Chapter 7

Kyle

I sit on the bed watching Alice sleep like the creep that I am. It can’t be helped though. She’s got me fully entranced. I’m caught. Captured. And I don’t want to be free. Freedom is something I’d never ask as her prisoner.

As I sit there, I hear the party downstairs get louder and louder. Not sure what to do, I pull my phone out, deciding that scrolling social media is better than nothing. Besides, I don’t want her to freak if she wakes up to my eyes roaming over her naked body.

It only takes me a moment to pull up our school’s app, an idea our media teacher came up with last year as a way to keep students connected. Poor woman didn’t realize she was creating a hookup and gossip funnel for the masses. It’s normally something I avoid, but curiosity has me clicking the little icon before I can think better of it.

Immediately, regret fills me. On the main page is a picture of me after the game tonight standing with Jason and Davis. The caption says, “Most loved, Least desired.” There are over a thousand shares, with nearly twice as many comments.

Clearly forgetting how ugly people can get, I click to load the comments. Again, regret is immediate. Comment after comment talks about how we are the best players in each of our sports, about how awesome we are on the field or on the court, but how we lack the looks girl’s desire. A few dudes chime in with selfies of six packs and the typical ‘washboard abs’ that seem to get attention.

I spend the next five minutes reading almost every single comment on the thread. By the time I finish, I feel like the beast that they’ve called me. My eyes roam over to Alice, her body splayed out on the bed, my marks all over her body from earlier.

She deserves better.

She deserves those guys commenting on that post. The ones who she could walk around with openly, without someone snickering or commenting behind her back about how much she’s settled.

I won’t hold her back from that. Not stopping to rethink my decision, I pull out my phone to shoot off a text to Jason.

Me: Send up Alice’s friend. She needs her help.

Jason: Everything, ok?

Me: It will be. Just send her friend.

Putting my phone away, I slip back on my clothes, my feet taking me to the door. When I get to it, I turn one last time to look at the beauty before me.

We could have been good. We could have been magical. But that’s another life. An alternate one. One where the beauty ends up with the beast. That’s not our story though. Not this time.

I crack the door open, sliding through as gently as I can so no one can see Alice laid out. There’s only a couple more people up here at this point, but I still won’t risk it. I’m leaving to protect her. Letting others see her vulnerable state would counteract that.
