Warning:**Self-harm Onpage**
Taking off into the cafeteria, my feet move quickly trying to get as far away as possible from Hayes. I don’t like the pull he has on me. I’m not supposed to be getting close to any boys around here. One, my parents would have a field day, but fuck. The way he gripped my wrist, and the electric current that flew up my arm and into my chest, it made me want to get on my knees and beg for him to touch me. I’m not the submissive type, though, and that’s the shocking part. Just stay away from him and you will be fine.
“Liv, slow down,” Sydney says, grabbing a hold of my arm. I stop abruptly, forgetting that she and Kendall were behind me. See, this is what I mean. Hayes Valentine is a distraction and I’ve only just fucking met him. I can’t have this. I need to stay focused so I can go back to my old life.
“I’m fine. I just don’t like him.” I say, the lie slipping off the tongue so naturally.
“Interesting. All the girls want a piece of him. I mean, not us, but the rest of the female student body all love them some Hayes Valentine.” She says, but I shake my head, wanting to clarify that I’m not like these puck bunnies.
“I’m not a fucking puck bunny, nor will I ever be. He’s really not that attractive.” I lie again and she rolls her eyes at me. Kendall looks at the both of us and sighs.
“I’m going tonight. I love to party but I love pissing Lucius off more, so will the two of you please come with me. I don’t want to show up alone.” She says, pouting at us. I love that she makes me feel so welcomed into their little circle. I think I might like this place after all.
“Can I eat first before deciding on tonight’s events? Ugh. I know they throw good parties, but I cannot stand the hockey team.” She says, and I nod in agreement.
“Let’s get our grub on ladies.” I smile.
We stand in line for what seems like forever. Once we have our food, we find a table and park our asses and eat.
“Sooo, are y’all in for tonight? Please, please, please.” Kendall begs us and I groan.
“What are the rules? What are we wearing? They better have good music and drinks because I cannot just sit around crocheting.” I laugh at my own jokes. It’s pretty pathetic, but Syd joins in, too.
“Same girl. I need to be a bit toasted in order to deal with that entire crowd. Especially Parker.” She sighs.
“It’s a black light party. We have to paint our bodies with the paint. No clothes.” She giggles.
“Ummm, what?!” I say, completely taken aback by what the fuck just came out of her mouth. “I’m not skinny like you ladies. I’m not going completely naked to a fucking party with people I don’t even know.” I spit and they laugh.
“Girl, your body is bangin’ and we wear our panties, just no bra. Other girls wear lingerie sets as long as they are painted and glow in the light. The team never complains. Plus, they’re drunk majority of the time or off in the corners of the maze getting their dick sucked. Don’t worry.” Kendall says, making me feel a little better.
“Fine, I’ll go,” Sydney says and I sigh because I will not let them go alone and I shit for sure am not going to go back to my dorm alone. I’m in a new place and I should at least try to make some friends.
“Well, how long do we have to get ready for this shit?” I ask and they both laugh.
“About two hours. I have all the paint in my room at the sorority house.” Kendall says.
“Can we just get ready in your dorm room? It will be easier to walk to the party from here rather than the house. That fucking bridge terrifies me at night.” Syd complains.
“Hell yes. Wanna pregame too in your room?” Kendall asks, smiling at me as we take our trays and bring them to the trash.
“Yeah, I’m cool with that. What’s up with the bridge?” I ask, and Syd visibly shivers.
“In order to get to the sorority and fraternity house, we have to cross a bridge and I swear, late at night you can hear girls screaming in the distance when the wind picks up. The lights that illuminate along the bridge always flicker and sometimes go out. I’d rather sleep in the school than cross that bridge alone.” Syd says, as we walk out of the cafeteria and stop near the exit.
“Damn, this place is creepy as fuck. When I got off the bus and stepped through the gates, the atmosphere completely changed. It’s like the twilight zone except–” I start to say before a tall guy slams into the back of me, sending me stumbling into Kendall. I spin and narrow my eyes.
“Walk much, asshole?” I spit, looking up at him.
“I’m so sorry. Are you okay?” He rasps, looking sincere as far as I can tell, but damn, his eyes are gorgeous. Are all the guys here built like gods?
“I’m fine.” I say, wiping my hands down my skirt.
“What’s your name? I’m Knight.” He says, sticking his hand out.
“Knight? That’s your name?” I ask with a raised brow. “Liviana. I’m new here.” I say, placing my hand into his. He brings it up to his lips, giving it a kiss. Damn, he’s smooth. He chuckles as he lets go of my hand.
“No, it’s Xander, Xander Knight. It’s nice to meet you, Liviana. Welcome to St. Valentine’s.” He smirks, tucking a loose curl behind my ear.
“Nothing like slamming into the new girl to make a first impression.” I say, but Syd interrupts.
“We’ll meet you at your place in thirty.” She whispers, and I nod as I watch them exit through the doors. I turn back to look up at Xander who is already looking down at me.
“Maybe I didn’t have the balls to come over and introduce myself,” he says, taking a step closer to me. I swallow thickly at his proximity. His scent hits my nostrils and I want to moan at how good he smells. My eyes shutter closed for a second, as I lean back against the cold wall. He cages me in by putting both hands above my head.
“You’re gorgeous and I couldn’t take my eyes off of you as I watched you and your friends walk past me earlier.” He says, as his finger travels along my collarbone and up my neck.
“I don’t bite. Unless you ask me to.” I say, biting my bottom lip as he licks his, making me rub my thighs together. His bright green eyes burst with lust at my words and my breathing hitches. I pull at his blazer to bring him closer to me, but someone slams into him from the side, sending him flying through the exit doors.
“Knight! Move your ass and get the fuck away from her!” A gruff tone growls and I roll my fucking eyes so hard.
“What the fuck, Grinder? What is your problem?” Knight seethes, but I don’t get to hear the answer. Hayes shoves him out of the exit door as it slams in his wake. What in the actual fuck just happened?
Walking back to my room alone, chills crawl up my spine as if someone is watching me. I glance over my shoulder scanning the area but don’t see anyone looking in my direction. I let out a breath and climb the stairs to my floor. Girls are coming and going as they drink and get ready for tonight’s festivities. I roll my eyes and continue down the hall reaching my room. Sliding in my key, I turn it and swing the door open, stepping inside.
Turning the light on I shut the door behind me and lock it before walking to my closet and digging out my bag. Removing the small black bag from the zipper, I put it under my arm and grab a towel as I walk to the bathroom, turning the shower on. While I wait for the water to warm. I place the black bag on the sink and open it, taking the contents out. Looking at myself in the mirror I sigh. It’s the only way to feel better. Even at a new school you would think I’d be excited and not have the urge to cut, but here we are. The urge to do some damage screams at me so I strip out of my clothes, and lift the alcohol swab packet, ripping it open wiping the cotton against my inner thigh. Then I take the precision knife, twisting on a new blade and opening another swab wiping it across the blade. I take a deep shuddering breath as I bring the metal to my inner thigh and cut into my skin. I hiss at the burn and do it again–and again until I feel light headed. I count five slices and release the breath I was holding. I inhale and relief swims in my chest then I take my finger and swipe it across the blood that is pooling and I bring it to my lips and lick the crimson from my finger. I groan at my own taste, closing my eyes and swallowing the sweet and salty blood.
Taking another deep breath I step into the shower and do my thing, hurrying it up a bit. I want to be ready and have my kit put away before my new friends get here. Once out of the shower I brush on liquid bandaid making me bite my lip from the sting, then wrap a towel around my body. Walking to my closet, I look around and try to figure out what the hell I am going to wear tonight. The impulse to wear something fierce tonight is weighing heavily on my mind. Why the fuck do I want to show off for Hayes? Maybe I want to see Knight. Guess time will tell.
A couple of hours later, we are ready to head out. We’ve decided to stick with the theme of Valentine’s Day. Kendall is in nothing but paint. Red hearts cover her tits and a cupid arrow points down between her legs. She has absolutely no shame in her game. Syd is wearing a red nighty, with white hearts painted all over her chest. I put on a red thong with a garter belt, matching fishnet stockings and red nipple tassels. My hair is up tight in a ponytail with curls flowing down my tattooed covered back. Tonight, everyone will find out I’m covered in ink, especially my back. I have black and grey raven wings over my shoulder blades that end at the curve of my ass. Tattoos are therapy for me. When I can’t sleep, I would go get inked, or if I needed to feel something, I’d go sit in the chair for hours until I wasn’t numb anymore. It’s going to be hard living here without being able to do that, but at least I can cut to ease it all.
We walk through the deserted halls and out the exit doors towards the maze.
“Hey Liv, what happened with Knight after we dipped?” Syd asks, and I laugh.
“Just a little flirting. That boy is fucking hot, but of course, asshole Hayes ruined it all.” I huff as the cold air hits my skin, causing goosebumps to litter my naked flesh. “This place better have heat because fuck, it’s cold.” I say and the girls laugh.
“Don’t worry, Darlin’ it will be heated.” Kendall informs us.
“Wait, so you and Knight were in the hallway flirting and Hayes did what now?” Syd asks, and I sigh.
“He shoved Knight away and out the doors while telling him to get away from me. What the fuck is his problem?” I ask, and Syd just laughs.
“I’m not sure I’ve got an answer for that. Hayes isn’t a territorial or a possessive guy. He’s a fuckboy. So for him to do that, he must know something,” she says, and I halt.
“What do you mean, he knows something?” I ask, my anxiety sending a jolt straight to my chest. Could he know what I’ve done? Is my past coming to haunt me? No. There’s no way. My records are sealed.
“What I mean is, either Knight is a dick and he was being protective orrr…” She smirks and I raise a brow as we approach the two guys standing at the entrance of the maze.
“Or… what?” I say, putting my hands on my hips.
“Or… he likes you and doesn’t want someone else having you.” She says with a shrug and I can’t help but laugh.
“Ain’t no motherfucking way. The guy’s a tool. At least Knight had some swag and didn’t pull the ‘I’m Hayes Valentine. God of all gods card’.” I mock. They both laugh as we finally enter the maze and the warm air soothes my skin.
We find the bar after walking left, right, left, left, and right again. I’m sure I’ll get lost trying to leave this fucking place. Syd orders some jello shots and a round of tequila. Handing us both shots, I look around and really take in the scene. The hockey team did pretty damn good setting this up. The guys all have their faces painted like skulls with black eyes and white around the nose and mouth. It looks pretty badass and you can’t tell who is who in this type of light.
“Cheers to a good night! Now, let’s go shake our asses.” Syd says as we down our shots and head across the way to the dance floor.
We move our hips to the beat, grinding against one another. Kendall leaves us for a moment just to come back with drinks and more shots. Raising my hands in the air, I let the beat take over. Strong arms suddenly wrap around my waist, pressing his body against me as his hips move with mine. Kendall whispers to Syd, smirks at me with a wink and takes off as Parker comes up behind her. I close my eyes and get lost in the music as soft lips glide against my neck.
“Damn, Short Stack,” his familiar voice sends a shock through me. “I didn’t know all this was hiding under that uniform. You look sinful tonight,” he breathes into my ear. My body shivers at his words as I take another sip of my drink. His hands roam up my torso, pulling at my tassels as I grind my ass into him.
“You keep rubbing that sexy ass against my cock and you’re not going to like the outcome.” He growls, licking the shell of my ear. I raise my arm to run my fingers through his dark hair, pulling him deeper into the crook of my neck. He growls again, tugging at my tassels with one hand as his other snakes over my garter belt, snapping the fabric against my skin. I moan as he turns my face up towards him, pressing his lips against mine. He sucks my tongue into his mouth, flicking the tip when I feel the unexpected cold metal of his piercing. It sends flutters straight to my pussy. I try to deepen the kiss but he pulls away, running his nose along the column of my neck.
“Mmm, I’ll see you soon, Short Stack.” He groans, taking a step back as his warm body leaves mine. Spinning, I watch as he disappears into a sea of people. What the fuck? I look over to where Syd and Parker were dancing a minute ago, only to see them walking deeper into the maze. Looks like she caved for him after all.
Leaving the dancefloor, a hand grabs at my wrist spinning me back. I look up and see a painted skull face and narrow my eyes but notice it’s Knight. I could spot those bright green eyes from anywhere. He nods over towards one of the corners of the maze, pulling me along as I walk behind him.
Looking around, I see the fucktard that has me all worked up, making out with some blonde. Fucking asshole. Knight pulls me along and pushes me against the green hedges, once again caging me in like he did in the hallway.
“Sorry about earlier. Grinder can be a dickhead.” He says, gripping my hips. I look up at him and smile.
“Oh, I know. You don’t have to tell me twice. We gonna finish what we started earlier?” I ask, and his eyes once again blow with lust.
Bending down, he places a soft kiss against my lips, biting the bottom one as his hands slide over my hips to my ass, grabbing a handful.
“What do you want, Liv?” He asks, lust dripping in his tone, and I smirk.
“I want to soak your chin.” I purr, and he licks his lips.
“Right here? In front of everyone?” he asks and I laugh,
“Don’t be shy. No one is paying any attention to us.” I say as he looks around seeing that what I’m saying is true, but I know it’s not. I know for a fact Hayes is right behind us. I can feel his eyes burning into the back of Knight’s head. The pull to him is so strong it almost makes me want to go to him and beat the bitch he’s messing with, but two can play this game. “Can you make me cum with your tongue?” I groan, running my hands down his torso and over his hard cock. “If you’re a good boy, I’ll let you cum where you want.” I lie as he smiles wide. I knew my devious plan would work. It’s so fucking easy to manipulate a guy to get what you want. They’re all fucking idiots.
“Fuckk yes.” He replies, sliding to his knees. I grip the top of his head as he lifts one of my legs over his shoulder. He moves my silk thong to the side and I shove his face into my already soaked cunt. My eyes look over at Hayes who looks murderous as he forces little blondie to her knees. Checkmate fucker. I moan, pulling at my own tassels as Knight swirls his tongue over my clit, sinking two fingers into me. I grind against his face as I stare at Hayes, as he guides the bitch along his length. He winks at me and I blow him a kiss as Knight continues to lick, suck and bite my clit. I’m not sure if watching Hayes is getting me off, or Knight really is good at eating pussy, but I’m so fucking wet and close to drenching his face. I can’t tell if Hayes is enjoying this or plotting a murder; but for whatever reason, I fucking love every second that his gorgeous blue eyes are on me. It’s making my pulse sky rocket, my heart beats erratically in my chest and my body is set on fire. I’ve never had this type of reaction to someone I just met but fuck me, I don’t want it to stop. The high is addicting and I want more of it.
Gripping Knight’s hair tighter, I pull him further into me as I roll my hips. Hayes shakes his head, but I roll them harder and whimper as Knight picks up his pace with his tongue, adding another finger inside me.
“Fuck, your mouth feels so good.” I pant, rolling my hips faster as goosebumps riddle my flesh and my body starts to shake. Hayes’s eyes narrow and I wink, shivering as I cum all over Knight’s face. I close my eyes to ride the high and come down from my orgasm.
Catching my breath, I release Knight’s head and open my eyes, only to find Hayes gone. What the fuck? Where did he go?
Removing my leg from Knight’s shoulders, I grab his face and smile down at him.
“This was fun, but I gotta run. I owe you.” I laugh and walk away as he yells my name.
Time to get the fuck out of here and back to my dorm. That little show with Knight was not it for me and now I need to go get myself off, wishing it was Hayes setting my body on fire.
