If there are any mistakes, my bad.

TRIGGER WARNING (This chapter mentions rape. If you don't want to read about that, go straight to Raquel's POV)

It was like 10:30pm when I got back to the apartment. If this was high school, I would be celebrating my birthday until the next morning. But I'm not bout that life anymore.

I knocked on the door to the apartment and a few seconds later Raquel opened the door for me. She didn't say anything, she just went back to the living room where she was watching something on tv.

This is how things have been between us since the night we played one on one....and did other things. She was trippin though, but I'm over that shit. I honestly don't even want to do anything with Raquel anymore. I'm not about to waste my time on some stubborn ass pussy when I can get it from pretty much anywhere.

"Damn, you could at least tell me 'Happy birthday.'." I said walking in the the living room and sitting on the other end of the couch.

"I don't give a fuck about your birthday. Take yo little ass on somewhere." The girl said and I laughed because otherwise I would have went off and I try not to do that. I don't like being angry. It's a waste of energy.

"If you don't give a fuck about it, why'd you ask about it last week?" I asked and the girl turned to me.

"I already told you. I asked just to ask. Can you just leave me alone?" The girl said sighing and burying her face in her hands. What the shit is up with this girl?

"What did I do? I know you're not still trippin off that shit from last week. Let that shit go ma. I already did. "I said with a shrug. "It's all good."

"It's not all good. I almost....r-raped you." The girl said looking like she would cry. "I'm just like Tiffany."

"Legally speaking yeah, but let's be real, I would have been the dominant one in the situation, so it's not like you were trying to take advantage of me. Bottoms don't rape people." I said with a shrug.

"This isn't a joke!" Raquel snapped making me jump.

"Don't you think you're overreacting just a little bit? I'm sure you're nothing like this Tiffany person. Who is she by the way?" I asked Raquel started playing with her fingers.

"She was my 10th grade Geometry teacher." The girl said sighing and speaking again before I could respond. "I was a straight A student, but her class was ruining that. I was getting C's on every single assignment, but I was studying my ass off. I understood the material, so I couldn't understand why. This went on for about three weeks before I decided to talk to her about getting a tutor. I asked to speak with her after class one day and it turned that I was getting those C's because she wasn't checking my work. She was purposely ruining my grades, but I didn't know that at the time."

I listened as Raquel went on.

"She told me to meet her after class every Wednesday and Friday for a little extra help and I wanted to pass, so I agreed to it. Plus it was my last period of the day, so it didn't interfere with any of my other classes. The first few days were normal, and then after a while, she would wanted me to sit closer to her and she'd always find a reason to touch me when we talked. They were innocent touches at first, then they got a little inappropriate. I didn't think anything of it because I wanted to pass and the tutoring was helping. Tiffany, well Ms. Stokes easily became my favorite teacher. And I think I became her favorite student."
