Visitors.

Back in your room, you feel like you should’ve bought a punching bag because you REALLY need to hit something. Since you don’t have one, however, you get changed into your workout clothes and pick up the weights. You go through your regular routine, including pull ups in the wooden beams in the ceiling when you hear a knock on the door.

You go to it, panting heavily and see a couple of girls that are a sight for sore eyes. Emily has a scowl on her face while Megan looks extremely worried.

“Sorry… I forgot we had tutoring today. My bad…”

“Forget about that! David, what the hell happened!?” Emily snaps.

“Can we come in?” Megan asks.

You glance from one to the other, then nod. Both girls come inside and sit on your bed.

“So? Spill it! How did you get caught up in that?” Emily asks with arms crossed and a no-bullshit attitude.

“So you heard, huh?” You try to laugh it off, but you can’t.

“I doubt there’s anyone in the school who hasn’t heard.” Megan tells you and shows you that God dammed picture on her own phone. “Even I got it, and I couldn’t be further away from Olivia’s circle. Tell us what happened.”

You sigh and tell the short story for a second time.

“That’s what happened? Are you telling me I was right in thinking you were a loser who got pushed around and couldn’t stand up for himself?” Emily accuses you, gritting her teeth.

“Pretty much. Sorry to be a disappointment.” You tell her bluntly. “Now, if that’s all, why don’t you leave so I can wallow in my misery for 10 more minutes before I start figuring out how to fix this shit?” You turn your back to them and are moving to pick up the weights when you feel a hand grip your shoulder. You look back to see Megan with a hurt expression. She grips your shoulder tightly, and she’d be digging her nails if she didn’t keep them short.

“You’re not being fair to us.” She tells you.

Her expression hurts you, but at the same time, the anger and frustration override other feelings.

“Well, sorry if I don’t feel like being fair today.” God knows the world isn’t.

Megan groans in frustration as tears form around her eyes. She stomps her foot, holds both of you cheeks tightly and presses her lips hard against yours before pulling away.

“Will you just listen for a second!?”

Anger?

Frustration?

Impotence?

What the fuck are those? Your mind is completely blank right now.

“Okay.” You manage to answer, looking at Megan with a blank expression.

Emily stands next to her friend, whose hands on your cheeks are replaced by the blonde’s as she does exactly the same as the brunette. Emily presses her lips hard against yours and pulls away with a huge grin on her face. “10 minutes to wallow in your misery is too much. We’ll give you one to recover from this and we’ll start brainstorming, okay?”

Slowly, your mind starts working again. Megan kissed you. Emily kissed you right after that. Neither of them seem to mind. You have questions. So, so many questions.

“So… what was that?” You ask, baffled.

“More on that later. We have more pressing matters.” Emily says, but she and Megan can’t hold back their grins at your reaction.
