Act II: Freshers week

This is the start of act 2 of the story. I have decided now to vaguely split it into acts. Each act will focus on a specific time or event. It should make it easier to have a natural conclusion and mini-stories within the main one that way and time jumps less clunky. If I write alternative plot lines I will likely contain them to one act, its easier to manage that way and means I can get a bit wilder without detracting from the main story. Feel free though to have your own takes and go as crazy as you want.

The first act was about my first days at uni, act 2 will all happen during the course of freshers week. For those of you who don't know freshers week is the week before students start their courses at UK universities, everyone has moved in at this points and all the sports club and societies try to recruit the first-year students to sign up. It also a week of non-stop partying and drinking for many. Once again most of the events from the story actually happened or I fantasised about happening. It would be interesting to know what people think actually happened or didn't.

It had been just over a week since that night with Gemma and flat 508. Comparatively the rest of my week had been pretty dull, there was still the excitement of being independent and living away from home for the first time, but no horny adventures or lewd games with strangers. I had bumped into the residents of flat 508 a couple more times, they seemed like pretty normal people actually, although I sensed there was a lot of inter flat 'bonding' going on. There would be the odd comment calling my V boy from johnny or JJ as he prefered, or Goldilocks by the girls, in reference to the dick measuring contest, but we never actually talked about the event of that night. The only one I wasn't sure on was Mike, he just wasn't really easy to get on with. His main interests seemed limited to Football, FIFA and girls, not exactly my idea of engaging conversation. Maybe I was also just jealous he had gotten with Gemma that night. I had briefly met their other hose mate as well, as a guy called Hayden. He was a country lad and seemed really sweet, Gemma joked he was so innocent he made me look like Ron Jeremy. Turns out they didn't have a 6th flatmate and the room was empty until probably January when the uni had a delayed cohort for when some of the courses begin. I still had no idea what that last message of their's had meant, or even who sent it really.

Meanwhile, in flat 206 we had begun to settle into our own routine, despite what I might have thought Gemma actually spent a lot of the time working and prepping for her course to start. Apparently becoming an architect is a pretty intensive degree and she was intent on getting ahead so she could 'enjoy life' as she put it. She would continue to flirt with me and tease me, call me virgin boy when the others weren't around. She seemed to appreciate that it was a personal thing between me and those from that night, with had the tact to know that others may use it against me. Gemma as promised even elaborated on how Mike and 'stumpy', as she named his penis, felt that night and she wondered how JJ would differ when she got the chance. This was all so I could stay in the loop with 'our' research project apparently. I was pretty sure it was because she knew the conservation would turn me on and I would have to head to my room to 'take care of business' after. She knew what I was doing, I didn't mind, opposite in fact, it enhanced it. Safe to say I have had some of the best wanks of my life since I have been here.

Annie seemed to split her time between our place and Josh's. I saw him as much as or more than most of my flatmates, we would often hang out while Annie was getting ready or faffing about doing something. For my part, I had become a spare cog for their relationship. When one wanted a bit of space they normally convince me into hanging out with the other. I heard them having sex one night. It was after the 3 of us had just played a game of Risk. I had never played before but after the first game which Annie won, my wargaming experience meant I picked it up quickly and I kept winning. I think they took their frustrations out on each other. I couldn't help feel a little bit jealous but it only served to set up another great wank.

Turns out Gem, as we all now called her, was actually a lesbian. It surprised me but didn't Gemma apparently. I don't really know why I thought I should be able to tell, a mate of mine from back home was gay and we always used to joke he was the straightest acting of all of us. I suppose it shouldn't be any different for lesbians. It's probably just how the lgbtq+ community get portrayed in the media I guess. I met Grant a few more time, now he was overtly camp, and not afraid to show it. I didn't mind the attention he gave me, it was all fun at the end of the day and it wasn't like Gemma wasn't being worse in her flirting.

Lucca continued to keep himself to himself, being a few years older than the rest of us and in a new country I think he struggled to relate. He was also in his 3rd year and had work to be getting on with. My final flatmate Matt had only moved in 2 days ago. He was a history student but was actually re-doing his first year, he had been ill with intense migraines last year so had to deffer. He was tall and lanky, light brown hair and clearly geeky. We had got on great so far though as we brought out the inner geek in each other and spent a long time talking about films and TV. He had given me a copy of his hard drive so I could watch a bunch of show he recommended like Game of Thrones (it had just finished its 2nd season at this point) and Battle star Galactica.

We were by no means a party flat like some of the others, Matt and Lucca didn't seem like it, wasn't their thing and Gemma had been too busy. Gem had been the only one to go out and get drunk during the last week but that had been with some of her mates from back home, so I hadn't wanted to inject myself. For my part, I spent most of my time playing Squash on the campus facilities or having a lot of 'me time' in my room. Luckily freshers week was about to begin and that meant the uni life was about to really kick off in a big way.
