"You look beautiful." I tell Aurora as she opens the front door, she's wearing a beautiful black dress that brushes the floor as she walks and she must have heels on, because she's almost tall enough that I don't have to lean down when I kiss her.
"You don't look bad yourself." She grins, looking me up and down in the stupid tux I got just for her.
"Woohoo Rory, get your ass in here." Luke hollers, sticking his head out of the sunroof of the limo we rented, her friends slip passed us to climb inside.
As soon as we're in and the car starts to move, he pops the cork on a bottle of champagne while Jenny passes around plastic glasses.
Despite complaining how lame the night will be, he definitely seems to be enjoying himself, Ruby sits beside him, clinging to his arm as
I'm sprinting down the hallway towards my classroom, late. I really hate being late. It's not unusual unfortunately, because my mother lives by her own schedule, a world in which timings don't matter. Except they do, rigidly, in my world. The only reason I'm not constantly in detention for it is because I get good grades and my teacher, Mr Whiting, once tried to explain the importance of being prompt to my mother and ended up on the wrong end of one of her tirades about living in the moment rather than to some man-made timescale. According to my mum, nature gives you all the timings you need and it's unhealthy to go against nature. I usually drive in, but my car's in the garage, so until it's fixed I have to pester my mother and resign myself to the fact that I'm going to have to sprint to my first class. Turning the corridor, I slam into someone, ricocheting off of them and flying backwards onto the floor. Laughter erupts all around me as I ga
I'd been pissed off with Billy for dragging me to the freak party, just because we heard the music from his house and he wanted some free drinks, but it turned out to be a very interesting evening once the drunk ginger girl poured her cup over him.Not that I was still pissed off by then, I'd seen enough of that party to wonder why I'd never been before, booze everywhere and randoms hooking up in whatever room wasn't currently occupied.She was definitely the best part of the night, off her face and bitchy as hell, but still with it enough to lie when I asked her her name. Her anger towards me was obvious, for what I'm not quite sure, but once I kissed her she transformed.'Touch me.' When she'd whispered those words and spread her legs for me, I'd wanted to crush her up against the fence and take her right there.If only that idiot hadn't spoiled the mood, twice.I'd turned back to watch her limp away with her friends, my j
Sunday, I throw on jeans and a shirt, winding my hair up into a loose ponytail, I slide my feet into my comfy trainers and wait for Rae to pull up outside to take me out with them all.Shane's jacket is still on the chair in my bedroom and I have no idea how I'm going to give it back to him. The idea of seeing him, or more to the point, him seeing me and recognising me, turns my insides over. I can't think about it without worrying I'm going to puke."Aurora." My friends wave at me from the car excitedly and I hobble down the path to the car."What did you do?" Jenny asks in an amused voice, turning around to face me as Rae drives us to the cinema car park."Long story short, I was running and ended up getting tripped over and twisting my ankle.
I'm surprisingly keen to get to school, I left my jacket with Anne/Rory and I can't wait to see her. I've driven myself nuts fantasising about her this weekend, I need to get her out of my head and the only way to do that is to fuck her, and the only way to do that, is to find out who she really is.Even though I'm the first one in, my friends take forever to get here and then they're not interested in moving so we're late as usual. I keep an eye out for her walking into school, for some reason I expected her to be wearing my jacket. The idea giving me a little thrill, but so far I've not seen her and I'm starting to feel irritated.Mr Whiting doesn't even bother saying anything when we walk in mid lesson, just carries on talking as though we're not there. Is it any wonder we don't show an interest when he's clearly not bothered about us? I follow Luke to the desk, wondering where Anne/Rory could be and then something catches my eye.Oh for f
I'm crazy, I must be. I tell my reflection that night. I'd kept my head low when Shane walked in, hiding behind Rae and my books until he wasn't facing my direction anymore, but part of me had still wanted him to look straight at me, as though he knew it was me at the weekend. As though I wasn't just a stupid drunken opportunity. He didn't even look behind him, not once, I was sat there worrying myself stupid for absolutely nothing. I could hear Jenny stifling a giggle beside me the moment he saw his jacket and I was terrified he'd hear her and turn around, but he just tipped his chair up, kicked at his jacket and stared ahead of him. So why do I feel so disappointed?
Why can't I find her!? It's been almost a week, a frustratingly unsuccessful week with no sign of her, so I'm trying Luke's idea and finally giving in to Carrie Lawson, who's been batting her eyes my way since the end of last year. The second Luke and Ruby disappear upstairs, she climbs onto my lap, pushing her lips over mine and her tongue diving straight into my mouth. I try to focus on her, to enjoy touching her body, she's willing enough, but I wish she would shiver and moan the way Rory had, just something to show she's enjoying it and she's not just going through the motions. Stop thinking about her, focus! She slides off my lap, unzipping my trousers and grinning up at me. It's obvious what she's about to do and surprisingly, it does absolutely nothing for me. Pulling my cock out of my trousers, she sucks and rubs it, trying in vain to bring it to life. Absolutely nothing, I can't believe it. The second it's guaranteed some action,
I'm so excited it's Friday, I've managed to get through the week unscathed and tonight, to celebrate, we're going out to Andromeda's karaoke bar. I even drove in this morning, parking in the big car park up the road and walking the rest of the way in so I can drive us back to Jenny and Priya's after school. I'm stupidly early and I love it, Mr Whiting unlocks the door for me and I sit at my desk, opening my book on my phone and waiting for everyone else to arrive. "I'm just popping up to the staffroom, Aurora." Mr Whiting tells me, more out of courtesy than anything else. "Ok sir, do you need me to do anything?" "No, no, you just enjoy the peace and quiet." He smiles at me, gathering up his paperwork and opening the door. "Mr Woodson, can I help you?" I look up, my mouth wide open, as surprised as Mr Whiting that Shane is here so early. "No, sir." Shane replies, a big grin on his face. "Just couldn't sleep so thought I migh
I watch her over my book, wriggling in her seat under my gaze. I can't help but chuckle to myself, she might look all prim and proper today, her hair tightly tied back, barely any makeup and school books spread around her, but she's definitely the same wild girl I watched running naked through the streets and had writhing beneath me. My cock twitches to life in my jeans at the thought. She was fighting to keep control of herself just now, I know she was. I can't wait to touch her again, I love how much she wants me. I'm going to make her beg for it! This is going to be so much fun! Other students start filling the room and when her friends come in and sit beside her, I see her relax a little, but still she glances my way every so often. Every time our eyes meet, she blushes and looks away, I'm loving this reaction and wondering how else I can get to her today. I want to know for sure it wasn't just the alcohol making her moan at my touch.
"You look beautiful." I tell Aurora as she opens the front door, she's wearing a beautiful black dress that brushes the floor as she walks and she must have heels on, because she's almost tall enough that I don't have to lean down when I kiss her."You don't look bad yourself."

"Morning love muffin." Luke's smiling face rests on the pillow beside mine when I wake up. Oh god, what did I do? My gaze drops to his naked chest, a vague memory of standing in my underwear and kissing him flashes into my brain. "How much do you remember? Because, I shit you not, it was fucking amazing." "I don't remember anything." I say, burying my face in the pillow, forcing myself not to crawl away when his arm curls around my waist and he slides in too close. "I thought you might say that. So I've got us breakfast ready for round two this morning." He smacks my bottom and jumps out of bed. "How are you not feeling like death?" I complain, mor
Luke: Rory's at mine. Get here. Fast! It takes me ten minutes to get to his house, walking straight in and seeing her dress on the floor, two glasses on the table and an empty vodka bottle. Luke's on the sofa, his head in his hands, his shirt open all the way down. "I didn't, but shit did she make it hard not to." Luke slurs at me. "She's upstairs. Sort it out will you." She's under his quilt. She looks up at me, but struggles to focus. "Shane?" She gulps. "Are you ok?" "No." Tears run down her cheeks and I'm at her side, wiping them away with my thumbs
Something breaks inside me when I say those words. He looks so hurt and I can't stand to see it. I don't think about what I'm doing, I just start running. The pain in my legs and lungs helps block out the pain in my heart, so I keep running until I can't breathe. Panting heavily, I look around, I don't recognise anything around me. I turn in circles, trying to get my bearings when I notice a car pull up beside me. "Rory?" Luke lowers the window and I scowl, walking away from him. "Rory, get in the car, I'll take you home." "No, thanks I'm fine." He creeps along beside me. "I can see you're not. If I have to, I'll wrestle you in the damn thing, but I'm not leaving you here." I stop, turning to look at him. Everything hurts, I need it to stop hurting.
"Shane, what's going on?" My mother sits down on my bed. "Don't try to fob me off, you've been laying on the bed for days staring at the wall. Is it Aurora? Has she done something?" "We're done, I broke her mum, I broke us and I don't know how to fix it." She pulls me into her arms, cradling my head while I tell her what happened. About the bet, how I feel and how she won't let me explain. "It's fixable." My mum says decisively, stroking my hair back like when I was a child. "It'll just take a little time, tell her how you feel and show her how much she means to you. It'll work out, I'm sure of it." "Thanks." She leaves the room to answer the door. Minutes later, Luke appears dressed up in black jeans and a purple shirt. "Come on mate, we're getting your girl back, s
"Do you…" Danny appears beside me and I shake my head. "Not yet, I can't." I lock myself in the bathroom, breathing shakily, staring at my face in the mirror until I know I'm not going to fall apart. It'll get easier. Forcing a smile, I open the door, walking out, ignoring the concerned looks of my friends and pretending everything is fine. I will not let them break me. ¥ The next day I plan to pretend he doesn't exist, but he's waiting for me outside the doors with his friends. I hold m
Watching her drive away from me physically hurt, as though someone stuck a knife in my chest and sliced my heart in half before ripping it out through the hole. It takes me too long to recover and she's gone. Grabbing my phone, I know before I dial she's not going to answer, but I need to do something. Shane: Where are you? It's not like you think, please let me explain. I send her a message, running home to grab my car. She's not at her house, or any of her friends, so I just keep driving, hoping I'll see her somewhere. By seven, I've been back to her house twice and finally I see her car parked outside Danny's. "She doesn't want to see you mate, I'm sorry." Danny stands in the doorway blocking my path. A few of
Luke's sitting on his wall smoking when we pull up outside his house the next day. "You alright?" Shane says, eyeing him carefully when he chucks his cigarette onto the floor and grinds it with his shoe, breathing out a cloud of smoke before he steps into the car. "Yep, it's done." He says and Shane nods beside me, mouthing 'Ruby' at me as I pull the car onto the road. "Are you ok?" I ask, glancing at him in my rearview mirror, he gives me a massive smile and nods. "Course I am, just let me know when you ditch him and we can run away together, alright babe." He chuckles, patting Shane in the shoulder as if to say he's only kidding. "So no Billy?" Shane asks, making Luke chuckle.
I arrive back to pick her up early, planning to sit in the car and wait, but when a couple of parents start heading inside, I can't help myself hopping out of the car and following them. I hear her voice before I spot her, standing in the front of a group of teens, shouting instructions in a commanding voice and studying them all as they turn in sync with one another. The sound of their feet stomping in time echoes through the hall. She looks amazing, even in the shapeless blue uniform. I don't know why she didn't want me to see her. I watch mesmerized as she calls out instructions, marching alongside the cadets, turning them, marching them back. Correcting the few who make mistakes, she glances at the clock and calls out some more instructions. The cadets fall into a perfect square in front
