The Jig Is Up Kids

It was a week after prom, and I was relieved. Not as much stress went through the hallways at Herrington High. Stokley was back to telling people "fuck off", Stan playing football, and Delilah acting like the hateful bitch she was. Zeke was still selling his drugs and fake porn, and to believe some guys actually bought that stuff. Everyday felt like a tiny bit of heaven for me, because I got to see Casey.

Ever since prom, we'd been making love like junk yard bunnies. We were careful not to get caught, but at the same time it was very hard. If my parents found out they'd take me out of Herrington faster then Macaulay Culkin's career. God help us if Casey's parents found out.

So one fine cloudy day in 5th period, which happened to be science, Mr. Furlong gave each of his students an assignment that was do the next week. We all groaned and moaned but he still gave the assignment. I got some chick named Rachel Carson. When I was busy reading on my scientist, I felt a poke on my arm. It was a note Casey was trying to pass to me. It said:

"Karyn, come over tonight. We can work on the paper together. *wink, wink* Your hot man, Casey." I smiled and wrote that I could come over. My Casey, so funny and cute.

When I got to the Conner household I was pretty mellowed out. I didn't bring my paper, because I knew no work was going to get done. Sure I acted stupid at times, but that didn't mean I was stupid. Casey answered the door and kissed me. His lips were so sweet and tender. Those big blue eyes were staring at me and I smiled.

As we walked up the stairs he told me his parents were out and shouldn't be back until 12 and Janie was at a friend's house. We finally got to Casey's room and I was thrilled. He threw me on his bed and started to undress me. I began to undress him, faster then you can say "Oops she did it again" we were involved in deep, pleasurable, passionate sex. Then all of the sudden the door slammed open. Casey's father stood there and his mother behind him. I tried to cover myself up with covers to protect what modesty I had left, but I just hid behind Casey. Mr. Conner's face was a deep scarlet and veins were popping out of his neck. He looked at me then at Casey.

"SLUT!!!!" Mr. Conner cried pointing to me. "Casey Conner, what the fuck were you thinking, sleeping with that whore???!!!"

"Dad, who the fuck do you think you are for calling Karyn a whore? She isn't a slut either."

"Oh yes she is! Look at her hiding behind you, like that. She must be stupid as well, because if she thinks hiding behind a wuss like you is gonna save her."

I was speechless and so was Casey. Is that what Mr. Conner really thought of me? I hated him then for calling Casey a wuss. At least Casey had the guts to tell his father what he felt. Mrs. Conner came in the room and spoke, as she began to I moved closer to Casey.

"Robert," she began. "Robert, they are 18 and they are going to do stuff we don't like. You've always been so hard on your son, why can't you just let him off the hook this time?"

"No Pauline, not this time. I'm going to have to each him a lesson."

"God damn it! Don't you dare go near him, if you hurt him I swear to god I will kill you."

Mr. Conner advanced towards Casey and I tried to protect my lover. Before the angry man could hit Casey, Mrs. Conner jumped in front of her son taking the punch. I gasped in horror and my mouth dropped. Mr. Conner called his wife a bitch and stormed out of the room. I began to cry and apologize. I was sorry that I hurt Mrs. Conner, I was sorry that I could've hurt Casey and I was sorry for everyone. Except Mr. Conner.
