Music filtered over the gym speaker. Emily led me in by the wrist, and stalks off to seat with her boyfriend Ted on the top bleachers row. A rush of panic hits as I was jostled by students. As I watch, scanning my eyes to find an empty spot, a couple of freshmen move to sit next to Emily and Ted. The freshmen trip over themselves scrambling to get a seat.
I kept moving and finally spotted one empty seat… right next to a familiar figure slouching in the second row. I quickly turned around, desperately scanning the crowd for another open seat… any seat but this one… but they aren’t any. I considered sneaking out, until someone shouted from behind.
“hey! Sit your stupid ass down or else you want to watch from the trash”…
“ hello! you are obstructing my view!” another voice yelled out angrily.
I turned back around to meet Bay’s gaze. My heart jumped.
“Em… Bay, do you mind?” I stuttered.
Without saying a word, he scoot over and I squeezed in beside him. I sat, neither of us saying a word. He looks even more handsome in his basketball jersey... His chiseled biceps visible shooting out.
On the floor of the gym Dylan Ball, Bay’s BFF walks up the podium.
“how you doing Fothoman high?”
The students roar in response! The bleachers growling and shaking as the crowds pound their clenched fists on their chest. Dylan waved to the cheering crowd, flashing smile at them.
“welcome back, everyone. For the freshmen who doesn’t know me already, I’m Dylan Ball, your student body president. I know some of you are a little salty that summer is over, but trust me… this Is going to be one of your memorable school year. And on that note let’s kick this pep rally up… Fothoman Tigers style”… At his signal several cheerleaders jump up from the bleachers, bouncing and waving their pom pom excitedly.
One by one the cheerleaders tumble across the gym. Claire draws thunderous applause and cheers as she pulled off an effortless round-off in a backflip. "What a show off" I scorned silently… if there is anything Claire Gustavo is none for, it’s stealing a show. I feel sick already just by looking at her.
“Now that the cheer squad is done totally blowing our minds, let’s give it up for the Fothoman Tiger’s basketball ball team” Dylan announced.
More cheer and applause erupts as a group of basketball players including Bay forms up in front of the podium. I didn't even realize when he left his seat.

I stroll the hallway carefully trying not to bump into students filing out of the gym. I startled as strong hand clamps around my wrist and pulled me quickly into the bathroom before anyone could see. Bay pressed my mouth shut with his hand as he shoved me against the door. Using my weight to jam the door.
He pins my wrist over my head and trail hot kisses down my neck and chest, sucking hungrily on my breasts.
“ I have been wanting to do this to you all day” he growled into my ears.
“ please let me go… someone might come in”… I pleaded
“no one comes into the boys locker room without my express permission”… He said... kissing my lips passionately.
I meet his gaze dazedly, feeling drunk with desire, savoring the intent look on his face, his eyes dark and fathomless…
“I am not going to f*CK you today, but I will make you come on my finger”…. His voice husky.
His words leaves my body trembling... My pant soaked wet.
Then suddenly, he lifts me in his strong, muscled arm and deposited me on the toilet seat. He kneels and pulls my skirt up, rubbing my clit through my panties. Relishing a soft moan from me.
“I want you to stop wearing panties … I like seeing nothing on you. I want to take you anywhere and anytime without it getting in my way”… He said and I responded with a nod. He slowly slips the pant off me, my legs hanging over his shoulder. He spread out my legs and grinned before slide a finger inside my opening, drawing a sharp moan out of me. He thrust fast… looking deep into my eyes. I gasp, fighting not to moan out loud.
"yes! come for me" he said thrusting faster.
He continues until waves of ecstasy rushes over my body. My body vibrates as I tightened my grip on his jersey.
We heard footstep coming towards the door and we spring apart quickly smoothing our hair and clothes. The student tried to push the door open…
“is anyone there?”… the student asked.
“Get lost!” Bay responded and the student leaves cursing out.
He casts a quick glance at me before stalking out.
********
I came out to the hall like nothing happened. Emily called out to me. She was standing with Ted close to her locker, his arms snaked around her waist.
“Hailey! Over here!” she waves me over.
I walk over to them and give Ted a playful jab on the shoulder.
“hey Ted!”…
“I have been looking everywhere for you. Where did you run off to?”… She asked inquisitively.
“ I eeh… em! … I was in Mrs. Gupta’s office” I stuttered. Best save I could think of... Why Mrs Gupta though!
“Mrs. Gupta?... What for?
“ I went to sign up for the music club”
She scoffs “good luck with that… “
“you just challenged Claire Gustavo. Music club is her territory. She wins the competition every year. You would not want to try her, trust me “ Ted said.
“don’t worry! You can still beat her. I trust you” Emily said, crossing a hand on my shoulder. “is anyone one else hungry? Cos I’m starving”
With that, we darted our way into the cafeteria and settled on a table. Ted and I gave Emily our order and she walked off to get them.
“so, how was your summer?” Ted asked…
Just as I was about to respond my eyes flickers to Bay and Claire walking into the cafeteria, and I froze for a second.
“still into him, huh? Ted asked.
I flinched, as his voice shoots me out of my reverie.
“uh?... Who?”
He nod his head towards Bay. I looked at them sliding on top of a seat on the popular kids table. They are discussing and laughing with Dylan Ball. Claire leaned into his body, her hands sliding around his shoulder. He pulled her towards him. And just like that… they were kissing. Ted noticed the poisonous jealousy in my eyes.
“ don’t you think it’s time to move on? Just take a good look at Claire… look at her!... I’m sorry Hailey, but you cannot compete with that”…
“Don’t be a jerk Ted” Emily narrows her eyes angrily at Ted as she tossed the tray of food loudly on the table, sending some of them flying to the table.
“ I am just being honest with Hailey, why are you mad at me for telling her the truth?” Ted blows hot. “You call her your BFF yet you seat and lie to her?”…
Heads starts turning to our table. At this point I could feel tears prickling my eyes brought on my max of heartache and anger.
“who the hell are you to judge her?”…. Emily asked furiously “who gave you that right?
“Enough!” I yelled, jerking up from my seat. “both of you, that is enough!”…
Bay’s hard gaze falls on me… I looked over at him for a moment before rushing out of the cafeteria.
