All Access Hour

Andy walked through the gates to the main campus and was pleased to see Gemma consulting a map, presumably trying to find her bearings. It was the perfect opportunity to speak to the only person who had been nice to him during his first stab at Freshers week. It was very unlike Andy to approach a girl he didn't already know, but then again he kind of did, and it was obvious Gemma was a friendly and good natured person, so the risk of this backfiring was practically non existent.

"Hey" he announced as casually as he could manage as he strolled over "You worked out where anything is yet?"

"Hey, er, no, not really" Gemma smiled back, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear "I've never been any good with maps, and this place is way bigger than I was expecting. Do you know where the cafeteria is?"

"Yeah, I think I can figure it out" Andy said, acting like he hadn't already spent five days walking around this place "Why don't I walk there with you? Maybe we could grab a coffee. I've literally only just arrived so it would be nice to have someone to explore with"

"Same here, let's do that!" his new friend beamed approvingly "I'll even buy the coffee as a thank you for your help. I'm Gemma, by the way"

"Andy"

"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Andy" she paused a moment, as if studying him "Although you do seem oddly familiar. Like, I'm more comfortable than I should be with a perfect stranger. Have we met before? Maybe at the Uni Open Day?"

"No, this was the only place I had an offer from so I didn't see the point in going. I've just got one of those faces I guess"

The pair were walking together quite happily when Gemma's phone buzzed. She checked it, and an expression of panic spread across her face.

"Is everything okay?" Andy asked with concern,

"Yeah, but I've gotta deal with something right now. Sorry!"

If Andy remembered rightly from his conversation with Gemma when they had first met at the bar, she would be preoccupied with whatever that was until at least Thursday. He would have to catch her again then. For now, he would head to the Reception area and wait for an opportunity to swipe that all important all access pass.

When he arrived in the lobby, Andy spotted a familiar figure sitting there and looking bored, presumably waiting around for something or other. It was Aurora.

It was weird for Andy to think she had no idea who he was, and yet he had already seen her naked and soaking wet from only a couple of feet away. That same sight would be available for him to take in again in a few hours, if he felt like it. For now though, he wanted to check she had no memories of him, despite how intimate their previous encounter had been.

"Excuse me, do you know where the medical room is?" he asked as he walked over, despite already knowing the answer and having no need to go there.

Aurora looked at Andy then, wordlessly, pointed up at the sign behind him that indicated in which direction he would need to walk. It wasn't the friendliest way of imparting that information, but at least she was being somewhat helpful, and there were no signs of any animosity there at all. It looked like there really were no consequences for anything he did this week.

Andy thanked Aurora and lingered around long enough to grab the pass from the unattended desk at a point where nobody was around to notice. He then headed up to his room as he had a class he needed to revise for the next day - there would only be one question, and he already knew what it was going to be, but he wanted to make sure he could answer it flawlessly.

At around 7 pm a bell rang to alert everyone to the fact that dinner was being served in the cafeteria. That daily occurrence was going to be an absolute godsend to Andy. If he was willing to sort out his own meals, then his reward was roughly an hour to explore the building to his hearts' content each evening, with virtually no chance of being interrupted. Of the women who had caught his eye in his first week, six lived here - Aurora, Elaine and Leah were on the fourth floor, Sara and Gemma on the sixth, while Tamara was down on the second. As a third year, Tina didn't live in Halls while Kara would obviously have her own place. That didn't mean their homes were inaccessible for 'information gathering' purposes, but considerably trickier to get into.

Andy decided to pay a visit to Sara's place, since he would be sitting next to her in class the next day, and he figured it would be good to know a little more about her in advance. En route he stopped at the swipe operated women's locker and shower room serving that floor. Only a dozen or so women were likely to use it, including Sara and Gemma.

Andy swiped the all access card. The reader beeped approvingly and gave a green light - he gave the door a push and it opened. There was nobody in there, of course, but it was exciting to know how easy it was to access.

Sara's room didn't offer any great surprises once Andy entered it. In stark contrast to Aurora's dormitory, everything was incredibly neat and nicely laid out, with her shelves stacked with all kinds of academic books as well as a few self help ones. Interestingly, it seemed Sara may have struggled with self confidence - not something Andy would have guessed from how she had appeared in class.

There were also a number of poetry books - Keats, Byron and Shelley seemed to be favourites. Sara was exactly the kind of person who would understand and like centuries old poetry, Andy thought to himself. That kind of thing sent Andy to sleep, but he was willing to pretend to like it to impress a girl he'd be interested in fucking. The great thing was, once he had raised Sara's affection level enough, he wouldn't even need to maintain the ruse. Andy added those three poets to his revision list.

It also seemed Sara kept a diary that was just lying on her desk waiting to be read, but Andy decided that was a step too far, for now at least.

The only other real clue to Sara's life outside of class was her pin board, which she had mostly filled with family photos. There were a lot of her with someone Andy assumed to be her sister, such was the other girl's similarity in age and physical resemblance to Sara. She also seemed to have a thing for rabbits - there were several photos of her at various ages smiling while holding what were presumably pets, while others seemed to be cute rabbit pictures she had found online and printed out.

Andy couldn't resist a peek in Sara's underwear drawer before leaving. Everything was presented as immaculately as if she had assumed there were to be inspections. Her panties were all folded neatly and set out by colour. Most were plain, cotton and practical, the kind Sara would have bought in a pack of four from the supermarket. However, there were three lacy, skimpy and partially see through pairs - one red and two black - which hinted she did have a sex life when she wasn't hitting the books.

Even more unexpectedly, at the back of the draw were a few pairs of Little Miss knickers, each featuring a different character - Little Miss Brainy, Little Miss Brilliant. Little Miss Show Off, Little Miss Curious and, interestingly, Little Miss Naughty. They were most likely presents from a friend, but it was a quirky touch in the most unexpected of places.

That was as much information as Andy needed for the day, at least this time around. He left Sara's bedroom with a sense of amazement at how easy that had been, and made his way back to his own.
