Chapter 2

A stray branch laying in the ground crunched as Sara and Ashley left the empty field and stepped into the woods. It was summer at last and the two girls were glad their vacation had finally started. They lived near each other, but home was hours away. Both of their families had been coming to the small beach town for the summer for as long as the girls could remember. They had packed up almost a week ahead of time anxiously awaiting a summer at the beach and with their local friends, Nick and Will. They hadn’t seen the boys since last summer and while Ashley was only a little taller, Sara had changed considerably.

Sara was fairly tall in general, nearly six feet at this point and she towered over her friend. She had left the cottage in a pair of ratty old slacks with a few holes in the legs and a baggy T-shirt. Her long ginger hair hung down her back in a quick and easy pony tail, just enough to keep it out of the way. She had very fair skin and the summer weather had already caused a dusting of freckles over her nose to reappear. Her blue eyes gleamed in the bright sunlight as she walked out of the house. She waited for Ashley outside of the neighbouring cottage.

Ashley soon came out in a pair of pink corduroy overall, the bib covering a very tight white shirt with no sleeves that contrasted her deep brown skin. She had short black hair that curled wildly but was contained in a set of double buns. Her wireframe glasses sat low on her nose with a slightly yellow tint to dull the bright sun. She was just over five and a half feet tall but seemed much short standing next to her friend.

Once both girls had met up they set out into the woods towards their summer hang out place. The little cabin where they spent the majority of their summer weekends. A place called Woodland.

“Do you think Nick and Will will actually be out there?” Sara asked as the trees started to surrounded them.

“I doubt it. They usually spend the first weekend of summer eating junk food and playing Nintendo.”

“So why are we going out here today?”

“Because.” Ashley didn’t say much more than that at first. “Girl talk?” She added after a few moments.

“We could have done that at the cottage, like always.”

“Beth told me about something.” Beth was Ashley’s older sister who had come home from university the week before.

“What is it?”

Ashley just blushed in response. You couldn’t quite see the redness in her cheeks, but Sara knew her well enough to tell.

“Ooooh. It’s either something juicy or naughty.” Sara chided her. “The last time you blushed that bad was when you accidentally walked into the boys locker room.” Sara giggled at the memory, sarcastically emphasizing the word ‘accidentally.’

“It WAS an accident!”

“If you say so.” Sara skipped along ahead.

“And I didn’t even see anything!” Ashley called after her.

“Sure sure.” Sara laughed. “Did Beth bring any more cute boys home with her this time?” Last year Beth had brought her boyfriend home with her. He stayed for a few nights even though her parents were far from impressed with the idea. Sara had formed an instant crush on him, even though he was much older than her.

“Nah. She said she’s done with boys all together. She said it’s just her and her battery operated boyfriend from now on.”

Sara had stopped skipping ahead and Ashley had finally caught up. Sara looked at her somewhat confused.

Ashley rolled her eyes. She may be be the shyer one of the two girl but she was extremely well read and knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects. Being the younger one, she liked it when she knew something that Sara didn’t.

“It’s her vibrator.” Ashley started as if everyone should know that.

“What’s it do?”

“It just sort of buzzes. She showed it to me last night then told me I should forget about high school boys and just buy one myself.”

“But what’s it FOR?” Sara was intent on getting her answer now.

“Shh.” Ashley said, stopping suddenly.

They were just coming up to the front of the cabin they called Woodland. Ashley pointed to the door. Sara’s eyes scanned the door and noticed what Ashley had been pointing to. The padlock was unlocked and hanging from the latch. The door was closed and so were all the shutters. Surely the shutters would be open if someone was in there already. Ashley’s heart jumped into her throat. Her mind raced through every TV show about unsolved crimes and abductions that she had ever seen. The girls exchanged glances and Sara steeled herself before starting to creep forward. Ashley stayed close behind her ready to bolt at a moments notice. Sara reached out and pushed the door open.

The lights were on and the girls saw Nick and Will standing beside the table with their pants around their ankles. Time seemed to stop as the girls processed what they were seeing. They saw Will first, his track pants and underwear sitting on the floor around his feet and his hand slowly sliding up and down the shaft of his hard cock. Nick was standing nearby doing the same. It was obvious, even at a glance, that Nick was much larger and hairier than Will. Both of the boys were staring at something on the table that the girls couldn’t quite see.

“Ewwwww!” Sara shrieked from the doorway, more from the surprise than anything. Ashley jumped at the sudden noise, breaking her focus. Sara scrunched her face up in a look of disgust while Ashley, blushing again, averted her eyes.

Both Nick and Will panicked. They stopped what they were doing and turned away from the girls. They struggled to get their pants up without having to bend over in front of them. Once they were faced away Ashley’s eyes flickered over their bare asses. Sara was staring daggers at the boys the whole time.

“What the hell was that?” Sara demanded once the boys were decent again. This wasn’t how she planned to see a naked boy for the first time.

They stood silently looking at their feet like they had just been caught sneaking the last piece of cake. Neither wanted to answer Sara’s question as a cocktail of fear, shame, and guilt was coursing through their veins.

“They were just jerking off.” Ashley finally answered for them, “it’s no big deal.”

Sara shot a glare at Ashley, “how would you know?”

“All boys do it. It’s normal. Even the primates at the zoo do it.” Sara always forgot just how much Ashley read and how much she knew about almost everything. Sometimes she felt inferior next to Ashley’s level of understanding.

“They throw poop around too, but I hope the boys don’t do that.”

Ashley shrugged, “probably not.” She looked over to Nick, “Do you throw poop at people?” She cocked an eyebrow and smiled slightly.

Nick shook his head.

“It’s still gross.” Sara said as she moved inside the cabin letting Ashley follow her in. “What’s this?” She asked, noticing the magazine they had been looking at on the table.

“Nothing!” Nick snatched the magazine up in a flash and held it behind his back.

“That’s a nudey magazine, isn’t it.” Sara’s expression turned back into one of disgust, then mild intrigue.

Again, the boys didn’t answer.

Sara started to move around the table to peek behind Nick’s back but the boys did their best to keep facing her.

“You perverts.” Ashley chided as she snatched the magazine from Nick’s hand. They hadn’t seen her moving around the other way.

“Give it back.” Nick hollered and lunged for the magazine.

“Nuh-uh!” Ashley ducked down and put the table between them. She unrolled the magazine and looked at the busty blonde that graced the cover. Sara moved closer to her to see what the fuss was about. Ashley wasted no time flipping through the first couple of pages to the first photo collage of the naked blonde.

“Her make up looks good.” Sara said, slightly intrigued, “her tits are fake though.”

“Is this what got you guys all hot and bothered?” Ashley waved the open pages at the boys and laughed a little.

Will nodded.

Ashley continued to flip pages to the petite brunette with the shaved pubic hair and on to the raven haired girl. She paused when she noticed the guy in the picture with her. She subtly nudged Sara to make sure she was looking. Both girls had their curiosity piqued by the photo of the man with his fingers inside the woman. Ashley had a hunch about what was coming up next. When she was sure that Sara was looking at the page she turned to the next one. Sara gasped as she processed what was on the page. The man was now naked and the girl was touching, kissing, and sucking on the man’s cock.

“Gross! Why would she put that in her mouth?”

“It’s -” Ashley started.

“Normal. I knew you were going to say that.” Sara couldn’t take her eyes off of the photos. The boys were looking at he the two girls, not sure what to do next. They saw both girls look away from the page and their gazes fell on the boys crotches. First to Will, then over to Nick. The boys blushed but the girls didn’t notice. The girls moved their eyes back to the page then they glanced at each other and giggled.

“That’s enough of that.” Ashley said, closing the magazine and dropping it onto the table.

“You guys didn’t mess up these chairs with your dirty little hobby, did you?” Sara asked, gesturing toward the bean bag chairs.

“No. We had just started.” Nick answered.

“Good.” The girls each plopped down in a chair.

Nick took the magazine from the table and shoved it into his backpack.

“So,” Ashley turned to Will, “Nick’s a lot bigger than you, huh?” She grinned devilishly. Even though she had a penchant for blushing she didn’t have issues broaching any subject once she got it out of her system.

Will nodded. He wasn’t really sure how to respond.

“I guess the big bad testosterone bug hasn’t bit you quite yet.”

Will shook his head.

“That’s cool. I’m still waiting for something to happen down here too.” She patted her flat chest.

“But you’re younger than me. The other boys are getting arm pit hair already and I’ve got nothin’” Will pouted.

“It’ll happen. Sara developed almost a year ago, but I’m sure you’ve noticed already.” Ashley winked at him.

“Don’t tell them that!” Sara interrupted.

Ashley rolled her eyes again, “it’s pretty obvious.” She looked down at Sara’s ample chest, then back up to her face.

Sara crossed her arms and grabbed one of her old teen magazines from the floor beside her. She decided that she wasn’t going to have any of this conversation.

“At least you’ve got an easier road ahead.” Ashley told him. “Some new hair, random boners, and a unnatural lust for feminine flesh,” She teased.

“Doesn’t sound easy when you put it that way.”

“When Beth got her first period she though she was going to die, all the blood and cramps.” Ashley shuddered at the though. “I’m not looking forward to that.”

“You know an awful lot about this.” Nick added from his seat at the table.

“Of course I do, I’VE got an older sister,” she beamed with pride, “Mom tried to give me the talk earlier this year but she just stuttered and stammered at me. She got some of the important words out and I found out the rest at the library.”

Sara, without looking up, poked fun at her friend, “of course you’d go straight to the library.”

Ashley ignored her, “when Beth came home last week she filled in all the gory details.” She paused and gestured at Sara, “she filled me in on her experiences too.”

Sara just made a hmph noise and turned away to bury herself in her magazine.

The group had gotten used to Ashley being their teacher on a lot of different topics. Even though she was the youngest of the group, nearly a year behind Will and Sara, she was definitely the smartest.

“Sara had that happen too?” Will’s eyes were wide with wonder. His eyes moved over Sara’s body. Gone was the skinny kid he remembered and in her place was a woman with a large chest and wide hips to match. He started to imagine her sprawled out like the girls in the magazine followed by an unsubtle attempt to adjust his growing penis.

“Look. You’re starting already.” Ashley pointed out.

Will became obviously embarrassed.

“It’s ok. This is Woodland!” She proclaimed. “There’s no judgment here.”

“Do you two have hair like the girls in the magazine?” He asked once he realized that Ashley’s comment gave him free reign to ask whatever he wanted.

“I don’t. But she does.” She nodded towards Sara.

Sara looked over at them with a somewhat sarcastic smirk before going back to her magazine.

“He’s obsessed with the hair ever since we looked at that magazine.” Nick added.

“I’m just glad I’m not the only one without any.” Will noted.

Sara was anxious to change the conversation. She wouldn’t admit it out loud but the discussion was causing her to get excited and she couldn’t focus on her magazine. She didn’t want to tell the boys about the changes to her body, but she really didn’t mind Ashley getting them all worked up.

“So what did Beth tell you about?” She asked, finally trying to change the subject. Ashley had originally brought her out here to talk about something and it had been in the back of her mind ever since.

Ashley looked back and forth between the boys then replied, “I’ll tell you later.”

“What happened to ‘no judgement here’” Nick mentioned.

Ashley sighed. “She told me about masturbation and I was going to tell Sara what she told me.”

Everyone was looking at Ashley now, even Sara. The word wasn’t unfamiliar to any of them, but no one truly knew what it meant.

“It’s what the boys were doing when we got here.”
