“Sorry Sir,” I muttered as I took it from him timidly.

“I was just saying that the class could learn a thing or two from you about perseverance and hard work but perhaps I was wrong,” he narrowed his eyes, before turning swiftly to the next student. I looked down at the paper. A+. Perfect. I smiled to myself as I thought about how I was going to celebrate tonight. I just needed to make sure I got out of the house before Henry got home from work.

The school bell rang and I quickly scooped my belongings into my bag. Racing down the school corridor to catch my best friend Millie before the next class took some skill through the mass of teenagers messing around.

“Mills!” She turned sharply, books in hand, and smiled at me.

“Hey hun! What class do you have next?” She asked as I fell in with her steps.

“English Lit. Can I get ready at your house tonight? I am just going to run home and grab my stuff and I can be at yours at 4?” My eyes pleaded with her and she could hear the desperation in my voice.

“Of course, Liv! You know you are always welcome! I don’t know why you don’t just move in with me. My family loves you! And it would get you away from that asshole.”

“I can’t leave my mum and you know it,” I sighed. God, I wish I could move in with Mills. Her family was the perfect 2.4 loving family with all the trimmings. Her mum was sweet and kind and oh so motherly. Her dad was cheeky and funny with his giant moustache and quirky dress sense. Her brother was the same age as Henry but a bit of an introvert and geek. A lovely person. They all were.

“Well, you can sleep over mine tonight after the party. That’s if you aren’t going to sleep at Nates?” she gave me a cheeky wink. I had already told her our plans to go all the way tonight and she was just as excited as me.

“Thanks, but Chelsea has actually let us have one of her spare rooms for the night. Nate’s parents are having their own little dinner party so we can’t sleep there.”

She looked surprised. “Well, that is nice of Barbie! Perhaps she does have feelings after all!”

I chuckled, “Chelsea isn’t that bad once you get to know her. Yea, she is obsessed with looks and materialistic shit, but she was brought up like that. What do you expect?” Millie rolled her eyes, not convinced.

The rest of the day went by painfully slowly. Why was it when you always had something exciting to look forward to, it was as if the universe prolonged every minute just to torture you? Racing home after school, I ran up to my bedroom and started to grab everything I would need in my bag; my dress that I had saved up for weeks for, sexy matching lace underwear, my make-up, heels, toothbrush, straighteners. What else was I missing? Ah. I pulled open my bedside drawer and threw the unopened packet in my bag. Condoms.

Throwing the bag over my shoulder, I opened my door and listened. Quiet. He wasn’t home yet; the coast was clear. I thundered down the stairs as fast as my little legs could take me and grabbed my phone and keys from the side table just as my mum walked out the living room. I could tell from her puffy eyes that she had been crying. Another argument with Neil, no doubt. I don’t know why she didn’t just leave him. We would be so much better off without Neil and Henry in our lives. Guilt riddled me as I hesitated by the door. I couldn’t leave her like this, but I really needed to go before Henry got back.

“Are you okay mum?” I asked carefully.

“Oh yeah. Everything’s fine,” she lied with a wave of her hand. Her tired eyes and haggard skin told the truth. She used to be so full of life. So vibrant. Now she was a shell of her former self. “You sure? Because I can stay if you like?”

“No. No. You go to your party. Have fun darling,” she smiled at me and I gave her a weak smile back.

“I am staying at Millie’s tonight,” I lied. She didn’t need to know what I was really up to.

“Okay my love. I’ll see you in the morning,” she turned and walked back into the kitchen. I sighed. I didn’t have time to dwell on this. I had to go.

The party was in full swing and I was having more fun than I had ever had before. Chelsea’s house was a mansion. She had a huge swimming pool in the back garden, so many rooms that it felt like you were walking through a maze of different vibes throughout the whole party. There was something for everyone. A beer pong room, a techno dance room with a DJ, a making out room, a chilling room, a room where everyone seemed to be hot boxing and smoking weed. And then the main room and open-plan kitchen where people were dancing and drinking, having the time of their lives. The atmosphere was electric. Everyone was buzzing that we had finally finished sixth form and would all be moving onto bigger and better things. This was what I had waited for. One last wild blow out with my friends and boyfriend before we went out into the big wide world.

“Have I told you how incredible you look?” Nate whispered in my ear as his hand snaked around my waist from behind.

“Only a thousand times,” I giggled before taking a sip of beer from my plastic, red cup.

“Well, it’s true. This dress. It does things to me,” he nibbled at my ear lobe, and I felt my stomach flutter. Turning in his arms, I stared into his beautiful eyes and ran my hand through his floppy brown hair. His eyes were full of admiration and want, not like when Henry looked at me.

“Well, how about we take my little dress upstairs?” I cocked my head to one side and smiled seductively. The alcohol was definitely giving me some Dutch courage and I was determined to make this an experience I would remember forever.

He leaned down, holding my face in his hands and kissed me passionately. Our tongues danced together as the intense need to have his hands explore my body and to feel what it was like to satisfy that ache between my legs grew.

Without saying a word, he took my hand in his and led me up the clear staircase to the top floor. Chelsea had already shown us our room when we arrived, so it didn’t take us too long to push past the couples who were eating each other’s faces on the landing and the girls who were tripping over their feet, giggling as they made their way back downstairs.

Once Nate closed the door behind us, only the dull vibrations of the blaring music downstairs could be heard and the pounding of my heart in my ears. I stepped towards him and started to unbutton his shirt, my eyes flicking up at his every now and again. He watched me intensely and once they were all undone, I pushed it away from his shoulders as it fell to the floor. Tracing my hands across his athletic chest, his breathing hitched and he leaned down, capturing my lips once more.

He slowly walked me backwards until my legs hit the end of the bed and we both fell back on it, giggling. He turned on his side and ran his fingers over the swell of my breasts that were rising and falling under my silver dress.

“You are so beautiful Liv,” he smiled down at me and I fluttered my eyelashes. He was so sweet, but I wanted to get on with it. I wanted to feel the passion. The ‘I need you now’ feeling that I read about in books. I grabbed the nape of his neck and pulled him down to my lips, placing his hand on one of my boobs. He squeezed it gingerly, and I moaned into the kiss, trying to encourage him to do more. Luckily, it worked and his hand found its way down my body and between my legs. He started to rub me over my underwear and I gripped his shoulders tighter. We had tried everything else and I was eager to get to the main event. The anticipation was killing me and the alcohol was making me needy as hell.

“Get a condom. They are in my bag,” I panted against his lips. He moved off me quickly and I removed my dress, leaving me only in my new lacy underwear set I bought especially for this occasion. He removed his trousers and boxers, kneeling on the bed between my legs. He was already standing to attention and slid the condom on easily. Thank God for sex-ed classes and bananas! I pulled down my underwear and kicked them onto the floor as he leaned over my body, resting his weight on one arm as he positioned himself at my entrance.
