We're chaste, we're untouched, and even if we weren't, no one would know, because we keep our mouths shut. Not that I have anything to share anyway. I never let guys go too far. I'm behaved. Beautiful, smart, talented, popular, my skirt's always pressed, and I never have a hair out of place.

The truth is that it's easy for me to resist them, because what I truly want, they can never be. Something soft and smooth. Someone dangerous and wild. Unfortunately, what I want I have to hide. In the locker room after hours. In the bathroom stall between classes. In the showers after practice. My head swimming. My hand up her skirt. For me, life is a web of secrets. No one can find out mine. OLIVIA I cross the tracks every day for one reason-to graduate from this school and get into the Ivy League.

She thinks she's still pure as long as it's not a guy touching her. I told her to stay on her side of town. I told her not to cross the tracks. But one night, she did. And when I'm done with her, she'll never be pure again.
