Roads. They all just connect to each other to lead to a825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoiVF2m1q2
specific destination. It’s like you need to memorize a specific combination—or825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLPQBPsnV5
two—just to end up with an even more specific outcome. But how do we remember825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VH6TakrKk
the longest of combinations, like the one Ms. Sara Leslie had to memorize to825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9yid5vtx2
get to the Airbnb she rented. The same Airbnb she was driving Caspian Grenfield825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8P3hRav8H
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,825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUEPJPua0B
Robinson Wyatt, Lee Emmet, Caleb and William Otto, and Mason Emalia please825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvGprAWlwN
report to the principal’s office right now?”
Caspian flinched upon hearing his name come out of their825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaTEhs7cPu
school’s intercom. It was especially shocking to hear it along with those other825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgDGehcsUT
names. He was a bit terrified of the thought that he might’ve become a825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqr2btkerx
delinquent. I mean, yes, he is over exaggerating, but could you really825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUWooRvjXq
blame him? He was one of those kids who always passed their homework on time825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBn7aSImQ7
and has never had a grade lower than above average. He was always avoiding825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLsdBRWCUJ
trouble wherever he went, and it just wasn’t normal to hear his name being used825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEM8KLnupQ
along with all those others. Or at all.
He knew it must’ve been a mistake, so he ignored it and calmed825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakabwekopD
himself down. Until the intercom called again.
Now this time, he knew it was real. His palms were damp, and825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn4EQwqeRy
his legs shook. He looked and acted as if he was actually gonna face an825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB4ods9uyO
executioner than a principal. Little did he know that it was absolutely nothing825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCq6sEy0AQ
like that at all.
…
“You called to see me, Ma’am…?”
When Caspian peeped into the principal’s office, his stomach825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ckQgvlKz9
dropped. William Otto, Mason Emalia, and Jax Jackson stared at him, sitting on825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs8E7pPZt9
the three single armchairs along the side of the room. Their attention was825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuktOqW6aW
consumed by his presence, and he didn’t like it.
William Otto was an Alpha, the kind that shows it without825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPJFKcYvdL
effort at all. The doctors found out as soon as he was born—and that barely825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdmSszh1SQ
even happens. When he was going through puberty, he went from 4’11 to 5’9 in825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SOakZq6Xk
less than three years. People thought that he was fifteen when he was actually825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkkzABZB5y
just twelve. Now that he’s a senior, he stood at 6’2—and that’s why it’s quite825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIwYc90wWt
difficult to walk through the halls now without getting so much attention.
Though Will looked like the kind of Alpha that could825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTycwsrSiqC
kill a Grizzly Bear, he didn’t act like it. Yes, he was tall, had broad825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCSnyXHbMn
shoulders, and had abs that could bite; but he wasn’t all that. He was825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPIyJjsMzK
kind, compassionate, and really, really friendly. He was the type of guy825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSM1rNkohK
you could depend on and talk to. He could work in groups of eight and make sure825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94LdV2zMe0
everyone had a job to do—and you wouldn’t feel the pressure of doing too much825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqIa4ebu7h
work. He was a sensitive giant, a large teddy bear. That was kind of why he was825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjb0bktvya
the student body president.
Mason Emalia was the Star Player of their basketball team.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv9WXIiW2c
Though his performance at school wasn’t the best, he’d always make it up to you825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkZQrOKn5R
on the court. He was a ruthless player and a worthy opponent. The only thing825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rzEzwy3pC
you could beat him at was chess. Jeez, he hated chess.
And finally, Jax Jackson, the mischief. He was the definition825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXE06sZt1h
of “gay and ready to play”—it’s true, he’s the one who made it. Though nobody825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTKNM54A7x
really knew where he landed on the spectrum, everyone at school knew that he825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6gN95jdxc
was only interested in men. All the girls would ever hear about him were, “I825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4b3Qu4If7
don’t know why, but he was amazing in bed,” and the like. There was even a825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvztyEXLw34
rumor the spread like wildfire about him being able to get into their science825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvZyy3LcxA
teacher’s pants—who was at least forty years old for your information.
Seeing all these boys here made Caspian feel so small, as if825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmef30jeic
he was just a puny ant who could get stepped on in any minute. It terrified him825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtlCo50sTZ
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,”825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OZZpWj5ce
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 other825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaebvuFQCvT
boys who watched his every move (But that was what Caspian thought. They were825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bsd8aFaup
actually just bored out of their minds right now.)
They silently waited. All they could ever hear was the825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKaaT6sxfr
tapping of their Principal’s computer keys. Tik, tik, tik, they went.
Finally, the silence was broken when someone opened the door.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfRuf4IULG
Another one of the eight boys who were beckoned by their intercom. And who825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KHGbcXGN3
exactly? None other than Robinson Wyatt, Caspian’s one and only childhood825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtLRIp3Oel
crush.
They weren’t close when Caspian first saw him, but he thought825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2PCQi21PD
that Robbie was… cool. He watched him play around in the playground from a825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65cOKd4BVQ
distance but never found the courage to actually talk to him. He was too afraid825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwpl5v9Ute
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 Alpha825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp8zZyJERQ
and that just made things more confusing for him. He couldn’t understand why825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCU3kuZ3mN
his face would heat up or why his heart skipped a beat when Robbie passed him.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKVKwqXYVC
It was a weird feeling that forced him to grin for no reason. Soon, he found825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zSYk66leG
out that it was Love.
“Okay,” Principal Gwen started.
Caspian awoke from his mental nap, blinking his eyes825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgiooNTfiz
furiously under his round glasses. The boy didn’t even notice that Blue, Caleb,825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYuGz27xWV
and Lee had already arrived—and that Robbie ended up sitting beside him.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0N77RZbMQ
Fortunately, he could still breathe. For now.
“I called all of you here today to discuss something really825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVavO67WfOM
important-” she leans forward, fixing her posture- “though it may sound825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLqBHSMqH1
extremely odd.”
“Ma’am,” said Lee. “Are we in trouble of some sort?”
All eight boys leaned closer, as if they were programmed to825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SUA9Gz1Zw
do this in sync. Their ears were open wide enough to fit a moth.
Their once fully composed principal smiled. “No. I’m sorry to825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHuR2HPGKx
disappoint you, Mister Emmet.”
All eight boys eased up. Lee sat back, pleased to hear the825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AP1TpW3gO
good news. A small phew was could be heard from Blue—that is, if you825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg41cQIUpHP
listened hard enough. You could hear familiar cuss words from Jax and Mason’s825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYXd22jaKN
direction. Will, Robbie, and Caleb sighed for a good two seconds, thanking the825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqzA7vOaKZ
Lord’s Holy Name. And Caspian finally eased every inch of his body.
“Why?” their Principal asked. “Is there something you should825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZSTjuQGA1
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 there825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3LIcp2Xjg
was, you’d still have to participate in this activity.”
“Activity?” blurted Blue.
“Yes,” Principal Gwen said enthusiastically—only in her voice825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIYpDZPk7r
though. “I would appreciate it if you eight would plan an event before this825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsRuBZMu5f
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 to825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoQUZyduHG
keep going.
“What makes this year’s seniors make you want to plan a huge825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKZf26z6b6
event for? (No offense.)” Blue continued.
We heard chuckles from some of the boys, knowing that Blue825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtuq5XJkTI
was referring to Will, the only senior in the room. He was a good sport who825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ343PILGIpd
smiled it out and muttered, “c’mon, guys.”
Miss Gwen chuckled along with them. “Well, what’s also funny825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WMfzHaMlR
is that we actually raised too much money for the yearly charity fund, and we825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EQ61CGVt7
couldn’t locate any other charities who were willing to accept the excess.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIQym790Oi
Plus, the school’s had a good year, so I didn’t think it would be necessary to825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZytvaWCkO
keep too much money on our hands.”
The boys go ooh because now they understand what’s825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAKPMEanWy
happening.
“So,” Caspian blurted out, absent-mindedly. “You gathered all825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAUZj4OgOd
eight of us randomly to plan a pre-prom party?”
He realized that all eyes were on him again. All eight pairs825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDhUvt9ZJI
of them.
“Uhm, yes,” their principal confirmed. “I like the sound of825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TCjvfIqhD
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 still825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnbIrojGF8
sitting beside him.
“Good job,” he whispered. “Caspian Grenfield.”
Hearing his name come out of Robbie like that made his face825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM1HZ8WYyg
grow warm. He put his palms on them, trying to hide his flustered face as he825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQHvJbqw0E
muttered back a shaky “thanks” to everyone.
“Okay, okay,” Principal Gwen hushed. “Here are the forms825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNymOrMEiV
containing most of the other information you need to know, -“ she passed a pile825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHkeEuesR8
of white paper to each of the eight boys as she continued to explain. “-and the825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yddjN3n95
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.
