Music filtered over the gym speaker. Emily led me in by my wrist, and stalks off to seat with her boyfriend Ted on the top bleachers row. First time she's leaving my hand in the crowd, weird! A rush of panic hits as I was jostled by students. As I watch, scanning my eyes to find an empty spot, a couple of freshmen move to sit next to Emily and Ted. The freshmen trip over themselves scrambling to get a seat.
I kept moving and finally spotted one empty seat… right next to a familiar figure slouching in the second row.I quickly turned around, desperately scanning the crowd for another open seat… any seat but this one… but they aren’t any. I considered sneaking out, until someone shouted from behind.
“hey! Sit your stupid ass down or else you'd be watching from the trash”…
“ hello! you are obstructing my view!” another voice yelled out angrily.
I turned back around to meet Bay’s gaze. My heart skipped a beat“Em… Bay, do you mind?” I stuttered.
Without saying a word, he scoot over and I squeezed in beside him. I sat, neither of us saying a word. He looks even more handsome in his basketball jersey... His chiseled biceps visible shooting out. On the floor of the gym Dylan Ball, Bay’s BFF walked up the podium to address the students.“how you doing Fothoman high?”
The students roar in response! The bleachers growling and shaking as the crowds pound their clenched fists on their chest. Dylan waved to the cheering crowd, flashing smile at them.“welcome back, everyone. For the freshmen who doesn’t know me already, I’m Dylan Ball, your student body president. I know some of you are a little salty that summer is over, but trust me… this Is going to be one of your memorable school year. And on that note let’s kick this pep rally up… Fothoman Tiger style”…At his signal several cheerleaders jump up from the bleachers, bouncing and waving their pom pom excitedly.
One by one the cheerleaders tumble across the gym.Claire draws thunderous applause and cheers as she pulled off an effortless round-off in a backflip. "What a show off" I scorned silently… if there is anything Claire Gustavo is known for, that will be stealing the spotlight. I feel sick already just by looking at her.
“Now that the cheer squad is done totally blowing our minds, let’s give it up for the Fothoman Tiger’s basketball ball team” Dylan announced.
More cheer and applause erupts as a group of basketball players including Bay forms up in front of the podium. I was busy wishing evil on Claire that I didn't even realize when he left his seat.
********Few minutes later, we all dispersed from the hall to our various classrooms. I stroll the hallway carefully trying to maneuver making body contacts with students filing out of the gym. I startled as strong hand clamped around my wrist and pulled me quickly into the bathroom before anyone could see.
Bay pressed my mouth shut with his hand to prevent me from screaming as he shoved me against the door. "Shh! It's me" he whispered. His eyes hovering over my face...
He pinned my wrists over my head and trailed hot kisses down my neck and chest.“ I've been wanting to do this to you all day” he growled into my ears, sending heat down my spine. "You don't know how hard it's been for me watching you in the gym without getting the opportunity to kiss you"
“ please let me go… someone might come in”… I pleaded while struggling to break free from his strong arms.
“no one comes in here at this hour, at least not when I'm in charge. You'd need my permission to do that”… He said as he rain my lips with hot kisses.
I met his gaze dazedly, feeling drunk with desire, savoring the intent look on his face, his eyes dark and fathomless…
“Relax i am not going to fuck you, Hailey. But I will make you cum all over my fingers"…. His voice husky.
His words leaves my body trembling and my panties soaking wet. He suddenly, lifted me into his strong arms and deposted me gently on the toilet seat. He knelt in-between my leg and pulled my skirt up to my waistline and started rubbing my clit through my pant. Relishing a moan from me.
“I want you to stop wearing panties… I like seeing nothing on you. I want to fuck you anywhere and anytime without it getting in my way”… He said and I responded with a nod.
He slowly slipped my pant off and hang my legs over his shoulder. He spread out my leg and position himself.
He slide a finger inside my wet dripping pussy... A sharp moan escaped my mouth. He thrusted fast… looking deep into my eyes. He groan as my body shiver. A mixture of Sharp pain and please blaze hot inside of me.
My head fell back as I was barely fighting not to cream out loud... as tears trailed my cheek.
"Yes... Yes... Yes.... I want you to cum for me... I like the way you react to me. I like having you at my mercy, like this. he said, never breaking his gaze. His eyes Savouring every writhe and pain he caused me.
He continued faster and harder until waves of ecstasy rushes over my body. My body vibrated as I tightened my grip on the neck of his jersey.
He didn't stop until we heard footstep coming towards the door. We spring apart quickly smoothing our hair and clothes. The student tried to push the door open…
“is anyone there?”…
“ Get lost!” Bay responded and the student leaves cursing out.
He casts a quick glance at me before stalking out.
******** I came out to the hall like nothing happened. Emily called out to me. She was standing with Ted close to her locker, his arms snaked around her waist.“Hailey! Over here!” she waves me over.
I walk over to them and gives Ted a playful jab on the shoulder.“hey Ted!”…
"I have been looking everywhere for you. Where did you run off to?”… She asked inquisitively.
“ I eeh… em! … I was in Mrs. Gupta’s office” I stuttered. Best save I could think of at that point. Why Mrs Gupta though?
“Mrs. Gupta?... What for? She queried
“ I went to sign up for the music club”
She scoffs “good luck with that… “
“you just challenged Claire Gustavo. Music club is her territory. She wins every competition there is to music every year. You would not want to try her, trust me “ Ted adviced.
“don’t worry! You can still beat her. I trust you” Emily said, crossing a hand on my shoulder.
“is anyone one else hungry? Cos I’m starving”
With that, we darted our way into the cafeteria and settled on a table. Ted and I gave Emily our order and she walked off to get them. I imagined Bay sitting with me in the cafeteria as the room smelled of peanut butter and waxy cartons of milk. Those are his favorite and every one of the things he liked reminds me of him. It will be nice sitting with him and claiming him as mine in front of the entire school instead of playing hide and seek.
“so, how was your summer?” Ted asked
Just as I was about to respond to Ted's question my eyes flicker to Bay and Claire walking into the cafeteria. I froze as my jaw jutted.
“still into him, huh? Ted asked.
I flinched, as his voice shoots me out of my reverie.
“uh... Who?”He nod his head towards Bay. I looked at them sliding on top of a seat on the popular kids table. They are discussing and laughing with Dylan Ball and Brad, one of the notorious bully of Fothoman High. Claire leaned into his body, her hands sliding around his shoulder. He pulled her towards him and just like that… they were kissing. How is he acting so normal after what he did to me in the convenience?
Ted noticed the poisonous jealousy in my eyes.“ don’t you think it’s time you move on? Just take a good look at Claire… look at her!... I’m sorry Hailey, but you cannot compete with that”…
“Don’t be a jerk Ted” Emily narrowed her eyes angrily at Ted as she tossed the tray of food loudly on the table, sending some of them flying to the ground.
“ I am just being honest with Hailey. why are you mad at me for telling her the truth?” Ted blew hot. “You call her your BFF yet you seat and lie to her?”…
Heads started to turn to our table. At this point I could feel tears prickling my eyes
“who the hell are you to judge her?”…. Emily asked furiously “who gave you that right?“Enough!” I yelled, jerking up from my seat. “both of you! that is enough!”…Bay’s hard gaze fell on me… I looked over at him and hold his moment before rushing out of the cafeteria. I hated that I was in such situation because of him.***Bay and i made our way through the crowd. The coach placed a glittering crown on our head. Bay cleared his throat and looked at the audience.“ I really want to thank everyone who voted for my girl and I…” he paused as the crowd cheers and claps.“ Thank you all for a the love and support… and to my team members… Lions! You all are the best" he cleared his throat and fixed me into a heated gaze. " I have some good news to share…”The hall went quite. My heart began to palpate loudly. I have had too much surprises for one night… what the hell is he about to do this time again.?My eyes caught Emily’s and she beamed a smile. I gave her the tiniest shake of my head. Why so much surprises? If I had any idea that they'd plan all this for prom, I could have been more prepared. Bay took my hand. His eyes locked on mine. “I finally met someone who gets me. Someone I can't stop thinking about. Someone who lights up the whole room with her passion... Someone who tolerated all
“ I am going to deal with you. You feared me Tammy, you should still be scared because you are obviously not aware of what I’m capable of” Claire blew hot.“ feared? Past tense” Tammy smirked mockingly. She then starts circling around Claire like a vulture who's spotted a carcass on the ground. “ I think you should be afraid because I Know you. I know a lot about you Claire Gustavo”“ What do you know?” She scoffed“ You know, that I know – that you and Brad have been sleeping together. You begged me to keep it a secret, remember? even though you were with Bay. You cheated on him with his best friend. Very shameful” Tammy shook her head.The entire crowd erupted in a jaw dropping gasp. Eyes turned to Brad who is seated across the hall. “ what? Get my name out of your mouth bitch” Brad yelled out.Claire glances around her, eyes widening as she starts to real
Soon, Tammy drove us to the venue. I couldn’t shake off the thought of seeing Bay in my head. I might drop dead in the ballroom if Bay is with Claire. Bay is obsessed with being popular, he may want to enter as the prom King with Claire as his Queen – which is totally understandable if he had told me about it instead of standing me up.“Shall we?” Emily’s voicedWe walked inside to find the atrium completely transformed. Even though I had little excitement in me it was a thrilling sight to behold. Everything about the hall screams A Night Under the Stars. I felt the baby inside of me leap in excitement as well and that made me smile. " I Know baby, it's so beautiful" I said under my breath, cradling my stomach.Tammy held my wrist and pulled me to a stop. “ Hailey, whatever you see in there, please do not breakdown. I want you to carry yourself like a queen. Don’t let anyone ruin this beautiful moment f
The day for senior prom was finally here and I was having double feelings about it. I didn’t want to go, not after everything that happened in this past few days. But Bay was very persistent. I didn't go to junior prom so I clearly have no idea of what being to prom feels like.losing virginity on prom night is a common plot point in some of the teen movies I’ve seen but that should be for those who are still virgins, right? To me, there was really nothing there for me. I never danced before, I never thought about dancing before, I am very conscious about dancing – so there is really nothing special about this day for me. It might be for the high school sweethearts who are waiting on this day to finally mate and lose their virginity together on prom night – like Emily and Tammy.“ I never would've made it through this year without you, Ems” I told Emily who was helping me sort cloths from my wardrobe. Weird. I forgot to shop for a new ball gown.“ silly, Y
I finished classes for the day and Emily catches up to me at my locker.“ What time are you leaving for Okhlay?” she asked.“ I’m waiting for Bay to finish his practice” my phone vibrated in my jeans pocket and I dropped my heavy backpack on the floor, leaning it against my leg for support. I Slid out my phone and saw that it was Jake. I’ve missed several calls from him as well “ Jake?” I was surprise he’s calling at 2pm when I already told him that we’d be in Okhlay by nightfall.I answered the call and it was Uncle George “ Hailey, come to Newton Hospital… now”“What’s wrong?” I asked but my question met a dead silent from the callers end.My blood ran cold as I tucked my phone into my pocket. There's no good reason why Uncle George would be calling me from Jake’s phone. I mean, he never called me before… i slammed my locker shut and followed Emily down the hall to the gym. From the tone of my voice, Bay sensed how worried I was and followed me outside the parking lot w
I picked the call and the smile on my face disappeared immediately at what I saw. Jake looked small and exhausted, his skin pale and paper thin. I could not understand how he could’ve changed so much in such a short period of time. He smiled at me, but his smile was weak and straining “ how have you been, Psych?”I couldn’t smile, I couldn’t speak… I just stared at him through the phone screen. I held back the tears in my eyes. If I let even a single tear drop from my eyes, he’d know just how scared I was – I was dead scared. I couldn’t even recognize Jake. He was completely gone – the vibrant and all bubbly Jake I fell madly love with almost looked like he was vanishing.“ psych, did you get my gift?” he asked.“ yes… they are lovely. Thank you so much” “ I’m glad you like it. I couldn’t think of anything better, I’m sorry”&ldquo
