bunty lit the gas fire in their small gothic hideaway and set the kettle off to make tea. They quickly peeled off their wet clothes including their long heavy wool winter uniform skirts. Soon they were warming their wet skin in front of the fire just wearing their regulation white cotton bras and navy stockings held up by the strong suspender belts sealed in by their large thick cotton navy knickers. The girls were not self conscious about their state of undress as they had grown up together like sisters.
As darkness fell the two chums sipped their tea in the warm glow of the fire,
relaxing side-by-side on the little sofa. Familiarity enabled them to sit in quiet contemplation. Jilly's mind wandered as she stretched out her long shapely legs which casually rubbed against her friend's. The thick nylon of her stockings squeaking against that of her companion. Bunty became aware of this and she glanced over and regarded the shapeliness of her friend's legs. Her eyes wandered up to the curves of her hip which were not disguised by the tight fitting school knickers and then further up to the gentle swell of her young bosom.
"Gosh, you are beautiful Jilly!" she blurted out.
Jilly blushed. "What was that?"
Confused, Bunty replied, "I was admiring you,"
Now, Bunty blushed.
Smiling, Jilly replied, " that's the sweetest thing for my oldest, bestest friend to say." She leaned across and kissed her friend on the cheek.
What happened next took them both by surprise. Bunty leaned to reciprocate but somehow found herself placing a kiss on Jilly's warm moist lips. Neither girl wanted to part and as each held the other they proceeded to enjoy the sensation of their first kiss. Drinking in the other's warmth and holding them selves closer together. Bunty moved around so that she was kneeling on the sofa astride her friend and gazing into her shining eyes moved forward for a deeper kiss, their small firm breasts touching through their bras. They moaned with increasing pleasure until suddenly they were startled by a knock on their study door.
" Can I come in girls?" It was Miss Joylove.
The girls quickly moved to sit apart again. "Yes", said Bunty. her hair somewhat tousled, "come in Miss."
"My, my, you girls look a bit of a mess. At least you are warm and dry now. I hope remembered the headmistress has invited us all to Christmas Eve supper in her rooms tonight at six thirty. As a special treat you can wear your own clothes for the next two days instead of your uniform. After supper it's sing carols in the Chapel before lights out. See you then." The door closed with a squeak and a click.
"Great!" said Bunty excitedly, " we can wear our new frocks tonight."
