“I’M SORRY, he did what?” Savannah practically screams in my ear after I’ve given her a brief run through of the events that took place earlier today.

“You heard me,” I groan, flopping back onto my bed to stare up to the ceiling.

“Please tell me his ass got expelled and his dad is kicking him the hell out. What the actual fuck? Who the hell would do something like that?”

“Those were my thoughts exactly. But no, he didn’t get expelled. In fact, he didn’t get so much as a slap on the wrist. Apparently, everyone involved covered for each other and since no one is talking, they had no way to prove that it was Oliver and Tiffany who aired the video.”

“Are you kidding me?” Her voice vibrates against my ear.

“I wish I were.”

“What about his dad? Certainly he’s not that stupid.”

“No, I think Paul knows it was him—even though Oliver swore to him and my mom that he had nothing to do with it. I’ve never seen Paul so angry. When I got home I could hear him yelling all the way from his study at the back of the house. And my poor mom. I’m not sure if she was more embarrassed of me or for me.”

“Why would she be embarrassed of you?”

“Did you miss the part where I touched myself in the video?” I say flatly.

“Yeah, but hello, what teenage girl hasn’t touched herself? Besides, it’s not like you were full on masturbating, right?”

“God no. My hand barely grazed the outside of my underwear,” I say for a second time. “But the video cuts off in a way that makes you think more is about to happen. It’s so bad, Savannah. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to show my face at school tomorrow.”

“Wait. You’re going to school tomorrow? After what happened today?” She seems as surprised as me by this news.

I don’t know why I agreed to show my face back in that building so soon after the video. Maybe because Zayden asked, and for whatever reason I couldn’t tell him no. Or maybe it’s because I know he’s right. Hiding is letting them win, and anyone who knows me knows that I’m way too damn stubborn to roll over and hand them a victory that easily.

Maybe that makes me stupid. Maybe that’s me asking for more trouble. But it’s the only way I know how to defend myself at this point.

“I have to,” I tell her after a long moment has passed. “It’ll only be worse if I stop showing up for a while. I can’t let them think that they’ve won.”

“You are a bigger person than I, Rylee Harper. I think I’d drop out of school and leave the state if something like that happened to me.” She pauses. “I still can’t believe Oliver would do that to you. Don’t get me wrong, I believe it, given everything else you’ve told me, but I don’t get it. You would think he’d want to get to know you before he tries destroying you.
