it
personally.
    The class went
quickly and, to my surprise, Taylor was waiting for me in the hallway at the
end.
    “I really need
your help this weekend,” she said.
    She didn’t look
around at all. She just stared at me.
    “I can help you,
but maybe you better let your mother know that you can’t do this class.”
    “We’re in the
second semester already. I can’t drop it now.”
    I nodded. She was
right. “That sucks. Okay. We’ll set aside some time this weekend.”
    “Thank, Dylan.”
    She flitted away.
I watched her for a moment, and then I realized Cole was walking the other way.
He glanced at Taylor as she went by, then at me. He shook his head.
    “Nothing’s going
on, Cole. She asked for math help.”
    “That’s how it
starts. Haven’t you seen any teen movies? That’s how it starts.”
    “We live in the
same house and I doubt that Mr. Dean would appreciate me doing his daughter
right under his nose. He’d kick me out and I don’t want that to happen.”
    “Keep that in
mind, sport.”
    I would. I owed
Mr. Dean a lot. Fucking his daughter would be the last thing I should do.
Besides, she wasn’t interested in me and wasn’t my type. No worries. We could
probably be practically naked and I wouldn’t be interested in her.
    Cole slapped me on
the back. “I got class. Hey, I’m getting some friends together on Saturday.
Come by my house about eight. We’ll hang out. Play some video games.”
    “Sure. Sounds
good.”
    My weekend was
wide open, after all. No dates. No parties, but really there never were.
    ***
    I stopped in the
men’s room before my last class. I’d waited all day. I was in there alone,
thankfully. Using the urinal then washed my hands. That’s when I saw it.
    I’d been thinking
about what Cole had said about Taylor. She’d been on my mind all day, and I
hoped I could help her.
    Written on the
wall were the words: “Taylor Dean is a slut.”
    I didn’t think she
was. Cole had said she was a cock tease. That usually meant that she was
virgin. So how could she be a slut?
    Someone came in
and I took my time washing my hands. I’d be late for my next class, but that
was fine.
    “Hey,” the person
said as they washed their hands.
    “Hey.”
    That guy left as
the bell rang. Shit, I was going to be really late for class. I dug into my
backpack for a marker. I couldn’t let that sit there. I’d never had a sister,
but I wouldn’t want someone to say that about her if I did.
    She wasn’t and
even if she was, it wasn’t up to someone else to make that judgment. I knew
what it felt like to be on the receiving end of judgment. Most people thought
things of me that weren’t true. I knew that I’d never overcome my reputation in
this school, but no need to drag Taylor down.
    I found the
marker. Uncapping it, I began to cover it up.
    The door swung
open. I jumped and probably looked guilty.
    “What are you
doing?”
    The newcomer
looked from me to the marker and then to the wall. I had covered a good portion
of it by then. “You should be in class and not in the bathroom.”
    The man grabbed my
arm and dragged me out of there.
    “I was just-”
    “Save it. We’re
going to Principal Elliot’s office.”
    I didn’t know this
guy, but I had a feeling he knew who I was. Principal Elliot certainly knew who
I was. Sadly, I’d get no leniency from him, even if it had been months since
I’d been in to see him.
    I was able to snag
my backpack before I was pulled into the hallway.
    “I don’t know what
you kids are thinking when you do stuff like that.”
    He hadn’t let go
of my arm. He was going to bruise it, but I sucked it up. I wasn’t going to
whine. I just followed him to my punishment. It wouldn’t be my first.
    The teacher
dropped me onto a chair in the outer office. “Wait here.” Then he turned to the
secretary and asked, “Is he in?”
    “Go ahead.”
    She waved her hand
without looking up. When she did look up, she frowned at me. “Haven’t seen you
in
