This is my very first attempt at writing anything. This is completely fictional, just a fantasy of mine. I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks a bunch. <3
"If you want me to keep your secret, take you pants off," Matt's deep voice whispers huskily.
If only. If only I hadn't slipped up. If only I hadn't done it. If only I had more faith in my abilities, I would not be in the situation I was in now. I can feel the tears well up in my eyes as I reach for my belt. Why me? Why is this happening to me. As slowly as possible I undo, and lower my pants. I stand there before Matt in my underwear shame heating my face. I can feel Matt press up against my body. His hot breath on my neck. His lips brush my ear and I cringe in disgust.
"Let me watch you masturbate." His voice although strangely alluring, possibly even kind, leaves no room for argument.
I was stupid. So so stupid for being caught.
I attend a private college on a full ride scholarship. A scholarship that only lasts as long as I score in the top 2% on each and every exam. I was fine my freshman year, but now in my second year of college my grades are starting to slip.
I knew I was really at jeopardy when my guidance counselor called me into his office.
"Nathan, your grades are still very good, but if you want to keep your scholarship you need to bring your grades up further. I really can't understand why they have been slipping. Is everything alright? Anything I can help you with?"
My guidance counselor Mr. Douglas has always been very kind to me. But he couldn't do anything for me. If I didn't get the top score on the next test, later this week I would have to drop out. I have no idea what I can possibly do, I'm at a loss. I spend all my limited free time studying. I don't party, or dick around and my grades are still slipping. Maybe it's stress, too bad I can't afford to relax.
I stand up and step back from Mr. Douglas's desk, intending to take my leave in order to make it to my next class. As I stand I bump into something hard behind me. I go still, completely shocked, and then whip around. Standing right behind me is Matt.
Matt just might be one of the most popular guys in school. His parents are filthy rich alumni form this school making donations regularly. Matt has his entire tuition paid for. He is known for being a "really chill dude." Not to mention most of the female student body is completely infatuated with Matt. Matt is the stereotypical golden boy. He is tall, powerfully built, angular, even with his bleached hair and earrings he looks decidedly manly. The exact opposite of me. Matt has it all just given to him. He doesn't have to worry about anything. I cringe in shock. My resentment towards Matt surprises me. We may be from completely different worlds, but from all accounts Matt isn't such a bad guy.
"You were looking for me," Matt says. I know he is addressing Mr. Douglas, but he is staring right into my eyes. Odd. I know someone like me would never have even registered on Matt's radar. I feel myself begin to panic. It's a reflex from being bullied almost my entire life. I bow my head breaking eye contact.
"Ah, yes Mr. Hatfield. Just a moment please, Nathan and I here were in the middle of a conversation," Mr. Douglas smiles up at Matt, but there is a hardness in his eyes I have never seen before. Agreeable, affable Mr. Douglas doesn't like Matt.
"'kay," Matt says lazily dropping into the other seat across from Mr. Douglas and slipping his ear buds into his ears.
Shaking his head in disapproval Mr. Douglas turns back to me, "So Nathan," Mr. Douglas begins, but I cut him off.
"Please, don't worry. Next test I will get the top score for sure," I say with a small sheepish smile, "I have to get to class now, it was nice talking to you Mr. Douglas."
I turn around and make my way quickly out of his office.
I hear him say, "Good luck," and I turn around to thank him, and notice Matt staring after me. The intensity in his eyes as he meets my eyes unnerves me. I hurry out of the counseling office building and make my way quickly to the finance and business building.
Once inside I make my way to the bathroom before class to settle myself. I drop my backpack onto the floor, remove my glasses and lean over the sink splashing cold water onto my face. I grab a handful of towels and scrub my face dry. Slipping my glasses back on I stare at my reflection. Plain brown eyes, almost hidden by my unruly black hair that I've let get much too long. My lean, almost girlishly slim frame has always bothered me. I run, and have a little muscle, but I've never been able to bulk up. Not to mention that I'm short at 5'7". I've always been nerdy, so I've never had many friends, and now that I've been in college I haven't made any at all. Of course I wouldn't have been noticed by someone like Matt Hatfield. I shouldn't have been. My world, hell my entire existence is completely different from Matt's. Even though Matt seems by all accounts to be a nice guy he still looks like one of those guys who has fun pushing around small weaklings like myself, and I'm hoping with all hope, that I haven't registered on his radar. I shake off thoughts of Matt and pick up my bag, slipping out of the restroom and into class.
I stare down at my notes, quickly scribbling down emergency flash cards. I've been in the library for hours, determined to get a fantastic score on the next test. I have developed a serious headache, and my eyes are constantly watering. I'm already tired, but I can't rest. I only have 42 hours to go through and completely absorb a semester's worth of information. I'm so engrossed in my studying that I don't notice the large group that has entered the library chattering noisily. I can't put my finger on what but something snaps me out of my reverie. I rub my right eye and glance around. The library is pretty much empty at this late hour, but this group has picked a table very close to my own.
I glance at them, and look back down at my notes. I freeze, and slowly turn back to look at them. Matt is sitting in the middle of the group laughing and chattering away with his friends. I quickly turn back around, sliding my glasses back up my sweaty nose. Now overly aware of the group, Matt in particular I can hear everything that they are saying.
A distinctly girlish voice is whining.
"AW Matty! That is terrible. You have to pass this next test! What will we do if you fail! We're supposed to be together until graduation!"
"I know man, if your grades were so bad you could've let me know, I would have helped you out," a deep masculine voice half shouts.
Then Matt speaks, his distinctive voice making the small hairs on the back of my neck stand up. "Hey guys, don't worry about me. I'll be fine. My cousin has offered to tutor me, And for Friday's test all I have to do is make a cheat sheet." I hadn't known Matt was in my economics class. Strange.
His friends all laugh, congratulating him on his plan. But my head is already swimming. Tuning them out again. Cheat sheet, the thought had never occurred to me because if I got caught with a cheat sheet I'd in worse trouble than if I had just failed. But there was so many things that I was worried about. What if I forgot this equation? What if I don't correctly remember this term? I scoop up my things and shove them into my back-pack. I'm worried about the direction my thoughts are veering to. I head back to my dorm room.
