Page 9 of Twisting You

Any minute he would say something. I had to stand here and wait for his sly comment or insult. The boys walked past us, laughing slightly to themselves. Dan sent me a wink and a smile as he eased by. See, that is what I like about Dan. He’s easygoing and doesn’t get a thrill out of embarrassing me, unlike his stupid best friend.

I narrowed my eyes as I watched Scott walk slowly past Xavier and me. To my utter surprise, he passed in silence. Looked like he was going to keep his comments to himself. I let out a small sigh. Thank god.

“Hey, Chloe.”

You thought too soon, Chloe. You thought too soon. Glancing over my shoulder, I glared at Scott, who was grinning at me.

“I can help you get dressed after gym, if you want? Maybe even a shower together.” Scott rubbed his chin while smirking. “Though I guess I am no Dan. I heard water is your thing, right?”

Groaning, I slammed a palm to my forehead. Oh the humiliation. I snuck a sideways glance at Xavier, whose face was wiped clean of any expression. He was just staring at Scott.

Turning on my heel, I darted away from him. I elbowed Scott in the side as I passed him and joined the group of students waiting for gym.

I would kill Scott the first chance I got. Running up to Dan, I stood by his side. “I really hate your friend,” I grumbled to him while crossing my arms.

Dan smiled and threw an arm around my head, hooking my head and pulling me into his chest. “He’s your friend too.”

I scoffed, “Don’t think so, buddy.”

Dan leaned down and whispered in my ear, “He’s just jealous, you know.”

“I am not jealous of anything. After all I did get a strip show.”

Groaning, I tucked my head tighter into Dan’s chest. “Kill him for me, would you?” I mumbled into his chest.

I felt Dan’s chest rumble as he laughed and then moved to punch Scott. I heard the thump of Dan’s fist connecting with Scott.

“Gee, man. Chloe has already abused me twice today, you know. Now my other arm is dead.” Scott grumbled next to me.

I pulled my head out of Dan’s chest. “And you deserved each hit.”

“Class, pair up.” Xavier’s voice boomed, signaling the beginning of class. Pulling out of Dan’s grasp, I glanced at the students already pairing up. I smiled up at Dan, “You want to be pairs?”

Dan opened his mouth but Xavier cut him off. “Chloe and Scott, pair up. I want Dan with Tyler.”

“What!” I turned on my heel and screamed at him. “Why do I have to be paired with IT?” I pointed a finger in Scott’s direction.

Xavier crossed his arms. “I am the teacher, Chloe. Now pair off.”

Rolling my eyes, I walked off to stand next to Scott. “Now you’re a teacher,” I grumbled as I walked past Xavier. He didn’t reply as he walked to the head of the class.

“We are doing a fitness test in pairs. You will work together to push each other to your limits. So outside we go.” Xavier instructed, as the whole class grumbled behind him, walking outside to the field.

“We begin with laps. Remember, everyone is different. So keep that in mind when pushing your partner.” Xavier blew his whistle and people began to break off.

“Excuse me, sir?” Scott moved forward to speak to Xavier, gaining the class’s attention as everyone watched him. How could Scott have a question about this activity? It was straightforward.

Xavier studied Scott for a moment before nodding his head for Scott to continue.

“You said we had to push our partner to their limit?” Scott pointed a thumb over his shoulder in my direction. “But I can’t see a bed. So how can I get Chloe to that point without one? Because her fitness in the bed has really gone downhill.”

The class broke into chuckles, just as Scott had planned, I bet. Groaning and glaring at Scott’s back, I saw Xavier narrow his eyes. “I suppose you and Chloe can work on that, in your own time.”

I turned my head to the side and shot Dan a pointed look. He really needed to learn to control his best friend. “You need to buy him a muzzle.” I snapped in Dan’s direction.

“See, Mr. Clark, she just can’t stop herself from thinking kinky thoughts!” Scott said with a note of annoyance, shooting me a smirk over his shoulder. The class continued to laugh at my expense.

“Enough, class. Scott and Chloe, if you two stir up any more trouble in my class, you will face detention.”
