Roads. They all just connect to each other to lead to a1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeBhQeT48b
specific destination. It’s like you need to memorize a specific combination—or1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ug8Z9fohL
two—just to end up with an even more specific outcome. But how do we remember1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs7ng9BAYn
the longest of combinations, like the one Ms. Sara Leslie had to memorize to1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgYJWjDcR5
get to the Airbnb she rented. The same Airbnb she was driving Caspian Grenfield1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyZALD483l
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,1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkIL0N8IC1
Robinson Wyatt, Lee Emmet, Caleb and William Otto, and Mason Emalia please1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHD4FOfc8B
report to the principal’s office right now?”
Caspian flinched upon hearing his name come out of their1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnIYKjjkIS
school’s intercom. It was especially shocking to hear it along with those other1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNe2ibGzLm
names. He was a bit terrified of the thought that he might’ve become a1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQHvb7jpzB
delinquent. I mean, yes, he is over exaggerating, but could you really1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67SOuEOjRj
blame him? He was one of those kids who always passed their homework on time1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYrb5RanBc
and has never had a grade lower than above average. He was always avoiding1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTkIWfIDD9
trouble wherever he went, and it just wasn’t normal to hear his name being used1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fIbFvYbrp
along with all those others. Or at all.
He knew it must’ve been a mistake, so he ignored it and calmed1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdOHvCwRhS
himself down. Until the intercom called again.
Now this time, he knew it was real. His palms were damp, and1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IfqIW3tL4
his legs shook. He looked and acted as if he was actually gonna face an1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2Esk5O5Z3
executioner than a principal. Little did he know that it was absolutely nothing1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZgeEHpELK
like that at all.
…
“You called to see me, Ma’am…?”
When Caspian peeped into the principal’s office, his stomach1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgF3sDdPmj
dropped. William Otto, Mason Emalia, and Jax Jackson stared at him, sitting on1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbzFIby3jF
the three single armchairs along the side of the room. Their attention was1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz9TUCfpx5
consumed by his presence, and he didn’t like it.
William Otto was an Alpha, the kind that shows it without1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vftUASApV
effort at all. The doctors found out as soon as he was born—and that barely1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBoW6Voca7
even happens. When he was going through puberty, he went from 4’11 to 5’9 in1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwNXwUhvge
less than three years. People thought that he was fifteen when he was actually1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk7CjPrNgH
just twelve. Now that he’s a senior, he stood at 6’2—and that’s why it’s quite1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW7LtTuUAy
difficult to walk through the halls now without getting so much attention.
Though Will looked like the kind of Alpha that could1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4HH0gUUBO
kill a Grizzly Bear, he didn’t act like it. Yes, he was tall, had broad1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPuyxcI3qi
shoulders, and had abs that could bite; but he wasn’t all that. He was1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8CgdkZS4T
kind, compassionate, and really, really friendly. He was the type of guy1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXClzC2Y4qJ
you could depend on and talk to. He could work in groups of eight and make sure1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NjdNJljjO
everyone had a job to do—and you wouldn’t feel the pressure of doing too much1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg1ZZdiIQz
work. He was a sensitive giant, a large teddy bear. That was kind of why he was1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxWvmXdVxa
the student body president.
Mason Emalia was the Star Player of their basketball team.1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7NTuDWW5s
Though his performance at school wasn’t the best, he’d always make it up to you1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyVWEZ0c86
on the court. He was a ruthless player and a worthy opponent. The only thing1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFGV7dqUHu
you could beat him at was chess. Jeez, he hated chess.
And finally, Jax Jackson, the mischief. He was the definition1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymWQNDtzfj
of “gay and ready to play”—it’s true, he’s the one who made it. Though nobody1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgkWoMabC4
really knew where he landed on the spectrum, everyone at school knew that he1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGizI4xEJa
was only interested in men. All the girls would ever hear about him were, “I1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vG8wsya2B
don’t know why, but he was amazing in bed,” and the like. There was even a1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3VXsgYYrA
rumor the spread like wildfire about him being able to get into their science1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIDn9YRDwV
teacher’s pants—who was at least forty years old for your information.
Seeing all these boys here made Caspian feel so small, as if1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg48qkEkeZ
he was just a puny ant who could get stepped on in any minute. It terrified him1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCOmSFrYEm
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,”1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlYcrS8xGA
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 other1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxRRAkCOCP
boys who watched his every move (But that was what Caspian thought. They were1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTZevOdbQ5
actually just bored out of their minds right now.)
They silently waited. All they could ever hear was the1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoowrd4f6F
tapping of their Principal’s computer keys. Tik, tik, tik, they went.
Finally, the silence was broken when someone opened the door.1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2GU5J8LPa
Another one of the eight boys who were beckoned by their intercom. And who1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUof2SMQAj2
exactly? None other than Robinson Wyatt, Caspian’s one and only childhood1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ZZbJ91JA
crush.
They weren’t close when Caspian first saw him, but he thought1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5s5CvGrpe
that Robbie was… cool. He watched him play around in the playground from a1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIaSciivB5
distance but never found the courage to actually talk to him. He was too afraid1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgQOvj6qzy
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 Alpha1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx9QrBiJTU
and that just made things more confusing for him. He couldn’t understand why1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnhRsLAeHI
his face would heat up or why his heart skipped a beat when Robbie passed him.1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtrD16Yza1
It was a weird feeling that forced him to grin for no reason. Soon, he found1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASWM1P6tMZ
out that it was Love.
“Okay,” Principal Gwen started.
Caspian awoke from his mental nap, blinking his eyes1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0K2BPRuIf
furiously under his round glasses. The boy didn’t even notice that Blue, Caleb,1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfiWpOQ45v
and Lee had already arrived—and that Robbie ended up sitting beside him.1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZi5UaiRPw
Fortunately, he could still breathe. For now.
“I called all of you here today to discuss something really1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtXYLnZwmv
important-” she leans forward, fixing her posture- “though it may sound1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl09xlIr37W
extremely odd.”
“Ma’am,” said Lee. “Are we in trouble of some sort?”
All eight boys leaned closer, as if they were programmed to1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3hON65z6G
do this in sync. Their ears were open wide enough to fit a moth.
Their once fully composed principal smiled. “No. I’m sorry to1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnZqB9O5cz
disappoint you, Mister Emmet.”
All eight boys eased up. Lee sat back, pleased to hear the1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirLlXvOxRJ
good news. A small phew was could be heard from Blue—that is, if you1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjz0e07hkM
listened hard enough. You could hear familiar cuss words from Jax and Mason’s1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctEfs4qpO0
direction. Will, Robbie, and Caleb sighed for a good two seconds, thanking the1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCsP4SG8G0
Lord’s Holy Name. And Caspian finally eased every inch of his body.
“Why?” their Principal asked. “Is there something you should1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF0MuDjAvT
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 there1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboXJineCqU
was, you’d still have to participate in this activity.”
“Activity?” blurted Blue.
“Yes,” Principal Gwen said enthusiastically—only in her voice1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fZq7TKrlq
though. “I would appreciate it if you eight would plan an event before this1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGU7CkiTIz
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 to1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK7Rqo9w7A
keep going.
“What makes this year’s seniors make you want to plan a huge1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT1VeHcc7y
event for? (No offense.)” Blue continued.
We heard chuckles from some of the boys, knowing that Blue1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR94LuAJxxM
was referring to Will, the only senior in the room. He was a good sport who1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxCJPXlUY7
smiled it out and muttered, “c’mon, guys.”
Miss Gwen chuckled along with them. “Well, what’s also funny1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPrGomaSA0
is that we actually raised too much money for the yearly charity fund, and we1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyJZ44ZsTk
couldn’t locate any other charities who were willing to accept the excess.1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2XvRC4fwl
Plus, the school’s had a good year, so I didn’t think it would be necessary to1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Ei5kCwJV
keep too much money on our hands.”
The boys go ooh because now they understand what’s1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOtdkcqOPC
happening.
“So,” Caspian blurted out, absent-mindedly. “You gathered all1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpfwbbfVhf
eight of us randomly to plan a pre-prom party?”
He realized that all eyes were on him again. All eight pairs1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL68LoRRnHu
of them.
“Uhm, yes,” their principal confirmed. “I like the sound of1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdknF2H93DQ
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 still1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8DqAQVdNc
sitting beside him.
“Good job,” he whispered. “Caspian Grenfield.”
Hearing his name come out of Robbie like that made his face1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN0EhspyzC
grow warm. He put his palms on them, trying to hide his flustered face as he1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxH10zmCwa
muttered back a shaky “thanks” to everyone.
“Okay, okay,” Principal Gwen hushed. “Here are the forms1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrpNVgVa0R
containing most of the other information you need to know, -“ she passed a pile1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3HBSRQI2j
of white paper to each of the eight boys as she continued to explain. “-and the1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIdADIYcIU
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.
