Senior Year Soundtrack

FRI

I was stunned.

Reagan Jones was kissing me, in-fact Reagan Jones was making out with me. Her tongue pressed forward and forced its way into my mouth. I succumbed to her advances and kissed her back. It was all so unexpected that made it so much hotter. Her hands moved from my legs and held my face. Naturally I moved my hands and held her sides. My cock was reacting too and was growing fast.

She eventually pulled away though and sat back down on her seat. Her face a little blushed.

“God that was hot” she licked her lips.

“Wow.” I breathed. 

“Wow indeed” she grinned. “Who knew you were such a good kisser.”

“Not bad yourself” I smirked.

“Oh what a tease” she slapped my leg playfully.

“That was hot Benji but we best keep that to ourselves for now!”

“Yeah not a bad idea.”

“I’m not sure how your sister would take it either” her smile faded as she hung her head.

“I don’t know, you might be surprised.”

“Anyway I just got lost in the moment and god I could do it again.” There seemed genuine conflict in her before she stood up. She flattened out her summer dress and held out her hand. “As much as I loved that it’s best we leave it at that. I don’t know if could control myself.”

I took her lead and stood up.

She steps closer and holds out her hand, trying to be somewhat more professional. “Welcome aboard and thank you Benji! Look forward to hearing you play.”

“Me too and you’re welcome” I shake her hand and it lingers before we pull away and I leave.

As I leave the library Jodie and Megan gave me smirks as they then entered the library. I just shook myself as I headed for the parking lot. I checked my phone and had two missed calls from Seb and a text.

‘Dude, Scarlett told me that you had to go instead of her. Do you still need a ride?’

I looked around the parking lot and couldn’t see his car but I did see Scarlett and Aubrey.

“Um hey guys?” I said as I walked over to them.

“There he is” Scarlett smiled as she pulled away from the intimate embrace she had with Aubrey.

“Is Seb still around?” I ask.

“No, I sent him home. Thought we would wait for you.” She smiled back at me.

“You didn’t have too” I say.

“It’s fine, so how did it go? What did she say?” Scarlett asked.

“Um not a lot tbh. We’ve to all meet next week and she will tell us the details then. All I really know is it’s a Las Vegas Casino night, fancy dresses and tux’s.”

“That will be fun to dress up” Aubrey said.

“Yeah but what about us? The band?” Scarlett asked.

“We will perform three or four songs before the main entertainment plays.”

“Just three or four?” She frowns.

“Yeah, apparently Reagan doesn’t want us missing out on the fun!”

“She’s got a point” Aubrey says.

“But only three?”

“It’s just a start for us” I shrug.

“True” Scarlett aggress.

“Anyway I want plenty time to dance with you” Aubrey says to Scarlett.

“You haven’t even asked me!” Scarlett says feigning offence.

Aubrey giggles a little as she takes her girlfriends hands. “Scarlett Cruz will you be my date to homecoming?”

“Sorry Benji already asked me” Scarlett replied but before Aubrey could say anything more. “I’m joking, I’d love to go with you.” She said sweetly before the pair exchanged a kiss.

“Wait does that mean that Seb and I need to take a date?” I ask after their kiss.

“You don’t have too” Aubrey replies.

“Should take each other” Scarlett jokes.

“Very funny” I laugh.

“You’d make a cute couple” Aubrey adds.

“I’m out of his league” I joke and we all laugh. 

Aubrey gives me a ride home and I reply to Seb that I got home fine. I told him that we need to meet up tomorrow to look at getting tuxedos or something for homecoming. We agreed a time and left at that.

“How was school today sweetie?” Mom asked later that night at the dinner table. It was just the two of us as Robyn was still away with the team, she wouldn’t be back till later on.

“It was fine, met up with Reagan Jones. She’s the chair of the committee for homecoming and was confirming that we are going to perform.”

“You are going to play aren’t you?” 

“Yeah we are and to be honest I’m looking forward to it.” I said truthfully.

“Good I’m glad, it’s about time you guys showcased your talent.” She smiled at me as she squeezed my arm reassuringly.

“Thanks Mom!” 

“Have they picked a theme for the dance yet?”

“Yeah, Reagan says they are going with a Las Vegas Casino night vibe.”

“Casino night?” She laughed lightly.

“No gambling I’ve been told” I laugh.

“I should hope not” she smiled before adding “so does that mean we need to get you a tux?”

“I was going to ask about that, was planning on going to the mall tomorrow to look. I’ve got some money left over.”

“Well how about I go half with you?” She said.

“Half?” I asked surprised.

“Yeah, I’ll do the same with your sister for her dress.”

“Thanks mom!” It was now my turn to squeeze her hand.

“Just promise me you’ll behave!” Her voice going more mother like.

“Of course, you can trust me!”

“I know I can sweetie.”

We enjoy the rest of dinner with pleasant conversation before I leave her to watching the tv by herself as I head to my room.

SAT

The next day Seb picks me up and we head for the mall.

“So what happened yesterday then?” He asked.

“Turns out Reagan wanted to meet me instead of Scarlett.”

“I gathered that much but what did she say?”

“Not a great deal to be honest. She wanted to set stuff straight about Ethan.” I told him.

“Oh really?”

“Yeah” I shrugged. “Don’t think it’s one big happy family.”

“Don’t think so eh?”

“Yeah bit more too it.” I said.

“Annddd….” He waved his hand. “Are you going to tell me?”

“Not my place.”

“Oh fuck off” he pushed me. “Kind of answer is that.”

“The only kind of answer you are getting!” I pushed him back.

“Some friend you are.” 

I stopped and stared at him.

“I’m kidding! Let’s go eat, I’m starving.”

“Yeah thought so” I said re joining him.

We got some food before going into the more upmarket part of the mall where most of the suit shops were.

“You actually gonna get a Tux?” Seb asked me.

“I dunno, depends on the prices. You?”

“Well my dad says I could borrow his.”

“That will save you a bit of money!”

“I know but do I really want to say I’m wearing my dads one?” He huffed.

“What’s the big deal?”

“Not going to impress any girls with that chat up line.”

“Well don’t tell anyone then” I laughed.

“I’ll see what they have to offer.”

We head into the first couple of shops but quickly turn back out when we find out prices. We headed into the next shop and instantly get a better feeling. A lot of the suits seemed a lot more affordable.

Seb was looking at the tuxedos they had on offer whilst I was looking at some suit jackets. A skinny camp looking guy went over to help Seb. A few moments later a voice spoke next to me.

“Can I help you?” 

“Eh no, actually yes” I replied. I was greeted by a complete stunner. She had her blonde hair tied tight back in a ponytail with a pair of thin black framed glasses. She was wearing a white blouse with tight black pants and heels. Her cleavage was on display and right next to it was her name badge, which read “Britney.”

She smiled at my weak answer “what is it your looking for?”

“I need a suit or tux for an upcoming dance which my band will perform at and it’s a bank buster” I blurted out.

She giggled before asking “Ok…” she paused as I waiting for my name to which I told her before she continued. “Ok Benji, you can rent one, have one tailor fitted or buy one off the rack?”

“Tailor fitted sounds expensive” I laugh nervously.

“It can be, especially if you don’t wear one all the time. Renting is a good option if just for one night?”

“I’ve seen some on the rack that seemed reasonable. At the age were it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a suit.”

“Mmm a responsible young man” she gave me a small grin.

“Something like that.” Britney couldn’t have been more than a couple of years older than me.

“Have you got a style and colour in mind?”

“Black and no.”

She laughed again, “ok come through with me.”

Britney lead me through towards the back of the store and into a small oval changing room. There wasn’t a lot of room but there was three mirrors in front of a small stand.

“This is normally for customers who purchase a tailor fitted suit but I like you Benji and want to get you a good deal.”

“Thanks” I smiled at her.

“Ok stand up here for me and I’ll quickly get your measurements.”

I did as I was told and stepped forward onto the small platform. Britney them pulled off a measuring tape that had been around her neck that I didn’t even realise was originally there.

“Can you hold your arms out for me like this” she demonstrated and I copied.

She then began running her tape and hands over my body. At first she measured the length of my arms. Then around my chest which she had to stand up behind me to do so and I could feel her breasts on my back. Fuck, I was getting hard. I tried to concentrate to stop it.

She then worked her way down measuring my waist then the outside length of my leg but then she did the inside.

All the time she was doing it she was muttering things to herself which I guessed where my sizes but when her hand hit my bulge the muttering stopped. She held herself for a second before she composed herself. She took a couple final measurements before she stood up.

“Ok take your jeans and t shirt off and I’ll be right back.”

“Take them off?”

“Of course” she smiled like it was nothing. “I’ll be back with some options for you to try on.”

Before I could say anything else she was gone.

I know I need to try stuff on but surely in a more private cubicle.

I did what I was told and after five very awkward minutes Britney returned. Her arms full of clothes which she hung up to the side.

“Not bad Benji” she winked at me as she held out a white and black shirt.

“White?” I said.

“Good choice” she offered me the white one and hung up the black.

I put the shirt on and button it up. It’s snug but feels a good fit.

“Nice start” she grins as she passes me a pair of black suit pants. 

I put them on. Again they are snug but not too tight. 

“Now let me help” she said as she climbs up behind me with a black suit jacket. I put my arms back and she slips the jacket up my arms. I shake my shoulders a little as she pulls it into place. Her head tilts over my right shoulder as she looks at me in the mirror. Her hands come forward and straighten the jacket before she buttons up one of the two buttons.

“Looking good Benji” she says as she smooths out the jacket.

“I like it” I reply.

“Mmmm we need a tie” with that she steps away and disappears through the curtain. Moments later she returns with a thin black tie and stands behind me again.

She reaches her hand around me again and expertly ties the tie and fixes it into position. 

“Now that’s much better don’t we think?”

I look at myself in mirror and admit I’m looking pretty darn good. I’ve got a smart look about me but not over done.

“I agree!” I tell her.

“One last detail” she says as she slips away again. After a little longer she comes back holding a pair of black shoes.

She kneels down in front of me and helps me put the shoes on. Once on and tied she stands and we both admire me.

“What a hottie” she grins.

“I really like it” I nod, twisting around a little and checking myself out. 

“You’ll have all the girls chasing you at the dance” she turns towards me and moves closer. Her hand stretch out and she fixes little parts of the suit and brushes it with her hand.

“Oh I don’t know about that” I laugh.

“Don’t be modest Benji, you are good looking young man and have charm.” She says as she unbuttons the jacket.

“Charm?”

“Yeah charm…” she says as she eyes my crotch. Yes I still have a semi which is quickly growing back into a full on hard on.

“Shall I take this off now?” I ask nervously.

“Not yet…” her hands stroking my thighs and getting closer to my bulge.

“Um Britney?”

“Sshhhh Benji” she hushes me as she trails her fingers across my bulge.

My cock is now straining against my boxers and pants as she now unzips my pants and reaches her hand in. Taking hold of my cock with a bit of manoeuvring she pulls it out.

“Damn” she mutters.

Britney uses her right hand and strokes up and down my length. Gently applying pressure as she moves.

“Definitely going to have the girls chasing you if they know you are packing this.” 

She uses her right thumb to massage the underside of my cock head and it causes it to twitch. Pre cum oozing out of the end of it.

“Little bit excited?” She teases.

“Something like that…”

She then uses her thumb to spread the pre cut around the tip before she then twists her hand around it and back down my shaft with more pace now.

I involuntarily let out a groan as she works my shaft. She grins up at me through her black framed glasses. 

Britney stroked my cock for a few more minutes before she took me into her mouth. She inhaled me with great ease and after sucking the first few inches a couple of times she took my entire length.

“Fuck” I groaned as I watched this blonde hair beauty deep throat me.

She held me deep inside her for a few seconds before she released herself. She gasped slightly for air but she was clearly a seasoned pro. She quickly inhaled me fully again before she got to working sucking me off. Britney didn’t need to use her hands to help, she was doing a wonderful job with her tongue and mouth. I could feel her tongue lapping at my head as it entered her mouth.

Britney’s head bobs with increasing pace as my rigid cock readies to explode. 

“I’m gonna cum” I breath out as I try my best to hold my balance.

Britney’s pace increases more as she ups her efforts. Her moaning increases too and I take this as I sign that she’s not going to stop.

I don’t last much longer as my legs tense up and I explode into her mouth. 

“Uugghhh” I groan as my cum spills out into her eager out. She moans approvingly as my cock twitches in her mouth.

Once spent, Britney still sucks my cock until it begins to soften in her mouth. With a pop my shrinking cock falls from her mouth. She looks up to me with a grin as she wipes her mouth. 

“Now you can take it off” she whines before standing up.

I naturally stuff my cock back into my boxers. 

“Ok get dressed and I’ll meet you outside, bring all that with you.” She tells me as she grabs all the other clothes and disappears through the curtain.

“Holy fuck” I mutter to myself, “did that just happen?”

I strip off the suit and shoes and place them to the side. I quickly throw my own clothes back on and head back out onto the main shop floor. I see Britney standing by the till with the guy that was helping Seb giving her a hard time, she’s grinning the whole time.

I walk over and he gives me a look before walking off.

“Perfect Benji, let’s get this all sorted out for you.” Britney says as she takes the bundle I’m holding. Behind her there’s a suit bag hanging up.

“Ok one white shirt” she takes it and hangs it into the bag and then clicks something on her monitor. I can’t see the price though.

“One pair of pointed black lace ups.” Which she put into a box and placed to the side. 

“One black skinny tie” which joined the shirt.

“One black slim suit jacket, oh it has a tear on the inside.”

In a panic I look for it but where’s she pointing at there’s nothing there. I look at her and she winks.

“One damage jacket” she pressed a couple of buttons this time before hanging the jacket in the bag.

“One matching pair of black suit pants, ah they seem to have a mark on the crotch area.” 

She holds them up and rubs her fingers across the area but I clearly see nothing there.

“Can’t have that full price” she says and with an other few buttons pressed she puts the pants with the rest.

“So let’s get this totalled up.” She presses a couple of things on her screen.

“In addition with staff discounts. We have a total of…. Fiftey.”

“You’re joking?” I ask her.

“Nope, can’t sell damaged goods at full price.” She winks.

“Wow” I say, this suit easily should have been two hundred.

“That ok?”

“More than ok” I blush as I hand over the money.

“Perfect thank you” she takes the money and finishes up. 

She zips up the back and places it on the counter along with the shoes.

“Here’s your receipt and on the back” she turns it over and writes down a number. “This is my number, give me a call sometime for a bit of fun.” 

“I’ll be sure to do that” I grin. 

“Hope you do” she grins at me.

“Seriously though thanks Britney” I tell her as I pick up the bag and box.

“Don’t mention it” she says with a wink. “See you a round Benji.”

“Yeah see ya.” I say to her before I make my leave.

“The fuck have you bean?” Seb confronts me when I get outside.

“Was getting a suit!” I hold up the bag to make it more obvious.

“I get that but how long does it take?” He huffs.

“Well I had to try the stuff on” I tell him as I begin to walk away.

“Glad you had more luck than me then” he said joining me.

“Not find anything?”

“The only thing I could afford was to rent one but what’s the point when I could just use my dads.”

“They had cheaper ones, mostly suits?”

“Nah it’s cool, I’ll just wear my dads.” He shrugged.

“You sure?”

“Yeah not much else choice” he sighed.

We went into a few other shops but didn’t get anything. We were on our way out when something caught Seb’s eye.

“Benji?” He nudged me.

“What?”

“Is that Robyn?” He pointed over to the entrance of the cinema. Inside of the mall was a large cinema complex with an open entrance way.

I followed his pointing and sure enough it was Robyn standing next to a guy.

“Yeah it is!”

“Who the hell is she with?” He asks me.

“I can’t really tell” I squint my eyes.

“Neither can I but it looks like….”

“Damon Masters” I cut him off.

“Fuck off, no way” he pauses “fuck, you’re right!”

“Where are you going?” I ask him as he makes steps towards them.

“Aren’t you going to say something?”

“Like what? She’s clearly on a date!”

“Exactly! With Damon fucking Masters!!” He points angrily in their direction.

“Calm down Seb” I tell him. “It’s not a big deal.”

“You don’t care who your sisters dates?” 

“Not really, it’s her choice in the end.” I shrug as I turn away and begin to walk.

I feel the real reason he’s not happy is because he wants to date my sister. In all honesty it wouldn’t bother me if he did but I don’t think Robyn feels the same.

“Benji?” He calls after me as he jogs to catch up.

“Don’t worry about it Seb ok” I say firmly to him.

“Fine” he huffs as we walk in silence out of the mall and out towards the parking lot.

 It’s then a notice the two girls sat on a bench, Taylor and Whitney. They look different out of their cheerleader uniforms, a good different.

Taylor catches my eye and waves “Hiya Benji.”

“Hey Taylor, how’s it going?” I ask as we walk over to them.

“Good thanks, you?”

“Yeah doing good.”

“Suit shopping?” She asked eyeing what I am carrying.

“Yeah for homecoming.” I reply.

“Whitney and I are here to look for dresses for that too.”

“So you being here has nothing to do with my sister being on a date with Damon Masters?” 

Her smile fades a little bit. “You spoke to your sister?”

“No we just saw them going into the cinema, very cosy like” I smirked.

“What’s the deal with them anyway?” Seb blurts out.

All three of us now turn our attention to him, although I feel Whitney’s was already on him.

“What’s it to do with you?” Taylor said a little defensively.

“He’s just jealous” I nudge him.

“Am not!” Seb stiffens.

“Looks like you kinda are?” Taylor says with less hostility.

“I’m just looking after my mates sister!”

“It’s ok man” I laugh.

“Look, Benji can we get going?” Seb huffs.

“Not want to see how my sisters date goes?”

“Shut up” he stropped off.

“Ignore him” I tell the girls.

“Does he really have a thing for Robyn?” Whitney finally pipes up.

“Eh I thinks he’s had a crush on her for a while but he would never go there.” Seb has told me himself that he would never actually try anything with my sister. He seems to be taking it hard she’s dating someone though.

“So he’s single and not seeing anyone?” She asks again.

“Very single” I don’t think he’s even talking to any girls but I don’t tell them that. 

Whitney leans into Taylor and whispers something and they share a giggle.

“You’ll have to find out for yourself” I hear Taylor whisper back.

Not entirely sure what she means by that I say my goodbyes and catch up with Seb in his car.

“So how did Whitney react?” He said to me.

“What?”

“Did Whitney seem interested in me?”

“How did you know?” 

“It’s just a tactic, seem uninterested to be more interesting.”

“So you aren’t bothered about my sister?”

“Nah if you aren’t, then I’m not… so Whitney?” He asked again.

I didn’t buy his answer about my sister but didn’t press it. “Well she asked if you were single.”

“She did?” He asked gleefully. “What did you say?”

“That you were and available.”

“Good! Wonder if she would go to homecoming with me…”

“Well you better ask her soon!” I tell him.

We chat away the rest of the ride back to my house. I hang about my house the rest of the day and to be honest I’m eager to see when Robyn gets home. It’s a little after dinner that she arrives home and i await her against the door frame to my room as she comes up the stairs. 

“Nice date?” I ask her.

“Shit” she gasped clutching her chest. “The fuck Benji!”

“Nice date?” I ask her again.

“Date? What are you on about?” She turns at the top of the stairs heading for her room.

“I saw you today, At the mall…. With Damon….”

“Oh you saw me.”

“Didn’t realise you were dating Damon now.”

“Well he asked me out and I mean he’s kinda cute so I said yes.”

“Just be careful with him Robyn.”

“I can look after myself” she said defensively.

“I know you can but the way he talks in the locker room…”

“I’ve heard the stories Benji, not everything you hear is true.”

I didn’t respond as she took a step towards leaving before stopping and turning around. “I appreciate you looking out for me though.” She gave me a warm smile and headed into her room as I gave a light wave back and headed into mine.

MON

“So what did Reagan actually say?” Scarlett asked me again in music class on the Monday afternoon.

“To be honest not a lot, we’ve all too meet up with her this week and get the finer details.”

“Finer details?” She asks.

“I can only think that means start times, when we need to be on, what we need to do.”

“We also need to decide about what songs we are going to perform.” She reaches into her bad and pulls out a note pad. 

“You’ve been busy” I tease as I look at a page full of songs with crosses, ticks and question marks next to them. 

“These are all the songs we perform. I was thinking we do one we’re you sing solo, I sing solo and a duet?”

“Ok” I nod, the pit of stomach churning already at performing solo.

“Then we just pick a couple extras depending how long we get?”

“I’m sure Reagan will confirm when we met her.”

“Did she say when?” Scarlett asks.

“No but said it would be this week.”

“We will need to meet a few times more than normal and practice our chosen songs.”

“I agree” I nod. 

I spent the rest of music thinking of what song I would perform and by the end of class I think I was settled on one.

 

“Seb tells me you got your homecoming suit on Saturday.” Scarlett said after class. 

“Yeah got a great deal as well.”

“Heard you saw Robyn with Damon Masters.” She smirked.

“We did and Seb acted like a little bitch” I laugh.

“No way, not my brother.” She laughs too.

“I think they are dating now.” 

“Does it bother you?” She asks.

“To be honest I don’t know, she’s allowed to date but I’m just not sure of her choice.” I shrug.

“I have to agree, Robyn is way out of his league and you know the reputation he has.”

“Exactly but like she said she can take care of herself” I say.

“About Reagan, any idea when she wants to meet?” She asks.

“No but I’ll try and speak to her tomorrow.”

“Good idea, need to plan our week” she gives me a brief hug as she joins her girlfriend Aubrey and I catch up with Seb. I don’t even entertain his moans about me hugging his sister. 

Robyn’s home earlier than usual for her and we spend dinner with mom. Neither of us bringing up Damon, it wasn’t my place to break that trust in that respect. I didn’t fully agree with it but still wasn’t going to tell mom.

WED

Seb and I both managed to get through Miss Hooper’s class this week without drawing any attention to ourselves. Although most of my attention was on Miss Hopper, she had a black slim line dress on today that complimented her figure to no end.

Gym this week wasn’t ideal, it was track and field thanks to last week. Coach Stephen’s had us all split up into different groups. I was kept well away from Ethan which suited me just fine. We got through the class without any issues but this wasn’t the case in the locker room.

I was chatting to Seb and a couple of other guys when Seb nodded behind me. 

I turned to face Aidan and Ethan. I didn’t say anything to either of them or acknowledge them.

After a few moments of silence, Aidan finally spoke up.

“Well?” His hands on his hips.

“Well what?” I shrug.

“Well aren’t you going to apologise?”

“For what?” I laugh.

“For hitting Ethan in the face, breaking his glasses and bursting his nose?”

“I’m not apologising for an accident” I brush him off.

“That’s not good enough” he pointed his rat finger in my face.

“Aidan, I suggest you get your finger out of my face.” I said flatly to him.

“Or what? Going to break my glasses!”

“Something like that” a deeper voice said.

The shadow of Dylan appeared over my shoulder, Aidan’s face fell as Ethan stepped back. 

“I told you this was a bad idea” Ethan hissed.

“You should have listened to your friend” Dylan imposes.

“No” Aidan barely speaks. 

There’s a stunned silence.

“Did he say no?” I hear Seb ask behind me.

“That’s right, no!” Aidan said a little louder.

“No?” Dylan chuckled as he cracked his knuckles.

 “He was joking” Ethan Squeaked as he pulled his friend away and they scurried out of the locker room.

“God who knew Nerds could give us so much grief” Seb spoke and we all laughed.

We got outside and headed for his car when our attention was drawn across to Reagan with Ethan and Aidan. Aidan and Ethan very animated. Megan notices us and leans in close to Reagan and whispers something. She then heads straight for us. 

“Can this be good?” Seb says.

“Just let me talk” I tell him as Reagan approaches.

As she gets closer I see her face. It’s not angry or irritated, not even pissed off. It’s soft with a smile.

“Hi boys” she says to us when she’s next us. She adopts an aggressive type of stance with her hands on her hips.

“Hi Reagan” I reply.

“Look I’m over here to ask if you and the band are free tomorrow after school?” She points around. “I’m also making it look like I’m giving you a hard time because yet again Ethan is being a little bitch. Worse still is his boyfriend being at me now too.”

“What?” I ask in confusion.

“Can we meet tomorrow after school and discuss the finer details for next week?” She points in my face.

It takes me a few seconds to realise what’s going on. The gears clicking into the correct place. Reagan is making it look like she’s telling us off so Ethan and Aidan will be happy and lay off her bit in reality she’s just talking to us. From a far it does look like she’s chewing us out, her acting skills coming through.

I keep a straight face and reply, “yeah we can meet, same place?”

“Yeah just come by after class.” She smiles but is animated and points at both of us.

I can’t help crack a smile which disappears when I see a red hair on the horizon.

“It’s Robyn.”

Reagan’s face drops too as she quickly says her goodbye and makes to leave. 

I take the initiative and make the move to intercept Robyn.

“Why the hell was she shouting at you?” She tries to shove passed me.

“Robyn, it’s not what you think.”

“It looks like she was giving you a verbal lashing.”

“It was an act!”

“An act” Robyn frowns.

“Yes, it’s not what you think. Go the other way and I’ll explain tonight, promise me?”

“Ok promise” she smiles at me. 

“Ok good now I’ll see you at home!” She smiles at me and then joins up with her friends. 

“That could have gone worse” Seb laughs as we now head for his car.

“Yeah but think we’re in the clear” I nervously laugh with him.

Later that night Robyn did indeed come to my room.

“So care to tell me why Reagan was having it out with you today?”

“Again no knocking?” I huffed.

“She really looked like she was chewing you out.”

“It wasn’t like that.”

“What wasn’t?” She questioned.

“Reagan wasn’t having a go at Seb and I.”

“She wasn’t?”

“No, it was an act. She made it look like she was shouting at us for effect so Ethan thought she was standing up for him. In reality she was asking for us, the band to meet with her and the committee.”

“Righhttt…” her face twisted in confusion.

“So yeah it really wasn’t what it seemed.”

“It was for show?”

“Correct.”

“Fooled me” she chuckled.

“That was the idea, she is a good actress” I laughed.

“Yeah she was always good at acting.”

“Whatever happened with you two? You used to be the best of friends.”

“We did but we grew apart I guess. When we got to high school we began hanging out with different crowds. She was always the academic type and I was more athletic. I got into the cheer squad and she tried out for things like debate and what not. We still spoke now and again but then there was the Halloween party of our tenth grade. You remember it?”

I nodded in agreement. It was one wild party, it was held by an eleventh grader Ted Banks. His family were really rich and somehow he convinced them to let him host a party, a massive party. I managed to score an invite through Robyn but not sure I was actually invited. Seb and I went anyway. It’s where I lost my virginity to an other eleventh grader, Samantha Stone. I must admit alcohol may have had a small part to play and her not really knowing who I was. She kind of just started kissing me and it went from there.

“Well there was this boy there JJ, he was in the eleventh grade.”

“I remember him.”

“He was so dreamy wasn’t he?”

“Um dreamy isn’t the word I would use…”

“Shut up Benji, anyway. I wasn’t the only one that liked him, there was several other girls including Reagan. We talked about boys in a our younger days but when we got to high school it was different. She talked more about marriage and things, that wasn’t for me. As I said for various other reasons we drifted apart but I think when I lost my virginity to JJ was the final drift.”

“You lost your virginity at that party too?”

“You lost yours there too? Who with?”

“Samantha Banks” I said proudly.

“No way, you’re lieing.”

“Why would i be lying?” I say a little defensively.

“Because there was a rumour going around that Samantha slept with a guy at the party and he had an impressive cock!”

“Oh” my cheeks burned red.

“It couldn’t have been you? She said he was wearing a …”

“A fighter pilot” I finished her sentence.

“Oh my god yes, I remember you wearing that now. I didn’t realise she was talking about you!”

“Didn’t realise anyone was talking about me” I chuckled. 

“A lot of girls were talking about you!” she winked.

“Are they still?”

“Nah not so much now.”

“Oh” at least I was talk of the school even though no one knew it was me.

“So I don’t need to worry about Reagan then?”

“Um no, if anything she’s helping us, well the band.”

“Do I need to worry about that massive cock?” She gave me a wry smile which made me a little uncomfortable. 

“Wow Robyn!”

“Whhaattt? I’m just asking.”

“Ok moving on…”

“Have you got a date for the dance yet?”

“No not yet. Are you going with Damon?”

“Yeah the cheerleader squad has linked up with the football team so Damon and I are going to go together.”

“So the cinema was?”

“That was a sort of date, wasn’t an official date. I’m way better than the cinema for a first date.”

“So you two are dating now?”

“Not as such.”

“Fair enough. So all the cheerleaders are taken?”

“Yesssss why?” She raised an eyebrow.

“No reason, was just maybe for dates for Seb and I.”

“Well bro, you are shit out of luck.”

“Yeah” I sighed.

“Well you better find someone quick or you will be going solo.” Robyn said as she got up.

“Ain’t that the truth!”

“Good talk bro” she smiled at me.

THU

We leave the conversation at that as Robyn leaves my room. The next day after the band and I meet up with Reagan and a few others in the library. Reagan’s friends Jodie and Megan were there, not entirely sure they are part of the committee though but I may be wrong.

“Welcome welcome” Reagan smiled and greeted us as we entered.

We all took our seats and let her begin. Reagan began with some other committee responsibilities before she turned our attention to us.

“We are inviting people to arrive for about seven pm. You guys will go on about seven thirty and play a few songs before we have the DJ come on before eight. Sound good?” She smiled at us but held eye contact with me the longest. 

“Yeah we’re good with that” Scarlett nodded.

“So we actually got our creative mind Sarah here to create a poster to put with the others.” Reagan held up a poster with bright colours and our band name on it. I admit it looked pretty cool.

“What do you guys think?” Reagan asked.

“It’s really cool” Seb answered.

“I love it” Scarlett added.

“You like it Benji?” Reagan asked me. 

“Yeah, it is really cool. Our first promo” I laugh.

“Glad you like it” that was more meant for me than the rest. “Good work Sarah” Reagan turned to an artsy looking dark haired girl sat at the side of the table.

“Thanks” she smiled and gave a small wave.

“Ok will you guys have your own instruments or need to use the school ones.”

“We will use our own” Scarlett answered. “We will just need the schools speakers as what we have won’t do for a larger room.”

“That’s fine we can sort that.”

“Can we have a sound test before the event?” 

“Um let me think” Reagan pondered and looked at a large dairy open on the table. “Yeah if you guys want to come in, in the afternoon, set up and do your checks then? Some of us will be here to finish setting up.”

“Yeah that works for us?” Scarlett looks at us and we nod.

“Perfect” Reagan smiled and did a small clap with her hands. “Now unless you have any questions then you guys don’t need too stay.”

“Um I think we’re good!” Scarlett looked at each of us.

“Nope” Seb shook his head as did Aubrey.

“Just want to say from us thanks for giving us this opportunity” I say.

“Aww you’re welcome, it’s our pleasure” Reagan smiled at me.

We all said our goodbyes and took our leave. We were just about to leave the school and go outside when I heard my name being called.

“Benji wait up a minute.”

We turned around and Reagan was coming towards us.

“Do you mind if I speak to you for a second?”

“Sure, I’ll catch up with you guys” I say to the rest.

Reagan waited for the others to leave before she spoke. 

“I just wanted to thank you for yesterday, for speaking to your sister.”

“It’s fine, I guess your act worked the way you wanted. Maybe too well” I laugh.

“Yeah…” she tucks her hair behind her ear.

“I’ve spoken to Robyn and explained what’s going on.”

“Thanks Benji, I really appreciate that.”

“It’s fine.”

“Do she ask much about me?”

“Not really I’m afraid, she did kinda talk about how you guys drifted apart.”

“Oh…”

“It wasn’t bad though.”

Her face brightened up a little as she smiled.

“I’m looking forward to seeing you guys play.” She moved a little closer.

“Say, who are taking to the dance? Forgot to ask if you guys will have dates.”

“Well Scarlett and Aubrey will be going together, that’s an obvious one” I laugh.

“What about you?” She ever so slightly bit her lip as her hand brushed against my arm.

“No one at the moment, I didn’t think about it to be honest.”

“I wish I could have gone with you but I have to go with Timothy Brown, the other head of the committee.” She paused, “that’s if you would have wanted to go with me” she said as she looked away shyly.

“That is a shame, would have liked to get another kiss like before if I was lucky” I wink at her.

Her face is in shock as she grins and slaps my arm “ssshhh that’s a secret” she looks around.

“I’m only teasing” I grin.

“God I would love an other one…” her eyes on my lips.

“No ones around” I challenge her.

“Someone could see us.”

“That’s the fun” I reply.

We are in the moment and the kiss is drawing closer but a noise up another corridor snaps us back.

“Shit” she mutters. “I should get back… see you soon.” She smiles and waves as she scurries off. 

“Bye” I call to her as I take my turn and look up the corridor where the noise came from, nothing. Not giving it a second thought I head out and catch up with the rest. 

I was hounded straight away with questions from Seb about what Reagan wanted but thankfully he took his sisters advice of ‘shutting the fuck up!’ We all headed to the twins house for our normal Thursday practice. Although tonight wasn’t quite like normal. Usually we would play some songs, record a couple for YouTube but tonight we only worked on the our chosen songs for homecoming.

After a really good practice I got home to find Robyn sitting in my room.

“Shouldn’t you be at practice?” I ask her not even phased by her intrusion.

“How did the meeting go?” She asks avoiding the question.

“Splendidly thanks for asking.” I rely tossing my bag down.

“What was Reagan saying?”

“Just general chit chat about homecoming that’s about it.”

“Anything else?” The way she asked it put a sudden fear through me. Did she or someone she know hear our conversation in the corridor or even see it.

“Um no, not really.”

“So nothing else?” 

“Nope” I thought about telling her about our kiss bur decided against it.

“Mmmm find that odd” she mused.

“Odd how?” I spin in my chair to face her.

“Reagan’s usually all talk and wants to know everything.”

“Well she did ask who I was taking to the dance.”

“Oh and?”

“Yeah told her it was no one which it still is.”

“Bet she wanted to take you!” Robyn grinned.

“She’d be the lucky one taking a stud like me.”

Robyn started laughing and I joined in.

“I’ll give you that one bro, anyone would be lucky to take you.”

“Really none of your friends free?” I chance. 

“Nope as I said all the squad are taken.”

“Shit!”

“Well you should have acted sooner.”

“I know, I know. Acted quick like Damon?”

“Hardly” she laughs.

“Any developments with him?”

“Not really, all he does is say how hot and sexy I am.” 

“Has a way with words?” I jokes.

“Doesn’t have many words” she holds back a laugh. “That’s mean I shouldn’t laugh.”

“But you must like him though?”

“Yeah I mean he is a good looking guy and all but yeah…”

“Robyn you can tell me.”

“I feel the attraction is mostly physical and because there’s not much else to choose from. Don’t get me wrong when he flirts with me I get the giggles but we’ve not really had a proper conversation.”

“But it’s only been what, a week?” 

“Bit more than that but yeah I dunno.”

“Look as long as you are happy then that’s all I care about” I said to her truthfully.

There was a genuine look of happiness on her face as she got off my bed and came over to give me a hug.

“You really are a good guy Benji!”

“You aren’t half bad yourself you know” I hug her back.

“Thanks” she giggled. 

“See you at dinner” she smiled as she left my room.

FRI

“So we riding solo next week then?” Seb asked me at lunch the next day.

“Looks like it man” I had just finished telling him that all the cheerleaders were going with someone from the team.

“I would have liked to have gone with Whitney” he said as he gazed across to her table. I looked at her as well and saw her blush and return a shy smile that I know was meant for Seb.

“There’s always prom” I say. 

“Prom? That’s ages away!!”

“I know, she could even be your girlfriend by then!” I tease him.

“You think?” He asks excitedly.

“Yeah sure why not, just need to man up and ask her.” 

“I think I will” he had a genuine smile on his face. It remained for the rest of lunch as well.

Be good for Seb to get a girlfriend I thought to myself as I walk from the lunch hall. I wouldn’t mind having one myself but I do have a few options for some action at the moment. I’ve not messaged Britney yet and thinking I maybe should. 

“Hi Benji” a voice snaps be back to reality. 

“Jesus Abigail, where did you come from?” She genuinely snuck up on me.

“I was just walking by, are you excited for next week?” She changed the subject quickly.

“Eh yeah I am, little nervous about performing but excited.”

“That’s good, nerves are a good thing. I’m excited to see you play” she said excitedly next to me as we walk.

We walked on a little more when she asked “Is it true you don’t have a date to the dance next week?”

“Where did you hear that?” I asked. Wasn’t aware that it was a big deal.

“Oh just heard it somewhere… have you not asked anyone?” 

“No I haven’t, Seb and I aren’t going to bother. We have the performance to concentrate on anyway.”

“Oh… ok” she sounded and looked deflated.

“Have you been asked?” I risked the question as I think I can guess the answer.

“No…” her head down.

“I’m sure someone will” I tell her. 

“I could go with you?” She whispers.

“What?” I ask her not quite catching what she says.

“Nothing…” she shakes her head.

“Abigail did you just ask if I would go with you?”

She didn’t answer right away before looking at me “I mean yeah we could go together if you wanted too so you weren’t alone or anything like that, you know. It’s not big deal or whatever. You don’t have too but yeah.” 

“Abigail as nice as that would be…”

“It’s fine you don’t have to say anymore” she cut me off.

“I’m sorry Abigail.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine” she turned her face away. Surely she’s not crying.

“Abigail I’m sure you’ll find someone better to go with.”

“Unlikely” she muttered before quickly adding “I’ll see you later Benji.” She picked up the speed and left.

“Ok see you” I gave her a weak wave to her back.

I felt a little bad for turning Abigail down. Even though I was feeling left out not taking someone, I would be busy and preoccupied with the band. Maybe more harshly Abigail wasn’t the type of girl I would want to go with.

At the end of the day I headed to my locker to store all my books. I was all up to date with homework and with homecoming week next week I wouldn’t need these. As I approached my locker something caught my eye. It was a small piece of paper that was just sticking out of the side. I took hold of it and opened my locker. I stuffed my books in and opened the note. It simply read;

‘I know you kissed Reagan Jones.’
