Campus was deserted for spring break, most students choosing to go home rather than hang around. That meant a lot of dark windows in the women’s accommodation block, all except for one, where bright lights flashed on and off, followed by the occasional laugh.
Inside three young women, Mel and Jessie both 20, and there cross-hall friend Amy, 19, were all enjoying a quiet night in, watching movies and chatting. It was an interesting mix for anyone on campus who knew the people involved. Certainly many a tongue was left wagging when Mel and Jessie walked by, the most prominent lesbians on campus. They were very forward about their sexuality and left a lasting impression on all their fellow students when they came across the flamboyant duo.
On the other side of the scale was Amy, a reasonably average college girl just trying to get through her degree and land a good job. She fit in with almost every social group on campus and had befriended the two outgoing girls when she first arrived in the accommodation block and was allotted the room across the corridor. Ever since she had been dodging rumors that she was the ‘third’ member of the campus lesbian connection. Something which at first which bothered her, but now was no big deal.
The three girls were part of the handful of students who didn’t go home for break, choosing instead to hang out and generally have a good time. For Amy it was a chance to get away from her overbearing parents. For Mel and Jessie it was business as usual.
Amy was a gorgeous strawberry blonde; she had a young trim figure which got its fair share of notice on a campus dominated by the female population. She played a number of sports and was an avid gym member. She stood about five foot five, with straight shoulder length hair and captivating blue eyes. Her slender lines were accentuated by a casual pair of hipster jeans and a sporty black boob tube which displayed her taught stomach, even tan and navel stud.
Mel also sported a trim frame; she had closely cropped black hair which highlighted her high cheekbones and deep brown eyes. She was a real take charge kind of woman who always said what she thought. She stood about five foot four and wore a low slung pair of hipster shorts with frayed edges, barely covering her underwear and a tight fitting white shirt.
Jessie had a slightly curvier figure, although she was still slender, sporting a larger bust than the other girls, she wore a low cut sleeveless blue shirt and slinky skirt which only covered a quarter of her thighs. Jessie had shoulder length sandy blonde hair which she had tied up in a rough pony tail.
The three girls shared a few smuggled drinks, campus security was non-existent, which led to a few loose tongues when conversation rolled by. The topics were innocent enough, college, lecturers, people they didn’t get along with, people they found hot, the list went on.
Amy enjoyed hanging out with Mel and Jessie, despite their reputation; they were very outgoing and pleasurable to be with. Neither girl cared much for what other people thought or said; in fact they reveled in the notoriety. When they invited Amy over to watch movies and have a couple drinks Amy was a little curious as to what they did in private. She wondered if they were as forward as some people had suggested.
“So Amy, I’m pretty bored with this movie, let’s do something and let Mel finish watching,” said Jessie, breaking the silence. She could tell from Amy’s squirming and impassive reaction to the movie that she hadn’t got into it. Mel however had her head lying in Jessie’s lap and was intently watching on. Mel whispered something to Jessie as she crawled out of the cushy couch and headed to the dimly lit kitchenette. Amy followed close behind.
“So what do you have in mind?” asked Amy with her slight country drawl. Her accent was an endless source of amusement to both Jessie and Mel. Jessie passed Amy another drink, heavily laden with vodka. Amy took a sip and commented about how much punch was in her glass.
“Nothing much, Mel wants to be a stick in the mud and watch that boring movie,” said Jessie just loud enough for Mel to hear and elicit a mumbled response from the couch. “I thought you and I could have a chat. Any ideas, stories?” smiled Jessie her pearly white teeth catching Amy’s attention.
“What kind of stories?” posed Amy with a grin, taking another sip from her strong drink. “You aren’t trying to pump me for dirty stories are you?” Amy was very much the modern liberal chick, something the other two girls liked, she wasn’t flustered if they kissed in front of her, and she loved to get out and party. But under all that she had a very innocent character.
“I might be? Got any?”
“Ummm, I don’t know if I should share them,” replied Amy. Amy smiled broadly getting a cheeky giggle from Jessie as she took a swig from her equally strong drink.
“I got to say it’s great that you came over, Mel and I really like to hang out with you. You’re one of our few friends, with things the way they are around campus it can be a little hard to find genuine friends,” Jessie said with a twinkle in her eye. Amy took a moment to take in the praise and then tried to dismiss it looking down at the floor. Jessie watched her reaction and jumped in quickly. “No I mean it; you don’t realize how hard it can be for the two of us to make any real friends. Some people just look at us funny, others act like friends but are just trying to dig up some gossip.”
Amy could tell that Jessie was being sincere, she had heard the way some other students talked about Mel and Jessie, most without ever meeting them, they were considered by some as the campus freak show. Amy finished her drink, the vodka burning its way down her throat and causing a brief rush to her head.
“Wow, go easy Amy, or you’ll get wasted before the night is over,” laughed Jessie. Amy was feeling a little light headed and through her jumbled thoughts resolved to not have another drink for a little while and allow herself to sober up. However, before she could say no Jessie was topping up her drink, heavy on the vodka again.
“Thanks,” Amy mumbled. “So I hope I’m not intruding but what is it really like?”
“What do you mean?” Jessie said coyly. “How people act around us, or what it’s like being with another girl?” Jessie’s grin exposing her pearly white teeth again.
“Ummm, I meant what it’s like around campus, not …” Amy stammered. “It’s not like I wanted to …” Amy’s face lit up bright red with embarrassment as she blushed. She struggled to look up into Jessie’s eyes.
