"Alicia, what's going on?"I slam my locker shut, still keeping my lips sealed at Reece's question, which she has been asking me time and time again ever since I got to school this morning. I really don't feel like being in school today, but I am a student, so what choice do I have?"I am fine Reece." I finally blurt out."No you are not."If there's one thing to also know about Reece, it is the fact that she can be persistent. And also quite persuasive. Just then, Camilla saunters towards us, twirling a band of her hair with her finger. She is flanked on both sides by Megan and Hasley, two other cheerleaders with banging bodies but zero relationship skills.Megan got dumped by Jace, her whirlwind summer romantic sex fling who is also the captain of the basketball team in school. Hasley is a different kind of bitch. She changes dicks of all sizes at least five to seven times in a week.Camilla started hanging out with them more often after the summer break, or let me be specific: she s

My mouth is still covered, the assailant's palm still muffling my screams, his other hand pressing me to the wall.The room is dark, so dark that I can't see anything.In a split second, the hand pressing me to the wall leaves my shoulder, and I hear a flip sound. I flinch when a bright light suddenly lits up the entire room, piercing through my eyes.I blink a couple times, adjusting my eyes to the light's intensity.And to the face of my assailant.I freeze.Anger starts to boil up inside me, and with all the strength I can muster, I crush the numbness in my bones by pushing him off me."Luke! Are you mad?!"My heart is slamming against my chest. Slamming in anger. Pain. Madness. Surprised fury."Alicia, we. . . . .we need to talk."I can hear the faint footsteps and giggles of students walking down the hallway outside, apparently heading to the cafeteria for lunch but oblivious of a girl trapped in this room with a boy that is just the definition of insanity."We don't have anythin

Luke's hands slide up my shoulders to the back of my neck, his thumb and index finger arching at my chin as he kisses me back with a passion that equals mine. I feel the tip of his tongue teasing along the seam of my bottom lip before it slips into my mouth. I moan when his tongue graze the tip of my own, passing on the minty scent that seems to be rushing in torrents to the back of my brain.I grip his shirt tighter, feeling like I am about to burst into flames here and now. My legs are weak, and I am scared that I may not be able to withstand this sweet torment for long. As if sensing my thoughts, Luke grabs my thighs and lifts me up. My legs wrap around his waist, and I marvel at how my body just clings to his.He turns us around so that my back presses to the wall that was behind him, never breaking our kiss. My arms wrap around his neck for support, and I arch my body to his, feeling his hands as they roughly caress my back. Bolts of electricity zap down my spine, and I moan, lovi

This is going to be one hell of a very long conversation.A very long conversation that would have been cut short if I had fucking told Reece about my first kiss with Luke a long time ago."See Reece, let me explain everything."I begin."That day, after you left, Luke took me to Bailey's so that we could talk about how to go about the project. He was hungry and so was I. After ordering for some food, we got served and we began to eat. As we ate, Luke proposed that we could try to be friends, even just for the sake of the project, and I agreed.""You agreed?" Reece interrupts."Yeah. That was the only way I could think of at that time to help Luke and I from allowing our dislike for each other to ruin the project. I know it sounds stupid, but even you once blurted out one time about 'how we both can do the project together without ending up killing each other.' I accepted his offer just for the sake of the project, and for my grades."Reece huffs."I know I said that Alicia. But, acce

To stay true to my word, I avoided Luke like a plague the following day.And the next.And well, up until today's evening.I ignored him when he tried to talk to me. I swear I visited the restroom more than a dozen times to ease my bladder because it always got so filled up every damn hour I sat near him in class, feeling my heart banging against my chest.When I stood in front of my locker in the hallway after school dismissal today to grab some notes, I kept my head down when he walked past me. Reece seemed to have noticed my discomfort, because she stopped chatting about how happy she is to attend Camilla's party tonight.It took everything in me not to lift my head up to look at Luke when he walked past me. Or to reach out my hand to him.Now, I am home, back from school.And alone.Sarah is at the hospital now, but before she left the house, she sneaked her silver boots, her makeup bag, and a paper note into my room while I was in the shower, getting freshened for Camilla's party
