This boy next to my room

24

Connor

I quickly clutch a cup of vodka before heading to Cynthia's bed. I made the decision to come only because there was alcohol. I have no desire to play this closet game, it's for virgins who dream of fucking in a closet. Childish. There must be a dozen people in this room who want to play this shit.

In all honesty, I would still rather brush my teeth with the green-eyed bitch without talking to each other.

"This night is going to be incredibly hot and the reason you came here is because of that! So I don't want you to hold back." Says Cynthia as she raises her glass in the air. Everyone nods and does the same.

"They haven't started yet, come on." I hear from the end of the room, towards the door. My gaze drifts back to it and I see two pairs of thighs. I look up and realize it's Kathy and June. What are they doing here?

"Oh.. Kat and the grinch! What a nice surprise we were about to start." Provokes Cynthia.

They are both dressed in shorts. And I can see from June's build that she is not very comfortable. I don't know if it's because Cynthia called her a grinch or because of her clothes, though. As I scan her, our eyes meet indirectly.

She quickly looks away before moving forward to sit across from us. My eyes refuse to leave her. I've never seen her dress this way even though it's not crazy, but for some time now she has stopped wearing jogging suits. She is letting loose a lot more often. It's cool huh, but maybe there's a reason behind it.

Her eyes scan the whole room without obviously going through me. It annoys me a little I must admit. They stop on someone sitting on the floor. I look down too, towards the person concerned and I'm not surprised to discover that it is Tyler.

Does she likes him ?

They've been looking at each other since he arrived at the reformatory.

No, she doesn't like him. She already has a boyfriend, I think.

But you should never trust girls too much, they are all equally capable of cheating.

I know very well what I am saying.

"Let's get started! Who wants to draw the names in the hat?" Asks my sex partner.

"I do!" Said Tyler as he approached the hat.

He puts his hand inside it and waves it around to create some mystery I guess. I think my name is on it, but either way, if I'm drawn I'm going to refuse. I'm not a desperate virgin, I've got Cynthia to kick around and that's enough.

After several seconds of denial, he takes out two labels. He unfolds them slowly which makes people get angry and say 'hurry up' or 'we don't have all your time Tyler'. Once he finally unfolds them he straightens up and clears his throat before speaking.

"The two lucky people are Cynthia and... Brody!" He writes to himself.

And strangely no one reacts. I arch an eyebrow then follow the path my buddy's eyes take. Ah shit, Brody is in a relationship with Kathy right? Tensions are about to start I think.

"Uh.. No, I can't.. I" Brody stutters.

"It's okay, go ahead. I trust you." Replies Kathy with a confident look.

I totally want to laugh. Trusting him ? That's like giving him a gun pointed straight at his enemies heart and asking him not to shoot.

I know this guy pretty well and I know he's been around a lot of girls behind the saint's back. She's the only one who doesn't seem to have realized it. It's really sad.

Brody hesitates for a moment, or rather, I correct, pretends to hesitate before getting up to enter the dressing with Cynthia, who looks bored. Once they are inside, they close the door and I activate the timer. We have no way of knowing what's going on inside, maybe they're kissing, maybe they're chatting or maybe they're fucking. We don't know.

Seven minutes later, I tell them to get out and they do. I take one look at them and I don't feel like anything crazy has happened. They look serene and calm.

"Okkk.. Well...well who's to shoot now?" Tyler asks.

The next round two more people are drawn. We do four games in a row before there are not many labels left.

And I'm really getting bored so I keep drinking.

"I do." Cynthia replies. She bends down and puts both her hands in the hat, she then lifts them up with two tags. "So. This is... June" All of my attention focuses on her again. She looks intrigued. "June and Connor."

And strangely, the urge to play this virgin game came over me.
