Fuck.

I need to get me some of that. That was hot.

My sister wouldn’t approve.

I look around me at all the boys in this class, considering my options. None of them will do. Not now. Though I’ll be damned if I ever sleep with a guy like Nokosi. Not a chance in hell.

Still, that kiss.

I get to lunch still thinking about it, still consumed by it. How can such a douchebag be so passionate with a girl? Normally they’re out for what they can get and never for what they can give. Does he get off on pleasing women because the way she was rubbing against him meant she was genuinely enjoying herself.

I head outside to the same tree he was at with my phone in hand. I walk around it once checking for spiders and bugs. I come across a plaque at the base facing the entrance, it’s dedicated to some kid that died a couple of years ago. Sad.

I move away from that and rest my head back against the bark and scan the grounds. I should be exploring the school to become more familiar with its layout and people, but I just need this moment to understand a moment that I’ve never witnessed outside of staged porn.

It has blown my mind.

I try to think of other things but it’s near impossible. I need to go for a ride. That’ll get my mind set on the right path.

Lilith: Did Mom clean my jacket?

Willow: I did, last night. You should really take better care of it.

Lilith: You know I didn’t have any control over what they did.

Willow: Just check that you’re not on the res before you tread dirt. Okay?

Lilith: I should make them pay for what they did to me.

Willow: Good luck finding them… on their own land… Miss Brainiac.

Lilith: Even through text message your sarcasm is strong.

Willow: I learned from the best. Be nice to your peers. Blend in. Or try to.

Lilith: Whatever…

I see Nok with two male friends exiting the main entrance to the right. I watch him out of the corner of my eye as they throw each other around, playfighting and showing off like little boys. I stand, ready to follow from a safe distance when he suddenly clocks me and stops in his tracks.

His black hair is piled up on his head in a messy knot, his eyes are tense and dangerous. He glares at me, trying to intimidate me and I glare back, unphased by his tactic.

“Come on, Nok,” one of his buddies urges, still smiling from the playfighting. “I’m fucking starved.”

Nok tears his eyes away and I wait a moment before following, ignoring the bustle of the students. I just need to know what he’s driving.

I swing my keys around my finger, making it look like I’m headed to my own car, and hasten my steps when they all climb into a large four-by-four truck with a covered bed. I memorize the license plate and brand as it peels out of the lot, and then, smiling to myself, I climb into my own car and type it into my phone.

Got him.

They return forty minutes later, and I follow them inside, not because I have to, but just because I want to appreciate his rear for just a bit longer. It’s a nice, firm, round, athletic rear. It’s just a shame it’s attached to such a douchebag.

I do love though how he automatically has an issue with me. Like he just knows I’m about to make his life hell. He’s obviously very perceptive.

But so am I.

He obviously has good instincts.

But so do I.

I notice him glance over his shoulder at me as we both stroll down the hall in the same direction. I notice his lips purse and his eyes narrow. I notice him whisper to the guy on his right.

They keep going, but so do I. I quicken my pace to get even closer, shouldering past coeds and even teachers. I get so close at one point I’m a nose breadth away from his back. I could kiss his spine if I wanted to; that dip that rests perfectly center to both sides of his body.

God, he smells good.

Then I drop back, just in time for him to check again without seeing how close I was. Though he felt me for the most part, I was too quick for him to catch.

He glances behind him again and I smirk at him.

He takes the bait, stops, and turns so suddenly it takes his friends another two steps to realize he’s no longer walking with them.

“What the fuck do you want, maggot?”

The people around us still like before, a few laugh, the boys with him share excited glances.

“Your attention,” I state boldly, still smirking.

He scoffs and looks around him with a fake smile on his face. He’s assessing his peers. Checking they’re listening to him for when he roasts me.
