I was standing in the middle of the room with my shirt halfway over my head, wiggling to get the damn thing off without unbuttoning it. I tugged and that's when my shirt came off. I looked down to see that I was wearing a bra with fucking Pikachu on it. The zipper of my skirt was half undone.
Wow. This just had to be today.
I looked up to see him standing in boxers. SpongeBob Squarepants boxers.
Well, at least I'm not the only weirdo here.
"Hey, let me crash here toniiiii.....is that you? Ms Peeping Tom?" My eyes widened further if that was possible.
Oh fuck.
Those were the last words I heard before I decided to do the only thing I could think of. I fainted
Charlie's POV:
"Ooh, man! I didn't know you were screwing a girl now!! The heartbreak must have been real bad," I heard Green Eyes say.
I can't believe I still don't know his name.
You think that's what is wrong with this situation here!!!! I chastised myself.
I squint open one eye to see them both towering over me. Oh lord.
As if it wasn't enough for Ace to be standing in his boxers, Green eyes was wearing a hot ass suit.
I closed my eyes. I know now what too hot to handle really signifies.
"I'm not!!!" Ace shouted at him, his eyes wide and shaking his head wildly making his hair sway. Damn, that must be some shampoo.
"Heartbroken?"
"Sleeping with her!! I just met her today and I like taking things slow," Ace told him with a casual shrug.
"Then, can somebody tell me what the heck is going on here?"
"I think we're going to share the same dorm room," Ace told him.
"What?!!!" I sat up in shock, looking at them.
Their eyes widened and they turned away as one.
Huh?
It took me a minute to realise that I was still not wearing a shirt.
The door opened with a bang and we all turned towards it as one," Hey, Charlie! I forgot to ask...Ooh, threesome? You think we can turn it into a foursome?"
Aries leaned against the door with a smirk on his face. He folded his hands, raising a brow at the scene in front of him and I just realised how bad it looked.
I was red, the colour of the ripest tomato in the world. I'm sitting half-naked in front of three guys which is three guys more than in my entire life.
"Get the fuck out of here!!" I shouted at them, pointing to the door.
Ten minutes later I was fully clothed and sitting on the bed, reliving the horror/porn film that I just saw a few minutes ago. I can't believe that happened.
There's no point delaying the horror. So I got up and opened the door.
"I can't believe you kicked me out in a hallway full of people while I was almost naked," He muttered, shivering and I felt kind of bad for him.
"So much for gender equality. Did you know I was almost harassed out there?" He shouted in my face when I didn't say anything.
Talk about bipolar disorder.
He walked past me and I shut the door behind me as I walked out.
We can talk when we're both fully dressed.
"So? Is it a hobby to peep on random strangers or an "accident" again?" I jumped back hearing the deep voice. I turned around to see him leaning against the wall with his phone in his hand.
"You know what? Assume what suits you and boasts that already bloated ego of yours." I spat at him.
I walked a few steps before being pulled to the side to the stairway.
A water bottle appeared in front of me, "I figured you'd need it."
I looked up to see Aries staring at me with his forest green eyes. I took the bottle from his hand and took a sip.
"Would you like to tell me what happened?" He asked, looking straight in front of him sitting on the staircase. I sat beside him.
"Cliff notes version. I was changing in my room. Ace walked out of the bathroom. Green eyes walked in. I fainted. You came and asked for a foursome and that's about it," His cheeks turned red and he mumbled out a sorry before his eyes flitted over my boobs.
"Don't stare at my boobs," I told him.
"Sorry," He muttered, cheeks redder than a tomato.
"You're doing it again," I pointed out.
"I know. I never even knew you had boobs to begin with!!!! You can't just have a preview. They never looked that big under those shirts. They're too big for you, shawty," He tried explaining and failed miserably.
"Ok, I know they're great but can we stop talking about my boobs?" I teased him.
A throat clearing in the background caught our attention and we turned to look back as one.
"We need to talk," He grabbed my hand and pulled me along with him.
Geez. Slow down, you alien. Not everyone has long legs like willie the giant.
He pulled me inside the room we just had our..ahem.. encounter in and stopped midway and I slammed right into his back.
"Ow," I cried, rubbing my nose.
"Change your dorm room," He ordered, still not looking back at me and I wanted to kick his ass. Well, I am standing behind him, maybe I could. I shifted back a little and took a good aim before swinging my leg. He turned around abruptly and I stopped midway with my leg in the air.
"What are you doing?" He asked me looking at my leg.
"My leg hurt...I...I'm trying to stretch it out." I told him.
"O...kay?" He asked.
"I'm not changing my dorm room," I told him tucking my hands behind me.
"Well, I was here first... this is my room," He whined.
I raised my brows, "Wait, am I in the wrong dormitory? Is this the boys' dorm?" I asked him, panicking. What the heck? That would explain all the boys.
"There's no boy dormitory." He told me, looking at me as if I'm the crazy one here.
"No boy dormitory?"
"You read the brochure, right? You do know that we have coed dorms here, don't you?" He asked.
"Coed dorms?" I took a monent to process that before I spoke aloud,"Oh daddy's gonna flip out."
"Don't you think you're way too young to have a sugar daddy?" He smirked at me.
"I'm talking about my dad." I kept my face straight.
"And you change your dorm room!" I shouted at him.
"Hey! You met your roommate!" Olivia exclaimed and I wanted to kill this girl.
Why doesn't anybody ever knock in this place. Wasn't this school built to teach rich brats manners here?
"You did this!," Ace and I shouted at Olivia at the same time.
"Aww, you're like twins. You'd make great roomies."
"Move her to a different room," Ace exclaimed.
"Don't talk about me like I'm not here," I warned him.
"I agree with Charlie and sorry boy, no can do. You gotta follow em rules," She told him.
"You're the fucking student body president. Of course you can fo something!!!!" He exclaimed.
"Well I don't choose dorm rooms. They're randomly assigned," She told him.
"Ughhh," he growled at her before storming out.
"So? Are you ready for your first ever formal dinner?" Olivia asked with a smile on her face.
"What are you on about?" I narrowed my eyes at her.
"You'll see," She waves me off before changing the subject.
"So, what're you wearing for dinner?" She asks me and I look down at the clothes I'm wearing.
A T-shirt and sweatpants.
"I'm not going. I feel like stuffing my face with junk food and watching netflix," I told her.
"Oh come on, it's going to be your first formal dinner here and you're going to give that up for what? Netflix? Baby netflix ain't half as good as the drama that goes down here," She smirked at me.
"And we're gonna have an after party...so the junk food is all sorted out."
Hmm.
What more can a girl want?
"Okay, let me get ready," I told her and she took a seat on the bed.
Half an hour later, I was ready and good to go with Olivia's full approval.
We walked down the hallway side by side.
Ace's POV:
I sat at my designated table beside Mason as we waited for the ladies to join us.
I was dressed to be proper and prim in a suit. I looked down at the assortment of spoons, knives and forks before sighing. Ughh. I still can't remember which to use when.
My mind drifted back to earlier this evening and my cheeks turned red. Well, it was technically my fault...I should've know when I saw a dress in a laundry bucket I don't own.
Ughh.
My cheeks turned redder as I remembered everybody....seriously everybody in the dorm walking by me, some girls even crowding the hallway as I stood there in my boxers.
Adeel rushed through the door, late as usual. He took a seat beside me and took a deep breath before turning to me.
"So, you've made news again. I knew you both were close but sharing a girl. Bruh, I thought I was the player here. I can't believe you stole my reputation." He smirked, his eyes flickering back and forth between me and Mason.
I turned to Mason, our expressions identical as we both shuddered and stood up to change our places.
I settled beside Vivian.
"What's this about?" She raised her brow at me.
"I have no idea," I told her with my cheeks red.
"Ace had a foursome," Luke smirked at me.
I'm going to kill him.
Vivian's eyes widened in shock. "You lost your virginity? " She blurted out the words but thankfully only I could hear her.
"No!!!" I shook my head.
"It has been trending #1 on the school website," Abigail commented.
"Yo, mann...who knew our quiet little Ace was such a player!!!" Aiden hollered before patting Noah's back , "Noah, it's about time you show your real colours too."
I ducked my head down until it hit the table. Ughhh. I looked down at the ground...couldn't you just swallow me?
I finally found the courage to look up and my eyes widened. She was wearing a formal black dress...like all the other girls but she seemed to stand out. I couldn't point it out but she looked gorgeous.
"May I remind you she's just 14, guys. Chill out," Noah chided them.
"Yeah, well Vivian was 15 when Owwww," I pinched Adeel on his side.
Thankfully Vivian was busy drooling over Luke.
There were only two empty seats at our table which just happened to be beside Mason.
Olivia pushed Charlie in the seat beside Mason which just happened to be in front of me.
"Good evening, ladies and gentleman. You may start with your meal," The dean greeted.
We ate in silence. I was thanking heavens by the time we finished our meal. If I had to sit there any longer, I'd have killed myself with that cultery.
"So, who's ready to party??" Adeel practically skipped down the hallway.
Him amd his parties.
"Hell yeah!" Almost everyone in the hallway shouted.
I was about to refuse when Adeel asked Charlie, "You're coming, right?"
"Sure," She smiled at him and with that said, an hour later I was sitting in god knows whose house.
I quietly sat beside Aiden, trying to avoid eye contact, especially after what happened today.
By the time everyone walked in, the place was as crowded as it could be and somehow Charlie was sitting right beside me with Mason on her other side.
"Ok, now that everyone's here. Let's play a game. Suck and Blow," Adeel winked at Charlie who instantly turned red. I don't like it.
"Cool, a great way to get a kiss," Someone commented.
"And communicable diseases," Charlie muttered under her breath. Mason and I laughed and everyone turned our way. I started coughing while Mason simply smiled.
The game started with Adeel who dropped it on the first go. "Oops?" He said and kissed the girl beside him. Pervert.
Abigail passed it to Vivian who i'm damn sure intentionally dropped it and kissed Lucas.
So, the game was basically horny couples having an excuse to kiss in the middle of a crowded living room.
Someone passed it to me and I turned to pass it to Charlie. Her face was so close to me, I could feel her warmth and trace every detail of her face, the black and brown swirling in her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering as she blinked. My eyes dropped to her lips, pink with a glossy shine to them. I swallowed and before I knew it, the card dropped and so did my heart for a moment before my heart rate monitor skyrocketed and before it could beep everyone's ears out, I switched it off.
My eyes met her widened orbs and her breaths grew shallow, matching mine as we simply gazed at each other for what felt like hours. I don't know what made me do it but I leaned towards her and her eyes widened further, if that was possible. She squeezed her eyes shut and I smiled before taking her hand and placing a kiss on it.
Adeel hollered and Abigail dramatically fanned herself while someone else jeered.
"Man, I never knew you were such a player," Mason smirked over Charlie's head and that's when she pulled herself away from me, her face a bright shade of cherry.
Abruptly, bundles by taylor girlz rang through the living room and Charlie picked up her phone. She handed the card to Mason and rushed out.
"But, that was my phone?" Noah murmured before walking behind her.
I smiled at her cuteness before walking away from the group.
I walked out to get some fresh air. I sat on a bench with my head between my hands, willing my head not to go to the dark places. Now, I remember why I don't like these parties. The smell of alcohol makes me dizzy, the sweaty people make me nauseous and the over affectionate couples make me wanna puke.
"It's Charlotte!!!" A muffled voice shouted and I turned to the side to see Charlie walking barefoot on the ground with Mason following her and that's when I noticed what an adorably short munchkin she is.
"Well, I'm thinking I shouldn't call you Ms. Peeping Tom anymore," He grabbed her wrist and turned her around to face
"Good," She shouted in his face.
"Pikachu definitely suits you much better," He gave her an innocent smile, putting his hands in his pockets.
Ughh. Stop flirting with her. I wanted to scream at him and I didn't even know why.
Her face grew red and she looked like she wanted to throw a fit but she turned around and walked away.
By the time she was gone, Mason sported a full-fledged grin.
He turned his head to see me sitting on the bench and made his way to me. He magically produced two non-alcoholic beers, I knew because I learnt it the hard way, out of his pocket.
"Wanna place a bet?" He asked me after handimg me a can.
"A bet?"I asked him.
"I like her," Ok...I don't know where this is going, "The new girl. And I know you do too."
"So?" I asked him. No point in denying the truth.
"Come on! I don't want us to fight over a girl!"
"No, you want to place a bet on who gets her first," I voiced his thoughts and he nodded.
"Isn't that fighting too?" I raised a brow at him.
"It's a civil way of settling differences," He countered
"So? Are you in?" With what happened to Vivian, I was never a part of it. But now...with her, I wanted to be a part of it. My conscience was constantly telling me it was wrong and I would've listened if it hadn't been for her. She hadn't been here a whole day amd she was taking over my mind.
I know this is wrong but it'll give me a reason to chase after her.
And that was my fucked up reasoning for accepting that fucked up bet.
Long time, no see. (Nervous chuckles)
I'm sorry? Just a little. I have a full explanation why I haven't been updating but i'd rather not get into it. But I would say this.
Senior year= Stressing about finding a college.
Senior year and a pandemic= Chaos
I'm an indian teen applying to a US college, hoping for a full scholarship with no SATs/ACTs & not much extracurriculars. While my GPA is okay, i've got a lot to work on. I'm preparing for my SATs while trying to build my extracurriculars and trying to find AP classes. More so, I'm preparing for IIT-JEE (A national level exam that allows student to take admission in top engineering colleges). So, it's safe to say that I'M BUSY.
And if y'all have any idea how to help me, DM me on my instagram (username- its_vidhisharma)
