They Don't Have to Know

Chapter 1

“Did you know a moment is one point five minutes?”, Miles said looking at his phone. He was lying on his bed under the covers naked while Autumn got dressed.

“Yes. I see my extreme addiction to Reddit is rubbing off on you.” Autumn continued to grab her clothes off the floor and dressed herself without missing a beat.

“More like you’re rubbing me off.” Miles bad joke earned him his boxers getting thrown at his face. Autumn put in her earrings, brushed her brown hair, put on her glasses over her blue eyes and then walked out of Miles’ room without saying anything else. She knew that if she stayed any longer it would probably result in a conversation about how they should stop with the whole sex thing or worse Miles would bring up the idea of breaking up with his girlfriend so they could live happily ever after.

All Autumn cared about was fucking people. She didn’t want a relationship that would inevitably lead to her heart getting broken. She didn’t want a friend with benefits. There’s a reason she would only have sex with people that were already in relationships. They already had a person they loved so she knew there was low chance of them having one of those epiphanies about how they want to stop fucking around and start going on dates or something like in “Friends with Benefits” or “No Strings Attached”. Autumn refused to watch either of those movies but she was sure they were the exact same thing. In the end Autumn liked to have sex and she found out the perfect way to remove all feelings. It’s not her fault she had sex with people who were in relationships. She’s single, so no blood on her hands.

While it may seem Autumn would be the talk of the town and people would be calling her a slut left and right but it was actually quite the opposite. She was quiet, only had a few close friends, and was nice to everyone. She probably looked like the poster child for virgins. She made her mark at parties when everyone was drunk and there were so many people around that no one cared about what other people were doing. She would find some hot drunk person and drag them into a closet or bedroom and go to town. Sometimes it lead to these fuck buddies like Miles but most of the time it was strictly a one night stand.

Autumn walked into school and found her best friend Darron waiting for her. “Who were you with? I walked past your house but you obviously weren’t home. How do you stay out all night without your parents worrying?” he asked.

“Well I was with ‘none of your business’ and I’ve already told you that you are my scapegoat. My mom is totally fine with me staying over with you all the time because you’re gay and before you say anything, what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her.” That was becoming Autumn’s motto at this point. They began walking to their first class. They were lucky they could spend the mornings together.

“I find it funny that your mom assumes you’re hanging out with a gay guy when in reality you a probably fucking some girl.”

“Oh you don’t even know the half of it. She is totally clueless.” Darron laughed. She walked down the hall with the confidence of a cheerleader. Autumn was going to end her senior year not with a bang but with a lot of bangs.
