Chapter 1
Maya Hunter strolled up to Riley Matthew's apartment, aware that everyone was probably waiting on her. It was Junior Prom, and she could see the limo they were all taking parked outside the building. As she strolled inside, she saw Topanga taking pictures of Riley with Zay Babineaux, her date. They weren't a couple or anything. Riley had dated a few guys short term after her breakup with Lucas two years before, but since she was currently single and so was Zay, they were attending prom together as friends. Riley looked beautiful in a spaghetti strapped long purple gown, and the smile on her face seemed genuine, she looked as happy as she ever looked lately. Maya stood in the doorway and smiled to see her friend so happy. Something had changed in Riley since she and Lucas broke up, she was less goofy, less spontaneous, and she seemed to care less about everything. "Including my life" thought Maya bitterly. With Riley preoccupied and Maya's mom Katie blissful in her life with her new husband Shawn, it didn't seem like anyone cared much about Maya's life, at least not to her.
Riley finally noticed her and let out a yelp: "Maya, you're here, finally, we thought you weren't coming!" As Riley hurried across the room to hug her, Maya took in the concerned looks of Zay, Isadora, and Farkle (who had been standing to the side) and the disappointed looks of Topanga and Cory. It was Topanga who spoke first "Maya sweetheart, can you breathe in that dress?" The black floor length dress Maya was wearing was too tight, at least a size too small, accentuating the slit up the side of her thigh and causing her cleavage to overflow. "Of course Mrs. Matthews" Maya laughed, "I like this dress, it's below my knee and doesn't show my belly, so the school can't bitch". Topanga took a second to ignore the fact that Maya just casually cursed around her and plastered a fake smile across her face. "Ok then" she said cheerfully, "let's get a picture of you and Riley, and where is your date, I wanted to get a group picture". "Oh, Devon's not really a picture kind of guy" Maya responded, taking her spot next to Riley, "I'm sure he'll just meet us at the prom." From behind her, Farkle's eyes rolled at the name Devon, he couldn't stand the guy and thought he treated Maya like crap, but then Farkle didn't like any of Maya's boyfriends lately.
As Maya predicted, Devon was standing outside the hotel door when the group's limo arrived. Zay, trying to be cordial, stepped up to him with a hand extended and a smile on his face. "Devon, you could have ridden with us, we have more than enough room". Devon ignored the hand and stared down at the limo "yeah maybe on the way back man, I wasn't interested in hanging out at my history teacher's house before prom." "You didn't miss anything" Maya said before giving him a long kiss, "just the usual take pictures and be judged for your wardrobe fiasco". Everyone else in the group winced before Farkle took over, "well are we ready for the prom?" he asked, taking Isadora's hand and leading them inside. Maya hung back a bit, she had smelled the Jack Daniels on Devon's breath when she kissed him. "So you had a little pre-prom cocktail huh" she whispered as they entered the hotel, "did you save any for me?" "Of course", Devon replied putting his arm around her, "you know I'd take care of you baby, once the limo driver takes a break why don't you show me the inside of that sweet ride and we'll have some fun." "Sounds good" Maya smiled up at him.
About an hour into the prom Devon showed up at Maya's side and whispered into her ear "come on beautiful, the driver is gone and the back of the limo is open, let's go". He and Maya slipped out of the prom avoiding the chaperones and headed to the back of the car. As soon as they were inside, Devon produced a flask he had hidden in his coat pocket and took a long drink before handing it to Maya. As soon as she gulped down the liquor, he leaned in to kiss her. They began to make out, Devon's tongue invading her mouth while his hand found the slit in her skirt and began to follow its way up. Once his hand reached her thigh Maya casually moved it back down, only for Devon to continue moving his hand up. Maya broke the kiss to joke "What, you think I'm going to be that easy just because you brought me a drink, we've only been dating a few weeks." Devon looked confused and angry, "Baby, its prom, why are you fighting me, is this because I didn't spring for a fancy hotel room or something, it's not like you're a virgin." Maya was saddened by that statement, she may be in trouble a lot, but she was still a virgin, not that anyone would believe that. One of her former boyfriends had spread graphic and untrue stories about their sex life, and everyone had believed him, pretty soon the whole school thought that Maya Hunter had more notches on her bed post than C's on her report card.
Maya focused her attention back on Devon. "Yeah screw you, I'm going back inside". As she turned to leave Devon grabbed her arm "the hell you are bitch, why do you think I brought you to prom. I spent all that money on the tickets and you show up dressed like that, you can't just tease me and walk away, you owe me". His voice was hard and brittle and his grip on Maya's arm hurt, but it was the anger in his eyes that scared her the most. "If you don't want sex at least you are going to get me off" he continued, grabbing Maya by the hair and forcing her down to his crotch with one hand, while his other hand worked to undo his zipper. Maya had grabbed Devon's knees and was fighting to stay upright, but he was 6 foot 5 and built like a brick, she couldn't win this battle of wills. Suddenly Devon grabbed her by the chin and the side of her neck and stared coldly at her. "You better do me really good too baby, you bite me, you'll regret it."
