Yes, let's!

I felt myself tense up again as Sionna swung the door wide to let me back out into the hall. To my surprise, though, it passed quickly this time, and I managed to accept her invitation without pausing, walking out with my back reasonably straight. As Sionna followed, closing the door behind us, I found myself once more surrounded by the gentle chaos of everyone moving in, though things had calmed down a bit in the time we'd spent talking. As I looked down toward the stairs, the several girls I caught sight of this time were all in uniform. Amazingly, where the sight of so many bare bottoms had just a few minutes ago had me falling over myself, it now filled me with more of that same warm sense of belonging...although I still found my gaze hovering a little lower than it normally might have.

Getting ahead of me, Sionna beckoned, and I followed. As we headed for the stairs, other girls smiled and waved, a couple calling out Sionna by name. I felt eyes on me, and a little flush returned to my cheeks, but I managed not to flinch, even returning most of the smiles. It really was amazing how chill everyone was about this, but just like Sionna had promised, I was already beginning to feel like just one of the crowd.

Down in the lobby, we passed by the sign-in volunteers packing up their stations, the last of the new arrivals now accounted for. Sionna led the way to the front doors, throwing them wide and bringing us back out onto those front steps I'd climbed with so much trepidation less than an hour ago. Standing beside her, I took my first look around the quad as a bona fide Drexel student. While the last of the cars had departed, the campus seemed to have come more alive in their absence, students now settled in and suited up emerging to find their old friends. A trio of girls lay together in the grass, gently entwined beside one another...and all with hands between their bare legs.

Oh, there was the blush again—I wondered where it had gotten to.

Sionna seemed to spot them too, catching my eye sidelong with a rueful grin. "Yeah, I remember everyone getting into the swing of things pretty quick last year too."

I blinked, shaking my head clear. "I mean...it makes sense, I guess. Y'know, missing it over the summer." A thought struck me. "Uh, if I'm getting in your way, don't—"

"Mm-mm." Sionna shook her head firmly. "Don't worry about it. I'm not in any rush." I felt her take hold of my hand; it did nothing for the state of my cheeks. "C'mon. Tour." She had no trouble getting me to follow.

Gracie was the larger of the two dorm buildings. The other, Crick Hall, stood on the other side of the campus, past the quad and the Arroyo Building where the library and a chunk of the classrooms were held. Over the tops of the lush trees that partly screened Gracie off from its surroundings, I could see the sloped roof of the Stockton building, the largest one on campus where the main admin offices and the gym were. As Sionna led me on a circuitous route down paved footpaths, pointing out each building by name, I quickly realized she was doing her best to distract me from the sights and sounds of our classmates reuniting. She wasn't all that successful. All of a sudden, it seemed every way I looked, there were girls by ones, twos, and more with hands, lips, and tongues busy making up for the loss of the last few months. I did my best not to stare, even though the nagging voice in the back of my head kept telling me that clearly no one minded people looking, but it was impossible not to notice them. The two gorgeous, leggy blondes locking lips in front of the Stockton doors, caressing each other's tight bubble butts; the curvy South Asian girl sitting back to a tree with legs spread sliding a very thick purple dildo in and out of her shaved pussy, moaning with abandon, meeting my gaze as she caught me gawking with a look in her lidded eyes that clearly told me she enjoyed the attention. I felt something touch my thigh and realized, in a dreamlike haze, that I was dripping down my leg. Then I realized a few seconds late that I'd stopped in place and let Sionna get several steps ahead of me, and my flush returned in full ****, my thighs reflexively clamping together as I tore my mortified gaze away and hustled to catch up, my momentary confidence evaporated.

Sionna kept her eyes forward, not slowing down. "It's okay. I promise, you get used to it."

"Hard to imagine." My voice came high and strained.

"I know."

The dining hall had an exterior wall that was one big window, giving it a view out over Audley Pond—big enough to be a small lake, really. I knew the walking trail around it was popular with students. As we passed by the entrance, Sionna stopped for the first time, a light of recognition coming into her eyes. "Oh, shit—hey, Bree!" Glancing in the direction of her wave, I saw another girl sitting on a bench look up in recognition—and my heart went aflutter all over again.
