Chapter 16: The Morning After
I groaned, flailing my hand in the air trying to shoo away the sunlight that fell on my face. Unsuccessful, I turned away from the window… my hand landing on something beside me with a groan.
Wait… just… a… minute!
I jumped up in bed, almost giving myself a whiplash, but due to that something holding me down at the waist, I ended up being thrown back on the bed, awkwardly landing on that someone.
“Hmm…” A hum of pleasure from behind me, “…pretty and pink.”
I didn’t notice what he was talking about until he trailed his fingers up my sides to stop just below my breast. And then I was screaming and hauling the covers over me while Ethan laughed his ass off.
“What the hell are you still doing here? Get out!” I snapped at him, poking my head out from under the covers. I was sure I looked like an overripe

Chapter 17: Lies and Half Truths“Mom! Dad!”I said excitedly while blocking the door so they didn’t get a glimpse of who was inside. If this wasn't enough of a hint for him to kindly get his ass of the chair and hide, with or without the plate, then I don’t know what was.But I am surprised that they came back so soon. Weren’t they supposed to come back tomorrow?“Oh, that!” Mom exclaimed when I voiced my thoughts, her voice still a bit hoarse from her cold. “Your grandma tricked us into going there since we haven’t visited in so long. We came back because she’d been expecting the two of you to visit as well.”“Oh. Come on in. Where’s your luggage? And don’t you guys have a key?” I went in first, expecting to find the kitchen clear, but when has God or more precisely, Ethan, ever done me such a favor?“It wouldn’t have been

Chapter 18: When Opportunity Comes Knocking“Honey, what is the pyrimidine base in a DNA?” Was the first thing my dad asked as soon as I closed the front door behind me, Raymond having left the last of their luggage at our doorstep.“Not this again!” My mom gave a dramatic eye roll. “We just got back from a 4-hour drive, aren’t you the least bit tired?”“Just catching up with our daughter, Tasha. Being a good dad and watching out for her isn’t a crime.” Dad defended himself, which simply made me and my mother groan. Being a good dad, my ass! We both knew it was him being a typical dad and bringing out the guns at the sight of another man around his precious little princess.“It’s cytosine and thymine, dad,” I answered on a sigh. Well, two could play this game.“Very good, Akira!” Mom praised me enthusiastically and then turned to dad. &l

Chapter 19: Running Out of Luck“I need a huge favor,” I said into the phone.“Don’t you always?”“Ha-ha.” I said deadpan. “Did mom call you to know where I was?”“Nope. Why, where are you?” He asked, sounding worried.“It’s Sunday! I had a deadline, remember?” I lied… partially.“Oh!” he said, getting the point. “No problem, if she enquires then I’ll tell her that you were at my house to play video games. Okay?”“Thanks, Nick. I owe you one.” I told my best friend.“Hey, you saved my ass from Marian plenty of times, it’s the least I can do,” he said. “So, how did it go?”“Great! Absolutely fantastic!” And I was going all gaga on him. “Oh, Nick, I can’t wait to tell you all about it, but not right now, I’m nearly h

Chapter 20: Surprise, Surprise!“Surprise, surprise!”A hard shove and my back hit one of the lockers making a jolt of pain shoot down my spine. Then all of a sudden, I was being held up by a boy almost a foot taller than me, with huge bulging muscles. He pressed his entire weight on me so I couldn’t even move my legs.“Look who we have here boys, our very own Miss OG!” I didn't know who held me because he wore a ski mask over his head and so did the rest of his team of four, but Idid notlike the tone he was using. They all wore the Imphal High Basketball team jerseys, but I knew it was a diversion and that they didn’t belong to the team. I knew every player because they were all Nick’s friends and I sat with then during lunch quite often."Who the hell are you? Get off me!" I yelled and went to shove them with my hand.Wrong move. Because, soon enough, both my hands we

Chapter 21: Snakes in the Grass“What?” Mr. Bennett didn’t sound convinced.“Ask her! She’s an erotica writer!” He argued.“Pornography and erotica are very different things Mr. McKenna. Get your facts right before you speak.” The remark threw me off guard, but I was more surprised at my defender. Dylan Thompson.Was this really his plan? Or did he want me not to suspect him? It has to be the later.“But it’s still all about sex! Who cares what genre…?”“Enough!” I’d had enough. I tried to stand up, felt Ethan and Nick tugging me up with them. “So what if I write erotica? When everyone here isn’t ashamed to read them then why should I be ashamed to write? And don’t even try to deny it. Imphal is a small enough town and I know where the orders come from. And if you think writing erotica's is such a crime that can only

Chapter 22: Speak of the Devil“Akira? Akira, honey.”“Ugh! Five more minutes, mom!”“Honey, we need to discuss something important.”It took me a while to realize that my mom was really here and I wasn't imaging it. And it wasn’t seven in the morning and that I was in my bed, sleeping at twelve in the afternoon.“I’m up.” I sat up leaning against my headboard, rubbing the sleep from my eyes with both palms, my hair probably… scratch that, I knew my hair looked exactly like Medusa’s.“Good. How are you feeling now?” Mom asked, running her hands through my hair to untangle them as best as she could. Mom’s taken today off and stayed at home so she could take care of me.“Much better,” I said. I yawned and stretched my limbs. Nick had come in late at night and stayed for dinner. I wonder what Ethan would do if he knew.

Chapter 23: Night Out“Aki!” Mom called from downstairs. “Are you up? Nick’s here to see you!”“I’m up.” I answered from my bed where I was finishing off my homework.Nick’s smiling face appeared at my doorway and before long, I was engulfed in a bear hug. “Aki! How are you today? Does your head still hurt?” He gushed all at once.“Nick, calm down! I’m fine.” I moved out of his embrace. “I’m fine, okay. Don’t worry.”“You know I care about you, Aki. You matter to me.”Because you matter.Ethan’s words reverberated through my mind. Why did I just compare them anyway?“Alright, no more stressful thoughts.” Nick smiled that innocent smile—the smile I grew up seeing—of his that has the entire female population of our school, except me, falling at his feet. &ldq

Chapter 24: Thanksgiving DisasterDespite my moaning and groaning, mom drove me to school the next morning. I knew it had more to do with judging people’s reactions than not wanting me to stress out. And though I didn’t admit it out loud, I was glad for it as well. Having her beside me gave me the strength I needed to face everyone.It was only when no one pounced on our car or do something drastic that mom finally left. I thought the scene would change once I stepped out of the car, but still nothing. The only thing I got was polite smiles and a few good mornings from my classmates.Suspicion rising, I began my hunt for Ethan. Found him in his classroom.“Hey!” He greeted, looking up from a pile of project work.“Hi.” I shut the door behind me and pulled on the latch. I’d arrived early so there were still twenty minutes left for the first morning bell to ring. Ethan pulled me down on his l
