“I wish you were still a virgin and that I was your first.”
“Oh, lord. That would hurt. You’re so big.” Her eyes are huge, making me chuckle.
“Tell me the rest of the story.”
Lexi’s brightness dims, and the haunted look takes over her face. “The next day, Shane showed up at my door with flowers and a box of chocolates, begging for another chance. He said he was drunk and stupid. We spent the day together, and he took me to the old, haunted jail I’d wanted to go to. Afterward, he took me back to his house.” She swallows hard. “His parents weren’t home. I started thinking Lauren was right. I blamed myself for Shane getting drunk and flirting with other girls because I was a tease.”
Oh, fuck. He played her.I shouldn’t judge the guy since I’ve done the same thing, but I do. My hands clench into fists.I hate that fucker and want to beat the hell out of him.
“Shane took me to his room, where we picked up right where we left off at the party. I’d been considering losing my virginity to him, and when Shane pulled away and told me he loved me, I believed him. When he asked if I’d have sex with him and held up a condom, I agreed. I was on the pill because my periods were painful and my flow was so heavy, so I felt we were well protected.”
Shame colors Lexi’s cheeks. Her voice is low, and her shoulders slump. “I was shocked that once I gave him the green light, Shane started becoming more aggressive and demanding than I was used to. His gentle hands turned rough, his kisses were forceful and demanding, and he didn’t bother making sure I was ready before he shoved himself inside me. I cried out from the pain, my nails clawing at his skin, telling him he was hurting me. But he didn’t care. I begged him to be gentler, but I was ignored. When I told him to stop, he thrust hard twice before he orgasmed.”
Shane is a dead man.
“I didn’t know he was recording it. He sent the video to his friends while I cleaned up in the bathroom. I started getting text messages from my friends as soon as I was inside my front door. It was a wildfire, people sharing it.” Tears course down her cheeks. The pain in her eyes is palpable.
I’m gritting my teeth so hard I’m surprised they haven’t broken. Blood pumps through my veins, hot and viscous.
Shane was inside Lexi. Then he fucking shared the video, and everyone saw her naked.
Uncontrollable jealousy swirls inside me, a growl in my throat as I envision beating that fucker until the room turns crimson. I want to fucking kill everyone in that school who saw her.
I know where this is headed. The women are always made to be the bad girls in these situations. “Did the students think you were a slut because of it?”
She nods. “They believed I permitted him to record it when I didn’t. He never wavered from his version of the story that I wanted to be filmed. Everyone believed him over me.” She hangs her head, chestnut locks curtaining her face.
My hands cup her face. “He’s in the wrong, not you.” My jaw ticks, the rage burning like a fire inside me. “I want to fucking kill him for it.” My smile is full of malice. “Now I’ll get the chance, since the fucker is at Groveton.”
“I have no idea why. I haven’t seen him since my senior year of high school.”
“What did you do when the video went viral?”
Lexi shrugs. “What could I do but hold my head up high and pretend they weren’t killing me inside with their taunts and jeers?” Her hands slide to my shoulders, digging into the fabric of my shirt. “His friends wanted to sleep with me, thinking I was easy. It was horrific, but I had to act like I wasn’t affected. They were like sharks out for blood. The more tears I shed, the more they beat me down and derived pleasure from it.”
My eyebrows shoot up, impressed by her strength. “But you figured it out and refused to break for them.”
She nods. “Eventually, they got tired of it and moved on.” A tremble runs through her body. “I thought Shane moved on, too. I have no idea why he’s at Groveton and approached me. I don’t understand why he’d use my favorite masked man to taunt and chase me.”
Oh, fuck.It’s confession time.
My mouth is dry as I swallow, forcing the words out. “That’s because it wasn’t Shane in that costume. It was me… and Trent.”

CONFESSIONS
Alexis
My mouth hangs open in shock as I blink rapidly, my gaze locked on Evan. His words echo inside my head.“That’s because it wasn’t Shane in that costume. It was me… and Trent.”
My eyes narrow as the rage courses through my body. I shove off his lap, yanking at the blanket around me to untangle my feet so I can stand. Whipping around to face him, my hands are on my hips. “What do you mean it was you and Trent?”
Evan sits forward, his unapologetic gaze on mine. “I wanted you to spend the night here, not at Sophia’s. I dressed as Ghostface to scare you, so you’d stay here instead.”
I stare at him for a few beats, analyzing his expression. “Why did you choose Ghostface, Evan?”
He winces, but it’s gone instantly, almost as if it never happened. But I saw it.
