I nod, and the tears continue to fall.
I don’t start walking again until he pulls away.
When I get home, I throw the dress in the trash.

When I return to school,I’m no longer the class loner no one pays attention to.
I’m the joke. They laugh and point at me. I’m called the same names my sister is called. A photo of yours truly is plastered against my locker. The pain hits me as I take in the picture of me on the football field, and I cringe at the horror on my face in the photo.
“Chloe Fieldgain gave pussy on the football field,” is chanted down the hallway.
I slam my locker shut and flee to the restroom, locking myself in a stall as I cryagain.
I’ve lived up to my family name because of him.
After the bell rings, I wipe my eyes and leave the restroom, unsure of what my next move will be.
Do I leave or cut class?
I round the corner to find Kyle waiting for me.
He’s in his football jersey, his hair is messy, and his green eyes are wide. He halts, glancing to each side of the hallway, and then moves closer.
“Chloe,” he draws out.
“You stay away from me,” I warn.
He takes another step until he’s standing in front of me. “Let me explain …”
The few people lingering in the hall gasp when I smack him across the face. “Go to hell, Kyle.”
I whip around and start walking away.
“Dude, she smoked you!” I hear a guy say to him in the background.
“She came to me, begging for a second round, and was pissed I told her to kick rocks,” Kyle says. “They always come back, wanting more.”
I freeze in my step, and my heart nearly explodes out of my chest.Is he kidding me?
“Dude, you’d better go get checked after that one.”
I hear someone smack him on the back.
“I always wrap it up,” he replies.
I cringe and ball my knuckles into fists while I talk myself out of turning around and punching him in the face this time.
I go home and vow to hate Kyle for the rest of my life.
As time passes, I learn to ignore the names, the rude gestures, and the condoms stuck to my locker.
I’m now known as the girl who gave it up to Kyle Lane on the football field.
