The Prettiest Boy

Part 4

At first, Victor thought it would be fine. Tory was the one to say it was okay to ignore her, but when she passed by, only sharing a glance, it hurt. A knot was welling up inside Victor's stomach as all he could do was watch Tory from a distance. The first girl to accept him, and he is putting it all at risk in order to keep his status. He had been around these people since middle school, but even though they did not accept him for who he truly was, some friends were better than none; as that's what Victor felt. It was truly pathetic, and he knew that. During lunch, a certain conversation was brought up that angered Victor.

"I saw Vic-ey boy here walking on the same street that Tory lives on." said Tyler, elbowing Will.

"No-way dude! You got some pussy and you didn't even tell us?" said Will.

"I don't know what you guys are talking about." said Victor, trying to ignore everyone's stare.

"Dude, I totally saw you walking from her house. No need to be shy." said Tyler

"Yeah, is she a freak in bed?" asked Kennedy.

Victor tried to ignore them, until Chris spoke.

"I'm gonna go ask ya' girl over there what went down. If you won't spill it, then I'm going to go ask her myself." Chris immediately stood up and began walking over to Tory. Victor got up and ran after him, begging him to just leave it alone. Tory saw the two of then coming from across the room and softly closed her laptop. She leaned forward as she rested her head in her hand. "So, I've heard you and my man here got together last night."

Tory glanced over at Victor, who seemed upset and shaken over the matter. Her stare returned to Chris, who had on a cocky smirk.

"What's it to you?" she remarked.

Chris' smirk grew as he leaned closer to her.

"My boys over there and I all made bets to see if Vic-ey boy could get you in bed for the night. All of us got some money on the table and would really like an answer."

Tory's face had become scrunched. She looked over at Victor, who was shocked that Chris had just said their little secret.

"How could you? You let them bet money on me so you could fuck me?" she said out loud to Victor.

Victor threw his hands up and shook his head.

"No! I swear I have no part in it! I told them I wasn't going to use you." pleaded Victor.

Tory immediately stood up.

"You're an asshole, Victor. I seriously thought you were different from everyone else. Seems I was wrong." She picked up her laptop and began walking away. "Enjoy your friends."

Chris stood back, trying to hold back a laugh.

"What a nut case! All I asked was if she did it with you or not. It's not like it's a big deal." said Chris.

Victor clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to punch Chris, but then he would have the other five ganging up on him.

"You know what, Chris? Screw you. I'm done hanging around you guys. Have fun with your money, you prick." said Victor before leaving the cafeteria, in search of Tory.

The only problem with this is Tory hid in the bathroom. She hid in there for the rest of the period and then went home. She was hurt, and felt betrayed. Talking to Victor at that moment was something she refused to do until she could collect her thoughts. Victor, on the other hand, would not let it end this way. He knew it was his fault she felt wronged, and knew he had to make things right. He felt he deserved another chance, as this time things would be different. When school ended, Victor made sure to head straight over to Tory's, ut instead of Tory answering the door, a middle aged woman did instead.
