Roads. They all just connect to each other to lead to a895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfhgl7VoOG
specific destination. It’s like you need to memorize a specific combination—or895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Mb4VgIPb
two—just to end up with an even more specific outcome. But how do we remember895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoSpAAQvny
the longest of combinations, like the one Ms. Sara Leslie had to memorize to895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIeAsQu4IZ
get to the Airbnb she rented. The same Airbnb she was driving Caspian Grenfield895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fik7cptRx
and all the other seven chosen boys were headed to.
“How did they even get there?” you may ask. Well, you see…
“Will Caspian Grenfield, Isaac Blueburn, Jax Jackson,895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OMCE9iId9
Robinson Wyatt, Lee Emmet, Caleb and William Otto, and Mason Emalia please895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9moIr6KO9
report to the principal’s office right now?”
Caspian flinched upon hearing his name come out of their895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQUj71tQww
school’s intercom. It was especially shocking to hear it along with those other895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSD9WJKHil
names. He was a bit terrified of the thought that he might’ve become a895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVrKabrKJA
delinquent. I mean, yes, he is over exaggerating, but could you really895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw79wSK7JDb
blame him? He was one of those kids who always passed their homework on time895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPI3kRbtJD
and has never had a grade lower than above average. He was always avoiding895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdckFlcxQDI
trouble wherever he went, and it just wasn’t normal to hear his name being used895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdAv7sh8WV
along with all those others. Or at all.
He knew it must’ve been a mistake, so he ignored it and calmed895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fAuxA1Kq2
himself down. Until the intercom called again.
Now this time, he knew it was real. His palms were damp, and895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfjuWclUzQ
his legs shook. He looked and acted as if he was actually gonna face an895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYTjOhs9aG
executioner than a principal. Little did he know that it was absolutely nothing895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5vsqovYxa
like that at all.
…
“You called to see me, Ma’am…?”
When Caspian peeped into the principal’s office, his stomach895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDXSh7ytRG
dropped. William Otto, Mason Emalia, and Jax Jackson stared at him, sitting on895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJD77pUa2e
the three single armchairs along the side of the room. Their attention was895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12WX6WdaN9
consumed by his presence, and he didn’t like it.
William Otto was an Alpha, the kind that shows it without895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgfTBo1HRe
effort at all. The doctors found out as soon as he was born—and that barely895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TpHuLqoCK
even happens. When he was going through puberty, he went from 4’11 to 5’9 in895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqzG5mctTd
less than three years. People thought that he was fifteen when he was actually895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVl2kb2RiD
just twelve. Now that he’s a senior, he stood at 6’2—and that’s why it’s quite895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNMASN5XWK
difficult to walk through the halls now without getting so much attention.
Though Will looked like the kind of Alpha that could895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSwCHeu6VL
kill a Grizzly Bear, he didn’t act like it. Yes, he was tall, had broad895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B64lVfLux
shoulders, and had abs that could bite; but he wasn’t all that. He was895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHVytq9Wuw
kind, compassionate, and really, really friendly. He was the type of guy895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MgUQKT5H2
you could depend on and talk to. He could work in groups of eight and make sure895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQG4bHYXeY
everyone had a job to do—and you wouldn’t feel the pressure of doing too much895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGd0mtxv02
work. He was a sensitive giant, a large teddy bear. That was kind of why he was895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01JMJNgqo2
the student body president.
Mason Emalia was the Star Player of their basketball team.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0X1dQOYQN
Though his performance at school wasn’t the best, he’d always make it up to you895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfcadZryol
on the court. He was a ruthless player and a worthy opponent. The only thing895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLTtVlE39s
you could beat him at was chess. Jeez, he hated chess.
And finally, Jax Jackson, the mischief. He was the definition895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpivWAdszz
of “gay and ready to play”—it’s true, he’s the one who made it. Though nobody895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wie58zXbQ
really knew where he landed on the spectrum, everyone at school knew that he895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1eiF1engr
was only interested in men. All the girls would ever hear about him were, “I895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtkcv5k3A2
don’t know why, but he was amazing in bed,” and the like. There was even a895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR9umDgizn
rumor the spread like wildfire about him being able to get into their science895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqQV4uw61p
teacher’s pants—who was at least forty years old for your information.
Seeing all these boys here made Caspian feel so small, as if895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH7u1bpkRp
he was just a puny ant who could get stepped on in any minute. It terrified him895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHGUNTVymi
to the bone. And this was just the first three, where were the other four?
“Caspian, please have a seat while we wait for the others,”895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo76yL9NjJZ
Principal Gwen said calmly as she gestured to the seats in front of his desk.
Caspian took a seat on the couch in front of the three other895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbJEttuxZg
boys who watched his every move (But that was what Caspian thought. They were895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg8xRGLlio
actually just bored out of their minds right now.)
They silently waited. All they could ever hear was the895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmXCMR46t2
tapping of their Principal’s computer keys. Tik, tik, tik, they went.
Finally, the silence was broken when someone opened the door.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30s4V6hGt5
Another one of the eight boys who were beckoned by their intercom. And who895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YaJRD5wTj
exactly? None other than Robinson Wyatt, Caspian’s one and only childhood895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPveH5HFsJ
crush.
They weren’t close when Caspian first saw him, but he thought895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhavm4eZw9o
that Robbie was… cool. He watched him play around in the playground from a895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnmvx2Hge0
distance but never found the courage to actually talk to him. He was too afraid895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN6UmrdQnQ
that Robbie would think that he was just a stupid Omega with no friends.
A few years later, word got around that Robbie was an Alpha895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxWGObCv1O
and that just made things more confusing for him. He couldn’t understand why895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIwIgVQgh4
his face would heat up or why his heart skipped a beat when Robbie passed him.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFDEvw8iY0
It was a weird feeling that forced him to grin for no reason. Soon, he found895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXQ2wCkgij
out that it was Love.
“Okay,” Principal Gwen started.
Caspian awoke from his mental nap, blinking his eyes895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERXGEBNMdL
furiously under his round glasses. The boy didn’t even notice that Blue, Caleb,895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFZvV663UJ
and Lee had already arrived—and that Robbie ended up sitting beside him.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6olQfIB8En
Fortunately, he could still breathe. For now.
“I called all of you here today to discuss something really895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV4xqKaWIO
important-” she leans forward, fixing her posture- “though it may sound895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAE9CATgtc
extremely odd.”
“Ma’am,” said Lee. “Are we in trouble of some sort?”
All eight boys leaned closer, as if they were programmed to895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitXUlHkzEG
do this in sync. Their ears were open wide enough to fit a moth.
Their once fully composed principal smiled. “No. I’m sorry to895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gNE9QH9BL
disappoint you, Mister Emmet.”
All eight boys eased up. Lee sat back, pleased to hear the895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS049v5ZVwR
good news. A small phew was could be heard from Blue—that is, if you895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51xmA3qwlW
listened hard enough. You could hear familiar cuss words from Jax and Mason’s895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOl5jdST71
direction. Will, Robbie, and Caleb sighed for a good two seconds, thanking the895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf4dJePO8E
Lord’s Holy Name. And Caspian finally eased every inch of his body.
“Why?” their Principal asked. “Is there something you should895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkyflc47Sk
be in here for?”
“Nope,” Mason said immediately.
“Not that I know of… yet,” coming from Mason.
“Of course not. How could I?” babbled Lee.
“No, Ma’am,” Will said, shaking his head.
“…”: Caleb.
“Hopefully not,” Caspian muttered.
“I don’t think so…?” Robbie said slowly.
“Very funny, Miss Gwen,” chuckled Blue.
“Okay then good,” smiled Principal Gwen. “Because if there895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV4gX6IgLy
was, you’d still have to participate in this activity.”
“Activity?” blurted Blue.
“Yes,” Principal Gwen said enthusiastically—only in her voice895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcpEmXL8D1
though. “I would appreciate it if you eight would plan an event before this895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ogZ8j4XNA
school year’s prom. You know, to commemorate the graduation of the seniors.”
“But Ma’am,” Blue said, raising his hand.
“Yes, Blue?” Principal Gwen said, giving Blue permission to895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wUlqmWesZ
keep going.
“What makes this year’s seniors make you want to plan a huge895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr56jp3zjt
event for? (No offense.)” Blue continued.
We heard chuckles from some of the boys, knowing that Blue895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOYffol3H7
was referring to Will, the only senior in the room. He was a good sport who895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZzYB7BMmd
smiled it out and muttered, “c’mon, guys.”
Miss Gwen chuckled along with them. “Well, what’s also funny895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioMcMLf0On
is that we actually raised too much money for the yearly charity fund, and we895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HjIEzituY
couldn’t locate any other charities who were willing to accept the excess.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOp8c0KjPN
Plus, the school’s had a good year, so I didn’t think it would be necessary to895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg6Rb1JRNe
keep too much money on our hands.”
The boys go ooh because now they understand what’s895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E7MpJecQo
happening.
“So,” Caspian blurted out, absent-mindedly. “You gathered all895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhSZhrMjj9
eight of us randomly to plan a pre-prom party?”
He realized that all eyes were on him again. All eight pairs895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU1JRhInCC
of them.
“Uhm, yes,” their principal confirmed. “I like the sound of895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQxTYlzbvK
that. ‘Pre-Prom Party’. You boys already have something to call it.”
“Way ta go, Cassie!” Blue cheers enthusiastically.
All the other boys cheer as well, even Robbie—who was still895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uUCENRDJk
sitting beside him.
“Good job,” he whispered. “Caspian Grenfield.”
Hearing his name come out of Robbie like that made his face895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxLKoOmFto
grow warm. He put his palms on them, trying to hide his flustered face as he895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBo43YN1dW
muttered back a shaky “thanks” to everyone.
“Okay, okay,” Principal Gwen hushed. “Here are the forms895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnv7ais1eW
containing most of the other information you need to know, -“ she passed a pile895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGMNeMenIy
of white paper to each of the eight boys as she continued to explain. “-and the895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Dk2jvvCZ
reply slip your parents need to sign in order for you to-”
“‘Stay at an Airbnb for a week’?” read Lee from the form.
“Miss,” Mason started, confused. “What do you mean by that?”
“Don’t worry, you will be accompanied by Miss Leslie.”
…and now they were arriving at the Airbnb.
