Lazy Afternoon in College

It was a lazy Saturday afternoon at St. Ann’s College of Engineering. The programming lab was always packed on weekdays, so second-year students Sirisha, Sujith, Ramya, and Swathi had made it a weekend ritual to come in and practise for the upcoming internals. By 2 p.m. their eyes were burning from staring at screens, and their stomachs were louder than the old lab fans.

“Let’s eat first, code later,” Ramya announced, shutting down her system. The others happily agreed.

The campus was almost empty (most students had gone home for the weekend), so the canteen was quiet. They grabbed four plates of veg biryani, found a corner table, and demolished the food while pulling each other’s legs about how badly they were going to fail Monday’s paper.

After lunch, with no hurry to get back to the lab, they wandered out behind the canteen, enjoying the breeze and the rare peace. That’s when they spotted the old blue college bus parked near the basketball court, doors wide open, driver nowhere in sight (probably gone for tea).

Ramya’s eyes lit up. “Come on, last bench for five minutes. No one’s here!”

They climbed in laughing and took over the entire back row like they owned it. Sirisha sat by the window, white chikankari kurti glowing in the sunlight, dupatta slipping off one shoulder. Swathi squeezed in beside her, Ramya and Sujith opposite.

Conversation drifted from internals to movies, and because Ramya could never let anything stay innocent, it quickly turned to the usual gossip about actresses and casting couches.

Ramya leaned forward, lowering her voice with a naughty grin. “Half these heroines just sleep around and get the role, I swear.”

Swathi gasped and giggled behind her palms.

Ramya wasn’t done. “Okay, real question… Sirisha, be honest. Have you ever even kissed anyone?”

Sirisha’s ears went hot. Chi! Never.

Swathi, cheeks pink, couldn’t hold back. “Ramya… how does it actually feel?”

Ramya bit her lip like she was remembering something delicious. “My boyfriend… the way he kisses… tongue inside, hands roaming… I get completely wet just thinking about it.”

Swathi squeaked and buried her face in her dupatta.

God, why is she so shameless? But… I want to know too.

Sirisha felt a sudden throb between her thighs and pressed them together under her kurti, hoping no one noticed.

Sujith, who had been quietly eating his last spoon of curd rice, suddenly cleared his throat dramatically.

“Hello, ladies? There’s a living, breathing guy sitting right here, you know.”

The girls burst out laughing.

Ramya waved him off. “Arre Sujith, you’re like our brother only. Zero danger.”

Sujith turned, mock-offended. “Brother? I have hormones too, okay!”

Swathi, still blushing, teased, “Oh yeah? So you never have any bad thoughts about us?”

Sujith’s gaze slid across the narrow aisle and landed directly on Sirisha. His voice dropped, playful but with an edge that made the air thicken.

“Swathi? Not even in my dreams. But Sirisha…”

He let the pause hang, eyes tracing her lips for a heartbeat too long.

“I’d definitely love to kiss Sirisha.”

For two full seconds the bus went completely silent.

Then Ramya and Swathi exploded into delighted “Ooooooo!” and giggles, treating it like typical boy banter.

Sirisha laughed too, but it came out shaky. Because the way he said it, the way his eyes never left hers, it didn’t feel like a joke at all. Why is my heart racing? Why does it feel like he means it?

Ramya, sensing blood in the water, leaned forward, voice silky and teasing. “Arre Sujith… what if Sirisha actually agreed to that kiss? Just one tiny kiss… no big deal, right Sirisha?”

Swathi’s eyes went wide, half-shocked, half-thrilled.

Ramya turned to Sirisha, grinning like the devil herself. “Come on, Sirisha… it’s just one small kiss. Totally harmless… right?”

Sirisha opened her mouth to protest, but no sound came out.

Across the narrow aisle, Sujith was still watching her, waiting, that tiny, dangerous smirk playing at the corner of his lips.

The bus was completely empty.

The campus was completely silent.

And deep between Sirisha’s thighs, her pussy gave another helpless, aching throb, as if it had already made the decision for her.

The silence stretched, thick as the afternoon heat.

Sirisha’s heart hammered so loudly she was sure everyone could hear it. Her fingers twisted in the soft cotton of her kurti, knuckles white. She tried to laugh it off, but the sound caught in her throat and came out breathy instead.

Sujith didn’t move. He just sat there, one arm draped casually along the back of the seat, the other resting on his thigh, watching her like he already knew what she tasted like.

Ramya’s grin widened. “Sirisha… don’t be boring yaar. One kiss. We’ll even close our eyes if you want.”

Swathi squeaked again, but this time she didn’t hide her face. She was staring, lips parted, cheeks flaming.

Sirisha swallowed. You guys are crazy.

But her voice cracked on the last word.

Sujith finally shifted. Slowly. Deliberately. He slid across the narrow aisle until his knee brushed hers. The contact was light, innocent-except it burned straight through her leggings and into her skin.

He leaned in, close enough that she could smell the faint trace of clove from the paan he’d had after lunch, mixed with something warmer, something him.

“Just one,” he murmured, so low only she could hear. “And if you hate it, I’ll never bring it up again.”

His hand lifted-slow, giving her every chance to pull away-and settled lightly on her jaw, thumb brushing the corner of her mouth.

Sirisha’s breath hitched.

She didn’t pull away.

The second his lips touched hers, soft and testing, her eyes fluttered shut. It was barely pressure at first, warm and careful, like he was giving her one last out.

Then she sighed-small, helpless-and he took it as permission.

His mouth opened over hers, tongue sliding in slow and filthy, tasting her like he’d waited years. One hand cupped the back of her neck, the other dropped to her waist, fingers curling into the fabric of her kurti hard enough to pull her closer.

Sirisha made a soft sound into his mouth, half-moan, half-whimper. Her hands came up on instinct-one gripping his t-shirt, the other sliding into his hair.

Ramya whispered, “Holy shit,” like she couldn’t believe it was actually happening.

Swathi just stared, thighs pressed tight together, breathing fast.

Sujith angled Sirisha’s head, deepening the kiss, tongue stroking hers in slow, deliberate thrusts that made her clit pulse in time. When he sucked lightly on her lower lip and let it go with a soft pop, she chased his mouth without thinking, needy.

He smiled against her lips, smug and sweet at once, then kissed her again-harder this time, possessive. His hand slipped from her waist to the small of her back, pressing her body into his until she felt the hard line of him against her thigh.

Sirisha’s pussy clenched, soaked now, the damp patch in her panties spreading. She couldn’t stop the tiny rock of her hips, grinding once-just once-against his thigh.

Sujith groaned into her mouth, grip tightening.

When they finally broke apart, both breathing hard, Sirisha’s lips were swollen and shining. Her dupatta had slipped completely off, pooled in her lap like surrender.

Ramya let out a low whistle. “Well. That wasn’t a ‘tiny harmless kiss’.”

Swathi looked like she might faint-or climb over the seat and demand equal time.

Sujith didn’t look at them. He was still staring at Sirisha, thumb tracing her wet lower lip, voice rough.

“Still just one kiss?” he asked.

Sirisha’s answer was a shaky laugh… and the way she leaned in again, hungry, already addicted.

The bus creaked around them, old metal and older secrets.

And outside, the lazy Saturday afternoon stretched on-quiet, golden, and suddenly, unbearably hot.

The four of them stumbled out of the bus ten minutes later, cheeks flushed, hair messy, trying (and failing) to act normal. The sun felt hotter than before, like it knew exactly what they’d been doing.

They ended up on the low stone wall behind the canteen, half-hidden by a row of hibiscus bushes. Sujith sat a little distance away, pretending to scroll his phone, but his eyes kept flicking over.

Ramya flopped down beside Sirisha, fanning herself with her dupatta. “Okay, spill. Every single detail. How was it?”

Sirisha pressed her palms to her burning cheeks. “Ramya… shut up.”

But please, I need to tell someone.

“No chance,” Ramya laughed, nudging her with her shoulder. “Your lips are literally swollen. And I saw tongue. Lots of tongue.”

Sirisha groaned, but a shy, giddy smile broke through. “It was… intense. Like… I forgot where I was. He tastes like clove and something sweet and… and his hand was on my neck and…” She bit her lip, thighs squeezing together at the memory. “I got so wet, Ramya. Like embarrassingly wet. I’m scared to stand up right now.”

Ramya’s eyes went wide, delighted. “Yaar, you proper made out! I’m proud and jealous at the same time.” She glanced at Sujith, then back. “Did he get hard? I felt something when you were grinding on his thigh.”

Sirisha hid her face in her hands. “Yes! So hard. I thought I was going to die.”

They both burst into breathless laughter, the kind that only happens when you’re nineteen and everything feels like the end of the world and the beginning of it at once.

Swathi had been quiet the whole time, sitting cross-legged on the wall, twisting the end of her long braid around her finger. Her face was still scarlet, eyes glassy-eyed. Every time Sirisha said the word “wet” or “hard,” Swathi’s breath hitched.

Finally she couldn’t take it anymore.

She scooted closer, voice small and trembling with nerves and something else.

“Um… guys?”

Ramya raised an eyebrow. “Yes, virgin Mary?”

Swathi swallowed. “I… I’ve never kissed anyone either. And… watching you two…” She glanced at Sujith, then quickly away, cheeks on fire. “It looked… really nice. Like… really, really nice.”

Sirisha’s eyes softened. Ramya’s grin turned wicked.

Swathi took a shaky breath. “Sujith… would you… I mean, only if you want… could I… try too? Just once? So I know what it feels like?”

The air went still.

Sujith looked up from his phone. For a second he seemed stunned, then something dark and hungry flashed across his face.

He stood slowly, pocketing the phone, and walked over until he was standing in front of Swathi. She had to tilt her head back to meet his eyes.

“You sure?” he asked, voice low.

Swathi nodded, barely a movement. “Please.”

Ramya let out a soft, evil little “hehhh” and leaned back on her hands like she’d bought front-row tickets.

Sujith reached down, cupped Swathi’s chin gently, thumb brushing her lower lip exactly the way he had with Sirisha.

Swathi’s eyes fluttered closed.

He bent and kissed her-slower than he’d kissed Sirisha at first, giving her time to adjust. Her lips parted on a tiny gasp, and he slid in, soft and warm and patient.

Within seconds Swathi melted. Her hands came up to clutch his t-shirt, pulling him closer. A soft, desperate whimper escaped her when his tongue stroked hers.

Sirisha watched, lips parted, feeling that throb between her legs start again.

Ramya whispered, “Look at our little Swathi go…”

Sujith deepened the kiss, one hand sliding into Swathi’s hair, the other settling on her waist. Swathi arched into him without thinking, pressing her chest to his, making the sweetest, neediest sound.

When he finally pulled back, Swathi’s glasses were fogged, her lips cherry-red and trembling.

She stared up at him, dazed. “Oh my god.”

Sujith smiled, tender and a little smug. “Good?”

Swathi could only nod, breathless.

Ramya clapped once, gleeful. “Welcome to the club, baby.”

Swathi turned to Sirisha, eyes shining. “You were right. I’m… I’m soaked. Like actually dripping.”

Sirisha laughed, reaching over to squeeze her hand. “Told you.”

Sujith looked between the two of them-both flushed, both staring at him like he was something edible-and exhaled slowly.

Ramya raised an eyebrow at him. “Careful, lover boy. You keep kissing us like that, we might not let you leave this campus ever again.”

Sujith’s grin was slow, dangerous. “Who said I want to?”

The four of them were still sitting on the low wall, the air thick with the smell of hibiscus and teenage hormones, when Ramya suddenly crossed her arms and pouted theatrically.

“Hello? Am I just the live-porn director here? I started this whole thing and now I’m sitting here like a bloody audience?”

Sirisha laughed, still dazed. “You have Karthik, remember? Long-distance loyal girlfriend and all that.”

Ramya rolled her eyes so hard it was audible. “Karthik is in Hyderabad, busy with his internship and his ‘I’m so tired’ excuses. Meanwhile I just watched two of my best friends get tongue-fucked in broad daylight. I’m literally throbbing, guys. My panties are a swimming pool. Long-distance doesn’t keep you dry when you’re this horny.”

Swathi, still glassy-eyed from her own kiss, whispered, “So… do it. He already kissed both of us.”

Ramya looked at Sujith. Sujith looked back, eyebrows raised, trying (and failing) to look innocent.

Ramya bit her lip. “Fuck it. One kiss won’t kill my relationship status.”

Sirisha glanced around nervously. “Not here, ya. Someone might come behind the canteen also.”

Sujith cleared his throat. “Civil block. Fourth floor. Final-year classrooms. Zero chance anyone shows up on Saturday. Half the civil batch is on internship in Chennai or Bangalore, and the rest went home yesterday. Even the watchman doesn’t climb that high.”

Ramya was already standing. “Lead the way, mister.”

Five minutes later they were pushing open the creaky wooden door of Room 404, Civil Engineering block. Dust motes floated in the slanting sunlight. The room smelled of old chalk and warm wood. Last bench by the window, as always, felt like it belonged to them.

They dropped their bags, pulled out random textbooks and notebooks-just in case-and spread them on the benches like the world’s flimsiest alibi.

Ramya didn’t waste time.

She grabbed Sujith’s collar, yanked him close, and kissed him like she was starving. No shy first-second hesitation like the way Sirisha and Swathi had-Ramya kissed like she already knew exactly what she wanted. Tongue first, teeth grazing his lower lip, a soft filthy moan in her throat the moment he kissed her back.

Sirisha and Swathi perched on the next bench, pretending to flip pages, but their eyes were glued.

Ramya’s hands went straight under his t-shirt, nails dragging up his back. Sujith groaned into her mouth. She smiled against his lips, then let one hand slide lower-over the waistband of his jeans, palming the very obvious, very hard bulge straining against the denim.

“Fuck, Sujith,” she whispered, loud enough for the others to hear. “You’re huge.”

Swathi squeaked. Sirisha’s thighs pressed together again.

Ramya popped the button of his jeans with practiced fingers, tugged the zipper down slowly, teasingly. Sujith’s breath stuttered. He glanced nervously at the door, then back at Ramya.

She slipped her hand inside his boxer briefs and wrapped her fingers around him-hot, velvet-hard, thick enough that her fingers didn’t quite meet.

Sujith’s head fell back, a low “shit…” escaping him.

Ramya’s eyes went wide, then wicked. She gave one slow stroke from root to tip, thumb swiping over the bead of pre-cum already leaking.

“Seven inches on the dot,” she announced to her spellbound audience, voice husky. “And this is the first time any girl has ever touched him. Right, baby?”

Sujith could only nod, hips jerking helplessly into her grip.

Ramya started a slow, deliberate rhythm-tight, twisting strokes that made his thighs tremble. With her other hand she pulled him into another messy kiss, swallowing every shaky breath he gave her.

Sirisha whispered, “Ramya… you’re evil.”

Ramya broke the kiss just long enough to grin over her shoulder. “Jealous?”

Sirisha’s answer was a tiny, needy whimper.

Swathi had one hand pressed between her own legs now, over her salwar, rocking almost imperceptibly.

Ramya kept stroking, faster, murmuring filthy praise against Sujith’s mouth-“So hard for us… feels good, doesn’t it?… gonna come in my hand, baby?”-until his hips started thrusting in short, desperate snaps.

Thirty seconds later Sujith came with a choked groan, pulsing hot and thick over Ramya’s fingers and his own stomach, knees nearly buckling.

Ramya milked him gently through it, then pulled her hand out, looked at the mess on her fingers, and-without breaking eye contact with Sirisha and Swathi-licked one stripe up her middle finger.

“Tastes like trouble,” she said, grinning.

Sujith sagged against the bench, dazed and half-hard still, jeans around his thighs.

Ramya wiped the rest on his t-shirt, patted his cheek affectionately, then turned to the girls.

“Your turn to clean him up if you want seconds. I just wanted the first handful.”

She flopped into a chair like a satisfied royalty, legs spread shamelessly, wetness visible even through her dark leggings.

The classroom was dead silent except for four sets of ragged breathing and the lazy hum of a distant fan.

Outside in the corridor, nothing moved.

Saturday had never felt so endless.

The dust in Room 404 settled back into stillness, broken only by the soft slap of Ramya wiping her sticky fingers on the hem of Sujith’s t-shirt and the ragged breathing of four people who had just crossed a line they could never uncross.

Ramya leaned back in the teacher’s chair, legs spread wide, the dark patch on her leggings now impossible to ignore. She looked like a queen who had just claimed her throne.

“Relax, babies,” she said, voice lazy and satisfied. “I came prepared.”

She dug into the front pocket of her sling bag and pulled out a small silver strip of emergency contraceptive pills, waving it like a winning lottery ticket. “One each after we’re done. No accidents, no drama.”

Sirisha and Swathi stared at the pills, then at each other, then at Sujith-who was still half-hard, jeans around his thighs, looking like he’d been hit by lightning.

Swathi’s voice came out tiny. “You… you mean… actually…?”

Ramya’s smile softened, just a little. “Only if you want. No pressure. But if you’re going to lose it to anyone, let it be someone who already cares about you. And,” she glanced at Sujith with pure mischief, “someone who clearly has enough to go around.”

Sirisha’s hands were trembling in her lap. She looked at Sujith, eyes huge behind the strands of hair that had escaped her ponytail.

“I’m scared,” she whispered.

Sujith found his voice. “We don’t have to-”

“I want to,” Sirisha cut in, surprising herself. “I really, really want to. I just… don’t know how.”

Ramya stood up, suddenly gentle. She moved behind Sirisha, rested her hands on her shoulders. “I’ll help. We’ll all help. Slow, okay? Nothing hurts.”

She looked at Swathi. “You too, baby. When you’re ready.”

Swathi nodded so fast her glasses slipped down her nose.

Ramya took charge like she was born for it.

First, the practical things: she locked the classroom door, dragged two benches together in the far corner to make a wider space, and spread Sujith’s spare hoodie like a makeshift sheet. Then she dimmed the lights by pulling half the blinds. Afternoon sun turned golden and soft.

She made Sujith sit on the edge of the bench, jeans finally off, boxers kicked aside. His cock was already thickening again, seven inches curving up against his stomach, still glistening from earlier.

Ramya knelt in front of Sirisha first.

“Breathe,” she murmured, unbuttoning Sirisha’s kurti one slow button at a time. The white chikankari fell open, revealing a simple cream bra already straining. Ramya kissed Sirisha’s collarbone, then turned her around so Sujith could see.

“Touch her,” Ramya told him softly. “Slow.”

Sujith reached out, hands shaking a little, and cupped Sirisha’s breasts over the bra. She gasped, arching into him. He unhooked it with clumsy fingers; the bra fell away. Her nipples were dark and tight, begging.

He leaned in and took one in his mouth gently, swirling his tongue. Sirisha moaned, fingers threading into his hair.

Ramya slid Sirisha’s leggings and panties down in one motion. Sirisha stepped out of them, trembling. Between her thighs she was glistening, swollen, ready.

Ramya guided her forward until she was straddling Sujith’s lap, knees on the bench on either side of him.

“Look at him,” Ramya whispered in Sirisha’s ear. “Tell him.”

Sirisha’s voice cracked. “I want you inside me. Please.”

Sujith groaned like he’d been punched. Ramya reached between them, wrapped her fingers around his cock, lined him up. She rubbed the head through Sirisha’s slick folds once, twice, until Sirisha was whimpering and rocking forward.

“Slow,” Ramya reminded.

Sirisha sank down-an inch, then two. Her breath hitched at the stretch. Sujith’s hands gripped her hips, holding her still, letting her adjust.

“So tight,” he rasped.

Ramya kissed the back of Sirisha’s neck. “Breathe out… and take the rest.”

Sirisha exhaled shakily and slid the rest of the way down until he was buried to the hilt. They both moaned, foreheads pressed together.

For a long minute they just stayed like that-joined, trembling, breathing each other in.

Then Sirisha started to move-tiny rolls of her hips at first, testing. Sujith’s head fell back, eyes squeezed shut.

Ramya watched with soft eyes, one hand slipping between her own legs, rubbing slow circles over her soaked leggings.

Sirisha found a rhythm-slow, deep grinds that dragged the head of his cock against her front wall again and again. Her moans grew louder, broken.

Sujith’s hips started to answer, gentle thrusts up to meet her. The benches creaked softly beneath them.

Swathi sat nearby, knees drawn up, one hand inside her own salwar now, biting her lip so hard it went white.

Sirisha’s pace quickened. Her nails dug into Sujith’s shoulders.

Sirisha was trembling so hard her thighs shook against Sujith’s hips.

She had taken all of him, but now she was frozen, eyes wide, breathing in tiny panicked gasps.

“I… I feel something… weird,” she whispered, voice cracking. “Like… pressure… too much… I don’t know what’s-”

Ramya was already there, sliding in behind her, chest to Sirisha’s back. She wrapped one arm gently around Sirisha’s waist and rested her chin on her shoulder.

“Shh, baby, that’s your orgasm coming,” Ramya murmured right against her ear, soft and soothing. “It’s supposed to feel scary-big the first time. Just let it happen. We’ve got you.”

Sirisha whimpered, hips jerking without rhythm.

Ramya slipped her hand down between Sirisha and Sujith, fingers finding the swollen little clit peeking out above where they were joined. She started slow circles-light, steady pressure.

“Feel that? That’s the magic button,” Ramya whispered, smiling against Sirisha’s neck. “Breathe… and when it crashes, scream if you want. No one’s here but us.”

Sujith stayed perfectly still inside her, letting Ramya set the pace. His thumbs stroked Sirisha’s hips in slow, grounding sweeps.

Ten seconds of those gentle circles and Sirisha’s entire body locked up.

Her mouth opened in a silent O, then a broken cry tore out of her as the orgasm slammed into her like a wave she’d never seen coming. Her pussy clenched hard around Sujith in rhythmic spasms, again and again, so strong he groaned at the squeeze.

Ramya kept stroking softly, drawing it out until Sirisha was shaking uncontrollably, tears leaking from the corners of her eyes, little hiccupping sobs of shock and pleasure.

When it finally ebbed, Sirisha sagged forward onto Sujith’s chest, trembling from head to toe, aftershocks still rippling through her every few seconds.

Ramya kissed the back of her sweaty neck. “Welcome to the club, princess. First one’s always a earthquake.”

Swathi watched the whole thing with huge eyes, one hand pressed between her own thighs, breathing already shallow.

When it was her turn, she was quieter-almost reverent.

They laid her down the same way, head in Sirisha’s lap (Sirisha still shivering every so often, stroking Swathi’s hair with unsteady fingers).

Sujith kissed every inch of Swathi’s body before he even touched between her legs-slow, worshipful, like he was memorising her. By the time he pushed inside she was sobbing softly, not from pain but from overwhelming fullness.

He moved in long, lazy strokes, letting her feel everything.

Halfway through, Swathi started making tiny confused little sounds-half-moan, half-scared.

Ramya knelt beside her head this time, brushing damp hair off her forehead.

“You’re climbing, sweetheart,” she said gently. “It’s going to feel like you’re going to pee or explode or both. That’s normal. Just ride it.”

Swathi’s glasses had slid down her nose; her eyes were glassy behind the lenses.

Ramya reached down, but instead of rubbing, she simply rested two fingers lightly on Swathi’s clit and pressed in slow pulses-matching Sujith’s thrusts.

Swathi’s orgasm came softer than Sirisha’s, but deeper-a long, rolling wave instead of a crash. Her back bowed off the hoodie, a high, thin cry escaping her as she clenched around Sujith in slow, milking pulls.

She didn’t scream. She sighed his name like a prayer, over and over, thighs trembling around his hips, tears sliding into her hair.

Sujith let himself go then, burying deep and spilling inside her with a shudder.

When he pulled out, Swathi’s legs stayed open, tiny aftershocks making her hips twitch every few seconds.

Ramya’s turn was different-no guidance needed.

She climbed on, sank down, and rode him hard and greedy from the first stroke. She came loud and fast, grinding down with filthy praise.

But even she, after she rolled off laughing and boneless, reached over and laced her fingers with Sirisha’s still-shaking ones.

The four of them lay in a sweaty, trembling heap.

Sirisha was still shivering-quietly, helplessly-shivering every minute or so, a soft full-body ripple she couldn’t control. Swathi’s thighs twitched every time she breathed too deep.

Ramya passed the pills and water with steady hands, but her voice was tender now. “Drink, babies. Then we cuddle until you both stop shaking.”

Outside, the sun slipped lower, turning the dusty windows bronze.

Inside Room 404, three girls who had never come before that afternoon discovered that sometimes the first orgasm rewires you forever-and one very lucky boy held them through every last tremor, whispering thank you like he couldn’t believe this was real.

Saturday still had a few hours left.

None of them were in any hurry to move.

The light had turned soft and orange when they finally stirred.

No one spoke much. They just moved like they’d done this a hundred times: passing the half-empty water bottle, sharing tissues Ramya magically produced from her bag, gentle hands helping fasten bras, smoothing down kurtis, finding lost hair-ties.

Sujith pulled his hoodie back on (now smelling like all four of them) and zipped his jeans with shaky fingers. Sirisha’s legs still trembled every time she tried to stand; Swathi had to lean on Ramya while stepping into her salwar.

Ramya tied Sirisha’s dupatta for her, fingers soft. “Still shivering, baby?”

Sirisha nodded, laughing watery. “I can’t stop.”

“Good,” Ramya whispered, kissing her forehead. “Means it was perfect.”

Sujith crouched in front of Swathi to fix her glasses that had gone crooked, then pressed a tiny kiss to the tip of her nose. She smiled, shy and glowing.

They packed the “evidence” (hoodie, tissues, empty water bottle) into Ramya’s sling bag like a ritual. Books went back into bags, benches pushed neatly into place, blinds lifted just enough so the room looked innocent again.

Last thing: Ramya unlocked the door, peeked out. Empty corridor, golden and quiet.

They slipped out single file, footsteps soft on the dusty stairs.

On the ground floor, Sujith offered both arms. Sirisha took the left, Swathi the right, Ramya looped her arms around all three from behind, chin on Sujith’s shoulder.

The four of them walked like that across the empty campus (slow, tangled, giggling every time Sirisha’s knees wobbled and set off another tiny shiver).

At the college gate the town bus was waiting, engine idling.

They climbed in, claimed the long back seat again, bodies pressed close.

Sirisha finally stopped trembling somewhere between the third speed-breaker and the railway crossing.

Swathi fell asleep on Sujith’s shoulder.

Ramya rested her head on Sirisha’s, whispering, “Same time next Saturday?”

Four quiet smiles answered her.

The bus rolled toward the town lights, carrying four very new, very secret lovers home, hearts racing, clothes straightened, but the smell of sex and happiness still clinging sweetly to their skin.
