It was half way through our senior year when Janet transferred to our school. An unusual thing to happen and it was bound to make her senior year harder but these things happen. Her father had been transferred and where her parents went, Janet went.
It immediately became obvious that she had several things going for her. For a start she was a blonde with terrific hair. She also had the blue eyes and sensational body that you want all blondes to have. A creamy complexion and facial features that would be the envy of a Playboy girl.
To add to her obvious physical attributes she had a voice that sound with the clarity of tinkling silver bells, a sparkling personality, and a genuine warmth for all. To meet her was to love her. One would feel like an absolute heel if you were to disappoint her.
She was immediately immensely popular with all members of both sexes. The boys all liked her because they hoped as a new girl she would be looking for a new boyfriend, and even though disappointed when she refused to latch onto anyone they lived in hope. Me included.
The girls liked her because, even though she was new, she didn't try to poach their boyfriends, treating all the boys as casual friends. A couple of the cruder boys hinted that she might be a lesbian but I didn't think so. I knew one of the other girls was a genuine lesbian and Janet just treated her in the same way she treated everyone else.
Janet very quickly became the reigning queen bee, not through any effort of her own but because everyone else just automatically elevated her to that spot.
Now you would think that this sudden usurping of the queen bee position by a newcomer would get up the nose of the previous queen bee, but it didn't happen. Carla just accepted the change without the slightest hint of resentment. That was the one thing that surprised me about the whole situation. I'd always considered Carla to be queen bitch, with a malice and viciousness that would have done a scorpion proud. Instead of plotting to destroy Janet they became friends.
At this stage I was between girlfriends. Well, that statement might be stretching the truth a little. I was looking for my first steady girlfriend. As far as I was concerned me without a girlfriend and Janet without a boyfriend meant we were made for each other. I invited her out within a couple of days of meeting her. I've also been inviting her out quite regularly since. It was really quite astonishing the number of ways that Janet could smile and say no and not offend you. I lived in hope.
A little about myself. I was eighteen, the same age as Carla and Janet. Carla I'd known for ages, never gone out with her, and never intended to go out with her. Sure, she had a figure that was every bit as good as Janet's but her personality! I'd seen too many instances of her bad side to want to get involved. I was also quite intelligent, an extremely skilled chess player, and did acrobatics to keep myself fit. I wasn't all muscles like the guys on the football team but I was strong and lithe. Quite frankly if it came to a fight between me and any of the muscle-heads on the team I'd put my money on me to win. I'm also told that I have a very strange sense of humour. I don't know about that. I just know I can find the funny side of most situations.
One of the things that I found amusing was the way Janet kept turning me down for a date. After the first couple of rejections I started noting down all the reasons she gave me for not being able to go out with me on any particular occasion. That finally got me my first win with her.
I'd just asked Janet out for the umpteenth time and she smiled sweetly and said. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'd like to but my Aunt Agatha will be calling us via Skype that evening and my mother insists that I be there to say hullo."
"Hold on," I said quickly. "That won't wash. You already used that excuse about three weeks ago. See."
I whipped my little notebook out of my pocket, flicking through the pages to show her the Aunt Agatha/Skype entry.
Janet took the notebook of me, flicking through the pages to see the various excuses listed therein. Without saying a word she handed the notebook back to me and walked away, shaking her head and giggling. Hey, I made her laugh. I was half way to getting a date.
I hadn't noticed but Carla had watched that little exchange with some interest. She fell into step beside me as I headed home later.
"I see Janet turned you down again," she said, oozing sympathetically.
"That she did," I agreed.
"That's a pity. I'm sure you'd be great together. Maybe I can help."
By great together Carla meant that Janet would be dating a non-entity (me, as far as Carla was concerned) which would take her out of the running for other men and diminish her social standing, leaving Carla back on top of the pile.
Maybe it was just me but my paranoia kicked up a notch. Any time that Carla wanted to help someone the person she wanted to help was always herself. This I had to take carefully or she'd come gunning for me.
"And just how would you go about helping?" I asked.
"Would I be correct in saying that you wouldn't kick Janet out of your bed if you found her there?"
"I think you could say that would be the case," I agreed. "The trick is getting her there."
"Well, if you were to come over to my place on Saturday night you'll find that Janet is staying the night. My parents won't be home and Janet has agreed to keep me company. If you were to drop by I wouldn't get in your road."
"That's nice but I'm still left with the problem of persuading Janet into my bed, or to let me into hers in this instance."
Carla had a very nasty smile on her face at this point.
"Who said anything about persuading her?" she asked. "If you don't ask her but just grab her there's nothing much she can do about it. If she complains afterwards I'll just tell her that I'm a witness to the fact that she agreed. She won't dare make a formal complaint."
Carla, you might have gathered, didn't have a very high opinion of men, regarding us little better than animals. The fact that I might not want to rape Janet never entered her mind.
"Are you saying you intend to watch it happen?" I asked, suspecting that she did.
"Of course," she said with a giggle. "I'm going to love seeing that bitch get a cock rammed up her. I hope she squeals like a stuck pig. I may even film it. Well, are you in or do I have to get someone else?"
"I'm in," I agreed, "but no camera. You're not getting me on film."
