In the second year at uni Sam and Gabby had gone to a party off campus, when they were walking back Gabby had taken Sam’s hand, Sam didn’t resist and before they knew it they were kissing in a doorway close to the taxi rank.  They got back to the halls and stayed in Sam’s flat overnight.  They had stayed together up until Gabby had got a job in Dubi, Sam had not wanted to go so they parted company.  The police force had given Sam a few girlfriends on the short term, the one before Cat was the longest but when Sam had got home from a confrence a day early and found Izzy in bed with a man she had collected her stuff together and moved out to her friends house for a month before applying for a promotion in Glasgow, she had been waiting for a DS job to come up in Leicester were she was living with Izzy but now she had nothing to lose.

She had kept a diary up until the end of her uni life they were full of mundain boring days nothing like the diaries of her year 11 era, they were her dawning the realisation and initiation on the road that was her life.  She had lost two girlfriends tragically one she hoped was still alive and happy now and one now dead.  She thanked God for Lexi who she had now been married to for 4 years and everything was perfect, she had passed her exams at work was promoted a year ago and everything was going great until her little falling out with a frozen puddle.

Lexi fell in the door exhausted after 9 and they orded a take away, Sam read some of the diaries to her, “F*** you were a real rampent teenager, sex on tap lucky you, but so sad what happened, did you ever hear from her again?”

“No never, she just went one day when I was at school, I have thought of her over the years but never tried to find her, she was hot Lexi for a teenager who was in the wilderness she was an oasis, she taught me so much.”

“Yeah I have her to be grateful to for your prowess in the bedroom department, lets find her so I can thank her,” Sam threw a cushion at her., “well it’s true she was a damn good teacher, my first dalience was when I was 17 in the bush.” Sam sniggered, “Very apt.” Lexi ignored her and carried on, “It was on a school weekend with the geography class, we had to go out in twos to collect soil samples we found a quiet spot and shagged each other stupid, gees I remember going back with the soil samples and Mr Munro saying we looked like we’d been rolling in it.  We could hardly hold in the laughs. We managed to get a tent to ourselves because Jo had brought her two man tent with her so we pitched it as far from Mr Munro as we could and continued our shaggathon. We carried it on for near a year then I went to Sydney to uni and she went to Perth to work, I had a few flings at uni and at the hospital but I wanted to come to the UK for a few years, now I’m a married woman and couldn’t be happier living here except for one thing.”

“What’s that?” Sam looked at her.

“The s*** weather.”
