She tears open her brownie packet, tearing the brownie in half, and hands me a piece. I take it, because I don’t want to offend her. But I don’t eat it. A brownie has too many calories.
“I don’t listen to gossip. Most of the time it’s untrue and vile,” she tells me as a response. “So, why don’t you tell me your truth?”
I let out a laugh, but it’s painful and humorless. My truth?
No one has ever asked that. “It’s a long story.”
Lila takes a peek at her phone. “We still have thirty minutes before the bell rings, plenty of time.”
I stare at her for a minute. Looking for any kind of deceit in her eyes. But I find none. She’s not mocking me with her words, or taunting me about my failures. She’s genuinely asking me for my truth.
There is nothing fake about Lila. Not the way she speaks, or the way she carries herself.
So, I tell her.
My truth…
And my story.
Of how I went from Riley Johnson, the popular Cheer Captain of Berkshire Academy to a sad reject. A “fallen” princess as Colton Bennett once called me.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Colton — 16 years old (Junior year)
The girl on my lap shoves her tits in my face. They are practically spilling out of her dress. I grip her ass in one hand and watch as her friend straddles Maddox’s lap. They are both sophomores, while Maddox and I are juniors now.
She hands me a joint and I clamp it between my teeth. She lights it for me and I inhale, before blowing a puff of smoke into her face. Miss-I-can’t-remember-her-name giggles, almost drunkenly, and then steals the joint from me.
The bonfire is lit tonight, crowded with Berkshire students who are all here to celebrate our win against Leighton High.
“Where’s Cole?” Maddox asks, raising an eyebrow questioningly.
I huff in response. “He’s never in the mood to party nowadays.”
“Maybe if he joins us every now and then, he won’t always be in such a depressive mood.” He grips the girl’s ass, smirking at her. “Pussy and weed, best combination to cure depression.”
I know he is only half-serious. Granted Maddox and I have always been closer, but he still had a good friendship with Cole. I know it also bothers him that my brother has turned into a lone wolf.
The girl on my lap hands me back my joint. I take another hit, inhaling before puffing out another cloud of smoke. Her hand slides down my chest to my abdomen and then she cups my dick over my jeans. My stomach revolts and I fight the urge to kick her off my lap. “How about we take this somewhere else?” she purrs in my ear.
My brain is hazy from the weed. I allow her to drag me away from the others, deeper into the trees, until we are perfectly camouflaged. I lean back against a tree, and then she’s all over me. “What do you have in mind?” she asks, her skin flushed. Behind us, I hear a giggle and then a manly grunt. Yeah, there are other people fucking.
“I’m bored,” I drawl lazily before pushing down on her shoulders and forcing her to her knees. She kneels, a coy smirk on her lips. “Find a way to keep me entertained, Julie.”
Julie frowns. “That’s not my name.”
Oh, huh? Whoops, my bad.
I could blame it on the alcohol and weed. Tell her my brain is fuzzy and apologize as any gentleman would. But I don’t see a point in lying. I really don’t remember her name and neither do I care. I’m definitely not feeling very gentlemanly. “Does it matter?”
“It’s Emma.” She flips her hair back, haughtily.
“Emma,” I say, testing her name on my tongue. Yeah, it sounds all wrong. “Well, Emily… shut up and suck my dick.”
“Do you have to be such an asshole about it?”
I roll my eyes. “It’s part of the charm.”
