Chapter 20
I'm grinding my teeth so hard, I'm surprised I haven't broken a molar by now. "Can we get this over with? I'm going to be late for my class," I snap, wanting to punch all of them in their faces.
King chuckles, his fingers still tangled in my hair. "You tell me, kitten." His grip tightens slightly, making my scalp burn. "Do you have something to say?"
"I'm sorry for running into you," I mutter, my hatred for him bubbling right beneath my skin.
"I didn't hear you."
"I said I'm sorry for running into you!" I shout angrily, my voice echoing through the empty hall.
"What do you think, boys? Should we let her go after that?" he asks, looking over at Niko and Mason, who are still watching me.
"Nah, sounded like she said it with an attitude," Niko replies with an arrogant smile. King's dark, amber gaze flickers back to me. "You heard him, kitten. Try again."
"You know what...fuck you, King. And fuck the rest of you too," I spit with venom, starting to rise to my feet, but King shoves me back down to the floor with a force that knocks the breath out of me.
He strokes his chin, grinning. "That's actually a good idea, we could add that too. After sucking our dicks, Alyssa Bennett let all of us fuck her tight, little pussy."
Everyone would believe him and then Isaac would break up with me and never speak to me again. I'm supposed to be a virgin until we graduate and get married.
My cheeks flush with heat from both rage and embarrassment. "I'm going to tell Gray," I sneer.
I know threatening to tell my big brother sounds childish, but it's the only thing I can think of to get out of this.
Even if King acts like he runs shit around here, Gray is really their leader, and if my big brother found out what they were doing to me, I'm sure he'd kill them.
They all laugh like I just told the funniest joke they've ever heard. "Oh, kitten. Gray can't save you. Who do you think he'll believe? You or us, his brothers?" King asks, his cruel smirk mocking me.
"Me, of course," I retort, trying to sound as confident as I can.
His face twists into a snarl. "Then, I'll just tell him how I caught you the other day with Isaac beneath the bleachers. I'm sure he'd like to know that his little, innocent sister was letting some asshole feel up her skirt."
I gasp. He...he saw that?
I never meant for that to happen. Isaac and I just got a little carried away. It felt so good to have an escape, if only just for a moment, from the suffocating weight of anxiety and depression caused by Mom's illness and the lingering grief of Dad's death.
Did King see it for himself? Or did

someone else report it to him? I can't ask him directly-he'd never give me a straight answer. So, it looks like the only choice I have is to give him what he wants. I can't risk both my brother and my mom finding out what a big whore I've been lately. Content belongs to Novelxo.org
"I'm fucking sorry, okay? Please...please just let me go," I plead, my voice cracking.
I just want them to leave me the alone. Why do they keep targeting me like this?
Pleased with my submission, King gestures for Niko to help me up. "Good girl."

himself, but just as the words start to form on my lips, I hear Ashley's voice. my head snaps in her direction. "There you are! Oh my god, Alyssa. We were looking for you!" My best friend comes running down the hall towards us, her face a blend of relief and worry. I sigh in relief that she didn't see me on my knees for them. "Ew, what are you doing here with them?"

I don't answer, too ashamed and revolted by the whole situation to speak. Instead, I let her lead me away to our next class, nausea. rising in my throat as I glance back at my three tormentors. They're all stiff watching me, King's smug-ass smirk sure to haunt me for the rest of the day. Content belongs to Novelxo.org
