MasukSean's POV
She 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
Trevor's POVSomething moved through me that I could not fully explain the origin of. 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." I looked around the room … at the decorati

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

"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 POVI worked slowly and deliberately — starting with his lower lip, pressing into it gently, while holding it just long enough before moving to the upper, giving each one its own full moment. Taking my time with it felt right, like the pace itself was saying something that neither of us ha
Trevor's POVThe shower was the only place I could think to go and I got there fast.I turned the water on, stepped under it and just stood there for a moment, letting it run over my neck and down my back. My whole body was still running hot from whatever had just happened on that sideline — the ma
Trevor's POVI slowly stepped into the bathroom where I could already hear the shower running. Honestly, I was still going back and forth in my head about whether this counted as part of the waterboy package or whether Sean was simply taking advantage of the situation. But th
Trevor's POV"I like the way you look in this…I mean in this waterboy outfit."He said it and just let it sit there, like he was fully prepared to wait out whatever reaction it produced.I was not giving him one this time. Not the one he was fishing for, anyway.I rolled my neck slowly…to the right
