But then I see the flat, uncompromising look on Baron’s face, and I play out the next minute in my head. You don’t say no to the Dolce boys. You just don’t. If I try, Baron will keep staring at me in that relentless, unblinking way and say, “Take it.”
If I still refuse, they’ll shove it down my throat, laughing all the while.
I might as well keep my dignity and do it myself, not losing face by getting my ass handed to me and my mouth pried open like a dog who won’t take his medicine. At least this way I won’t lose whatever ground I gained by admitting I treated Gloria the way they treat girls.
My stomach churns at the thought, and I sit frozen with sick as Cotton approaches. He holds out a hand, palm up, offering me a little round pill, pale blue and pearlescent.
“Welcome to wonderland,” he says. His mouth is smiling, but his eyes are glittering with something else.
“What’s it do?” I ask, reaching for it without waiting for the answer. I swallow it dry before they have a chance to tell me. That should impress the bastards.
“Dude, you don’t take it at school,” Duke says, hooting with laughter. “It’ll make you want to fuck so bad you think your dick’s going to fly off and lodge itself in the nearest orifice on any living body—man, woman, or dog.”
“I wouldn’t saylivingis a condition,” Baron says.
“Good thing school’s over for you,” Cotton says. “You’d be humping us on the football field if you had practice.”
I shrug. “So I just go fuck someone?”
“Not someone,” Baron says.“Anyone.”
“What’s the difference?” I ask.
“You’re with us now,” Duke says. “You can have any girl you want, do anything you want to her. Girls never say no to us, no matter what we ask them to do.”
“Any girl?” I ask, my heart starting to hammer.
“Yep,” Duke says. “We’ll make the call and tell her you’re on your way. She’ll be waiting with her pussy already wet for you when you get there.”
“Or dry,” Baron says, flipping his towel behind his neck. “If that’s the way you take them.”
“So who’s it going to be, little bro?” Cotton asks. “You got about fifteen minutes until that shit hits your system.”
Duke pulls his phone out of his pocket and waits expectantly. “Just say her name, and she’s yours for the night.”
Gloria,my mind supplies helpfully.
But I’m not a simp anymore. She fucked half the guys in school and lied about it. Payback’s a bitch. It’s time for the bitch to pay up, and time for me to catch up. I’m not wasting a single night. As a poet once said, I’ve got miles to go before I sleep. She made a fool out of me, and now it’s my turn.
I’ll fuck so many girls that no one ever remembers that I was once a dumbass virgin who couldn’t tell when his girlfriend wasn’t one. I’ll make her endure the same torture I do. For the rest of the year, she’ll be forced to see the faces of everyone I’ve fucked, hear how I had orgies at parties with all the girls who couldn’t get enough of my dick, and know that I chose them over her because she’s such a used-up, worthless whore that I’d rather fuck anyone than her.
And it starts tonight.
“Them,” I say at last, nodding at Duke’s phone.
“What?” he asks.
“Not her,” I say. “Them.”
They stare at me a second, and then Cotton throws his head back and laughs. “My brother’s got balls.”
“Yeah, he does,” Duke crows, slapping my back so hard I’m pretty sure I hear a rib snap in half.
Even Baron chuckles, his eyes filled with something I’ve never seen there before—respect.
The little glow of warmth inside me swells into a flame, and heat spreads outwards through my limbs. I’ve been accepted at the fireside. I won’t die of exposure out here in the cold and barren hellscape of this town’s social climate.
And so what if I sold my soul to the devil for a seat at the fire? The world is run by the soulless. The Dolce boys do just fine without them. Why not me?
