Early to rise.
Monica Gift left her home on her way to school. Each day she walked the seven blocks there and seven back. She loved the exercise and it gave her time to think. Now more so than ever. Since the events of last Friday she had altered her perception of what she wanted. Her thrill seeking attitude was gnawing at all the right places to do all the wrong things. Her exhibitionist wiles were always on the radar for a chance to attract attention. Even at the risk of getting into trouble. Without the risk there certainly wasn't satisfaction.
Today, her neighbor "Ryan" had noted her departure from home and waited just long enough to not look obvious. He drove his recently purchased beater with a heater from his backyard parking spot and came out through his alley way right in front of Monica.
He hadn't seen her since the Friday delivery, after he and his two friends were treated to her body. Between schoolwork and his pizza delivery job he kept scarce the following two days. Not to mention his guilt over taking her so easily in her own living room. He and his friends. Not that she put up any real fight he just knew it wasn't what she had intended to happen. His ego got the best of him and now his nerves were paying for it.
He had adored Monica for the last two years but had never chanced getting too close. Even though she had a nerdy side to her she was drop dead gorgeous. Not too mention she kept to herself mostly. She had very few friends, yet nobody teased her or put her down for it. Even though they only shared a single class he always noticed her in the hall or over lunch. Always by herself. Guy's would get close to her then back off for some reason. She would never let anyone know her well. To his knowledge she had only been with one boy. Although in reality it had been two. Her first panicked after taking her virginity. Too much blood made him queasy. She never dated him again.
Tooting his car horn at her he nodded with his window rolled down, "Hey Stranger. Want a ride to school?"
Monica held her books to her chest while walking toward him.
"Hey Ryan. No. It's beautiful out. I'll walk."
He idles his car as she steps closer. His heart sank suddenly, "Are you mad at me for what happened last week?"
"Not at all. I took the risk letting you guys in. I told you I knew you three watched me through my bedroom window dozens of times. If I didn't like teasing you guys I would never have let you inside."
"Yeah, but the teasing went further than you wanted. You said so yourself."
"Don't get me wrong I love sex. I just hadn't planned on having any that night. It was me testing myself to see if I could tease you up close in person."
"Right. I know I loved it."
She blushes, "I could tell. You are a good kisser by the way."
"Thanks. I've wanted to kiss you like forever. Among other things obviously."
"Well, you succeeded. So did Holden and Shane. I'm shocked you're not jealous of them." She sticks her tongue out at him.
"I don't own you. I just hope you still like teasing us after that stunt."
"Oh, I'll never stop teasing. Just keep in mind to ask next time if you want more than that. And, no means no. Okay?"
"That's fine. We're going to be late for first bell. Sure you don't want a lift?"
Fidgeting she agrees and shuffles around to the passenger side and hops in beside him.
"So, what makes you like showing off your body so much?" He had to know as he drove.
She smirks, "Inner slut I guess. I just get off on guys watching me. Wanting me. But, it being my decision how far I take things. That's why I say no means no."
"I get that. I think it's safe to say I would love more." He nervously chuckles trying to be suave.
"I'm not against more Ryan. Just don't rush me. I love my freedom in every way. Now, if you guys are still interested in helping me now and then to keep me out of trouble I'm definitely up for that."
"Hell yeah! Anything you want we will back you up. I have an idea if you want to hear it."
"All ears." She beams.
"You should let us dare you. It can be a fun game if planned well."
"Dare me? To do things? Maybe." Her curiosity was piqued.
"Can I ask you another question?"
"Sure. Just ask I won't not answer you."
"How far do you want to go?"
"Until my nerves tell me to stop. I'm becoming more and more fearless. But, I can't get into trouble. My parents, well my Mom would kill me. Dad? He's a little more open minded. I'm glad they give me lots of space. They're so social it's unreal. Community service. Country club. Work events. You name it."
"Too bad there's a dress code at school. I bet you look awesome in a dress."
"I know I do." She giggles, "But, I don't think dresses are outlawed in school. Only the really short ones maybe. Which I own."
"Want a dare right this minute?" He darts his gaze back and forth from the street as he nears the school zone.
