There is a small but dense coppice of woodland adjacent to the school grounds. One summer's day, years ago when I first started school, a teacher thought she spied a man hidden there with his trousers around his knees and something in his hand, watching the girls doing their PE class on the sports field. The police set a trap and caught him a couple of days later. It caused quite a stink in the community when it was revealed that the culprit was one of our most respected church elders. I was too young to understand what it was all about, but four children suddenly left the school and their family moved out of the district. I learned years later, from Danny's mother, who 'knew everything'; the school would not lay any charges and this was the deal to avoid the man going to jail.
My resolve to make friends again with Danny got a jolt when I saw him and Mel disappearing into the same trees one school lunchtime. Apart from upsetting me, she was playing a dangerous game if one of the teachers saw them as well. In an Adventist school, all the teachers were of the faith. I didn't follow, feeling that I would be crushed by what I would find. Mel got the 'Ice Man' treatment that evening though.
It just happened to be church governance night and Mel, as usual came to my room. The daylight was starting to last well into the evenings now and we didn't need the flashlight any more.
I lay stiffly on the bed, feeling rotten for doing it, but ignoring all Mel's efforts to be friendly. Eventually, she gave up and started to leave. She paused in the doorway and snapped, "You don't own me you know!"
"You must think I'm just an amusing toy!" I snarled back. "Be nice to Joel one minute, then kick him in the nuts the next!"
"Oh, grow up Joel! We didn't do anything! Not what you're thinking anyway!"
"Yeah, sez you!"
"I'm on my period, nitwit!"
That revelation put me on the back foot. But I could not let things alone, "So, you and Danny did nothing at all then?"
"Well…" Mel wouldn't look at me. "I did make him cum with my hand…I was hoping to do the same with you…"
That shot me down in flames. I was now in the position of having to beg.
"Oh, blow it, Mel! I'm an idiot!"
"Yes you are!"
"Will it help if I grovel?"
"It might…oh, don't bother. D'you want me back?"
"Yes please."
She didn't jack me off; well, at first she didn't. All we did was cuddle. She said I couldn't touch her because her boobs were too sore and she had a woozy tummy. I told Mel that if it couldn't be reciprocal, I didn't think it was fair to expect her to help me out. She didn't respond to that one for a long while. And when she did, it was with a nudge from her nose on my neck.
"We've just gotta sort something out," I muttered. "Seeing Danny by yourself is too dangerous. Not just if you get caught; he's too much of a wildcard."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, what did he do to you a couple of weeks back?"
Mel gripped my prick briefly; yeah, I had a hard-on! "And you're not dangerous, brother of mine?"
"Gotcha!" I admitted.
"What are you suggesting? That I only see Danny when you're around?"
"Something like that."
"Could you sit back and watch him touch me, and me do things to him, without you being involved?"
