Chapter 13
'It feels like my head is full of sand,' Lexi thought as she woke and rolled over in the bed. The mental image made her thirsty when she realised her mouth was also dry as the desert. She slipped from Jayce's navy bedsheets and searched the floor for her dress before sneaking down the hallway to the bathroom.
The sink she'd cleaned so thoroughly was now splattered with toothpaste. It took her a moment to clean it away before running the tap and guzzling the water like an animal at a trough.
She remembered the sink cupboard had paracetamol, so helped herself to a couple, figuring they wouldn't mind.
'They only cost 19p after all,' she reasoned.
When she opened the bathroom door Aaron was standing so close she almost screamed.
"You were loud," he said. No hello. No small talk.
"Sorry," she uttered and went to scoot

Lexi searched through the cupboards for some variety of breakfast food. As she reached into the top shelf of the pantry, feeling about for a box of cereal, a bag of oats tipped over and had plastered her face and hair in a white mist before she could take a step back.When she backed from the pantry, blowing oaty dust from her lips, she saw Sam look up from the table behind a fort of cereal boxes. He crunched on his mixture of honey nut hoops, frosted flakes and chocolate puffs while stifling his laughter.In a huff, feeling her right eye twitching, she grabbed the flakes and poured herself some milk. When Sam gave in to the urge to laugh in her face, she shook her head in his direction, covering him and his food in the oaty mess."Oh, I'm glad to see you've cheered up," Mum said as she breezed through the kitchen, fixing her earrings and puffing up her hair. She gave each of the children a kiss before filling her thermo

"What the hell?" Dave whispered. It was more a hiss than a whisper, coming out louder than the boy probably intended."Keep your voice down and act cool, okay?" Sam whispered without looking up."What's with you and Jayce Riley?" Kevin asked."Are you tight with him now?" Dave asked. "When on Earth did that happen exactly?"The boys were in his face, bombarding him with questions he couldn't even begin to answer. He had no clue as to why Jayce was suddenly acting so strange.Not knowing what to tell them, he tutted and shoed them away. After the whole fiasco with Angelica, he wasn't in the mood for a Spanish inquisition.His mates followed him through to the main building and there she was, standing in her usual spot with her best friend Kaycie.When their eyes met, he scowled and looked away. She looked pained and sad, as though she want

With his friends in tow, Sam ambled over to his usual table. When Jayce shouted him over everyone in the vicinity glanced up, some staring for longer than others. His friends froze briefly before muttering that it was okay."You best go sit with him," Kevin whispered. They didn't dare invite themselves along, knowing it wasn't a good idea to try to join Jayce without his expressed invitation.Jayce kicked out the chair next to him, smiling up at him like they were best friends. His return smile felt forced and strained, as if his lips were made of rubber not skin. Hopefully, nobody would notice.'Do they honestly expect you to not be nervous?'he wondered. As he looked about the table, he guessed the answer was yes. They looked back at him with the same expression as when they chatted among themselves.'Am I one of them now?'Sam wondered.

Lexi stared at her phone. It hadn't chimed all night. Chris had barely spoken to her at university—just curt responses to questions—so it wasn't likely that he would send her any messages.'Should I message him to apologise?'she wondered.'To tell him I didn't realise he intended the night out as a date?'There was little point. Even if she had realised, it wouldn't have made any difference. She was tied to Jayce. He could ruin her reputation and her brothers. Even if she didn't crave his attention, that wouldn't change.Jayce was yet to text her either. He hadn't said he would, so it wasn't as if he was wilfully ignoring her. Still... she'd been staring at that empty inbox for hours now.When the notification bell did finally chime, Lexi's heart almost burst from her chest. Her heart filled her being with delicious adrenaline as she read his name. That

The following morning Lexi only had a single lecture. She decided to skip it and get the notes online rather than face Chris. It was a cowardly move, but laziness was as much of a motivating factor as her aversion to being shunned. It sucked having no mates. Sitting alone with nobody to talk to only transported her back to the school days when her friends abandoned her. That, combined with the fact she'd barely gotten any sleep last night, meant a morning off was the only real option.Jayce had sent her home just after midnight, but she hadn't been able to fall asleep until after 3 am. She had laid in bed, eyes open and staring at the ceiling, reliving the experience.He'd kept her tied up on the floor and teased her and watching her squirm for what felt like hours as she'd begged for the sweet relief of his touch. She remembered the ecstasy when he'd pressed the tip of his cock up to her entrance, barely making contact. How he'd laugh

Once he'd arrived at the school gates Sam didn't hesitate in joining Jayce and the others. He'd had a good time at Danny's house, and was glad to finally have friends who weren't a hindrance to his gaming. Ahmed wasn't just more skilled than Kevin and Dave put together... he also made Sam look like a noob.Danny also had a very attractive older sister who insisted on sitting out the living room in a see-through nightie, much to the delight of the lads. She'd come over to ask about 'the new boy,' and had given him a hug when Jayce explained the Angelica situation."Want one?" Jayce said after greeting him with a fist bump, offering his pack of cigarettes. A quick scan of the others told him they all smoked.'Can I say no?' he wondered in a panic. 'Am I allowed to be different?'His mind wandered back to his forms lecture on peer pressure.

Lexi watched the video over and over before finally messaging the guy—Edward."What do you want?" she asked him.Instead of replying, he sent another video. The scene in this one was familiar, but only because it was the field of the school she had attended. The one her brother went to.'And Jayce.'Jayce didn't feature heavily in the video, she realised, though he was present. The main focus was her brother, who punched another guy in the face before turning to Alfie Peters and beating the crap out of him. She winced as the poor lad's nose exploded into a burst of red and had to look away. When she glanced back at the screen, she saw him crawling to Sam, and for a wonderful moment Sam looked unsure."Don't do it, Sam," she whispered.She closed her eyes as her brother raised his leg to kick the boy, feeling her stomach turn in sympathy w

"Come over after school," he texted."On my way," Lexi replied from the bus, smiling. She felt in good spirits after spending lunch with Jenna, Scott and his engineering mates. They were a nice bunch, and not bad looking in some cases, but Jenna had sternly told them to keep their hands off."She's taken, so don't go getting any funny ideas," she had warned them, which Lexi was grateful for. It meant the issue with Chris wouldn't repeat itself.Chris had shocked her by saying hello today. He even managed to grace her with a thin smile. Things were looking up.'Except for you,'Lexi thought, staring at Edward Connor's profile picture. He hadn't sent any more video's or messages, leaving her utterly confused as to what his motives were. All she could do was wait and hope he didn't pull anything weird.Out of sheer nosiness, she scrolled through his picture
