The next day at school proved to be quite the struggle. Turns out orgasms were only fun when you were getting them. Afterwards, you were sore in places you never imagined being sore and you couldn't exactly talk publicly about it.
This was the exact dilemma I was in. The whole day, I had had to keep up with Nellie while trying not to limp or show that I was still having problems walking. Interestingly, Derris and I hadn't even slept together yet.
We concluded that it would be best if we took things slowly but he'd definitely taken things way too fast yesterday if you get what I mean.
Still, the thought of being with Derris and being as intimate with him as a woman and a man could get excited me more than I could say. He would be my first which was fitting considering he'd been my first everything; my first crush, my first true love, first kiss, first heartbreak and just yesterday, he'd given me my first orgasm.
Perhaps, it was time we made it official and
It took a while before I was able to recover from the kick to the guts and slap that Aria gave me. When I did, I stood up and began hitting on the door, hoping and praying that somebody heard me but it was almost as if I was all alone.After I eventually grew tired, I fell to the floor in tears of despair. Who would have thought that after going this far, all my efforts would be thwarted by my boyfriend's jealous ex?This couldn't be the end, right? It couldn't end like this.I buried my face in my hands and ran my hands through my hair while wondering what was the next step from here. Was anyone going to find me today? Was I going to have to spend the night here?I looked around the dark and dusty room, a shiver running down my spine at the idea of sleeping here overnight. The thought was not a pleasing one.I continued to think and think about what to do and had just about given up hope when my hand brushed against something. Slowly, I reached fo
"Allison, what are you doing?" Nellie queried, quizzical eyes fixed on Derris and me who, only minutes ago, had been in each other's arms."Um Nellie, I can explain — ""We're together. Allison is my girlfriend and I'm her boyfriend," Derris announced, draping his arm around me and pulling me close. The look on Nellie and Max's faces made me wish I could step away from Derris but I didn't want to make things any more awkward than they already were."Boyfriend? You're joking, right? Tell me you're joking!" Nellie insisted."He's telling the truth. We're... dating," I managed to say, unable to look at either Nellie or Max in the eyes."Allison! Why would you keep something that huge away from me? Was that what you meant to tell me? Wait, was he the reason — Oh God! Have you two slept together?!" Nellie exclaimed, a horrified expression on her face."No, no. Of course not," I quickly answered. "And I was going to tell you — ev
Slowly, after giving it a lot of thought, I began to walk towards the car which still hadn't moved. I couldn't see in because all the windows were tinted so I decided it was best to just find out what was going on instead of wondering.But I trusted Derris and I knew that nothing was going on in the car.On reaching the car, I tapped on Derris' window and watched the window come down."Hey, Derris." I planted a kiss on his lips before passing a look at Aria who I noted had her shirt unbuttoned. Noticing the change in my expression, Derris looked behind at and groaned."For the love of God, Aria, can you just do without acting? Did you seriously have to try and pretend as though something was going on even though nothing was!""It's pretty obvious, Derris. Stop leading poor Red here on and just get with me already," she grabbed his hand and was about to place it on her chest but I wasn't having any of it.I grabbed Derris' wrist and freed him
The article was taken down a day after it was uploaded and even though people continued to talk about it, it eventually died down after a video of a cat riding a unicycle went viral. How fitting was it that it took a cat to bail me out of my misery.Nevertheless, Derris and I went public with our relationship and despite all the negative attention it gave me, I was now getting into the act of not giving a fuck.But for the most part, things were going great. The competition was coming to an end soon and I was determined to win. I had a pretty good chance of doing so.I was kind of a fan favourite and the judges liked me well enough.I'd easily made it past the quarterfinals and today was the semifinals. The objective for today's event was partners.We were all asked to pick a partner with whom we would dance and the type of dance we would perform was picked out of a hat for us. I picked ballroom dancing and chose Derris to be my partner of co
The next day, I woke up literally sore everywhere but with a smile on my face nevertheless.I had sex yesterday. With Derris Fox for that matter. In all my years of dreaming about and imagining, I never thought that I would actually lose my virginity to Derris of all people.Was I happy about it though? Of course.I sat up in bed with the covers around my chest but Derris was not beside me. I wasn't bothered by it though. As I made to grab my dress which had been discarded yesterday, I noticed a bloodstain on the bed and smiled.Just then, the door opened and Derris walked, carrying a breakfast tray. On seeing that I was up, he grinned and approached the bed."I'm happy to see you are awake. Thought you might like breakfast in bed.""Yippee!"I sat back in bed and instantly grabbed the cup of tea on the tray, inhaling a whiff of it first before taking a sip of the tea."Ugh! I really needed that," I moaned, dropping the c
Somehow, I survived the rest of the day at school. Then again, I'd spent the most of it in the sick bay. While I was there, my phone rang once.It had been a call from Derris. I had no interest in talking to him so I let Nellie deal with it. I hadn't said a word since asking Nellie if it was real and I didn't know if I had the strength to speak.What was there to say? What could you say after something like that? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.The walk from the sick bay to the parking lot was perhaps one of the most challenging things I had ever had to go through.I was the center of attention at that moment and I could feel every demeaning stare, hear every hateful comment...Nellie tried her best to shield me but she was only one person and when someone thrust their leg in my path out of the blue, I tripped and fell face first on the floor.The laughter that followed after I had been hurt was as hurtful as it was loud. Aside from Nellie, no
The week after Max's visit, I returned to school after a lot of prodding from Max and Nellie. Another reason for my return to school was that I didn't want my dad to become suspicious and find out the real reason why I had been skipping school.That morning, I donned a hoodie over my school uniform and pulled my hair back into a ponytail to avoid being recognized. I showed up to school alone and apart from a few stares here and there, no one knew it was me.My first destination on arriving at school was the principal's office. Nellie had told me about his instruction to see me whenever I resumed back to school.His secretary led me to his office where she left us alone. I felt awkward seated opposite him but I knew this day would come eventually.After he was finally done going through the files in front of him, he pushed them aside and looked directly at me."How are you doing today, Miss McConnell?" he began, adjusting the glasses he had on the b
A few weeks ago, I was the girlfriend of a popstar. Hated but untouchable. Now, I was lower than the lowest. So low that I could be harassed in public without anyone standing up for me... that is until my “savior” came to the rescue.Did I want to be saved by this person? Absolutely not. Did I need to be saved though? Yes, very much.The hallway was so silent, it was eerie. My chest was pounding so hard against my chest, I was sure he could hear it. He looked pretty much the same as the last time I saw him. I didn't know what I was expecting him to look like seeing as it had only been a week and a few days since we last saw each other.As for me though, so much had changed.How ironic that he came at the right time to view the results of his handiwork."Why did you touch her? What— Who gave you the right to lay a fucking hand on her?!" Derris demanded, leaning into the dude who shrank away from him."I-I'm sorry. I&md
"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" I inquired, looking at his stitched-up wound with concern. "I'm sure. You heard the medic. It wasn't really serious. The bullet just grazed me. I'll be fine," he assured me but it did nothing to abate my worry. "But still... You could have been seriously injured. Why did you have to rush in like that?" "It was all worth it to make sure you didn't leave here in a body bag. I'd do anything to protect you," he stated, staring seriously at me. "How about you try not to die while you're at it?" He chuckled. "I'll do my best." I nodded to show that I was satisfied and continued to look at his wound. "Allison?" he called. I looked up from the wound. "Yes?" "About what Aria said—" he started. I raised my hand to stop him. "I don't want to hear it. Be it the truth or not," I told him. "I still want you to know. I've kept it to myself for so long but I didn't know how I w
I had several hours before my flight to England which was taking off early tomorrow morning. Nellie being Nellie, she'd organized a get-together for all of us. A farewell party for me.At the party, she'd decided to embarrass me by unexpectedly showing up with an album containing pictures from my childhood that had somehow ended up at her place.Baby photos, bath photos, birthday photos, embarrassing pictures; it was there and Nellie was taking great delight in my embarrassment."I hate you!" I whispered to her while Max and Derris were laughing over a picture taken of me trying to steal a piece of my birthday cake before the birthday and ending it with it all over."Aww! I love you too, boo," she replied, blowing a kiss at me. I rolled my eyes at her before attempting to snatch the album from them."Hey! What gives?" Max whined. "I think that's enough pictures for one day, don't you think? Besides, aren't you guys supposed to be sad that I'm leavi
Neither Derris nor I spoke about the situation with his mom again. Things were a little tense because of it so ignoring it was probably for the best. The next day, Derris got discharged from the hospital so he could finally go home which was enough cause for celebration. But I was also reminded of the fact that that meant I would be leaving soon. I had told my dad to book another flight, guaranteeing him that nothing was going to stop us from leaving this time. The flight was booked to go in three days. Three days to say goodbye to everything and everyone I'd ever known and loved. It was a little depressing but I tried my best not to focus on my nearing departure and just live in the moment and at the moment, I was happy that Derris was doing okay and out of the hospital. After he was released to us, we — consisting of Max, Caleb, Jeremy, Nellie, Derris and I — piled into Max's car and drove to Derris' house. The atmosphere was filled with excitement
Derris made a quick recovery afterwards. It was probably because of his phobia for hospitals after his experience when he was younger but either way, I was happy about that. But despite all my pleas, he'd still refused to see his mom and even when she tried to speak to him, he'd either ignore her or coldly tell her to leave because she wasn't wanted. It was clear he'd made us his mind and that was what worried me. I knew that if he continued to hold on to his resentment for his parents, it would only come back to harm him later on. In a way, it already had. I just had to make him see that. A day to his discharge, I was with him in his ward, reading a book to him like he'd asked me to. When I looked up from the book though, he wasn't looking at me like he always did. Instead, he was staring into space thoughtfully. I dropped the book on my lap and tapped him. "Hey. What are you thinking about?" "Everything and nothing, I guess. Why'd you stop?"
Long story short, I missed my flight the next day. It was a little hard to explain why I couldn't leave town just yet to my dad but being the caring person he was, he understood. Since the family who bought our house didn't have plans to move in just yet, we didn't have to move out yet so our accommodation was settled, at least for now. The next few days after Derris' accident though, were anything but. As it turned out, his injuries were a lot severe and he had to be rushed into surgery two times while still being in a coma. Every moment he spent in surgery was a moment I spent wondering if he would come out alive. And when he did, I was torn between being happy that he made it out and devastated that he was still in a coma. But after seeing his car and the accident scene, it really was a wonder he hadn't died on the spot. Supposedly, Derris had crashed into a parked car from behind and then had his car run into by another car. The police rep
Things progressed smoothly for a while. My dad got a few offers for the house and eventually decided on one. With the down payment, we were able to find a little flat abroad which we paid for upfront.The plan was to move to England about a month before I was to resume at Sunnyside which would give us the time to settle in at our new place.To get rid of the stuff we couldn't bring with us, my dad insisted we had a yard sale which turned out to be a little harder than I thought.We kept only the things that were important to us and our family as a whole and put the more trivial things on sale but even then, seeing other kids touch my little sister's old dolls, the twin's colouring sets and other things like that...It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.But after the yard sale ended, it felt as though a load had been lifted off my shoulders and I could finally breathe. We'd kept those items around for so long and now that they were g
After my conversation with my dad, I got back to Mr Raymond as soon as possible and told him that I had accepted his offer. He was ecstatic, to say the least. He told me to inform him whenever I planned to come to England so my accommodation could be made available.I did, however, have a few months before the dance academy came back into session.My dad and I planned to move to England though as soon as the house sold so we were working towards that.The thought of moving filled me with fear and excitement. I would be leaving Nellie and the life I had known for years to an entirely different environment. Then again, after the year I had had, the prospect of moving was pretty exciting.It was a mix of emotions. Nellie had been pretty sad when I told her my plans."You know I'm always going to have your back no matter what. I'm so happy for you— and also sad. I'm going to miss you, Allison," she sniffled. I rolled my eyes at her dramatics.
Later that night, I was in my room, browsing through my computer for information about Sunnyside. Turns out it was a pretty big establishment and a highly respected one at that.I had no idea how I never knew about them but the more stuff I learnt about, the more my desire to attend the school was piqued.There was just one problem. The school was far away in England and would require me to stay there. Was I ready to uproot my life and that of my dad's? Would my dad even agree to it?I sighed as I turned off my laptop and walked over to my bed, sighing heavily as I flopped on the bed.I still hadn't told my dad about the leaked video and now there was this. The offer was literally godsent but what would my dad think of it?At that moment, there was a knock at my door before it was opened and my dad popped his head in. I sat upright and smiled as my dad walked in, bearing a tray."Hey Dad," I mumbled."Hey, sweetheart. Just thoug
The next few days after my return to school were tumultuous, to say the least. After what Derris did to the guy who assaulted me, no one approached me directly again.Instead, their attacks were more discreet. I got messages instead. Notes, private anonymous messages from people telling me all the nasty things that they couldn't say to my face for fear of upsetting Derris.Every day, I walked into school, looking at the faces around me, wondering who sent the last messages.Nellie told me to just ignore it and not read them but sometimes I just couldn't help it and I got hurt.Some were even accompanied by pictures from the clip and lewd messages. The video had been taken down but pictures couldn't exactly be erased.I tried to ignore it and not let all the whispers, murmurs and messages get to me like Nellie advised but it was easier said than done.I felt trapped at school like my every move was being watched and at home too. I knew that s
