Affliction // Tekken

Chapter 11

Monday morning, I was nervous about school. The last two days I spent with Steve getting to know him, and if I was being honest, he was really sweet, kind and gentle. What I couldn't stop doing, was staring into his eyes, because they were electric blue that made you believe he was alluring. I wait out the front of his house, Steve meets me grabbing my hand.

"Are you okay?" He knows my confused feelings for Jin, and he knows how this is affecting me, but we go along with it anyway, just like Hwoarang suggested.

"Yeah." I squeeze his hand tight as we traipse to school. No sign of Jin, so far, so good. In the distance, I feel eyes stare in surprise and awe. What disturbs my thoughts is a loud smack on the floor. Spinning around, Jin notices my hands entwined with Steve's. I shoot him a glare before continuously walking down until we arrive at the lockers.

"Are you sure that you are, okay?" Caring, and insisting on an answer, I reply,

"I'm fine Steve, I just want you to stay by my side the whole day." I lay my head on his chest, his heartbeat at a slow pace.

"Of course." He gently pecks my forehead before wrapping his masculine arms around my slim body.

"Get to class you two." Miss Miura interrupts our little moment before giving me a wink. I had almost forgotten we had a seating plan, and if I had to sit next to Jin, I would get the time of my life regretting my decisions.

"Class! How was formal?"

"Oh! Sir it was great! Everyone danced, I got to kiss-"

"Great Xiaoyu! Now today you will be learning about Sex Ed." Everyone instantly went quiet, before a few giggles occurred.

"Sir, I'm sure some of us know what it's about, I bet Aya's an expert!" Xiaoyu laughs, and I roll my eyes.

"Actually, I'm a virgin for your information!" I shout telling the whole class one of my secrets.

"Now, now! We don't need trouble; we need someone to demonstrate how to put a condom on this cucumber." Mr Chaolan states placing the cucumber at the front.

"I'm going to leave because I have an important meeting, but I expect you all to be responsible for all your actions." He leaves soon after.

"Well now we all know Aya is a crude."

"Knock it off!" Steve backs me up, I am thankful.

"What are you gonna do about Fox? Are you going to make out with her again?"

"Hey! Don't you use that against him!"

"Guys, settle down!" Julia attempts, but doesn't help the situation.

"Crude!"

"Stop calling me that!"

"Guys-"

"I bet you've done other things!"

"Xiaoyu, you know nothing about me!"

"Oh yeah?"

"I moved here because my adopted parents died! Do you know how hard that's been on me? So hard you wouldn't have any idea! I don't even know my real parents! They dumped me on a doorstep and left!" I shout. The anger. The fear. I stay strong, I don't cry or even whimper. I stay seated uncomfortably next to Jin Kazama. Xiaoyu says nothing. She shuts up in an instance. I get up and stand at the front.

"Now are we going to be adults about this class or are we going to be immature about this?" I hold the cucumber in my hand, the other with an unopened condom packet. Hwoarang stands up zipping the pack out of my fingers. He steals Julia's classes and clears his throat.

"Now everyone, today we will be learning about sex." He speaks in a posh voice.

"What do we call you sir?"

"You shall call me Sir," He mimics "Now, I have this lovely assistant, Miss Yamazaki." I wave towards the whole class before Hwoarang continues,

"Now, what she is holding is a cucumber, obviously and now she is going to demonstrate how to put this condom on the cucumber." Giggles occur, Hwoarang made the class funny. I watch Hwoarang opening the packet handing the condom to me. Awkwardly, I took the rubber item placing it carefully on the cucumber rolling it down its shaft.

"Well done, have you done this before?"

"No I haven't."

"Interesting, as a teacher I would suggest not to, but you guys are mature, and remember, be safe." He holds it up showing the class. I roll my eyes shaking my head in satisfaction.

"Great teaching mate." Steve applauds. I take a seat next to Jin where I am forced.

"You know we can do whatever we want right?" Hwoarang implies whispering into my ear. I get the idea and move away from Jin and next to Steve.

"Hey," Steve wraps his arm around the small of my back holding my hip "You wanna come back to mine after? It'll just be us two." I nod without thought. I glance at Jin for a moment to see the stare of a devil, if looks could kill I would guarantee my death.
