Friday

On Friday morning I got a text.

Douche: Hope you learned something yesterday.

Douche: We have another party tonight, I'd like you to attend.

Going to another of those frat parties seemed like a capital B bad idea. Yet I had promised him an hour every day. I briefly thought of using my veto, but my pride won out. I would face him on his turf and win!

Me: Just. One. Hour.

Douche: Copy that :)

That night I was back at the frat house. I had vowed never to return, yet here I was. I would just have to stay for one hour, and then I would be done. Hang out in the living room. Don't fall for any of his little trick. Easy.

Brandon met me at the door. As we entered the living room I immediately realized my mistake. There in one corner, trying to pick up a girl, was Jamie's roommate Tyler. If he saw me he would certainly tell Jamie, and then I would be in big trouble. I panicked. The smart thing to do would be to simply turn around and get out of the house. Instead I ran for the closest exit I could see, the stairs. {if followed=true}For the second time{else}For the first time{endif} I found myself on the second floor of the frat house{if followed=true}, except this time{else}I had resisted the temptation to follow Brandon up here the last time. Now{endif} I had gone up entirely on my own volition. Turning around I saw Brandon running up the stair. catching up with me.

"Couldn't wait to come up here, could you?"

"Jamie's roommate is down there. I can't let him see me."

Brandon looked thoughtful, and for a terrifying moment I was afraid he might sell me out.

"I guess we just have to stay up here for an hour then," he said smiling at me. "Want me to get you a beer?"

"No thanks," I replied. I didn't want anything to impair my judgment this night.

"Suit yourself," he shrugged. "Wait for me while I get one then."

He disappeared, leaving me alone. Standing there I became aware of noises coming from the door to my right. Grunts, muffled moans, a bed creaking. Someone was having sex in there. I resolved to leave them be when I noticed the door was ajar. I really shouldn't peek.
