Paige Bryant walked through the hall, her head held high looking stunning as ever despite the school's shabby uniform. She swayed her hips from side to side in her navy blue skirt, as all the boys turned their head to take a look. She knew that they would look, but wouldn't dare touch. Sean would tear them apart if he'd known that someone was harassing his girl. Paige opened her locker to get her books for her first class. Just, as she turned around, preparing to walk to class, she felt strong arms wrap around her waist as she was suddenly carried off the ground.
"Sean stop it! I really don't need detention!" she said, in a playful matter.
"Stop being such a wussy, I've already had 3 this month."
"What did I tell you about getting into too much trouble? She said with a shake of her head. "You can get kicked off the lacrosse team for that, you know?"
"Like you don't? You might as well take all your classes from the principal's office. And you know Principal Weller, loves me too much for that to happen. Rumor Academy would be nothing without its star lacrosse team captain." he explained using the school's nickname.
Paige smiled knowing that the name she has given the school is catching on quickly, soon enough no one will refer to it as Lincoln Academy. It was a way more suitable name for the school anyway, rumors swirled around like a hurricane at Lincoln Academy.
"I know. I just don't want to be known for dating the bad boy. This queen has a reputation to uphold, if haven't noticed." She fussed.
"It seems that me getting in trouble is stressing you out, babe." he said to her while trying to massage her shoulder. "Studies show that sexual intercourse relieves stress." he continued, placing a kiss on her neck.
"Ms. Bryant and Mr. Ford! If you don't separate right now, you'll both get detention!" A teacher said, stopping near the the couple.
Sean quickly took his hands off Paige's waist.
"There's no need for that, Mr. Bay."
"There will be if I see you and Ms. Bryant engaging in any more sexual activity." Mr. Bay said, before walking, away with his eyes staring back continuously at the couple.
"You see, Paige, even teachers think we're having sex!" He stated.
"As tempting as that sounds, I still think we should wait." she replied with a flirty smile. She was groaning on the inside, though. For some reason, Sean has been pressuring her into having sex with him a lot lately. She wasn't even sure if she loved him or not. Paige didn't want to have sex with a guy that she wasn't in love with.
"Can you stop being such a nun?" he exclaimed irritated. It seemed as if her smile didn't faze him at all. "You act like your still a virgin."
He saw that she grew tense at that statement. "Wait, babe, did I offend you?" he said, placing a hand around her waist. She took a quick step back, away from him.
RING!! RING!! The minute warning bell rang.
"I have to get to class." she said, hurrying off quickly.
She stepped into the girls restroom, staring into the mirror.
"You are strong. You are not weak. No one will ever take advantage of you again. You are an overcomer." she whispered to herself.
With those words, a new wave of confidence swept over her. She reapplied her lip gloss and walked into the classroom just as the official bell rang.
"I see that you've actually decided to join the class on time today, Ms. Bryant." Mr. Wiley, her 50 year old biology teacher, stated.
"Yeah, aren't you so proud of me?" she said sarcastically with a fake smile.
