Stuck to the tattered wood was a shiny gold plated plaque. Written in scroll handwriting incomprehensibly was:
1# The first rule of the bad boy's club is you do not talk about our club
2# The second rule of the bad boy's club is, you DO NOT talk about our club
3# If the girl says stop, goes limp, and doesn't want it, it's over
4# Two people to a bed, not three
5# One girl at a time
6# No shoes, no clothes
7# You will go on as long as you have to
8# If this if your first time at the club, it is your obligation to get some
I snickered. Ironically the reference to Fight Club was humorous. But the tears that threatened to fall weren't. Blinking back silent tears I stared wide-eyed at it, disturbed. I was the one who had gotten played and it was my entire fault.
"Luna?" His voice came in a smooth whisper. I turned around to find him there, standing speechless as he saw my tears. "It's all my fault, I should never have trusted you!" Fighting the urge to scream I ran in the opposite direction, ignoring his pleas and frantic footsteps. I ran and ran, never stopping, until I slumped down a tree, endlessly crying that I had fallen for his trap.
After all, it was the bad boy's code. And you know what they say about bad boy's.
You can never trust them...
