Sam went home slightly disappointed, but reflected there'd be plenty of chances again, as the two girls looked set fair to be returning next week, and with luck there'd be one or two of Richard's flatmates as well. He was a bit depressed. He had expected to be in one of the new halls of residence but there'd been a construction problem with the building (fire regulations) and it wouldn't now be ready till next term, so he was in digs with a slightly unscrupulous landlady who overcharged on the (gas) heating which in his room was on a coin operated slot meter. To relax he turned on his computer to look at some porn. He'd found a new strip blackjack website he could play on line and spent an hour on that before going to bed.

Tom was also hopeful for next week. Did Jane fancy him or not? He considered giving her his phone number, but decided against it just now. No hurry.

Jane and Ann gave each other a look and agreed to meet up for a coffee in the old Union building lunchtime the next day.

Alex was pensive but made no sign. He was quite tired after a long week and had some coursework needed some research over the weekend before his tutorial on Monday.
