Mae's Point Of View

There's just something about the way that he walks. It sounds weird, but that's only because you've never witnessed the long and purposeful strides that Heath Montgomery's lean and muscular legs take as he saunters down the corridors of Fitzgerald Prep School. Too bad they were hidden by those stupid khakis. I lean against the gray lockers and cross my arms over my chest, the rows of metal boxes newly installed.

We were always getting new things around here (thanks to the rich mummies and daddies of the students, including my stuffy parents) new books, new sports equipment, new students and regrettably new drama. Some scandalous rumor or story was always being whispered in these halls, my name often featured in those rumors.

There were only a few students lingering in the hallways, the bell ringing only a few moments ago. Although, I'm not in a rush to get class like the other students scattering across the nearly vacant hallway. I always make a show of walking into class late, my way of expressing my dislike for this school and challenging its authority. Every little infraction counts. And as rumor has it, Mr. Montgomery was known to stir up trouble himself too and was the bad boy of the Quad, which only made me more attracted to the boy. There was nothing like danger that cried out to me in only the way that it could.

I admire the fine specimen before me, my eyes greedily consuming the view of the Quad member. And I wasn't subtle. My nose crinkles as I notice the stupid uniform. It did nothing to flatter him. I hate the stuff they make us wear here. He was dressed in khakis, a white button-down shirt and a blazer with the school's crest sewed on the pocket (the usual boy's uniform)

By chance he looks in my direction right as he is passing me, but only for a short moment. Well that won't do. I kick off the locker and uncross my arms, clearing my throat obnoxiously in the process, pretending something was stuck in it. It was a sad attempt at getting a boy's attention, but I succeed.

Unlike other girls in this school, I couldn't just flip my hair without getting my fingers caught in its tresses. My wild kinky curls were too stiff, a result of my African heritage along with my golden brown skin. I can bat my eyelashes though. And that is exactly what I do, but in a more sarcastic than flirty way.

Heath, seemingly reluctant, slows his pace so that I can catch up to him, "Well if it isn't the big bad wolf."

"What do you want Keeler?" I raise my brows at his tone. What did I do now? I decide not to ask him, afraid of the answer. It could have been a number of things.

"I think you know exactly what I want, Montgomery. But we can get to that later if you would like. Or you can skip with me now and we can hop on it as soon as possible. And by it I mean me. Whenever is fine with me," I joke, pressing up against his side as we walk down the hall in sync.

I didn't know why, but for some reason I always got under Montgomery's skin. We have what you would call a love/hate relationship. I love to tease him and he hates to be teased. He runs his tan and large hand through his short dark brown hair, his brown eyes hold a thoughtful and mischievous glint in them. What was he thinking?

"Alright. Let's go now." He suddenly turns, picks me up, and throws me over his shoulder, my short plaid skirt falling and exposing the shorts that I wore under them just in case something like this happened.

"Montgomery, put me down! The offer has expired and I need to get to class!" He smacks my butt then drops me. I land gracefully on my feet and huff. I hated when he did that. I straighten out my clothes, tucking my blouse into my skirt then pulled down my navy blazer.

"And I thought you were serious this time. I swear, Keeler, sometimes you act like a virgin. You can't do that to me," he teases, chuckling. I swallow, but quickly cover it up by laughing with him. Little did Heath and the rest of the student body of Fitzgerald know, I am a virgin, despite the many rumors that have traveled around about my erotic sex adventures.
