It was not courage exactly … courage was something you chose deliberately, something you picked up and carried.This was different. This arrived on its own and my body was already moving before my head had finished processing the decision.I'm taking control of this party. Because if I don't do something fast, this is going to turn into a disaster that lands directly on my record and on my name and on everything I have been building toward since I set foot in this school.I climbed up onto one of the tables.The room shifted. People turned … some of them slowly, some of them with that delayed, blinking attention of people who were operating at significantly reduced capacity. I had their eyes and I used them."Listen up, folks." I said it loud enough to carry across the hall. "I know everyone is fully blasted right now, but I need you all to get it together."

Trevor's POVI got back to the hall faster than I had left it, moving with the specific energy of someone who needed to look normal but was carrying about five things that were not normal at all.The room Sean and I had been in was somewhere behind me and Anna Parkhill was somewhere in this building with everything she needed to burn both of our lives down. Even though Sean had told me he would handle it, and I had left because he asked me to, and now I was standing in the corridor outside the lock-in hall trying to assemble my face into something that did not broadcast any of the above……Honestly, I didn't believe it. Not all the way. Anna handling anything the way you needed it to be handled required Anna to have a reason to, and I had spent enough time in this school watching Anna operate to know that her reasons were always about herself and never about anyone else. Whatever Sean said to her in that room was going to cost something. I just didn't know what yet.I pushed through th
Sean's POVShe faced me squarely with that specific expression she wore when she had decided she was in control of a situation and wanted everyone in the room to know it. "You actually fucked the gay class president?"I looked at her. Then I leaned back against the couch, getting comfortable, because if we were going to do this then we were going to do it properly. "You fucked half the football team." I said it plainly and without any particular edge to it. This was just a fact that existed in the same space as the one she had just thrown at me.She tilted her head slightly. Not rattled at all.Just recalibrating. "And yet you are the one everyone will be talking about." She said it with that particular satisfaction she got when she had found the version of a situation that worked in her favour and was now settling into it. "Hmmmmmm." She let the sound stretch out dramatically and then kept going almost immediatel
Trevor's POV"Ouuuuh! Whao!"We both jerked upright at the exact same moment … sitting up fast while the warmth of everything that had just happened between us dissolves instantly into something cold and alert.We sat on the couch side by side, both of us looking in the same direction and with almost the same expression.Anna was standing in the secondary entrance that neither of us had known existed until this exact moment… looking at us with eyes that had moved through surprise so fast it was already past it and landing somewhere that looked significantly more like calculation than shock.The state of the room was not helping our case. Neither was the state of us."Oh!" She screamed it out, one hand going to her mouth, the sound carrying the specific theatrical quality of someone who was performing shock for an audience even when there was no audience yet. "No fucking way." She pointed between us, her eyes going wide. "The star quarterback is gay?"I opened my mouth. But trust me wh
Trevor's POV"You thought I could hide what and what exactly did you catch?Point of correction… that boner wasn't about you. It's not like I can control it." I defended myself real quick.It came out more confident than I felt but I held the energy behind it. It was the cleanest exit I had and I n
Trevor's POV"Bye, Trevor." One of the students said it on their way out. I didn't even bother to look up to know who exactly that was because it was either Sean or any of his friends in my class, and I already understood it wasn't some sort of pleasantries. It was sarcasm… the kind with a smile be
Trevor's POVI found Max's words so insulting that something in me just snapped. And I knew better… I knew from experience that snapping back in this school never ended well for me. But backing down had never fetched me anything good either. Not for once and not in the entire time I had been a stud
Trevor's POV"Trevor, I want to have all of you in my mouth." Sean whispered against my ear, his voice so low it felt like it was meant only for the space between us. He closed the distance slowly and deliberately, like he had all the time in the world and knew exactly what he was doing with it. Th
