The fallout

"What the fuck happened to you?" Michael asked me.

It was Monday and I was back at school, trying to explain everything that had happened on the weekend to my best friend Michael.

My right eye was battered and bruised and now everyone was noticing me.

After waking up in the spare bedroom at Declan's house on the weekend, the girls again thanked me for standing up to the guy. He was from another high school, a friend of a friend of Declan that shouldn't really have been there in the first place.

The girls were all keen on the idea of me hanging out and meeting them for lunch at school on Monday. Something that Michael couldn't grasp when I told him.

“The Saturday Night Five?? You're lying... how?? I mean... you? Why would they want...”

"Thanks for your vote of confidence," I said, opening up my locker.

“I mean, sorry dude but seriously, they're the most popular girls at school, I hear that Rose gives the best blowjobs of any chick in the county and don't get me started on Milly Milkers and Katie Cannons...”

He wasn't wrong, they were way out of my league even if they did just want to be friends. This group didn't allow anyone like me to just hang out with them, it wasn't normal.

But as others around the school congratulated me for standing up to that asshole from Friday Night, I started to walk a little taller, a little more confidence than I ever would when walking down these corridors.

At lunch, I was welcomed by the girls with open arms. I didn't say a whole lot, just listened quietly and ate my food. Just being there with them was a thrill.

It was also a good chance to get to know them a bit more. Rose and Milly were certainly the loudest of the five, both had so many boy troubles to get off their chest and complain about. Tayla was more of the non-official 'leader' of the group, she was the smartest of the five and was the only one that definitely didn't need any help studying. Milly was the opposite, hearing that Annie was getting help from me, she was quick to ask if she could get some help from me too.

Katie was more standoffish, I sort of thought that the first time I met her properly at the party. Although she was thankful for saving her on Friday night, she still seemed to keep her distance.

Then Annie of course, I hadn't worked her out yet. The way she spoke about me or spoke to me, it felt like we were best friends. After seeing her kiss Henry on Friday, I didn't know whether she was genuine or a little bit fake... she was difficult to work out.

It turned out only to be the start of things though. Over the next few weeks, I basically became the sixth member of their group. I was helping Annie and Milly study every night, Rose would join on occasion when she could be bothered turning up.

I also becaame a sounding board for all of Rose and Milly's problems.

Tayla on the other hand just appreciated that I was smart, someone who could actually challenge her on an intellectual level. It wasn't something she was used to with the other girls.

“It's so nice having a genuine conversation that doesn't involve make-up, boys, clothes or why the NFL is rigged when Declan's team doesn't win,” she told me as we walked back from class.

“You two been together long?”

She shrugged, carrying her books tightly to her chest, “We're on and off... we fight a lot so we have broken up multiple times before.”

It didn't surprise me, honestly.

Especially considering how vastly different IQ's they would have. Can anyone really be that different and manage to work as a couple? I doubt it.

Anyways, whether I was friend zoned or looked at as a 'gay best friend', it didn't matter to me. I had five new friends to hang out, five very hot friends.

As nice as it was to hang out at school, things didn't hit another level until I was finally invited around to one of the girls houses....
