Their time at the beach had proved to be fun. It was nice to get away from the school work and the tension of school living. For a brief time, things were just like they had been at home; no nudity, no exposure, just a group of teens at the beach. A few seemed to be paired off, like boyfriend/girlfriend, but that was normal too. They enjoyed their little break but soon it was time to go back to reality.

Upon their return, Beth and Nick walked into their room. Both still had studying to do. Without much thought, Beth reached behind her neck and undid the tie of her swim suit. She pushed it down, pulled her robe from her closet, and put it on without bothering with any other clothing. When she looked up, she saw Nick just standing there and looking at her. He still had his swim suit on. He almost seemed to be in a daze.

�What?� she asked.

Nick jumped slightly when she spoke. �Ah� um� nothing,� he mumbled as he turned away from her.

Beth stared at him for a moment. He dropped his swim suit to the floor and grabbed his boxer briefs. She wasn�t really looking at his nudity but more studying him, trying to figure out why he hadn�t changed when she had. Suddenly it dawned on her � he had been watching her. Granted, he had seen her many times before but she had never had the feeling of �being watched� and it was something new. It made her feel a little uneasy. He had almost been transformed into �one of the girls� in her mind. He didn�t look like a girl but he didn�t �act� like a boy to her either.

She pondered the situation for a while. Something seemed different now. Nick had become a boy to her all of a sudden, and she was a girl. Although still covered by her robe, Beth now felt naked instead of just undressed. There was another difference too. Nick, being a boy, was becoming sexual to her. He wasn�t just a roommate. He was a boy sharing a room with her.

Beth forced the thoughts from her mind. She had studying to do. Nick had dressed completely and was at his desk, completely ignoring her. He was now acting the same as he always had, but Beth sensed things might be different now. Her attention turned to her books.

The scrape of Nick�s chair on the floor made her look up. �I gotta go to the bathroom,� he said. Although partners were supposed to stay together, sometimes a lone person would go to the bathroom. It was acceptable as their partner could be studying, sleeping, or otherwise unavailable to accompany them. Beth usually took advantage of the break and would go with him, using the bathroom at the same time. This time she didn�t.

Nick hesitated, waiting for Beth to stand evidently. When she didn�t, he walked out of the room alone. Beth, now being by herself, tried to sort out her feelings. Nick probably had done nothing differently than he had ever done before and Beth couldn�t understand why she felt different. For some unknown reason, she didn�t want Nick to see her naked now.

Beth stood and walked to her drawers. She opened her underwear drawer and chose the most conservative ones she had. They were still bikini style, but not sheer like some she had. Letting her robe fall open, Beth stepped into them. As she pulled them up, Nick entered the room.

�Why are you getting dressed?� he questioned.

Beth couldn�t think of an excuse she could give him. How was she supposed to say she didn�t want him to look at her now after he had seen her so many times before? �Ah� um� I was going to take a walk,� she stuttered. She hadn�t planned to leave the room but it was the only thing that came to mind.

�OK,� Nick accepted.

It then hit Beth she couldn�t go out walking wearing nothing but a pair of panties and a robe; she�d have to finish getting dressed. That meant removing her robe, exposing her breasts. Beth tried to think of a way to dress and not expose herself. There wasn�t any way to do that though. Even if she forgoed her bra, something she had never done before, she would still have to take her robe off. She decided to do that though. She knew she could put a top on much quicker that she could put a bra on. If she had to expose herself, the least time she was open the better.

Beth grabbed the first top her hand hit. As the robe slipped off one arm, she stuffed it into the top. The robe hardly had hit the floor before she was pulling the top down over her breasts. Quickly she stepped into a pair of shorts, pulling them up to cover herself. A sigh of relief went through her now that she felt covered, until she noticed her top.

She had grabbed what was probably her thinnest and tightest top. She may have been covered but her breasts were neatly outlined. Her nipples poked out proudly. Beth had never thought of herself as well endowed but now she felt like her chest was huge. Her nipples felt like flashing beacons crying for attention. Trying her best to ignore everything, Beth turned and walked out of the room.

Nick followed his partner out of the room. She walked down the hall without waiting for him or even acknowledging the fact he was with her. Out the door of the dorm the two went into the darkness. Beth still hadn�t spoken or even looked at him. �What�s wrong?� Nick finally asked.

Beth stopped but remained silent. She was trying to put into words what she was feeling. �You looked at me,� she finally mumbled.

�What?� Nick asked, now completely confused.

�In the room� you watched me undress,� Beth explained.

Nick looked at her very puzzled. �What are you talking about? We�ve both seen each other hundreds of times.�

�I know� I�m all confused. It�s not your fault; it�s me. I just felt funny when you watched me undress. Oh, Nick, I know it�s not you,� Beth explained.

�Are you afraid I�ll hurt you or something?� Nick wondered.

�No� yes� oh, I don�t know,� Beth blurted.

�I�d never hurt you. I like you,� Nick admitted. �You�re kinda special to me. I like looking at you � you�re pretty. I, um��

He stopped in mid sentence. Suddenly it hit Beth what the difference was. She liked him too. �If we weren�t partners and stuff, would you ask me out on a date?�

Nick looked at her and blushed. As he did, he nodded.

Beth glanced around. They were in center campus and under a tree. There was no one else around and very little light but enough to see each other. As quickly as things changed before, they seemed to change again. Instead of wanting to hide from Nick, Beth wanted him to see her.

She thought for a moment and then brought her hands to the bottom edge of her top. Slowly she lifted it to her neck, exposing her tits to Nick. She reached out and took his hand. Nervously she pulled it to her chest. Beth took a deep breath before placing Nick�s hand on her tit. At first he pulled away slightly but she held him, preventing his drawing away. Soon the pressure of his pulling ceased.

Beth looked at Nick and smiled. His hand, still being covered with hers, rested on her breast. He smiled back at her. She dropped her hand to her side, confident Nick would leave his hand where it was. She had been touched by him before but always for school work. It was more of an examination than anything else. This was different. Nick was touching her sexually. It both frightened her a little and excited her. Granted, she had initiated the action but the first time for anything was a little unsettling.

Her nipple hardened under his palm. It felt strange to have a little pebble being pushed into her tit as Nick gently pushed his hand onto her. Except for the slight increase in pressure, Nick didn�t move for a while. Beth began to wonder if she had done anything wrong. She thought boys would jump at the chance to maul a girl�s breasts but Nick wasn�t doing anything.

Nick soon began to move his hand. Little shocks went through Beth�s body as Nick started gently squeezing her tit. That damp feeling began between her legs. Her nipple seemed to poke out even further. He brought his other hand to her free tit. Beth felt those little flutters in her stomach as both her tits began to be rubbed. Her breathing began to get deeper.

Beth was getting more aroused by the moment. She could feel the wetness in her panties as they began to stick to the skin around her slit. She looked at Nick�s crotch and noticed his erection straining against his jeans. She wanted to touch it but couldn�t find enough courage to be that bold. Instead the image of his erection replayed in her mind. She tried to recall what it felt like the few times she had touched it, but she had been so nerved up, the whole thing seemed like a blur.

Nick�s rubbing was getting more animated. He twirled her nipples between his fingertips making her weak in the knees. He had just recently done the same thing during one of their anatomy classes but that had been embarrassing to her. This was arousing. Her need to climax was getting more intense.

Taking the risk of disappointing Nick, Beth pulled her top back down. Nick�s hands remained on her tits though. Reluctant to make him stop, Beth let him continue to rub her. She was beginning to loose control though. Her pussy was wetter than she ever remembered it being and the urge to grab Nick�s cock and pull it out of his pants was getting greater.

Beth reached up to Nick�s hands and hesitantly pulled them from her heaving chest. Immediately she felt that �missing something� feeling. She almost placed them back again but wasn�t prepared to go any further, at least not there, out in the open in the center of the campus.

�Let�s go back to the room,� she whispered.

Nick looked disappointed and then another expression overtook his face. �Sorry. I guess I got a little carried away,� he apologized. In reality he hadn�t intended to be sexual with Beth. She was special to him and he wasn�t willing to risk her wrath just for a little thrill. The feeling of her small but well formed breasts had actually been the first he had ever touched, except for school naturally. At this point they were the only ones too. It was more than just feeling a girl up though. The breasts were Beth�s.

�That�s OK� I liked what you did,� Beth smiled.

Her top was still hung up on her tits. Beth let Nick look at them a little while longer before she finally reached up and adjusted the garment. Although now covered, her nipples protruded noticeable from her top. Beth blushed slightly. �Look what you�ve done��

�They�re trying to get closer to me,� Nick teased, as a big grin formed on his face.

Beth�s eyes dropped momentarily. �If he only knew,� she thought. She looked back up at him. He was not grinning anymore, just smiling pleasantly. She couldn�t resist. Beth wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

She had kissed a boy before but it had never been like this. Her lips pressed against his. She could feel his erection against her belly. He seemed to be hard all the time but this time he was hard because of her. She liked that. Trying to be less than completely obvious, Beth pushed against the hard object in Nick�s pants. As she did, he pushed back. She knew he realized what she had done but it wasn�t important. His hard cock was her stamp of approval.

Reluctantly Beth broke off the kiss and inched away from Nick�s body. �Let�s go back to the room,� she repeated.

�OK,� Nick agreed.

He didn�t seem disappointed this time, which disappointed her a little. She turned and started walking. Suddenly she felt him take her hand. He smiled at her and the two headed, hand in hand, toward the dorm.
