A few days later (alt)

(This is adapted from the main "A few days later" chapter - I tried putting it in a different direction.)

Jessica's first few days at her new school had been crazy. So much had happened that it was difficult to comprehend. In fact, she was tired of all of it and wanted today to be just a normal day without any incidents or undue attention.

She had put on baggy clothes this morning and tried to stay as anonymous as possible while playing loud music in her air pods on the way to school.

Her first class of the day was home room, and she once again found the classroom to be dark when she entered, and the teacher had already started playing a movie. Her friend from before, Dylan, seemed to have been waiting for her and was waving enthusiastically for her to sit down next to him. She didn't see any other free places, and sauntered over to her friend.

"Hey!" he whispered as she sat down, pulling her air pods out.

"Hey!" she whispered back.

"I almost didn't recognize you with so many clothes," Dylan grinned.

Jess blushed and carefully put her bag down next to her.

"What are we watching today?" she asked.

"Oh, just some old war movie," her friend explained.

Then they sat in silence for a few minutes, watching a shooting sequence.

"Remember what you promised last time?" Dylan asked as the action on the screen toned down.

Jess swallowed nervously.

"Yeah, about that…" she started.

"I knew you were going to back out," he said in disappointment. "It's okay, though. I just shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. It's just that after last time, I was really hoping for something in return, you know."

"I wasn't thinking about backing out," Jess lied. She was such a pushover and couldn't stand to let the boy down. "I was just thinking that maybe it's a bit risky to do it here."

Dylan's face lit up when she denied having second thoughts.

"Look around you," he told her, gesturing for her to survey the classroom. "Everyone's busy. Either they're watching their phone, the movie or they're sleeping."

She looked around the classroom and saw that he was right.

"No one is going to pay attention to what is happening in the back here," her friend continued.

"I guess you're right," she agreed, feeling her heart rate rising as it dawned on her that she was actually about to do this. "I'll go... suck your dick," her voice lowered even more at those last three words.

"I actually have a better idea," Dylan started correcting her.

"Ohh??" Jessica was curious but apprehensive.

"I was thinking maybe you should, you know, cuddle with me instead."

That was odd. Cuddling? That didn't seem so bad!

"That sounds like a great idea!" Jessica beamed, lucky to have such a reprieve.

"Yeah, nice and romantic for the movie, you know?" Dylan piled on the cheese, "How about you come and sit on my lap?"

Almost excited, Jessica got up and sat on Dylan's lap, her right side burrowing into him as she put her head onto his cheek and wrapped her arms around him. Dylan, likewise, wrapped his arms around Jessica,

"Umm, Jessica?" Dylan asked Jessica with a mischievous grin.

"Yeah?"

"I don't want to feel your clothes in my arms. I want to feel you."

Jessica's heart dropped as she realized what Dylan had wanted this whole time.
