He snaps out of his daydream and responds yes, then he heads to math class

He snapped out of it, cheeks burning. His fingers fumbled over the screen. Yeah. Sounds good.

The bell screeched overhead—late for math. John shoved his phone into his pocket, the cum-sticky fabric clinging to his fingers. He bolted out of the bathroom, sneakers squeaking on the linoleum. The hallway was packed, bodies shoving past, backpacks swinging. Some freshman yelped as Jamal’s crew hip-checked him into a locker.

Lacey’s voice cut through the noise, high and fake. “Ew, why’s it smell like bleach and dick in here?” She was leaned against her locker, one hand twirling a strand of bleach-fried hair, the other clutching her phone. Her cheer skirt was hiked up so high the white lace of her thong peeked out.

John ducked his head, shoulders hunched. Don’t look. Don’t fucking look. But his traitorous eyes flicked down anyway—her thighs, the way her tits strained against her crop top.

John’s sneakers squeaked against the linoleum as he slipped into math class, the door clicking shut behind him. Lacey didn’t even glance up from her phone, her acrylic nails tap-tap-tapping against the screen. She was perched on some jock’s lap—Tyler, probably, judging by the dumbass frosted tips and the way his meaty fingers dug into her waist. Her skirt rode up even higher now, the lace of her thong practically screaming for attention.

Mr. Henderson, a balding 50-something with coffee stains on his tie, didn’t bother looking up from his crossword. "Sit down, Doe. You’re late."

John shuffled to his desk in the back, the plastic chair groaning under his weight. Grace was already there, her cat-eye glasses sliding down her nose as she scribbled notes. She smelled like vanilla body spray and pencil shavings. Her jeans hugged her hips just right, the fabric straining a little where her thighs pressed together.

"You okay?" Grace whispered, her knee brushing his under the desk. Her voice was soft, warm—nothing like Lacey’s screechy porn-whine.

John’s throat went dry. "Yeah. Just—uh. Bathroom was gross."

Grace smirked, pushing her glasses up. "Jamal’s crew was looking for you."

John’s stomach twisted.
