Alex's Awakening

Chapter Seven

Life looked less good when she got home and found her parents waiting for her, looking none too pleased.

"Where have you been, young lady?" her father demanded, as Alex's blood turned to ice in her veins.

"I told you I'd be out late," she said, shrugging and trying to keep her tone calm.

"You didn't say you'd be out all night!" he thundered. "Where were you?! Do you know what time it is?"

"It's past midnight," Alex said calmly, trying to defuse the situation.

"That's not the point!" he roared. "You didn't even answer your phone when we called! Where were you? Who were you with?"

"I was with some friends," Alex lied, hating herself for lying to her own parents but knowing they couldn't find out about her true job. "We just lost track of time. Believe me, if I could've called, I would've. But my phone died, and I didn't have a charger. I'm sorry for not answering. I didn't mean to worry you."

Alex tried to keep her voice steady, but her heart was pounding in her chest. She knew she couldn't tell them the truth about where she'd been or what she'd been doing, but the lies felt like poison on her tongue.

Her mother narrowed her eyes, suspicion clear in her gaze.

"What friends? You don't have any friends outside of school."

Alex hesitated, knowing she had to tread carefully. "Just some people I met through the debate club," she lied, trying to sound casual. "It's no big deal."

Her mother's expression softened a bit. "Well, as long as you're safe," she said, her voice still stern. "But Alex, you know you have a curfew. No more of these late nights, young lady."

That was going to be a problem, Alex knew, as her heart sank. Her work often kept her out very late. " Yes, Mother," Alex said, trying to hide her unease. How was she going to get around this? She'd have to come up with something, and soon.

Alex racked her brains as she stared at her mother and father, but no solutions came to her. She knew that if she told them the truth about where she'd been and what she'd been doing, the consequences would be dire.

"Look," she said finally, sighing. "I need to get some sleep before school tomorrow." Alex turned to leave, but her mother's voice stopped her.

"Alex?"

She turned back around. "Yes?"

"Are you sure you're okay? You seem...different lately. More distant. Is everything all right?"

Alex hesitated, her heart racing. She couldn't tell them the truth, but she couldn't keep lying to them either. "I'm fine, Mother. I promise. I've just been really preoccupied with my schoolwork and extracurriculars. I've got a lot on my plate right now, what with being class president and all. Plus, I'm set to be valedictorian, so I've gotta keep my grades up. Now, I really need to catch some Zs. Don't worry about me, though. I'll be fine." She forced a smile, hoping they would buy it.

As she climbed the stairs to her bedroom, Alex couldn't shake the feeling of foreboding in the pit of her stomach. But for now, she pushed those thoughts away and focused on the task at hand: preparing for her gangbang tomorrow night. Alex knew it would challenge her on every level: physical, mental, and emotional. Fucking so many guys at the same time would test her endurance to the limit, but she was looking forward to it.

The following morning, she barely focused on her schoolwork at all. Alex's mind was preoccupied with thoughts of her imminent ravaging, at the way she was going to be fucked and passed around by no fewer than five men like a worthless piece of meat. It was oddly, simultaneously degrading and sexy at the same time. She could already feel herself getting wet just thinking about it.
