In Trouble

I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. At first, I thought I was hallucinating or something close to that. Yet, the entertained chuckles told me otherwise as it emanated from the four boys except for Shawn who only stood with a straight face, eyes settled on my body but avoiding my gaze.

They were flashing their cameras and taking pictures of my nakedness!

The frenzy struck me so hard at first that I remained frozen with widened eyes. It wasn't until their laughter increased that I regained a bit of my senses and knew to cover myself up with the duvet.

“I can't believe half-nosed Calistar could look this hot without clothes.” Gabriel, one of our classmates thundered with taunt.

I had always known Gabriel was a jerk. He was always the first to call me out for staring at Shawn in class and also the one who invented the ‘Half-Nosed Calistar’ nickname.

I wished for the roof to fall on him right now and crush him to death.

With tears burning in my eyes, “Get out! Get out, you assholes!” I roared, voice husky with pain.

“Did you get that? Did you capture her mouth widely opened like that? Oh, gosh, it made her look like a low-budget Maleficent, man!” One of the boys remarked.

How could Shawn sleep with me, take my innocence only to stab me in the back like this?

I thought of how disappointed my parents would be to find the nudes of their daughter flying all over the internet. I had failed them. My eyes began to flood with tears.

“Awww. Look at her, the hoe is crying like she didn't enjoy Shawn’s graceful dick overnight!”

“Looks like Shawn won the bet. I never for once thought she would allow him to fuck her after just a few hours of dancing when he hasn't even ever spoken to her before in class.”

“Of course, she would! She's dumb!”

“She’s ugly too. With her nose damaged like a chip on my granny’s old cupboard!”

“Now, she's going to fetch us so many likes so we won't suffer a loss when we pay Shawn his money.”

They were going to post my nudes truly. I mean, I knew they might but a part of me wish they wouldn't.

This meant I was done for. Totally done for and a disgrace to my family. I was helpless and being bullied in the gravest ways. About three minutes later, the boys decided they were done with me and left.

“We've already had enough fun. Now, let's go show it to the others.” Gabriel announced and what followed was their retreating steps.

Immediately they were gone, I slipped out of the goddamn bed and made for my clothes. A little memory of how he removed my dress flew into my head and I shut it out.

My tears continued to streak down as I got dressed and when I finally was done, I knew there was no way in hell that I would go out through the door.

There was only one way out. To jump through the window. Thankfully, Shawn’s window didn't have a burglary, so my job would be easier. However, jumping down a window was something I had never done before.

I wondered if I wasn't going to break a leg. Anyway, I opened the window and glanced down. The ground didn't seem too far but it scared me still.

“Oh, God. I hope I don't nastily land on the ground.” I breathed and was hesitant until I pictured how furious my parents would be at me right now.

The entire universe had chosen to work against me, it seemed. Another tear escaped my eyes as I took a few steps back, ready to jump.

I seized my breath and muttered “So help me God,” before jogging to the window and…

Thud!

I landed on the floor, my weight heavily pressed on my left hand.

“Arghhhh!” I wriggled with gritted teeth as my body made an impact on the ground. I could have sworn I heard my left hand’s bone crunched.

I was still in Shawn’s compound and it was the last place I wanted to be right now. That propelled me to shoot up, ignoring the pain in my arm, and tiptoed out.

I watched out for the presence of anyone before proceeding to the gate. As I opened it, I could hear their laughter and indistinct discussions somewhere in front of the pool.

No one needed to tell me what was making them so entertained.

“Bloody jerks!” I coughed out with a tone laced with sorrow before exiting the compound.

My tears were beginning to fall again but I had to constantly wipe them off to avoid attracting gazes. I found that it was still very early in Dawn and the day was yet to fully break.

“Thank the stars I'm not that late,” I whispered to myself and continued my journey home.

It took a few encounters with passersby for me to notice I was being looked at weirdly by everyone. What crossed my mind first was that those animals had posted my nudes.

So fast already? I wondered to myself, wishing the earth swallowed me up. Never had I felt this humiliated, not even when I was bullied and teased in school.

However, this lasted until a lady dressed in formal clothing walked up to me. “My dear, did you forget your cycle?” She inquired first and I stared at her with a questioning gaze. “The entire of your leg is stained with blood.” She further explained.

B — blood?

Before even thanking her, I strained my neck behind me and indeed found it. On straight and zig-zag lines were rusty blood stretching from beneath my dress to my ankle.

My heart skipped a beat when I first saw it. It wasn't what she thought it was. It was no menstrual blood but virginity blood.
