At the age of 18, Shawn, Belle, Phillip, Chloe and Mimi all went to Salem College. Shawn has been dating Belle for just over a year, and Phillip has been dating MIMI. Chloe is as yet alone, but has her friends. Mimi is studying a beauty course, Belle is studying chemistry, Shawn is studying English and Music, Chloe also studies Music and Phillip is studying sports science. It is the first week on campus and all are a little nervous in their first days in college.

Mimi spotted Belle sat in the canteen munching down on a burger. Mimi had given up fatty foods at the beginning of the summer to keep in shape, and not be the ugly one in a beauty class. She sat next to Belle and grabbed a piece of tomato from Belle's plate.

"Hi Meem's. So how's your first week going?"

"OK. Theres like five totally cute guys in my class, but they are all gay. Except one, but he's a little weird. What about you."

"Well I got what you lot would say the boring subject, but I'm loving it. Theres so much to science than I ever knew. I called my Mom earlier and shes psyched I'm loving it here. Of course if I wasn't sharing a room with you it would get a little boring. I just wish Chloe could come in with us."

"Theres only two to a room Belle, you know that. Anyway, I want to get through this course, and I wont do that if I'm turned into a toad."

"Give it up Meem's. High school was a few years ago. Jason's a rent boy, and Jan's busy with her job at Gap, so lay off Chloe. You need your friends now."

"Anyway, I just saw Shawn, he said remember we have the frat party tonight. He'll pick you up at seven. I'm meeting Philly there, and Chloe told Philly she may turn up if she doesnt have any homework. Which to me means, I'm pissed I'm alone so I'll stay in my room and listen to Puccini."

The evening drew on, and Belle was really excited about the party. She tried to call Chloe dozens of times, and was stoked when Shawn came over. She let him in, barely letting him close the door before she stuck her tongue in his mouth.

"Hi gorgeous."

"Hi my sexy boyfriend."

"So, anyone here?"

"Mimi is drying her hair, Phillips not hear yet, and Chloe's a no show."

"Oh well. Come here and gimme another kiss before the others arrive."

Across in Chloe's room, she wasn't alone at all. The lat naked with her lover stroking his chest. Suddenly he looked at his watch.

"Dammit."

"What is it?"

"I have to pick up Mimi for the party."

"Phillip, can't you stay?"

"No Chloe. It's bad enough I'm lying to Mimi, but standing her up is another matter."

"We decided when you started to date Mimi, we still loved each other. You wont break if off with her, and I'll be damned if I'm going to stand by alone while the love of my life wastes his time with that bitch Mimi."

"I told you, when we're into the college year a bit more, and it wont result in Mimi leaving college, I'll break it off with her."

"Fine. But I'm coming tonight." Chloe pulled a black dress up over her body, with nothing on underneath.

"If you want to come. But don't make a scene."

"Moi." Chloe coyly smiled at Phillip
