*Act One*
__Prince in wolf's clothing__
Brayden Bishop is a prince at our school.
At the elite academy known as Princeton Prep, every high schooler knows his name, his face, and even his schedule. Most people here come from well off families, many students holding the title 'rich', but even to them Brayden is on a whole different scale.
He is charismatic, a top student, and has the looks that could easily land him a job modeling. He has my ideal body type: tall, well built with nice muscle tone, not overly bulky but noticeable enough that every shirt fits him like it was sewn for him. I can't help but be envious, myself standing at 5'6 with a small, slender frame. He has thick blonde hair that covers to the back of his neck, his normal style with it pushed back up off his forehead, leaving the longer front strands falling to touch his ears. He is a jewel in the eyes of every girl, and a goal in the eyes of all the guys.
I was the same. Caught up in his aura like everyone else and respecting him for holding a spot light I could never dream of standing in.
That is... until that day in the bathroom.
Third period, I had excused myself from class and headed to the normal 1st level bathroom, but I'd spotted the cleaning lady and had decided the 2nd floor bathroom would have to do. This bathroom was not as updated as the others and was out of the way for most classes, so students didn't bother with it.
Once I got there, I ran into a scene that I'd not expected.
I was already in the process of undoing my belt when giggling erupted from the last stall.
"Someone's in here." I startled as a girl's harsh whisper filled the narrow room.
"Is that a problem?" A guy's voice followed hers.
Then the stall door opened and out the two came. A girl was being held up by a guy, her legs wrapped around his waist. I recognized Brayden in a heartbeat, his icy blue gaze daring me to speak as he glanced over at me.
My eyes shot down to the urinal. I couldn't take back looking at them, but I could pretend I didn't see anything.
"Now you've got us caught," the girl said, but her voice didn't reflect a hint of worry or embarrassment.
"Just give me one more kiss and I'll let you go." Brayden's low voice beckoned her.
I wanted to disappear from there, but at the same time my eyes were drawn back to them. She was still wrapped around him, their lips now connected, but as he kissed her his gazed once more flicked over to me. My face flamed, and I whipped my head back around to stare ahead at the wall.
What was I getting so embarrassed about? I'd seen people kiss, and yet my heartbeat would argue that fact.
I told myself to go ahead with my business, but I couldn't bring myself to do so. Not in front of some random girl. I wouldn't call myself a gentleman, but that was beyond me.
I heard her feet touch the tile, and she continued to giggle as she walked past me and out of the door. I felt relieved, at least until Brayden came over to stand beside me.
"Am I interrupting you?" he asked.
I felt a chill go down my spine. His voice didn't sound angry, but I had just walked in on him in the middle of something.
"No, I− um. Sorry." I sputtered.
He leaned against the wall with his elbow, his body turned to face mine. "Don't apologize. I guess you weren't expecting a show in the restroom."
I tried to laugh, but I wasn't sure if the sound made it out of my throat.
"Your face is awful red." His voice held amusement as he leaned his head down towards me. "You're in my art class. Riley, right? I've seen you look at me quite a bit. Tell me, maybe you're wanting me to kiss you too?"
My eyes grew wide in shock. What was he saying?
