"Oh my God!" Erica screamed. Slamming the door behind her. The hall had been empty when she'd
come back from the cave wih Knox. Slowly but surely doors began to open. Knox and Todd were the first
people to enter the hall, followed by Meeks and Pitts. Erica didn't recognize any of the others.
Knox came running up to her. "What's wrong? Are you ok?" Erica's whole body shook, a mixture of
anger and disappointment. Knox motioned for Meeks to take Erica while he entered Charlie's room. Meeks
wrapped his arms protectively around Erica and Pitts stepped aside as he guided Erica into their room.
Knox's eyes widened when he saw why Erica had yelled. Dalton lay on his bed, shirt off, while Bianca
scrambled to get her clothes on. When she had, she ran out of the room. Charlie just looked at Knox.
"Something I can help you with, Knoxious?" Knox jaw dropped. "You're unbelievable!" Dalton smirked.
"I am good, aren't I?" "You can be such an ass sometimes. We all know you like Erica, and it's pretty damn
obvious she likes you. So you....what....sleep with the one person in this school she can't stand?!"
Charlie stood up and began buttoning his shirt. "I take whatever I can get." Knox pointed at Meek's
Pitt's closed door. "I have nothing against you sleeping with Biance, but Erica is in ther crying." Charlie
froze. He'd only known Erica for a couple days, but she didn't seem like the type who cried a lot. Especially
over him. In fact, no girl had ever cried over him. "S-should I talk to her?" Knox shrugged his shoulder.
"You need to do something." Dalton nodded and brushed past him, not hesitating before pushing open
Meek's and Pitt's door.
Erica sat on Meek's bed, his arms still wrapped around her. Her head rested on his shoulder, her eyes
red from crying. "Erica, I-I don't know what to say." "Save it!" Erica shouted. Pushing past him and
slamming their door closed. Dalton heard a slight click and knew she'd locked the door. Charlie began
pounding on the door. "C'mon Erica! Let me in!" He shouted. Doors wee opening again as all the boys on
the floor came out to see what new drama was taking place.
"Fuck you!" Erica shouted. She was slumped on the floor in front of the door. She hated this. She'd
liked guys before, but none had ever made her act like this. Like a silly little girl. She hated it. She needed to
get control again. Her mind made up, she stood up and flung back the door. Charlie didn't even have time to
react, as Erica pulled his face towards hers. He'd imagined kissing her a couple times, but nothing could
compare to the real thing.
Her lips were full and soft beneath his, as her tongue parted his lips. The boys who'd been watching
went back into their rooms. The exciting part obviously over. From where he was watching in the doorway,
Knox smiled. When Erica finally pulled away, Charlie could only stare, dazedly, at her, and she grinned. "Do
you forgive me now?"
"Oh my God!" Erica screamed. Slamming the door behind her. The hall had been empty when she'd
