Author's Note
Risk Versus Reward is a prequel to Girl Friday and focuses on the story of Karin, the 'H.R. Lady' who provided Charlotte's rather unique interview experience when she was hired. You do not need to read Girl Friday to understand what's going on in Risk Versus Reward. But if you enjoy this story, Girl Friday should most definitely be on your reading list.
Karin's previous day's adventures were spent in The Academy's gardens with a game of hide and seek, and a see who comes first demonstration with Mistress Nguyen. It was after these antics that Karin affirmed her decision that Lesbian Hogwarts as she called it, was indeed the place for her. Though others like Jordan and Shauna were far more tempted by the generous scholarship offering and decided to depart for a more traditional education. In this chapter we catch up with her the next morning.
I hope you enjoy Karin's continuing story.

Chapter 7: Morning Routine
Last night's sleeping arrangements were the same as always for Desi and me, with the harem-style one-bed-to-rule-them-all that we shared with the other girls. Well, all of the girls except those who had decided to go with the part-time track. They were occupying the bunk beds next door as directed by the flat-panel monitors outside. The animations were campy as always with a lab coat-clad girl shuffling off to retire in the racks while a pair of naked bouncy cartoon girls, positively skipping off hand-in-hand into the room, settled onto the large communal bed.
Yesterday's big decision pretty well split our group in half with seven of the girls choosing to join the lab coat corps, leaving eight of us to share the massive bed and luxury accommodations this evening. We had also lost a couple more like Jordan and Shauna to the temptation of the twenty-thousand dollar scholarship. I couldn't blame them. I didn't hold any grudges even though I knew I would miss waking up in the middle of the night to Jordan's skilled tongue tickling me between the thighs, so I wished her and quiet cousin Shauna a fond farewell.
Those of us remaining in the harem bed just lounged around, which I guess is pretty harem-like behavior, though I'm not an expert. There was no TV or internet in the sleeping areas so that left us with some kissing and fooling around, but mostly the mood was subdued reflection. This was a big decision for everyone here, and though we were under no obligation to finish out our course of study we were reminded that the part-time option was officially closed to us now. We had all taken the big plunge, put all our chips on the table, and it was either see it through to the end or quit and go home.
I spent a lot of time with Desi's head on my chest as we stroked each others hair and discussed the ins and outs of our decision. Several of the other girls, all of whom had seen our antics in the garden, were curious to know if we would be interested in some company. After some discussion between Desi and me we decided that it was fine if they wanted to snuggle up, but we were both too exhausted for anymore fun that evening. So I woke the next day in pretty much the same position as I had fallen asleep, with Desi's head on my chest.
We had settled into daily life at The Academy. Headmistress Hendricks did not pay us any special visit that morning like on our first day, and most of us awakened naturally to the sunshine coming through the large picture windows in the harem room, which consequently I later found out is called an oda -- education here at The Academy is comprehensive. Anyway, I apparently had a little too much wine with dinner last night and awoke to a bladder in urgent need of release and a real disdain for the thought of our morning calisthenics ritual.
After disentangling myself from Desi I made my way to the edge of the bed. Not that I wanted to leave the warmth and security of my Desi-blanket, but I had to pee. And yes, I just made up the word Desi-blanket. As I trotted to the facilities I saw that the two flat-panel monitors in the hall were already displaying animations of our choices for the morning, not that it was much of a choice. It was either breakfast first, then calisthenics or calisthenics first and then breakfast. I already knew that no calisthenics was not a choice. Mistress Nguyen had already drilled that into our heads.

The toilet facilities were interesting. There were the traditional stalls -- I guess some things still deserve a bit of modesty, even here -- but the rest was all open, including showers and sinks all on one wall and a row of three bidets along another. Like most Americans I was familiar with the concept, but had never actually had the occasion to use one, and they looked a bit intimidating. I think these were from Japan. I had heard once that the Japanese could be very obsessive with high-tech bathroom fixtures and these certainly fit the bill. Each one had a little LCD touch panel that beckoned with full-color animations of the various functions available for my morning routine. So after taking care of my more urgent needs, I spent a good fifteen minutes being blasted in various places with pleasant streams of warm water.
Lesbian Hogwarts has some perks.
"Hey Des, you gotta try this thing," I announced as I watched my bed buddy dragging herself in. "It's like a shower for your lady bits. I feel so
clean
."
"Did you come?" Desi was in a mood I could tell. I hadn't known her all that long -- well, long enough to find myself with her fist in my pussy yesterday, and long enough to know that she's not really a morning person at all. Hence her deadpan comments about the awakening of my latent overactive sex drive this morning did not come as a surprise.
"No dear, I was hoping you would take care of that. Now that I'm all clean for you." I winked at her and she responded by sticking her tongue out at me.
"Breakfast or calisthenics?" I asked as she was outlining my ear with that sarcastic tongue of hers.
