- PIECE OF PAPER -

Self-loathing had stayed my mood ever since I got kicked out of the course. I had gone to meet the teacher to explain my plight, but he had refused outrightly considering I hadn't approached him from the onset. Micah and Celeste had been pretty scarce ever since our meeting at the park. Just remembering her words made me clench my thighs.

People actually pleasured themselves? Even though they knew it was a sin? Weren't they scared of the world of the infernals where they were all bound to burn and maintain consciousness through their plight? Maybe they knew, maybe they didn't, I had no right to judge.

I had opened the piece of paper yesterday and I had told myself I wasn't doing anything bad. It wasn't bad; I was just curious. I just wanted to understand. Reading the instructions had made me wonder when exactly he had gotten the time to write it down while we were in the hall. I had refused to check what he had said; he had written a site of some sort and had instructed me to get Ryth's spare phone off her to use.

I had convinced myself yesterday that I would not do it, but what was Ryth's spare phone doing in my hands? Why was I desperately typing in the site he had provided into the bar? Why did I click search?

And why were these people naked?

In the paper Micah had given me, the instructions read:

'Make sure you're alone before doing it, just a heads up. Go to the Chrome icon on Ryth's phone and type this in, pornhub.com. Just watch and enjoy, okay?'

Who in their sane minds would make videos of themselves naked? Who in their sane minds would watch said videos? What was I doing?

I dropped the phone on my bed with a thump, my hands clasped as I said a quick prayer. I would not watch it again. That was too much for me to handle, way too much. Did Micah know that? Why would he make me watch something like that?

I walked towards the door, locking it in place before laying on my bed on my side with my back turned away from the place I had dropped the phone. I didn't need to be told that that was the sinful gallery the people at the County emphasized and warned us, kids, to be careful of. That was also the reason we weren't allowed to have mobile devices. In the County, only the priest had a cell phone. My mother had gotten a laptop for undisclosed reasons. They believed that seeing eye to eye was better than having conversations over the space. What made the priest different? Why did he need a phone?

I groaned loudly as I turned to face where I had dropped the phone. My thoughts going in haphazard directions while I stayed still on my side on the bed. I knew what I had to do. All I had to do was close the application Micah had asked me to open and keep Ryth's phone where she could find it when she got back. Easy peasy.

I picked up the phone with shaky hands, my hands wiping the screen several times when it refused to move. I wiped my hand on my sweater before heaving a sigh. My hands were sweaty, I was scared. I hadn't been mentally prepared for what my eyes had seen when I opened the site. Naked women and men, mating, engaging in sinful acts. Their voices in high pitches as they committed the acts. I had planned to close it when I accidentally clicked on another video. I was in a trance. I watched with attentive and curious eyes as they conversed. I couldn't find where the volume was, I didn't know how to go about it. Their voices were loud, and the smacking sounds their bodies made.

I couldn't look away.

I stared, my mind yelling at me to close it, to sanctify my body and keep it safe from the sins of this world. Whereas my body had plans of its own as it made me numb, I couldn't move my shaky hands to stop the video, neither could I close the application. My eyes stayed glued, not once fleeting from the screen.

She screamed once. Twice before something streamed down her thigh and out of the penis of the man. Ejaculation.

Each video I watched seemed to have a different, a different scene, a different, but they all had the same thing in common. Sex. Some featured odd-like scenarios and my eyes squeezed together in disgust as I stared, yet I didn't move it off the screen. Some sick, twisted fantasy had been acted out and I still didn't close it.

"Why will you have sex with your daughter?" I muttered unconsciously as the next video started.

The sound of Ryth greetings reached my ears, and I threw the phone up, hurriedly detaching myself from it before rushing to pick it up again to hide what I had been viewing. Micah might as well be the devil they taught us of. The door handle jiggled as Ryth tried to open the door. I dropped her phone on her desk before plopping onto my bed with a book in hand.

"Oh goodness, my legs are so sore." She moaned as she fell on her bed.

"Sorry," I said, not realizing how breathless I sounded before I cleared my throat.

"Are you okay?" She asked out of the blues and I clenched my fingers around the book in my hand.

"Yeah, why are you asking?"

"You sound like you just ran a marathon and your book is upside down." She stated.

I looked down to find my book upside down like she had said, "I'm just tired."

"Take care of yourself, you know you're still new around here." She advised before picking up her phone from the desk, "This phone is hot o. How did your project come out?"

"Project?" I dumbly asked.

"The one you needed my phone for?" She raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. I finished it, it was surprising." I answered before reading the book in my hand.

Some minutes passed with Ryth using her phone while I pretended to read, whereas I had been on the same line for the past 5 minutes.

"Theresa?" She suddenly called.

"Yes?"

"My data has finished." She said.

"Oh, I don't know how that works."

"You used my data for your project, but I don't understand how it has finished. I just bought it yesterday." She gloomily said as she scrolled on her phone.

"I'll repay you."

"It's fine. It's just-" She paused, and I looked up to see her eyes wide as she stared at the phone.

She looked up at me and asked the one thing I wished she didn't, "You were watching porn?"
