- Katie's POV -

I'd never recall that night again. I lost everything. My dignity; my respect; and my virginity. All of it to some stupid, ignorant popular kid that didn't even know my name. And we were on the same committee together! I couldn't believe I was so stupid.

"Katie, time for school!" my mom yelled from downstairs.

I sighed and checked my outfit in the mirror one more time before going downstairs and leaving. My car drove smoothly down the road and the wind from outside my window swept my hair gently. I pulled into the parking lot I've drove into every day for the last 134 days of this school year and again, no one paid attention to the nerdy girl from gym class. I grabbed my bag and wallet from the car before locking it and walking through the front doors for my day of torture.

Heads turned to me as I walked down the hallway and I got overwhelmed from all of the attention. I've never had so many people looking at me before and I wasn't on stage for drama performances or choral showcases. I got to my locker and Alex's girlfriend, Heather, was standing there with her arms crossed and a tear on her face in rage. I'd never seen her so angry.

"You made Alex break up with me, you whore!" she screamed at me and then a sharp pain came at my cheek that made my head turn quickly.

"Firstly," I started as I turned back to look at her face as another tear rolled, "I can't make anyone's boyfriend break up with them. If I'm the reason you and Alex broke up, it's his fault, not mine. He's obviously got something going that involves me and I have nothing to do with it. Secondly," I said, continuing, "you're nothing but a slut anyways, Heather. I mean, you did sleep with the entire boys' track team."

A bunch of ooohs and ohhh's came from behind us. She was turning red and getting more heated but I just smiled gently at her and grabbed my textbook before stalking off to Chemistry 01. I entered the class and Alex was actually there already. I was the one that was late.

"And your reasoning for being late to my class is?" Mr. Fargo asked me.

"I got into some trouble with someone," I replied and sat in my seat next to my best friend, Kaylin.

She passed a note over to me. What happened with queen bitch?

She was waiting for me to bitch about Alex. I wrote back.

Wow. Must have some nerve. You can really throw punches. She put her little crush face and I burst out laughing.

We finished our Chemistry assignment and I wrote down the homework before leaving the classroom. Someone grabbed me by my sweater's pocket and pulled me down the hallway backwards swiftly. They didn't seem to care about the head-turners paying attention to them kidnapping me and they actually let out a chuckle. A deep chuckle. One I knew very well. He finally stopped and I turned to look at him with a confused face.

"What the hell did you drag me all the way to the teacher's lounge for? We could get in big trouble!" I shouted at him.

"This is the old teacher's lounge and no one comes in here but janitors after school hours. I want to talk about the party," Alex said.

"No. There's nothing to say about that party," I said and reached for the doorknob.

"Yes, there is. There is plenty to say about that party. I fucked you for crying out loud and it was your first time, Katie!"

- Katie's POV -

"You really know how to fuck up a girls' day," I said and tried to slip past him.

"Katie," he said and blocked the door. "I can't stop thinking about you since that night. That wasn't just sex we had... I felt like I made love to you, Kathryn. I just-,"

"Don't ever call me that." I was starting to get heated at the sound of my actual name.

"Katie, don't you get it? I love you. I'm possibly in love with you!" He was in my face now and his breath smelled like cigarettes and minty toothpaste.

"You can't love me. You love girls like Heather; with nice boobs and asses and who are dumb enough to even like guys like you," I said harshly and looked down at our bodies barely touching.

His finger touched my chin lightly and lifted it up so I was looking him in the eyes. "Kiss me, Katie," he whispered and leaned forward.

And I did. Hell, who wouldn't kiss Alex? He was hot. But the kiss wasn't what I thought it would be; forced, harsh, and distasteful. No. It was soft, subtle, and it made me melt. His lips and breath and tongue were all I could feel against me. His hands around my waist, being careful of touching me in that way. And it seemed like we were there for days and days; just kissing. When it was over, I still kept my eyes shut. He made me realize we weren't kissing anymore by wiping a tear off of my cheek.

- Alex's POV - 

"Man, what were you thinking? Katie's a nerd! She's way below your standards!"

"Well, maybe you're not such a good friend if you can't see that I actually like her, Josh." I was getting frustrated as my boys starting dissing Katie as if she were another slut.

"But she's a NERD!" he shouted and the cafeteria got quiet.

"It's better than your whore of a girlfriend who tried to get me to fuck her last weekend!" I shouted back at him and made his girlfriend Denisa blush. "Stay out of my love life or get the fuck out of my life and my girlfriend's."

"You've changed. And it's because of that thing you're with," Josh said and glared at Katie.

I saw her put her head down and look as if she were about to cry. That was it. My fist connected with Josh's nose and he fell out onto the floor. A sea of gasps exploded in the quiet room and I saw officers coming over towards us. Katie looked up and smiled gently at me before covering her mouth and heading towards the door in a sprint. What the-

 "Mr. Milan, we need to speak with you in the principal's office," one of the cops said to me.

"Look, dude, can I just go and check on my girlfriend?"

"No, sir, we need you to-,"

"Let him go," Josh coughed out to them.

They considered it for a second and then nodded at me. I ran out of the room and down the hall to find Katie quickly. I heard someone puking inside the girls' bathroom and then the flush of a toilet. The stall door creaked open and the girl coughed before running water. The door then swung open and out came Katie, red-faced and miserable.

"I don't feel so well," she whispered.

"I'll take you home," I told her and pulled her into my arms.

When I got her home, no one was there so she asked me to stay with her. And I did. Hell, who wouldn't?

- Katie's POV -

"Mom, I need new clothes," I shouted down the hall at her.

"Sweetie, I just bought you new clothes last week and they fit fine!" she yelled back.

"I can't get into this dress mom and this party is huge!"

"Well, wear some shorts and a tank top or something. No cleavage though and make sure the shorts cover your thighs!"

"Mom, I'm starting to gain a little weight."

"Your boobs are also growing a little so you will not be showing anything. Alright?"

"Mom, no. Seriously. I've gained five pounds in these past few weeks..." I started to become a little worried and looked at myself in the mirror. My used to be anorexic body was starting to develope a little curve and excess fat in the stomach but I still looked pretty small. And my butt was getting a little bigger, too.

"Well, why don't we go on a diet?"

"I've been eating nothing but salads and drinking fruit juice and water this whole time. What other kind of diet is there, mother?"

"Well, you could try eating fish, maybe? And drinking more milk and juices instead of water. Water weight can be a killer."

"Whatever," I snapped at her and was confused about my sudden change in mood.

"Kathryn, don't use that tone."

"Ugh," I groaned and closed my door.

- Katie's POV -

"Babe, you're starting to get a little big, don't you think?" Alex commented while I kissed him tenderly.

"Well, mom and me started a diet yesterday and it's been a little hefty these past few weeks. With graduation coming up and everything, I don't-,"

"You don't have to help with the senior's graduation," he said quickly and looked at me.

"I want to, though. It's kind of
