I barged into my room, bolted the door open and skipped toward the third door to the bathroom. The urge to stand under cold water multiplied the longer I breathed in the same room as her. She was dressed in a flimsy blouse and low-waist pants, I had never seen her dressed immodestly. She wore necklines that put nuns to shame.

I had an image to keep up, If my brother ever realized of this meeting, he would dig my grave with his own hands and still play besties with him. Deep inside I knew this wasn't a coincidence but a far-sighted plan executed by my friends. Waves of shame engulfed me in intervals with greater intensities as I realized how big of a role, I've played in this misconduct.
