Once we had climbed the three flights of stairs, for the third time already today, and the day was only half over, we quickly decided that it would help keep us fit. When we reached our door, we saw that there were two flyers and two envelopes in our dorm room mailbox.  Carrie set down her load in order to unlock to the door, grabbed the mail and added it to her stack, and together we entered our room.

A deft flick of my foot caused the door to shut completely, and we booth proceeded to drop our pile of books and supplies on our beds, without anything spilling off.  We had never gotten around to removing the privacy screen before we had gone out.  Carrie looked at it and then me, and together we folded it up, and stuck it under Carrie’s bed.

When she stood back up, we looked at each other, took each other’s hands and Carrie said, “No walls between us my friend.”  To which I quickly added, “No secrets between us my friend.” Without any prompt, we both repeated what the other had said, and ended in a hug, which seemed to linger just a bit longer than a friendly hug.

I do not think either of us wanted to end it, but we both did, as Carrie said; “Shall we see what’s in the mail, the envelopes look intriguing don’t they.”

The first flyer was for a social gathering in the common room of DePant Hall for seven this evening for all residents. “I guess we know what we are doing tonight Vanity, but it doesn’t say how we are supposed to dress.”  In that case Carrie, since this is Jones, let’s get all gussied up.” 
Carrie got a big smile on her face, and said, “I like your style Vanity, I love to be in Satin and Lace.” 
“As do I Carrie, as do I.”

The second flyer was for the social mixer for the upcoming Saturday that Dean Debutante had told me about.  In addition, of the two envelopes, one was addressed to Carrie and the other to me.  We each opened ours at the same time, and then smiled and held up personal invitations to the other mixer to be held at Dean Debutante’s residence, which was actually one of the grand houses on the campus. As far as attire was concerned, it was quite simple, it said, to “Dress to Impress”.

I looked at Carrie, and said, “Not an invitation one should turn down.”  “You’re very correct Vanity, I wonder who we are supposed to impress with how we dress.”

“Well if it is the Dean, then something alluring or see through would make her day.”
Carrie laughed and added; “If she truly is a lesbian, then if we went naked do you think that would impress.”

“Carrie, you’re crazy girl, I know we would impress, but I’m not sure that is the first impression that we want to make; besides you haven’t seen me naked, I might not impress at all.”

“True Vanity, but neither have you seen me; but if your imagination is anything like mine, we both have a pretty good idea.”

“I guess we’ll just have to wait until we get dressed for tonight.”

Somehow we were hugging again, as I heard Carrie softly say, “Yes, no secrets, no walls.” This hug lasted even longer than the last, and I could feel my nipples hard against my lace bra, buy the time we released each other.

Things were progressing at an elevated pace, so we both stepped back to give us a little space. Carrie’s face had a tinge of flush to it, and if I looked into a mirror, I bet I would see the same thing on me.

We took a moment to compose ourselves, and set about putting away our books and setting up our desks.  Nothing was said for a couple of minutes, so I looked over towards Carrie’s desk, and saw her sitting in her chair, turned so that she was looking at me.

“Vanity, did it bother you that I hugged you?”

“Define bother Carrie, you didn’t feel me pull away from you hugging me did you.”

“I meant did it upset you, was I too forward.”

‘No Carrie, it didn’t upset me, it did bother me, but in a very nice way.”

“I’m glad to hear that it bothered you in a nice way, because I did my best to hold myself in check and not kiss you.”

I slowly got up from my chair and crossed the narrow space between our desks, and lowered my face to Carrie’s level, and softly said, “You didn’t need to.” As I leaned forward, and kissed her lips for the first time.




Somehow, we managed to get dressed for the night’s social. We managed to keep it to only a limited amount of touching. Looking, that was a very different matter, as we both watched each other undress and dress for this first time.

We had both decided to go in Satin party dresses with puffy crinolines, nylons and heels.  My dress was navy blue and Carrie’s was emerald green, we both had our long hair down, and our lips highlighted in red lipstick. It was very hard for both of us to resist kissing each other and ruining our makeup.

Let me step back for a moment, because until now you have been guessing at what Carrie and I look like.  Carrie is a fair complexioned blonde-haired woman, and I can attest to her being a natural blonde, her eyes are blue, she is shorter than I, at just five foot two, but her breasts are a slightly big bigger than mine are, which is just fine with me. 

One thing we will not be able to do, is share many of our cloths.  For I am tall for girls in this era, as I am five feet, six inches in my bare feet, and thanks to my grandfather and grandmother, I have a full head of curly red hair, that offset my piercing green eyes. My breasts barely qualify as a “B” cup, but my nipples would be perfect on a “C” when they are hard.  I have also been blessed with a high metabolism rate, so I have never had an issue with weight, which is a blessing, since I love my sweets.

We began to hear voices out in the hall, and saw that it was time for us to head down to this evening’s affair in the common room.  It was time for the other girls to meet the team of Vanity Bench and Carrie Meaway.

We had decided not to bother to carry purses, since we would not be leaving the dorm, and I laughed when Carrie took her key to the room, and slipped it down the top of her dress, to join her breasts in her bra.  “Can I get it out when we get back to the room?  Carrie smiled and said; “Yes, if no one is around when we come back up.”

We set the door to lock behind us, and headed down the hall along with the other girls on the third floor.  We were not the only ones who had decided to dress up for tonight’s affair, but we also saw girls that were dressed very casually as well.  When we got down the stairs to the common room, it was a full house.  As I glanced around the room, I decided that there were few who could compare to Carrie and me for either outfits or looks. 

While it was supposed to be a social mixer, it also had so planned activities as we soon found out.  The Resident Advisers, better known as RA’s for each floor, gathered all of the girls from their floor, and had us introduce ourselves to the other members of the floor and the dorm as a whole. 

When our RA call our room number, Carrie and I stood up together, and by whispered agreement while we had waited, I took the lead,  “Since we both have somewhat unique names, we decided earlier today that we would either have to become a law firm or a vaudeville act.”  I already had a few laughing, when Carrie took over, “Now this long tall red head next to me is Vanity Bench.” To which I quickly added; “And this cute little blonde next to me is Carrie Meaway.  We will leave it up to you Law Firm or Vaudeville Act.”  By now, we had all of the girls in the room laughing, and our names had become almost secondary, but ones that no one would forget. 

Carrie and I began to laugh, when someone shouted, let’s take a vote, and see how it turns out when we graduate.  More started calling for a vote, until the senior RA for the dorm called for quiet and then said; Okay ladies, All in favor of the law firm of Vanity Bench and Carrie Meaway, raise your hand, and keep it up while we get a count.”  I was surprised at how many hands went up for us as a law firm.

“Ok hands down, now how many vote for these two very attractive young ladies, to become a vaudeville act.” 
While they counted, Carrie leaned her head next to mine and softly said; “I vote for lovers.” I almost started to laugh, because I had had the same thought myself.

The senior RA held up her hand, and everyone settled down again, “Okay, based on the vote, it seems we have the newest vaudeville act in the country, Vanity Bench and Carrie Meaway, and our first entries in our annual talent show.”

All of the girls in the room started to hoot and laugh, as Carrie and I took each other’s hand, stepped forward, and took a bow.

The RA for our floor, came over to us, and gave us each a hug, “Girls, now that is what I call and Ice Breaker, as well as a great diversionary move on your parts.”

I looked a Carrie and said; “That shouldn’t be a problem, we’ve found that we have a special chemistry between us, I couldn’t have a better roommate.”  To which Carrie quickly added, “I couldn’t agree more.”

Miss Cutter, our RA, smiled and said, “Yes, I thought I saw spark jump between you both when you met today. You might not want to hold hands too much in public, at least for a while yet.”
Carrie and I booth realized that we had never let go of the other’s hand, after we had taken our bow.  We released each other’s hand, and Carrie asked; “So when is the talent show, we’ll have to work on our act.”

“It’s just before the Christmas break, but don’t take it to seriously, it is meant to be a night of fun, before to we leave for the holidays.”

With that our RA drifted away to talk with other girls on our floor, as Carrie and I went over to the buffet table, and each picked up a plate, and began to load it with treats and other deserts; And then joined the rest of the girls as we all got to know each other.

Sometime during the evening, someone slipped vodka into the punch, and the fun really began. The RA’s seemed to look the other way, as long as no one became too intoxicated, or complained.


Carrie and I spent most of the party together, but we were apart from time to time, and I know I was hit on at least three times during the party.  Maybe because of anticipating being together with Carrie later, had me sending out strong signals tonight, but I have learned how not to signal in the last two years.
