Roads. They all just connect to each other to lead to a938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F40W4zDIx
specific destination. It’s like you need to memorize a specific combination—or938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvOnnjNr0V
two—just to end up with an even more specific outcome. But how do we remember938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWbUUD4yI4
the longest of combinations, like the one Ms. Sara Leslie had to memorize to938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZY2aIcluU
get to the Airbnb she rented. The same Airbnb she was driving Caspian Grenfield938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYqZM18xWf
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,938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXnLRUIv4v
Robinson Wyatt, Lee Emmet, Caleb and William Otto, and Mason Emalia please938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHJT8MeWHj
report to the principal’s office right now?”
Caspian flinched upon hearing his name come out of their938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkQLKumtJw
school’s intercom. It was especially shocking to hear it along with those other938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZDlotIug3
names. He was a bit terrified of the thought that he might’ve become a938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccT3FmWrxO
delinquent. I mean, yes, he is over exaggerating, but could you really938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXX4C7YtVa
blame him? He was one of those kids who always passed their homework on time938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3W3b47FvK
and has never had a grade lower than above average. He was always avoiding938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCCjVq1cHI
trouble wherever he went, and it just wasn’t normal to hear his name being used938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XgJsbiQiL
along with all those others. Or at all.
He knew it must’ve been a mistake, so he ignored it and calmed938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yCHRFnVZw
himself down. Until the intercom called again.
Now this time, he knew it was real. His palms were damp, and938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZlMbEL6hV
his legs shook. He looked and acted as if he was actually gonna face an938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLGDZ053RK
executioner than a principal. Little did he know that it was absolutely nothing938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxJAqFox1D
like that at all.
…
“You called to see me, Ma’am…?”
When Caspian peeped into the principal’s office, his stomach938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy7V0g0Faz
dropped. William Otto, Mason Emalia, and Jax Jackson stared at him, sitting on938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEPPG5dcLW
the three single armchairs along the side of the room. Their attention was938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu1reGnFux
consumed by his presence, and he didn’t like it.
William Otto was an Alpha, the kind that shows it without938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi6qf8okc2
effort at all. The doctors found out as soon as he was born—and that barely938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTyMVZRUb3
even happens. When he was going through puberty, he went from 4’11 to 5’9 in938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xMNxTdGup
less than three years. People thought that he was fifteen when he was actually938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFHSEcMMU1
just twelve. Now that he’s a senior, he stood at 6’2—and that’s why it’s quite938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDJ4evFDVZ
difficult to walk through the halls now without getting so much attention.
Though Will looked like the kind of Alpha that could938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYk8g5616i
kill a Grizzly Bear, he didn’t act like it. Yes, he was tall, had broad938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EFzMRfh8z
shoulders, and had abs that could bite; but he wasn’t all that. He was938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFehGbAJD3f
kind, compassionate, and really, really friendly. He was the type of guy938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6EF3sTfoR
you could depend on and talk to. He could work in groups of eight and make sure938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEmdGqxCiB
everyone had a job to do—and you wouldn’t feel the pressure of doing too much938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVMCspoBHu
work. He was a sensitive giant, a large teddy bear. That was kind of why he was938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AQDzdu1LA
the student body president.
Mason Emalia was the Star Player of their basketball team.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHEzVDrnAk
Though his performance at school wasn’t the best, he’d always make it up to you938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjwlFDtwUr
on the court. He was a ruthless player and a worthy opponent. The only thing938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCZQVaTieH
you could beat him at was chess. Jeez, he hated chess.
And finally, Jax Jackson, the mischief. He was the definition938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9iE6nJhbi
of “gay and ready to play”—it’s true, he’s the one who made it. Though nobody938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcv6FUxGuI
really knew where he landed on the spectrum, everyone at school knew that he938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e0vgJuAWr
was only interested in men. All the girls would ever hear about him were, “I938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8sLhmkzBc
don’t know why, but he was amazing in bed,” and the like. There was even a938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pQTknvYYW
rumor the spread like wildfire about him being able to get into their science938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX5NFBmMXI
teacher’s pants—who was at least forty years old for your information.
Seeing all these boys here made Caspian feel so small, as if938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuYThZacDR
he was just a puny ant who could get stepped on in any minute. It terrified him938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFPEdcjGjt
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,”938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzua7rfbO9Q
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 other938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU2EQGRYcc
boys who watched his every move (But that was what Caspian thought. They were938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ug89O5nPX
actually just bored out of their minds right now.)
They silently waited. All they could ever hear was the938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRlVEfLwri
tapping of their Principal’s computer keys. Tik, tik, tik, they went.
Finally, the silence was broken when someone opened the door.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsFvPm2auG
Another one of the eight boys who were beckoned by their intercom. And who938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BV3AnyI1U
exactly? None other than Robinson Wyatt, Caspian’s one and only childhood938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgp58AVekQ
crush.
They weren’t close when Caspian first saw him, but he thought938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vskeWc2JN
that Robbie was… cool. He watched him play around in the playground from a938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ050ZXTuz85
distance but never found the courage to actually talk to him. He was too afraid938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkdSRL9QbR
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 Alpha938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EDJh3pAUy
and that just made things more confusing for him. He couldn’t understand why938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kkSWgoozs
his face would heat up or why his heart skipped a beat when Robbie passed him.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEj8Q71qSA
It was a weird feeling that forced him to grin for no reason. Soon, he found938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwnNdVYH6N
out that it was Love.
“Okay,” Principal Gwen started.
Caspian awoke from his mental nap, blinking his eyes938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqLSNTK7C6
furiously under his round glasses. The boy didn’t even notice that Blue, Caleb,938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgzA0vdzVX
and Lee had already arrived—and that Robbie ended up sitting beside him.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmTQIXfyi3
Fortunately, he could still breathe. For now.
“I called all of you here today to discuss something really938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQHx6mw1pu
important-” she leans forward, fixing her posture- “though it may sound938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ0vg51S5K
extremely odd.”
“Ma’am,” said Lee. “Are we in trouble of some sort?”
All eight boys leaned closer, as if they were programmed to938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGnMCrljM7
do this in sync. Their ears were open wide enough to fit a moth.
Their once fully composed principal smiled. “No. I’m sorry to938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUrm6hcHaL
disappoint you, Mister Emmet.”
All eight boys eased up. Lee sat back, pleased to hear the938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIR8YQmVwL
good news. A small phew was could be heard from Blue—that is, if you938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc3TXVMkAL
listened hard enough. You could hear familiar cuss words from Jax and Mason’s938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RxcJy6RFv
direction. Will, Robbie, and Caleb sighed for a good two seconds, thanking the938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U5JkkdtJ1
Lord’s Holy Name. And Caspian finally eased every inch of his body.
“Why?” their Principal asked. “Is there something you should938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQZPIsHYze
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 there938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0708Tgz7k
was, you’d still have to participate in this activity.”
“Activity?” blurted Blue.
“Yes,” Principal Gwen said enthusiastically—only in her voice938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83qpCGZgFE
though. “I would appreciate it if you eight would plan an event before this938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJKC13A9pL
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 to938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZiOhZDDPA
keep going.
“What makes this year’s seniors make you want to plan a huge938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u4EFJlVHF
event for? (No offense.)” Blue continued.
We heard chuckles from some of the boys, knowing that Blue938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqyNKzbVrb
was referring to Will, the only senior in the room. He was a good sport who938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCHSt9KSeS
smiled it out and muttered, “c’mon, guys.”
Miss Gwen chuckled along with them. “Well, what’s also funny938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtZlM3cMer
is that we actually raised too much money for the yearly charity fund, and we938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9q4NdYoTE
couldn’t locate any other charities who were willing to accept the excess.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffh6xqAzN1
Plus, the school’s had a good year, so I didn’t think it would be necessary to938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb8cDYYRhn
keep too much money on our hands.”
The boys go ooh because now they understand what’s938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsijBqtL4is
happening.
“So,” Caspian blurted out, absent-mindedly. “You gathered all938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnN30SpoeN
eight of us randomly to plan a pre-prom party?”
He realized that all eyes were on him again. All eight pairs938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCR9e6gKAr
of them.
“Uhm, yes,” their principal confirmed. “I like the sound of938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRmsu2wOwd
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 still938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXye6oAdbW
sitting beside him.
“Good job,” he whispered. “Caspian Grenfield.”
Hearing his name come out of Robbie like that made his face938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2jLpN26jl
grow warm. He put his palms on them, trying to hide his flustered face as he938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHYK3YRSa7
muttered back a shaky “thanks” to everyone.
“Okay, okay,” Principal Gwen hushed. “Here are the forms938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghuhlCGWhI
containing most of the other information you need to know, -“ she passed a pile938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpwnXUcAxB
of white paper to each of the eight boys as she continued to explain. “-and the938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLWvBTElUc
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.
