ALEXANDER

As I remembered what had happened, a smile crept across my face. She had finally agreed to mine, succumbed to my seduction, and agreed to be my toy. My ground was killing me, but I ignored the pain. Nothing could compare to the happiness I was experiencing.

I was going to be the first guy to taste her, to feel her skin against mine while she moans my name. That was a perfect victory, and nothing could top it. I’d just accomplished my goal of becoming her first boyfriend in everything.

If I’d known that trapping her in the female restroom would get me the answer I needed, I wouldn’t have waited this long; she would have been mine all along. I wouldn’t have needed to announce to the school that I was going after her; I would have collected her and thrown her away like the others.

So, I guess the famous saying “save the best for last” was true.

I’d always wondered how innocent girls would behave in bed, and I was about to find out. It wouldn’t be long before she’s on all fours begging me to take her.

“What are you doing staring into space and smiling to yourself?” Nathan asked, snapping me out of my imagination. I was with the boys.

“Not much. I’m just excited,” I explained.

“And what’s making you happy?”

“I finally caught someone I’ve been chasing for a while,” I told them, unable to hide the smile I’d been trying to hide since leaving the ladies’ restroom. Who knew thinking about it would expose my little secret?

“You caught the virgin geek?” Aaron asked, and I nodded.

“Damn!! How did you do it? I heard she’s been turning guys down; how come she agreed to someone like you?” Beckham spoke, and I frowned at what he said.

“Someone like me? What is that supposed to mean?”

“Nothing... Nothing… I’m just curious why she chose to date the bad boy, especially a flirt like you when good guys have been coming her way,” Beckham added.

“Maybe she likes bad boys like me. Anyway, she wasn’t an easy target to get. She was more difficult than the others,” I explained.

“How did you get her then?” Aaren questioned.

I took a deep breath before explaining what happened in the restroom and how I threatened to expose the fact that she was with a guy in there. I went on to say that she valued her reputation and was more concerned with what others thought of her than with what I would do to her.

“She has no idea she has to be worried about what I will do to her when I’m done with her. When I’m done with her, she will start thinking about her reputation. The heartbreak would be the talk of the school,” I added, a creamy smile on my lips.

“You went all out to get this one. If people didn’t know about you, they’d think you’re already in love with her,” Nathan said, and I almost choked.

“Say that again…”

“I said-”

“Forget it, that’s complete bullshit. Do you believe I’d fall for someone like that? She is beneath me and not up to my standards. I’m only interested in her to satisfy my curiosity.”

“And what could that possibly be?” Nathan questioned.

“I want to know how it feels to disvirgin a geek and have my way with her. I’m just curious if they’ll be as bad as the other girls I’ve been with. She’s the perfect person to experiment with,” I told them, and they all laughed except Aaren, who was unhappy with my decisions.

“She is innocent. What will you gain by hurting someone as vulnerable as her? Why don’t you take on the more experienced girls and let her be? From what I’ve seen, she doesn’t have anyone she likes and she doesn’t hang out with guys. Do you want her first experience with love to be a bad one?” Aaron shot an accusing question.

I nodded. “That’s exactly what I’m looking for, Aaren. I don’t care if her heart is weak or if she has never experienced love. I don’t fucking care! All I care about is myself, my sexual pleasure, and the bliss I derive from it all.”

“I have always supported you, Alex, but this time I am withdrawing my support. I think you forgot one of our rules about not preying on the weak and innocent,” Aaren said.

I made fists with my hands while he was talking. He was getting on my nerves. My fist would have already made contact with his face if he wasn’t my friend. “Are you in love with her?”

“W-W-What?” he stuttered, startled.

“I asked if you were in love with her,” I asked the question again.

“No, I’m not. She’s not my type.”

His response made me smile. “Good. I’d hate to have to fight you for her because it would be bloody.” I told him before grabbing my jacket from the table and putting it on.

“Wait, Alexander… Are you serious about hitting your best friend over a lousy girl?” Beckham asked, and I smirked as I turned to face him.

“Who knows? We’ll just have to wait and see,” I said as I walked away, ignoring their calls.

I was breaking our rules. The golden rules were never to be broken. I just broke two of the five rules: never date or play a weak girl, never hit your best friend because of a girl or a boy, never date your best friend’s toy, and never break the friendship bond even if you are tired of it, and never reveal the secret.

All because of her, I was breaking two rules. What made her so special that I was willing to go this far?

I, Alexander Walter, have never been caught or heard of being seen in a female restroom trying to catch the attention of a girl. Why would I want to go that far when all the ladies I’d ever wanted were standing in a straight line waiting for me to choose the one I liked? Except for her, that is.

What was going on with me? I needed to figure out why I was acting the way I was.

I walked to my car and sat down, my mind racing with thoughts. I didn’t want to lose my friend, but I also wanted to finish what I started. If I backed out now that she has decided to date me, I would be the talk of the school, and everyone would mock me. My reputation will suffer, and everything I’ve worked for will crumble.

I was torn between letting go and continuing to strive.

“Hey, man, are you sure you're alright? It’s unusual to see you act like that. Are you sure you’re cool?” Beckham’s voice startled me. I wasn’t expecting him to chase me down after my little display. I expected them to ignore me, but seeing Beckham here meant the other two were nearby, and they most likely pushed him to talk to me.

“Yeah, I’m fine. I just have a few things I need to work on,” I explained.

“Is it related to Bambi?”

I nodded at his question.

“I’m sorry for my earlier outburst. I’m not going to break the rules or anything, but there’s something about her that I can’t let go of, and maybe when I get what I want, she’ll become useless to me and I’ll realize she’s not what I want,” I told him honestly.

“I told the guys you were bluffing about hitting Aaren. They told me to come and check you out.”

When he said that, I smiled. I was right, they sent him over. “Yeah, I was bluffing, I wouldn't break the friend code.” I smiled as I realized he was the only one who knew when I was telling the truth and when I was lying.

“Why her, bro? Why not the hot girls you’ve always dated?” he questioned.

“Because she reminds me of her.”

“Her?! Come on, dude, they have nothing in common! She was wild and crazy, whereas this girl is innocent and a geek. Smart and calm, not like that dummy,” Beckham said, and I lightly punched him. “Sorry dude, but the truth has to be said.”

“You are right, but I’m not referring to their characters; Katherine has the same character as M-jay. That’s why I need to be near her and just rile her up and dump her. That’s the only way I can get rid of this crazy thought in my head.”

“I understand you, bro, but what if after you get what you want, you end up regretting your actions?”

“I’m not sure... but I doubt I will regret it.”

“We’re here for you,” Beckham said, and I nodded. “But first, get to know her and get to know her person before thinking about going down memory lane.” I nodded in agreement with his suggestion.

I hoped that at the end of it all, I wouldn’t end up losing it again. I wasn’t going down that road again. It was a promise I made to myself, and I needed to ensure I kept it
