Loving Life

Susan's friend, Jill, was seeing Croc'c cousin, Matthew. They were either all out together or the two girls were in their local. They met two more bikers and would often go riding with them. 
Soon they saw these two new blokes on some nights and Croc and Matthew on others. Then sometimes it was a game of hide & seek if they all ended up in the same pub. 
Eventually Susan told Croc she had met someone else and he was very upset. She didn't want a serious relationship. 

Susan didn't sleep with everyone she went out with she just wanted to have fun.
Jill started seeing a non biker called Stuart who Susan rather fancied. This meant they often went their separate ways as Susan still went around with the bikers. 
Then Jill met Shaun and was seeing them both. Although Susan had done the same in the past she really liked Stuart and didn't like Jill treating him this way. 
She would chat to him when Jill wasn't there and there was obvious chemistry. 
Eventually Jill told him she didn't want to see him any more and he started going out with Susan. 
This brought about a completely different set of friends, all older and some with cars. 
Stuart lived in yet another area driving around to many places. Having a car was ideal if not a little uncomfortable. They used the back seat for making love, yes this was no longer sex as she was falling in love. 

Susan was trying to get into art college but a local one would not accept her due to the little amount of work she had to show. In the sixth form they had a set drawer for art work but her folder contained less than half. Someone had obviously removed it and her art teacher was very annoyed. 
Being a very academic school her choice was frowned upon with her careers teacher, a French teacher she despised, suggesting she find a job rather than attend an art college. It was expected students would attend university!
Eventually she found a course in London and was fully supported by her art teacher. The school should have promoted the fact that she was the only student from there who had ever applied and it was the only course of it's kind. 
She was accepted. 

The biggest wrench would be leaving Stuart. Everything was fine at first then he said that he didn't believe a long term relationship would work. This was because his best friend and girlfriend had split up when she had got settled into university. He then started seeing someone else. Susan and many friends knew it was to cover the fact that it wasn't what he wanted. 
They both went to a party and he spoke to all the girls but not Susan. They stayed over and she shared a settee with someone else in the hope he would be jealous, they just slept. 
The next day it was obvious Stuart was upset and they did go out together a few times after that but he insisted it wouldn't work so Susan made a clean break. She believed this was her first true love. 

Croc often used to turn up at the house under the pretext of showing his new bike or crash helmet or brought a friend to show his.
But Susan was no longer interested.
She was about to embark on a new life!
