twist of time (18+)

Twenty-one

"Nekkoya nekkoya... I want to be your star!"

A Korean song played on my phone, and my hand frantically groped anywhere around my bedside table, searching for it. 

"Yes?" I said, with closed eyes.

"I just want to remind you that your performance is tomorrow at the main hall."

"What?" I jolted awake and opened my eyes in shock. No one ever invited me and I never volunteer myself to perform. I was too closeted to even want to do it. "Do you really dial the right number?"

"Wait... yes, is this Mayfae Minami from Visual art?"

"Yes?" I said, raking my bang, pushed it to the back, silently hoped that they picked the wrong person.

"Lovely, don't you ever remember my voice? Yes, you are scheduled to sing "Rumor" at the main hall, this morning at the basketball competition opening"

"Rumor?" I remember slightly I did it for fun with my friends.

"Yes lovely, With Lana and Britney. You all did general rehearsal a few days back"

I frowned a bit "Oh.. I see" I tried hard to remember, yet I have no recollection of it. "When is the venue?"

"Tomorrow morning at eight" The person on the other side of the line answered. "Didn't you the one who asks me, lovely?"

Taking a deep breath, I caught he nicknamed me lovely several times.  "Oh yeah, it just I've been really busy that I forget completely." I lied.

What is this nickname? Is he another person I slept with?

"I understand love, we all like that. I will call Britney and make sure you all ready. Don't worry" He made a kissing sound and closed the connection.

Looking into the screen I sighed and dropped myself at the bed.

Now what? I have no memory of that thing. Totally. How would I perform?

The phone beeped. It was from Britney about the costume, black hotpants, pink miniskirt, and a white cropped shirt. Hair let loose. I have them all. So I just had to get ready for tomorrow I guess. I sighed.

As If I can do it in one night. Well, the only thing to do is prepare myself.

I walked to the middle of the floor, sighed and played the minus one on my phone and danced.

As long as I wanted to delay, tomorrow still comes. Ignoring the temptation to flee, I forced myself to campus, covering the costume with my fave big sweater.

As soon as I arrived, I wear makeup and, even when my knee weakened and my teeth chattered, I went to the gymnasium. Outside of the building, a dude with curly hair waved. I assumed he waited for me and run near. He took my hand and pulled me inside.

"Your turn is in an hour. Britney and Lana will be arrived soon" He smiled and put his lips near my lips and whispered. "Lovely, I miss you." And in an instant, he twirled me behind the closed door with his feet, planting his lips in mine, while I stared him wide-eyed.  But then his hand slipped inside my shirt...

I just need it. Need it. I can't stand his touch.

Mayfae kissed him back, devour his lips with such a force that his lips bleed a bit. He chuckled softly and releasing her lips. She gasped when he slipped up her cropped shirt.

"I know you would want this" He whispered before ravaged her pillowy chest.

Breathing unevenly, May hand took his finger and slipped it under her skirt, moaned softly as his finger touched the wetness of her slit, and rub it roughly between her thigh.

"Rumor" Song rung and the man released her so suddenly that she fell.

"Britney," He said in a warning tone while he smartened himself. She pulled down her shirt and nodded, tried hard to calm down her ragged breath.

He got out and vanished, while Mayfae straightened and smartened herself, pulling her best smile, and walked out calmly to search the two of her best friend.

Somehow, I could move and sing very well on the stage. The jubilant audience sang along while we danced. Every hair throwing movement boomed us with cheers and catcall. We bowed while the audience clapped furiously. We were in high spirit when we got into the backstage. Lana even smiled at me.

"Hey, that was awesome," She said to me. I smiled back, hugging her tightly.

"We are awesome, right? I miss you" I said, teary. It was awful that I hurt her. Britney came and we all group hugged.

"I love you all," I said, smiling and crying at the same times. I was so glad doing this performance. I took my phone and we took a wefie in front of the actress dressing lamps. Then Britney went out, called by a dude outside the room.

Two men opened the door. "Hello, we want fans signing please?" It was Alec. He brought a big bouquet of flower.

Lana laughed and hugged her brother.  "Aw, what is this sudden sibling love?"

"What a great brother am I right?" Alec hugged her back.

Blake showed up behind him, walked straight to me and hugged me. "You are so awesome Babe," He said, kissed my cheek.

Lana opened her lips for a few seconds, and then closed it up, and smiled, forcibly. "Ooh.. you actually choose Blake," She said, sighed and bit her lips, looking up and sighed again. But then she smiled and elbowed her brother. "You're not crying, bro?"

Alec smiled and walked to me, pecked my temple. "No, cos she is mine too. We share her for both of us" He hugged me. "Brilliant idea to preserve our friendship isn't it?"

Lana shook her head slowly "It's not... This is so messed up... I just... !" She stormed out of the room.

I released Blake and Alec and chased Lana. I passed Britney with the guy I met earlier behind me.

Panting out of breath, I caught her on the dirty and empty alley behind the  Gymnasium. "LANA!" Took her arm, I forced her to face me. "I ..."As she faced me, I lost my words.

Could I say that I forget everything before I fucked both of them...?

"What do you want to say huh?" She released me. "It is fine if it just Blake. Even when I have a big crush on him... even when... I.. really ..."She broke into tears.

"Lana..."I lost for words.

"I knew you made my brother do everything, anything for you. I knew he takes care for you when you're sick, even when you are not really sick, you just manipulate them!" She laughed, but I heard desperate cries inside the laugh.

"For fuck sake, you didn't even go to a doctor, you just pretended to faint to take control of them! You just an attention whore!" She spat.

And then Lana smiled "I think that's it. Don't ever call me a friend again, ever" She ran.

I turned to Britney behind me. I hope consolation and comfort when I smiled sadly to her, but I just received her sour smile. "You deserved it," she said.

"Britney?" I gasped.

She snorted. "You thought I don't know you hogged my boyfriend inside the broom closet?" Britney's smiled, a mixture of pain and sadness. "You thought I don't know that you do something with my boyfriend behind his car?" She sighed. "He told me everything. "

Britney looked straight into my eyes."May, I don't know what to say. I love you, but I don't know what's wrong with you. You're so messed up. It just I don't and can't ... be your friend anymore." She shook her head slowly. "Goodbye" Her tears snaked under her glasses, and she walked out.
