I managed to get the exam results that I needed to get into University. My first day there was a very nervous time for me, as I was very shy. As things turned out, there were a number of people that I recognised from school, including David, Maureen and a few others from the swimming team. They all saked if I was going to try-out for the Uni team, I told them I did not think I would have much free time, but would think about it.

For most of the first week, we seemed to spend most of our time in the Students Union, drinking and partying. I had decided not to get a student flat, to try to save money, and because I only lived 20 minutes away. David had decided to try to rent a flat in the city, but was finding it hard to get someone to share it with. He asked me, but I told him I wanted to stay at home, as I had as much freedom to do what I wanted to, and it was cheaper. ( I also knew that I would miss Linda if I moved into his flat). Somehow Maureen found out about him needing a flatmate, and offered to move in. He was reluctant at first, but soon agreed to let her on the condition that they were just friends sharing a flat. Maureen had no option but to agree.

In the 10 weeks since the swimming finals, Maureen had changed a bit, and for the better too. She had put on a bit of weight, (due to not having to train everyday), her boobs had filled, they now looked quite good, and her skin was a lot better, (not in water all the time). Her feelings towards David did not seem to have changed though, she was all over him almost all of the time, much to his dislike.

We all went to a big party at the end of the first week. The music was great, it was the first time I had seen a band live, the drink was cheap, and there were loads of scantily dressed females for us to look at. I had arranged to stay with David and Maureen on the night of the party, so I did not have to get a taxi home, and if I was lucky, I might even get a girl.

By about 11pm, out of the group we were in, there were only a few that were not totally pissed. I was reasonably ok as I was used to alcohol by now. We decided to take the party back to the flat, there were about 20 who said they would go back to it. By the time we actually got back, there were only about 7 of us. There was me, David, Maureen, 2 other girls and 2 guys.

The 2 girls threw up in the toilet, and crashed out with the 2 guys on David's bed. David and Maureen disappeared to her room, and I settled down on the settee with a bottle.

I was almost at the point of walking home when David came through and told me there was plenty of room on Maureens bed for me. I walked through, Maureen was lying on the bed half undressed and drunk, and as soon as David lay down he passed out too.

When I saw the mess that the flat was in when I got up, I was happy that I had decided to live at home.
