Roads. They all just connect to each other to lead to a1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrlTKDlIaN
specific destination. It’s like you need to memorize a specific combination—or1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYPJRUT1mc
two—just to end up with an even more specific outcome. But how do we remember1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqdCNUarMi
the longest of combinations, like the one Ms. Sara Leslie had to memorize to1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvKlu4VHa6
get to the Airbnb she rented. The same Airbnb she was driving Caspian Grenfield1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyWJrQbPTY
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,1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dIWUZA24I
Robinson Wyatt, Lee Emmet, Caleb and William Otto, and Mason Emalia please1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBWGSHc6V2
report to the principal’s office right now?”
Caspian flinched upon hearing his name come out of their1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iaUW5C1Jg
school’s intercom. It was especially shocking to hear it along with those other1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOX5kQr1Qc
names. He was a bit terrified of the thought that he might’ve become a1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoWHDlm1ii
delinquent. I mean, yes, he is over exaggerating, but could you really1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TlLHJ88cz
blame him? He was one of those kids who always passed their homework on time1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjV5hg48Dd
and has never had a grade lower than above average. He was always avoiding1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWIV13kLBP
trouble wherever he went, and it just wasn’t normal to hear his name being used1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ysm4aAXR
along with all those others. Or at all.
He knew it must’ve been a mistake, so he ignored it and calmed1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8mxQPyeTe
himself down. Until the intercom called again.
Now this time, he knew it was real. His palms were damp, and1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHFTz59PBM
his legs shook. He looked and acted as if he was actually gonna face an1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn16wrfqO10
executioner than a principal. Little did he know that it was absolutely nothing1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr1ZjJDmm6
like that at all.
…
“You called to see me, Ma’am…?”
When Caspian peeped into the principal’s office, his stomach1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7hPlDBHQs
dropped. William Otto, Mason Emalia, and Jax Jackson stared at him, sitting on1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DdUTiPmEH
the three single armchairs along the side of the room. Their attention was1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuvBEkYRFG
consumed by his presence, and he didn’t like it.
William Otto was an Alpha, the kind that shows it without1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nqQYemoOE
effort at all. The doctors found out as soon as he was born—and that barely1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWlTegr2qH
even happens. When he was going through puberty, he went from 4’11 to 5’9 in1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4n1ys0phZ
less than three years. People thought that he was fifteen when he was actually1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbdEHvFLWK
just twelve. Now that he’s a senior, he stood at 6’2—and that’s why it’s quite1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G4QBqfxR7
difficult to walk through the halls now without getting so much attention.
Though Will looked like the kind of Alpha that could1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbUTwtGBw9
kill a Grizzly Bear, he didn’t act like it. Yes, he was tall, had broad1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhYMvrcfQG
shoulders, and had abs that could bite; but he wasn’t all that. He was1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDh20JM7zj
kind, compassionate, and really, really friendly. He was the type of guy1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zO4FtKN4A
you could depend on and talk to. He could work in groups of eight and make sure1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE3woQUQep
everyone had a job to do—and you wouldn’t feel the pressure of doing too much1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WN9CR73wq
work. He was a sensitive giant, a large teddy bear. That was kind of why he was1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhym9zTUmUl
the student body president.
Mason Emalia was the Star Player of their basketball team.1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f8d4hpVuL
Though his performance at school wasn’t the best, he’d always make it up to you1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0rLDbp3Et
on the court. He was a ruthless player and a worthy opponent. The only thing1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7BSAQaEG1
you could beat him at was chess. Jeez, he hated chess.
And finally, Jax Jackson, the mischief. He was the definition1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGXOocSH1g
of “gay and ready to play”—it’s true, he’s the one who made it. Though nobody1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9gwNZW0el
really knew where he landed on the spectrum, everyone at school knew that he1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbbTjC5sxM
was only interested in men. All the girls would ever hear about him were, “I1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB88Slj1YpR
don’t know why, but he was amazing in bed,” and the like. There was even a1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NyOT2Knc5
rumor the spread like wildfire about him being able to get into their science1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KT1469NBk
teacher’s pants—who was at least forty years old for your information.
Seeing all these boys here made Caspian feel so small, as if1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiro8RWwbzU
he was just a puny ant who could get stepped on in any minute. It terrified him1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr5A3xlUD6
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,”1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfJt4MNbz4
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 other1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FyLOc01dU
boys who watched his every move (But that was what Caspian thought. They were1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5dtcMovCH
actually just bored out of their minds right now.)
They silently waited. All they could ever hear was the1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEzy43kWbM
tapping of their Principal’s computer keys. Tik, tik, tik, they went.
Finally, the silence was broken when someone opened the door.1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SFWc8UTZA
Another one of the eight boys who were beckoned by their intercom. And who1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpIcxnnW0A
exactly? None other than Robinson Wyatt, Caspian’s one and only childhood1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu9KZpP6BM
crush.
They weren’t close when Caspian first saw him, but he thought1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSrxMqPsFT
that Robbie was… cool. He watched him play around in the playground from a1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkz9Du6XQk
distance but never found the courage to actually talk to him. He was too afraid1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPFSL2umdS
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 Alpha1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ1BuGOPyd
and that just made things more confusing for him. He couldn’t understand why1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRga28E0tx
his face would heat up or why his heart skipped a beat when Robbie passed him.1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBF8UtdM8y
It was a weird feeling that forced him to grin for no reason. Soon, he found1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiqYqaUrDA
out that it was Love.
“Okay,” Principal Gwen started.
Caspian awoke from his mental nap, blinking his eyes1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ25BQsumF
furiously under his round glasses. The boy didn’t even notice that Blue, Caleb,1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdzH9Kv4c5
and Lee had already arrived—and that Robbie ended up sitting beside him.1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalFvukMhfn
Fortunately, he could still breathe. For now.
“I called all of you here today to discuss something really1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8A8r51hfg
important-” she leans forward, fixing her posture- “though it may sound1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxLylGEFEA
extremely odd.”
“Ma’am,” said Lee. “Are we in trouble of some sort?”
All eight boys leaned closer, as if they were programmed to1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrDYR2OzNL
do this in sync. Their ears were open wide enough to fit a moth.
Their once fully composed principal smiled. “No. I’m sorry to1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCLI3foXEJ
disappoint you, Mister Emmet.”
All eight boys eased up. Lee sat back, pleased to hear the1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0DN92sP80
good news. A small phew was could be heard from Blue—that is, if you1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IyBPVZ3mh
listened hard enough. You could hear familiar cuss words from Jax and Mason’s1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VLp6LqqT0
direction. Will, Robbie, and Caleb sighed for a good two seconds, thanking the1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrv2wIu2Yq
Lord’s Holy Name. And Caspian finally eased every inch of his body.
“Why?” their Principal asked. “Is there something you should1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQi1byg6RW
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 there1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGjlmExFHV
was, you’d still have to participate in this activity.”
“Activity?” blurted Blue.
“Yes,” Principal Gwen said enthusiastically—only in her voice1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RxAcPF5ec
though. “I would appreciate it if you eight would plan an event before this1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuuP5exMfx
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 to1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxquEzUisdV
keep going.
“What makes this year’s seniors make you want to plan a huge1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHga3NSxJk
event for? (No offense.)” Blue continued.
We heard chuckles from some of the boys, knowing that Blue1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1xNj2lxTr
was referring to Will, the only senior in the room. He was a good sport who1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn1ampEU1F
smiled it out and muttered, “c’mon, guys.”
Miss Gwen chuckled along with them. “Well, what’s also funny1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTh4xEWF3x
is that we actually raised too much money for the yearly charity fund, and we1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQm8hhlhcu
couldn’t locate any other charities who were willing to accept the excess.1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qk8VE1AUk
Plus, the school’s had a good year, so I didn’t think it would be necessary to1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGXOQrDIRD
keep too much money on our hands.”
The boys go ooh because now they understand what’s1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2LdjZkH2U
happening.
“So,” Caspian blurted out, absent-mindedly. “You gathered all1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHosQGCNcOX
eight of us randomly to plan a pre-prom party?”
He realized that all eyes were on him again. All eight pairs1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiwIVHAdkT
of them.
“Uhm, yes,” their principal confirmed. “I like the sound of1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkExtR5CG7
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 still1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBcprVZbOV
sitting beside him.
“Good job,” he whispered. “Caspian Grenfield.”
Hearing his name come out of Robbie like that made his face1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7jtgGlebw
grow warm. He put his palms on them, trying to hide his flustered face as he1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6fCICLsKU
muttered back a shaky “thanks” to everyone.
“Okay, okay,” Principal Gwen hushed. “Here are the forms1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHocx9BVCRV
containing most of the other information you need to know, -“ she passed a pile1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRFD1Rvh7P
of white paper to each of the eight boys as she continued to explain. “-and the1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ssk2hONIR
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.
