| Turn Around Summary: Sebastian refuses to help Kathryn but later after an encounter with Annette has a sudden realization. Chapter 8: A Moment Of Clarity "Oh yes...Sebastian I'm close!" Bridget York screamed in my ear as I fucked her against the wall of the janitors closet. "Good...now shut up someone might hear you." Actually I could give a damn if someone heard us. Her yells were just starting to give me a headache. Usually I like it when a girl is vocal but there was something about her voice that was turning me off or maybe I just wasn't in the mood. The truth was I had no real interest in Bridget. She was cute enough and everything but she wasn't exactly my first pick for a quickie before Bio. In fact the only reason I was bothering with her at all was because of Kathryn. Bridget was one of the few contenders left in the school election race with any chance of winning. However once it got around that she did me and on school grounds no less her reputation would be shot to shit thus making Kathryn the clear victor. All week I had been helping my partner in crime get rid of her competition. It wasn't exactly difficult to help put the contenders in compromising positions. Three had already dropped out and the other two had a snow ball's chance in hell of being elected thanks to some incriminating videotape's that were posted on the net. Bridget continued to scream and moan as I felt my own come approach. Deciding to hurry things along I quickly found her clit and staring rubbing it. She began yelling my name so I slapped my hand over her mouth to shut her up. As I did so I shot my load into her then quickly pulled out leaving her a huddled mass of shakes on the floor. She didn't move at first just smiled. I knew Bridget wasn't a virgin but I could also tell she wasn't exactly experienced. "That was...it wasn't like that with Tommy" she sighed. At the mention of her football stud boyfriend I had to keep myself from vomiting. I couldn't believe I was wasting my time banging Tommy Davidson's reject girlfriend. Kathryn better appreciate this. "Yeah that's shocking" I scoffed as images of Tommy coming even before he got all the way in floated through my head. How pathetic. Bridget began to clean herself up then gather her books. "Umm...Sebastian...your not going to tell anyone about this are you?" I wonder how she would react if I told her the truth that Kathryn was making sure everyone found out about this as we spoke. However I thought it would be much more amusing if she had no warning. Giving her my most sincere smile I said "of course not. A gentlemen never tells." At this she gave me a large smile and a hug "oh thank you Sebastian!." As she hugged me I made a face over her shoulder "no problem." Bridget pulled away from me and headed for the door. Before leaving she turned to me "you know people are totally wrong about you. You are the sweetest guy around." I smiled "thank you." "Bye I'll talk to you later" she then left and I dropped the smile that was starting to make my mouth hurt. Grabbing my glasses I opened the door and came face to face with Kathryn. She smiled sweetly and in a mocking voice replied "you know people are totally wrong about you. You are the sweetest guy in the world!" Dropping the smile she scoffed "fucking idiot." "What are you eavesdropping? How perverted of you Kathryn" I smiled. "Just making sure you completed your task on time." I zipped up my pants "it's completed." "So I heard" stepping closer she whispered "so how was it?" I shrugged "I don't know six, six and a half." Kathryn turned her nose up "you rate them?" Steeping closer to her I asked "oh and you don't? Most guys do but don't worry I'm sure your at the high end of the scale." She smiled up at me "you don't have a scale big enough to rate me." Kathryn then turned and walked down the empty hall. Shaking my head I quickly caught up with her. "So have you won this thing yet?" "Not yet. After Bridget there's just one more person left and she's the most important." "Who?" Kathryn sighed "you know who, Annette" At this my good mood disappeared. I knew who she was talking about all right. When I agreed to help her win the election I knew it would involve hurting Annette somehow but since Kathryn hadn't really brought it up at all I had put it out of my mind. This was not a conversation I was looking forward to having. "Kathryn I'm not going to help you ruin her." Kathryn stopped walking abruptly "what? We had a deal." "I told you I would help you win as best I could but-" "And that includes making sure she is out of the competition. Annette is the goddamn headmasters daughter and has the reputation of a saint. There's no way I can win without smearing her. You promised to help." I sighed "you know I can't hurt her." "Can't or won't? Christ Valmont I thought you were over this pussy whipped phase." "Look" I told her getting more angry by the minute "I told you I would lend you my services but I am not one of your whipping boys. I'm not Parker you don't say jump and I don't ask how high got it? I still care about Annette and I don't intend on hurting her any more than I already have." "Fine" she hissed in complete ice queen mode "then consider out partnership over. If you won't help me then forget me ever forgiving you." "Come on Kathryn" I sighed "don't make me choose between you two." She shook her head "oh don't worry I wouldn't dream of it. I know you will always choose her over me any ways which is why I want nothing more to do with you." With that she stormed back down the hall. "Kathryn!" I called out "Kathryn will you please...just..." I stopped calling out when I realized it was hopeless. What the fuck was wrong with me? Why couldn't I just help her with Annette it wasn't like I had a chance with her any ways. And why did I care so much when Kathryn was pissed at me? I should just wipe my hands of both of them. If only I could. * * * * * * The next day at school I spent most of the day trying to talk to Kathryn to no avail. She either ignored me or froze me out all together. During lunch I went to the cafeteria which I hadn't done since freshman year. Looking around I noticed Kathryn talking with a group of friends across the room. I took a seat and watched her somewhat fascinated at the way all the girls tried to get her attention. I could practically read her mind. Why won't this fucking loser's leave me alone? She looked up and her eyes locked with mine. Immediately she turned her head away and tried to ignore me but I continued to stare. Every now and then she would look back over at me and I just smiled. I could tell she wanted to smile back but she wouldn't allow herself to. Well fuck that I would just have to talk to her then and I didn't care who saw. Slowly I got up and headed her way. Her eyes locked on mine the entire time with this look of anticipation on her face. However before I could reach her Annette stepped in my way. I looked down at her somewhat surprised because we hadn't spoken since the party. "Sebastian can I talk to you for a moment?" I was more than a little taken back "umm" I looked up and saw Kathryn shooting daggers at me "sure." As I followed Annette to an empty table I glanced at Kathryn who was shaking her head in disgust. I sighed sitting down "what's up Annette? If this is another lecture about what an awful person I am I half to tell you I'm not up for it right now." She smiled "no, no it's nothing like that. I just wanted to apologize for the way I treated you last weekend. I was completely out of line hitting you like that." "No problem I've had worse" I told her thinking back to that night when Kathryn hit me. "It was awful of me. I guess I didn't want to face the truth." That piqued my interest. "The truth about what?" Annette looked up at me with a mixture of sorrow and regret "about Patrick. You were totally right about him. I showed up at his place to surprise him and found him handcuffed to the bed with some girl. They were...it was completely disgusting." She shook her head as if trying to erase the memory. "Anyway I just wanted to say I was sorry for everything." I sighed hardly surprised by any of this "look you have nothing to apologize for." "Yes I do. God Sebastian I know how much I hurt you and then I wouldn't believe you when you went through all that trouble to show me the truth. I mean now I understand why you've been acting like this." I looked at her curious "acting like what?" "You know like this shallow jerk. Sleeping with all these girls, talking back to teachers, not showing up for class. I mean I know that's not the real you. You've just been acting like that because of me." Pulling back from her a little I looked Annette over and tried to figure out where she was going with this. "You think I'm acting out of character?" She smiled "of course. I know you Sebastian remember and your not that guy." She leaned over and took my hands in hers "I've been thinking and I've realized the huge mistake I made letting you go. I've missed you so much Sebastian and I would really like it if maybe...we could start seeing each other again." As she said it I felt as if I had been hit by a truck. She wanted to get back together now? "But you don't love me remember?" "Sebastian I didn't mean that. I guess I was just scared with how serious we were getting. I mean weren't you scared." I glared at her "no I wasn't." She smiled "well then what do you say? Do you want to give us another chance?" I looked into Annette's blue eyes and for the first time I couldn't' remember one thing that I loved about her. It was in that moment I realized that I never did love Annette. Kathryn was right she really was just the ultimate conquest to me. I wanted her because I couldn't have her and when I was with her the challenge became how I could make the relationship work even though I knew it never would. I didn't love Annette and the last thing I wanted was to be with her and her holier than thou attitude. "No fucking way" I told her with a smile as I removed my hands for hers. The smile on her face fell away and she recoiled from me "excuse me? I thought-" "You thought what? That I would jump for joy that you would take me back after you dumped me for that S&M freak show? I don't think so sweetheart? You see this guy that you think I have been acting like wasn't an act. It is the real me. The real me doesn't make nice with parents, go to church or do charity." Annette shook her head "your lying." I laughed "no I'm not! I just did all those things for you. And now I sit hear and I can't think of a single reason I stayed with you for so long." "You bastard! I thought you loved me?" "No" I said as the realization dawned on me "I thought I did too but now I realize it was just an infatuation. It wasn't real love if such a thing exists." Annette stood up abruptly tears staring to swell in her eyes "I can't believe I was ever considering taking you back. You don't know the first thing about caring for someone!" I stood up too "well now see there's where your wrong. There is someone I care about but I didn't want to admit to it." "Who?" "Oh don't worry she's completely out of your league." At that Annette hit me hard across the face. Touching my cheek I commented "she hit's harder too." Annette let out a frustrated groan "we are over with for good! I never want to talk to you again, understand?" I smiled "do I look like I'm complaining?" With tears now running down her cheeks Annette ran out of the now empty cafeteria. As I watched her leave I smiled to myself. For the first time in what seems like forever I felt free. Free of the feelings that had been weighing me down for months. I finally felt like my old self. There was just one person I had to see. As I headed out of the cafeteria I prayed that it wasn't too late. - to be continued |
