New story I've just started working on and thought I'd post a preview for. As always, all characters are consenting adults.

“OMG, sooooo excited to see you!”
Rachel typed quickly, her eyes darting between the phone and the doorway to the kitchen where the other girls were laughing and yelling at each other.
She waited nervously as the phone showed that someone was typing a response. She wanted to see it and put her phone away before the other girls came in and demanded to know who she was texting with. She could hear them finishing up. Soon, they’d be back in the living room with fresh drinks and popcorn and she’d have no way of keeping their demanding eyes off her phone.
Finally, the response came.
BRAD: Haha, me too! It feels like its been forver since high school. Crazy to think its only been 2 yrs. Cant wait to catch up. See you in a week! [wink emoji]
Wink emoji…She had hoped for a kiss emoji. Or a heart emoji. Or a let’s-be-together-forever emoji. She had always loved Brad, but she had always been scared to tell him. What if he rejected her? She didn’t want to throw off the dynamic of their friend group back in high school. Or worse…be pushed out of the group for making things ‘weird’ with Brad. Even though they were her best friends, Rachel always knew she was the expendable one in the group. They weren’t the most popular kids, but they were a social rung or two above what Rachel felt she’d be without them. And…it kept her close to Brad.
Since graduation, she and Brad had stayed in touch, but she had moved a timezone away to go to college and their lives drifted apart. Still, he was never far from her mind. She got giddy whenever she saw he posted new photos online, and her heart sank every time the photo was of him with his arm around some girl that was hotter than her. They were always hotter than her. Brad liked tall, thin girls - usually blondes.
Rachel wasn’t any of those things. She was short. She was more interested in Pokemon than keeping up with what was popular. She wore her brown hair cut short and boyish. In high school she had been heavier, which didn’t help. She knew she wanted to make a change and get a fresh start, so she worked hard at the end of her senior year and the summer before college to lose weight. She bought new clothes that she felt were boring compared to her quirky high school outfits, but fit in better with the crowds of girls at college parties.
And it had worked. Rachel was surprised to find that even though she lost a decent amount of weight, her boobs had stayed roughly the same size at DD, and her butt stayed full and firm. She was disappointed at first - she wanted to be thin like the girls Brad liked. But now, those parts of her that she always just thought made her look even fatter were the things that got her attention from the guys at parties. And that attention she got plenty of - guys stared at her tits as they talked to her, trying to get her to leave with them for the night. She had still never had a boyfriend, but she had finally shed the shameful label of ‘virgin.’
But even though she had moved up to a more popular scene, sometimes she felt she was right back in high school. Her new friend group were the type of girls she never thought would accept her. Popular girls. Pretty girls. Girls with hunky boyfriends and full social calendars. Rachel once again found herself feeling like her inclusion in the group was tenuous. She was careful not to make a wrong move, for fear of being kicked out and left behind.
“Rach,” Kristie’s voice rang through from the kitchen. “Move that ridiculous ass of yours over and try to make some room for the rest of us!”
A chorus of giggles came from the kitchen. The girls were always teasing Rachel about her big ass and tits.
Rachel panicked as she realized the phone was still in her hand. She hurried to shove it under her butt as the other girls filed in.
“What are you doing??” Kristie demanded, with over-the-top intrigue in her voice. “What are you hiding?”
Shit. Not fast enough, Rachel thought.
“Just fucking around on my phone,” Rachel said, trying to be nonchalant.
“Oooh…mysterious,” Lindsay said to Kristie.
The other girls looked at Kristie to see what she would say.
“Tell us,” Kristie said, sweetly.
“Really,” Rachel started. “I was just texting an old friend…”
“A BOY?” Kristie cut her off with excitement.
“Oh my god does big tits have a boyfriend??” Cassie said in the back of the group.
Rachel felt her heart beating faster. They wouldn’t let it go now.
“Do you?” Kristie asked, a giant smile on her face.
“He’s….not my boyfriend,” Rachel said, defeated. “He’s just a guy from high school. He’s coming to visit.”
A deafening squeal emanated in unison from the other girls.
“You LIKE him…” Kristie said. “I can tell…you LIKE HIM.”
Rachel gulped.
“Yeah, I mean, he’s actually really great and cute I guess…”
“Show us,” Kristie immediately demanded, still smiling.
Rachel knew there was no avoiding it now. She stifled a sigh as she pulled out her phone and pulled up Brad’s profile. She found a photo of him without a girl hanging on him.
“That’s him…” Rachel said, showing the phone to Kristie.
The other girls huddled around as well, all waiting for Kristie to speak.
“Oh my god…” Kristie said.
Rachel didn’t know from the tone of her voice where she was going with this. She braced for the worst.
“Girl,” Kristie said, finally. “He’s fine! You should be proud of yourself! Don’t hide him from us! Tell us all about him!”
The other girls softened their stances, adopting Kristie’s supportive stance.
Rachel sighed with relief to herself.
“His name is Brad…”
