Glad to see this is being read, thank you.
Apologies for the slow update, we've recently got a new kitten and have been settling him in so have been unable to update, but hopefully you enjoy this second instalment.
Keep reading and reviewing
Chapter 2
The light hit me as I opened my eyes the next morning. Hailey was already dressed; she sat at the head of her bed, her legs crossed as she scribbled away in a notebook. I yawned and stretched as I glanced at the clock, it read 7AM.
"Morning" Hailey said cheerfully, and I inwardly groaned, she was a morning person, and I certainly wasn't, I hated mornings, always had and suspected I always would
"Hey"
"Did you sleep well?" she asked as I sat up, swinging my legs around and placing my feet into the slippers I'd discarded the previous evening
I nodded; suddenly realising I'd slept better than I had in months "I slept well thanks"
"Good" she replied, motioning towards the door "I think there's a shower free, breakfast starts at 8, if you want first dibs you'd better get a move on"
I nodded as I stood, my stomach was still full from the meal I'd consumed yesterday evening. I had been surprised at the amount of cuisines and food on offer, and my senses had been ignited by all the wonderful smells.
I gathered my toiletry bag, towels and uniform, not in any real hurry and headed out of the dormitory
I entered the restroom, faintly aware of a humming sound coming from one of the shower stalls, and placed my belongings on the bench. There was a hint of Vanilla in the air and I closed my eyes, inhaling the scent, not noticing the water had stopped nor that the door to the shower stall was being slid I open.
I opened my eyes, and gasped, it was her, Casey, naked in front of me "Sorry" I mumbled, but unable to avert my gaze
"Pass me the towel then" her voice echoed, the southern accent familiar as her annoyance and embarrassment became evident
I quickly tore my eyes away from milky skin, faintly aware of the same quickening of my heart but also aware of an unfamiliar tingling cascading over my body as I grabbed the two towels on top of her belongings and handed them to her
Her cheeks wore a bright crimson as she wrapped the largest towel quickly around her body, drying it gently and I was suddenly thrust back into reality, an awkwardness settling over us
"Sorry" I mumbled again, my eyes now firmly on the floor "About yesterday"
"I was only trying to be helpful Alex," she told me, and my heart fluttered at the sound of my name from her lips, she knew my name already. I felt myself blush unexpectedly, pleased when she continued, not having seemed to have noticed, she was now using the slightly smaller towel to dry her hair "I didn't mean to bump into you, I was coming back from my run"
I nodded, my guilt returning as I replied, "I know and I am sorry for being so rude"
"Apology accepted" she said, the towel in her hands being tossed onto the bench before she extended her hand "The name is Casey, Casey Novak"
I shook her hand, before quickly dropping it, the strange tingling now returning; "I heard you'd be chaperoning me during the day"
"We have the same timetable, so Miss Eisenhower thought it made sense" she explained as she turned towards the bench, picking up a piece of underwear "Anyway I should get dressed"
I nodded, swallowing as she let the towel she had covered herself with fall, and I noticed a smirk on her lips as I stuttered, "I…er… should er…shower"
I was a little embarrassed as I shed my clothes; but my eyes kept drifting to the redhead as she began dressing, and as I removed the last garment, my pyjama top and folded it neatly, I swore I could feel her eyes on me
I stepped into the shower stall, closing it behind me and I heard her call out "I'll see you after breakfast"
"Okay" I called as I turned on the faucet, forgetting Hailey's words of caution. I gasped as the cold water came shooting out of the waterfall shower above, and quickly followed the sound with a curse "Fuck" as I stepped out of it's spray
I gradually turned the nozzle, until the water began to warm up and cautiously returned to underneath the now calm flow. I lathered up the sponge, allowing the water to cascade along my now tense body as I began to wash.
I gradually relaxed, angling the showerhead over my stomach and to my nether regions. I was surprised at the feeling the water caused as it hit; and involuntarily closed my eyes, a gentle moan escaped my lips. I held the showerhead still, the feeling somehow sending shockwaves from all directions, not quite sure what was happening. My legs suddenly felt like they belonged to someone else, almost liquefying as a feeling of euphoria washed over me, almost causing me to fall
I was horrified at what happened next, the sight of the redhead swam into my view, not just any sight but the naked sight I had seen earlier. Her milky skin littered with freckles, the curves of her breasts, her hips and long legs invaded my mind. My eyes flew open, my breath quickening and my heart beating wildly.
I blushed, before quickly returning the showerhead to it's home above my head, and opening the shower door.
I quickly dried myself, and dressed, before hurrying back into my dorm room, glad to see it was empty. Hailey having headed to the breakfast hall
I sat down on my bed, willing my heart to quieten and my hands to stop shaking. What on earth had just happened?
I quickly grabbed my phone from the drawer beside the bed and opened up Google Search, I quickly typed in "Showerhead on Vagina", my brows furrowing in confusion as the words masturbation appeared
I wasn't naïve, well, not completely, I had just turned 16, my birthday having been May 31st. I'd never quite been in the right place at the right time to have Sex Education, what I knew was minimal, only from reading novels. I quickly deleted my search, and typed in masturbation. I scanned the summary, the blush returning as I made the connection between the words I was reading and what had just occurred in the shower stall
I had just experienced my first orgasm
I looked at the clock, noting it was nearing 8.45AM and I was suddenly aware of wetness on my cheeks, I lifted my hand and felt a tear slip from my eyes
I'd just had an orgasm, my first ever and I'd been thinking about Casey. It wasn't so much that it was the redhead that I'd envisioned during this intimate act, more so the fact that it had been another girl, and my mothers words entered my head "Having those kind of feelings for the same sex is wrong, it's disgusting"
I allowed my mind to take me back to the time I'd heard her say those words. My Auntie Liz had been visiting, I was only 6 or 7 at the time, I'd been in my bedroom, banished from the living room as it was adult conversation time. I hadn't really understood her words to the woman I had adored at the time, and when I'd questioned when we'd be visiting Auntie Liz, my mother had replied that we wouldn't
I hadn't seen Auntie Liz again that day but now as I returned to the present day and typed in "Girl fancies girl", I finally understood why. Auntie Liz had been, or still was, a Bisexual or Lesbian and my mother deeply disapproved.
I suddenly felt very ashamed, I was confused and uncertain of what all this meant, was I bisexual? I'd never had these feelings for boys; every boarding so far had been mixed until now so was I a Lesbian?
I sighed as I allowed myself to flop backwards onto the bed, and as I heard the school alarm ring out, the tears began flowing faster, how on earth was I going to face Casey now?
I must have cried myself to sleep because the next thing I remember is Hailey's voice as I began to stir "I think she's been crying"
I lifted my hand to my cheek, feeling the dried tears there, as I wondered who she was talking to. Hailey came to my side, obviously noticing I had woken "Hey sleepyhead, you missed first period"
I rubbed my eyes as I sat up, adjusting to the light and looked at the clock, it read 9.55AM, it was then that my gaze shifted towards the door and I realised the person she had been speaking to was Casey, I blushed hard as I remembered what had happened earlier and then a fresh round of tears started falling "Hey" Hailey soothed as she knelt down beside the bed, her hand resting on my shoulder, but I couldn't stop myself from breaking down
"What's wrong?" the voice was questioning but concerned and it took me a moment to realise it had come from the redhead, who had now crossed the room and was knelt beside the short blonde
"Nothing" I said quickly, feeling embarrassed but also touched at there obvious worry, I used the sleeve of my grey sweater to wipe the tears, swallowing hard to avoid anymore from escaping "What lesson is it now?"
"Physical Ed" came Casey's enthusiastic reply and I gave a small smile at her obvious excitement, as if she'd suddenly forgot my upset
The thought of having to change in front of the redhead, and having her change in front of me almost set off another round of tears, but I pushed the feeling of fear down, telling myself that I wasn't attracted to women in that way and what had happened earlier was a mistake, a lack of judgement and would not happen again. I could do this
"Come on then" I exclaimed, my voice a little hoarse from crying and relief washed over me as the two girls stood, my breakdown now seemingly forgotten
Of course, I should have realised it wouldn't be so easily brushed aside. Physical Education hadn't been too difficult, I had had to speak to the instructor, a lanky brunette by the name of Miss Hill before the lesson began. I had developed Asthma as a child and while I hadn't had an attack for a couple of years I still carried an inhaler around with me.
This had given me a chance to avoid the rush of the changing rooms and by the time I had entered, the other students had already changed and were vacating the area. I was relieved to see that Casey had already changed, and my nerves settled.
We'd played dodge ball, blues against reds and I'd actually had a good time, I had been picked last, being the newbie I had expected this but to the surprise of my team, the blues, I'd been pretty good and we'd won.
Casey had scowled, I'd later learnt that whichever team she was on had always won, and having been on opposing teams she wasn't too pleased
However she had been in good spirits during break, and seemed interested in learning about my adventures in other states. She'd sighed wistfully and I'd learnt she had been born in Virginia, in a place called Alexandria and had been attended St Margaret's boarding school since 6th Grade. Her parents hadn't wanted children and she'd been a surprise, she'd quickly learnt that she didn't fit into her parent's lifestyle and when she was old enough, they'd sent her to boarding school.
My heart broke at the thought of not being wanted, and I mused that our situations were somewhat similar
The rest of the day had passed fairly smoothly, we'd gotten through a mind numbing geography lesson and an equally boring Math one, before lunch had come and gone all too quickly. Art had been fun, and Casey was a pretty skilled artist, her painting having easily been the work of the day. She'd explained that it was something she'd got into as a young girl, finding it soothing, it had been a distraction from the constant bickering of her parent's
It was now the end of the school day and Casey had asked if I fancied accompanying her on her run, the thought of the redhead, sweaty and panting sent my heartbeat into overdrive, I fought to curb my emotions as panic rippled through me, and managed to stutter out my apologies before fleeing
I literally sprinted back to my dorm room, throwing open the door to see Hailey sitting cross legged on her bed, where she had been when I'd woken that morning. I wanted so badly to rewind time and return to those moments, wake up earlier and shower before Casey, I'd still not figured out what the redhead was doing in the shower stalls adjacent to my dorm. There were two dormitories allocated to each shower stall and Hailey and I, being number 41, shared with the room to our left, number 40.
"What is it?" she asked looking up at me as I rested my back to the door, the familiar sting of tears quickly pooling and slipping from my eyes. I squeezed them shut at her words, before opening them
She looked so concerned, she was such a sweet girl, and I'd quickly decided we would be friends on our first meet. I wasn't sure if I could trust her just yet though
"It's nothing" I replied, my voice wavering, it's betrayal bringing fresh tears with it
"Come and sit down" she told me, patting the space in front of her. I did as instructed, again like earlier using my sleeve to wipe at the tears
"Sorry" I wasn't sure why I was apologising; I'd never been one to show emotion. Even Abbie hadn't seen me cry more than a couple of times
"It's okay" she said, her voice soft and soothing "I'll listen if you want to talk"
I nodded, my hands clasped together in my lap, she continued with the book she had been reading, and I noticed the title "When Katie met Cassidy", I was intrigued, the cover showing two feminine looking lips and I suddenly took a chance
"I think I might be a lesbian"
