New School, New Me?

Chapter 1

“Finally summer is here!” I shout as I walk with many other students out of the front doors of Westvale High. Not only was the school year done which meant we now had weeks of endless free time, I was going to spend every minute I could with the person clutching my hand. I turned to smile at my girlfriend, Megan. She smiled back as she squeezed my hand harder.

“I can’t wait baby! We are going to have so much fun!” Her blonde hair bounced in her high ponytail as we broke free from the crowd. You could feel everyone’s high spirits. Next year would be our senior year but it wasn’t a worry at all.

We almost skipped as the crowd began to disperse, all our fellow students off to do their own thing. We came to a stop by a large tree and I pulled Megan into me. She giggled a little as her hand came up and braced them against my chest. I’m infatuated with this girl and I lean down to kiss her. I’m much more eager than her as she briefly kisses me before taking a step back. 

“Save it for later baby” she almost like groaned, as she flicked me across my nose.

“I need you baby, you’re just so hot and it’s like been forever since we fooled around!” I said the later part in a quieter voice as I tried to pull her back into me but she simply stepped back and shot a playful scowl at me. I couldn’t help but get horny when I gazed upon her body or when I feel her. She was shorter than me and had an incrediable slender figure. Her ass was small, tight and firm. I wish she showed off her cleavage more because I was a sucker for it, I often rest my head there and kiss her soft breasts. We’ve only had sex a few times, not my choice clearly. There’s always some excuse and more often than not I leave her with blue balls. Love does strange things to a man. 

“Easy big fella, better save it for the bedroom” my best buddy, Ryan chuckled as he joined us. 

“I mean can you blame me?” I grinned as I stepped behind Megan and wrapped my arms around her, holding her against me. Thankfully I didn’t feel any resistance this time.

“No, not at all my man! You are one lucky son of a bitch!” He grins back as he holds up his hand for a high five and I happily smack it back. 

“Now now Ryan, you are a lucky guy to have Averie!” Megan said as she now nestled into my arms.

“Oh I know, I have to slap myself every morning.” 

“Why are you slapping yourself every morning baby?” The soft voice of Averie sounded as she appeared at Ryan’s side.

“I’m just saying how lucky I am to have you baby” Ryan smiled as he leant down and kissed his girlfriend on the head. Averie was a cute girl, in her own way. She dressed a lot more conservatively than others. Her black hair was always dead straight, kept in place with a thick head band. She was a petite girl but I feel it all added to her attractiveness. Ryan was definitely punching but then again, so was I.

“Aww thank you baby” she beamed as she evidently blushed, clutching the books in her arms tighter.

“What’s the plan now?” I asked our little group.

“I’m pretty hungry” Ryan replied.

“Yeah I could do some food too” Megan agreed.

“I can drive us all?” Averie offered and we all agreed.

We all headed over to the parking lot and got into Averie’s car. Ryan obviously in the front which suited me as I didn’t want to keep my hands off Megan. She giggled and smiled as she kept pushing my hands away, nodding to our friends in the front. I shrugged as they wouldn’t care but she kept me at arms length. The tease.

Lunch was good, we got burgers and shakes. I paid for Megan’s like normal, like a good boyfriend should do. Treat his queen. We hung about the arcade after that, which was in the big mall. We all played around in different stuff, a friendly rivalry between Ryan and Megan kept us entertained. As time went on we all decided to leave and once all back in Averies car I snuggled back up to Megan. She wasn’t as standoffish as before but still not one hundred percent receptive. 

“What’s everyone up too tonight then?” Averie asked as she pulled out of the parking lot.

“Well I have the great joy of babysitting my brother tonight” Ryan spoke first.

“I can keep you company if you like?” Averie said in a cute suggestive tone.

“Thank you baby but it’s fine, might be nice to actually spend time with him.” Ryan said as he reached across and squeezed his girlfriends hand reassuringly. 

“Well I’m hoping that I’ll spend the night on a sofa with my beautiful girlfriend as we watch a movie.” I speak up, looking hopefully at Megan.

“Aww I’m sorry baby, I can’t tonight. Maybe tomorrow night?” She smiled at me as she brushed me off.

“Why can’t you tonight?” I whisper to her.

“Not now Shane” she said a little heatedly. 

“I’m sorry I thought we could get some alone time…”

“Tomorrow ok!” Her tone alstill heated. I knew not to push it. I still held her close but didn’t say anymore. 

I’m the first to get out and a little disappointed to see that Megan hasn’t followed me out to say goodbye. I lean back in and give her a kiss, which she returned. All be it a quick brief one.

“Can I call you later?” I ask her.

“Yeah sure baby” her voice back to normal. I say goodbye to Ryan and Averie, closing the car door, I wave them off.

I head into my house. The missing car in the drive tells me dad is still at work, mom’s car was there though. In fairness it’s always there. 

“Hi mom” I call out as I close the front door.

“Hi sweetie, how was school?” I hear her call back from the kitchen. I head through before replying. I’ve made that mistake once before.

“Yeah was fine, I mean we didn’t do much school work. Bit of a wasted day to be honest.” It was true, it was purely a formality. The teachers couldn’t care less either, in fairness they are probably looking forward to the summer break as much as we all were.

“Well it’s done now…” Mom kind of stalls before coming over to hug me. It’s like she had to say something but didn’t. “I love you sweetheart” she says as she holds me tight.

“Love you too mom” I reply as I hug her back. She holds me a little longer than normal before she lets go.

“Dinner will be ready a little later tonight. Your father is running late, few things he’s had to wrap up at the office.” She said still holding onto me.

“Ok mom” I smiled back as she finally let go. I got myself a soda from the fridge and headed to my room. I sent Megan a text but she didn’t reply. 

Later that night I was sat at the dinner table with my mom and dad. I didn’t mind having a later meal as I had such a large burger at lunch. At first everything seemed normal but then their faces went quite gloom and the way my dad said my name, I got instant dread.

“Shane… look son we have something to tell you..” he began as he looked over to mom who gave him a reassuring smile. Oh god, they are getting a divorce.

“We wanted to wait until the school year was over to tell you but….” Here it comes. “We are moving…”

“Wait what?” 

“Honey it wasn’t an easy decision but we have to move” mom reached across and held my hand.

“Why?” 

“I’ve been offered a new position at work. It’s a big promotion son. I’m now the director of operations in the west coast section of the company.”

“West coast?” I interrupted. 

“Yes… we have to move across the country. I can’t commute that far and it’s a position I can’t turn down. It’s come at the wrong time with only your senior year left but your mother and I have made the hard decision that you will have to finish school somewhere new.”

“Don’t I get a say in this? Don’t I get a choice?” I could feel myself getting angry.

“This wasn’t easy for us son” my father began. “This a massive opportunity for us and I’ve spoken long and hard with your mother and we both agreed it’s silly to not accept. Things are in place and we leave next week.”

“Next week?” Now I was pissed. “What about my friends? What about Megan? I just have to leave them.”

“Sweetie. You can still see them over holidays or the odd weekend.” Moms hand squeezed mine harder but I pulled it away.

“This isn’t happening, I’m not leaving. I’m staying here!” I slammed my hands on the table.

“Shane!” My dad barked, his eyes were dark and his voice authoritative. 

“No dad! This isn’t fair! You can’t just decide to up and move us cause you want too.” I shouted back.

“Shane honey…”

“No mom! I…” I stop myself before I say something I’d regret. I push myself away from the table and take off for the front door. I hear them calling after me but I slam the door behind me as I take off running. 

At first I don’t have any direction, well I didn’t think I did but I soon realise I’m running towards Megan’s house. It’s not too far away but it’s still a fair distance. Fueled by anger and sadness, it spurs me on till I arrive at her house. It doesn’t even register in my head that her parents car isn’t there. I move around the back to where I can climb in her window. I’ve done it a few times before. 

I climb up and move across the slated roof towards her window. I can see the window is open a little and the light is on. It’s not till I’m right at her window that I hear the sounds and then see it. 

Megan is on her bed, on all fours, being fucked. Being fucked by another guy. Being fucked by…. “Ryan” I growled. I stand there watching, unable to move. 

“Oh fuck oh fuck, yes fuck me” Megan’s voice spills out of the window. I feel numb. I feel anger. I feel hate. I open the window and climb in. They are oblivious that I’m there. That is until I pull Ryan off and start punching him. I don’t aim, I just swing. 

I hear Megan scream as I then feel her hands on me. Ryan is trying to block me but I only see red mist. 

“Shane, fucking stop it! Stop it!” Megan cried as she claws at me. I shrug her off as I keep hitting Ryan, tears streaming down my face as I punch my best friend who I’ve just caught fucking my girlfriend. 

“Shane! Please stop! Please!” Megan was crying too. I could see some of my hits had landed as blood formed around Ryan. Megan eventually pulled me away and stood between Ryan and I.

“Baby please stop… it’s not what it looks like….” She moved towards me trying to put her hands on me but I step back, slapping her hands away.

“How could you?” I felt my anger fade with the numbness taking over. I felt myself drain of any colour, my eyes going cold and dark. 

“Baby please just let me explain” she tried again to touch me. Now Ryan was groaning as he got to his feet. 

“I…” I had so many questions but I couldn’t stay any longer. I came to her because I thought she was the one. The girl I loved and wanted to be with forever. Now I had no one and my whole life is moving, literally. It was all over. I turn and leave. I don’t bother with the window, I just head right out her door and down the stairs out of the front door. I hear her calling my name but I feel numb, on autopilot. When I get outside I just walk. In my short sightedness I don’t pay attention and walk right into the road. It’s too late as the car hits me. 

Chapter 2

The car strikes me and I bump up onto the bonnet then roll up over the window. Tumbling off the other side I hit the ground, hard. Son of a bitch that hurt. I think my only saving grace was that the driver, wasn’t going too fast. Plus the fact I wasn’t all skin and bones helped. A little cushion to land on. I lay on the cold tarmac looking up to the sky above, groans escaping my mouth. 

The car had come to a screaching stop and someone had got out.

“Fuck fuck fuck, don’t be dead, don’t be dead” I heard her paniced voice as she came into vision. I had managed to pull myself into a seating position as she stood before me.

“Thank fuck, what the hell man! Where did you come from?” I heard the heat in her voice and it was hard to tell if she was genuinely pissed or it was the shock of just hitting someone.

“Fuck” I groaned as I looked up at her. She was wearing black sneakers with tight denim jeans, a loose tank top hung over her waist. Her hands were on her hips as she stared down at me, a mix of anger and concern.

“Like are you alright?” More concern than heat in her voice.

“Yeah… fuck that hurt” I moan as I rub my head, nothing feels like it’s broken at least, just my heart. 

“Yeah no shit, can you stand?” I nod as I begin to stand up, she reaches her hand out and helps me stand. I wobble a little but I steady myself. I now look down at her as I’m a little taller, her black hair is in a ponytail behind her head but I recognise her face, I can’t quite place it yet.

“Easy… do I need to take you to the hospital? I’d rather not but like I will if I have too!” I now realised that I had steadied myself thanks to her hand. I went to answer but my voice was drowned out as Megan had now joined us.

“Oh my god baby! Are you ok?” She barged infront of the girl as she held my arms in her hands.

“Hey watch it bitch!” The girl snarled.

“Watch it yourself! You just ran over my fucking boyfriend, I should call the cops!” Megan threatened rounding on the girl.

“You better get the fuck out of my face or I’ll kick your ass up and down this street.” I half smiled at the girls threat, I wish she would but it wasn’t worth it.

“Megan, fuck off back in your house, I don’t need or want you here.” I know stepped beside the girl and pointed Megan in the direction in which she should go. Megan’s eyes began to water as she turned to me.

“Baby… don’t be like that, you’ve just been ran over, I need to take care of you. You must have hurt your head!” She stepped towards me again but I pushed her hands away.

“Don’t baby me, you’re dead to me Megan, just like Ryan.” The numbness had faded a little as she so blantently tried to down play what she just did.

“Sounds like you need to fuck off!” The girl smirked at Megan.

“Fuck you bitch, this is between my boyfriend and me, now fuck off.” Megan roared at the girl who stood her ground.

“Call me bitch one more time… I fucking dare you!” The girl said in a cold voice.

“Fuck you…. Bit….” Megan didn’t get to finish the word as the sound of a slap echoed throughout the street. Megan was so stunned and ataken back by it that she fell to the ground.

“Nice shot” I smiled and noddingly approved. “I couldn’t get a ride could I?” I turned away from Megan and looked at the girl. She looked back hesitantly. “Look please even just anywhere so I can get away from her…”

“Ok fine, I mean least I could do for running your over. Come on” she nodded towards her car and I followed.

“Shane you fucking asshole, don’t just leave me here! Come back!” Megan screamed. Her shrill voice filling the street. “Baby please!” I caught her out of the corner of my eye getting up and heading my way. 

I quickly got in the girls car, “please just drive!” She was all too happy too and just as Megan got to my door and banged on the window the car sped off. I didnt look back. We drove for a few minutes in an awkward silence before I spoke.

“Look I’m sorry for all that, you can drop me off anywhere around here!” I said to her as I half prepared myself for her to stop and me to get out.

“Are you sure you don’t need a hospital or anything?” Her voice was the softest I’ve heard it.

“Nah I’m fine honest, I’ve played a bit of football before. My body can handle it” I half chuckle as my body did hurt like hell though. 

“I wasn’t just meaning that…. I mean… with her? What was that?” Her driving had slowed but she still didn’t stop.

“Oh… um…” the image of the two of them fucking hurt way more than any physical pain I was feeling but why hide the truth. “I caught my girlfriend and best friend fucking…” I said simply, I was looking out the window like I was saying it to the world.

“Shit.. that’s heavy. I’m sorry!” She sounded genuine.

“It’s cool, it’s not like you did it, if anything I should thank you for slapping her. I beat his ass but wouldn’t touch her.” Even if I hated her with all my soul I was raised right to never lift a hand to a woman.

“She deserved it, your girlfriend… I mean ex, is fucking crazy. I thought she was so quiet at school.” The mention of school triggered where I knew her from. 

“You go to Westbrook High don’t you?” I now turned to face her.

“Yeah.. well did. Final day was today, got graduation and prom next week.” She said with a smile.

“I knew I recognised your face, not like I’ve ever spoken to you before.” I laughed nervously.

“I could say the same, now I have a name to the face, Shane? Right?”

“Yeah” I nodded, “sorry I don’t know yours?” 

“I’m Danielle.” she smiled back.

“Well nice to meet you Danielle, I mean I’m sure there is better ways to meet people than getting ran over.” 

“Fuck you” I was relived to see her laugh, she had a cute laugh. “You walked right out in front of me, I had no chance.”

“Ok yeah my bad, my mind wasn’t my own to be honest.” My head drifted down a little as my smile faded.

“That was fucked up what you saw, finding out your partner is cheating on you is rough enough. Then add seeing it and topping it off with your best friend… I would have probably murdered her and cut off his dick, if it was me.” She said it so calmly that it felt half serious, half joking.

“They can have each other now anyway…. Danielle, seriously thanks for the ride and sorry for ruining your night. I’ll jump out anywhere here.” I needed to go face my parents. Moving actually didn’t seem so bad now, the one major person I cared about here just tore my heart out.

“I doubt you want to be alone tonight, look Shane my friend is having a house party, why don’t you come?” She said it with such simplicity, I didn’t really get invited to many house parties, didn’t need too, had Megan.

“Like a seniors party?”

“Yeah mostly, I mean a think there will be a few juniors as well…” 

I thought for a moment. Seeing people I knew sounded dreadful but then again I can spread the news that Megan is a cheating whore and Ryan is an asshole piece of shit.“Fuck it, yeah sure” I shrug.

“Cool, it’s not far. It’s where I was heading before someone decided to jump into my car…” she flashed me a grin.

“Not my best moment I must agree” I chuckle. I would still much rather get ran over by Danielle again than witness what happened in Megan’s bedroom.
