To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

I woke up to see that I’d missed a lot of calls from Nicole. I groaned as I picked my phone up to call her back, knowing that she was going to give me an earful – one which I wasn’t prepared for just yet.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Hello.” I gorgily said into the phone while sleepily rubbing my eyes.

“Are you just getting up?” Nicole demanded, sounding bubbly and bright. “I stayed at the party all night long and I’m up already but you’re the one who’s still asleep.” She teased and I groaned again.

“I still want to go back to sleep.” I informed her, making her snort out another chuckle.

“I just wanted to ask if you got home fine and if the jerk didn’t try to do anything to you?” She asked and just like the question, did something woke me up so fast, I sprung up at once.

All the dizziness I was previously feeling had suddenly disappeared.

Realizing that she didn’t even know that the said jerk in question is the reason why I had arrived home safely last night, I began to explain it all to her. I told her about when Mason picked me up and how he had intentionally made sure my hand got stuck in the windowsill and how I’d also intentionally lied against him after we arrived home.

“Well at least he took you home and you were able to get your beauty sleep.” She commented and I scoffed.

“I couldn’t sleep.” I said through gritted teeth.

“Why?”

“Because the fool thought it would be a good idea to have sex in his bedroom. I’m not mad at the fact that he had fucked her brains out last night, cause frankly, I don’t care about he does in his privacy, but at the fact that they didn’t let me sleep is so annoying!” I snapped out in annoyance. I reached up and tugged off the headphones hanging around my neck, which I had worn to sleep last night.

“Was she that loud?” Nicole asked, sounding extremely curious.

“She was so fucking loud, and it was insanely loud because you know? His bedroom is next to mine. Frankly, I have no idea of what’s so special about the sex, which I’m sure was very mid.” I mumbled on an eyeroll.

“You say that like you’ve had sex before.” Nicole said on a sing-song tone which made me scowl even though my cheeks instantly heated up.

“Shut up, Nicole.” I mumbled, and as expected, she breathed out a laugh in response.

In desperation to change the topic, I began to speak almost immediately.

“What’s up? Did you get to enjoy the party?” I asked next, surprisingly succeeding in changing the topic.

As expected, Nicole didn’t waste time in delving into details as she spoke.

“Yes, I did,” she shrieked, “The game continued, got more intense and before I knew it, one thing led to the other and guess what?” She asked and I could already tell that her eyes were currently twinkling with excitement right now.

“What?” I asked, I was terrible at the guessing game and I knew I would do terrible if I did as little as attempt at guessing.

“Me and Ryan ended up having sex in the car!” She let out on a loud shriek that made me pull the phone away from my ear for a moment.

Sex in the car has been on her bucket list for months now, and I’m glad she’d finally cross that off her list.

But, what’s going on with everyone and car sex?!

“Thank goodness I didn’t stay behind. I don’t want to have to see two horny freaks fucking.” I said and Nicole laughed.

“Well, at least I’m not nineteen and still a virgin.” She teased back, making me roll my eyes.

“Shut up!” I snapped before hanging up the call.

I flopped back into the bed, staring at the chandelier as I slowly got lost in thoughts.

Sex is overrated.

And yes, I’m a nineteen year old virgin, because I haven’t found the perfect guy to do it with. Perhaps, one day, I’ll finally get to experience what sex actually feels like and what the entire fuss around sex is all about.

My phone chimed and I read Nicole’s message out loud as I let out a slight laugh.

‘Don’t forget our meeting at the coffee house.’

She’s my ride or die.

I walked to the window and pulled it open to let in the morning air in when I noticed something really funny.

It was the blonde scaling the fence, sneaking out.

Just how pathetic can someone be?

Scoffing, I closed the window and exited the bedroom, walking downstairs to pour myself a glass of milk. I made my way back to my room and I saw Mason outside his bedroom, but I chose to pointedly ignore him– until I felt a sharp pull on my arm.

I shot him an irritated look. “The fuck do you think you’re doing?” I demanded.

“You’re such a pussy for doing what you did last night. Telling on and lying against me at once? That was very low of you, Ava. What were you expecting? That I’d get grounded or something?” He demanded, looking at me like I was an inconvenience in his life right now.

Once he was done, I rolled my eyes for a moment.

“You’re a stupid dick for bringing a girl over and making so much noise while at it. I couldn’t sleep all night because of that!” I snapped as I yanked my hand from his grip.

“Just wait till your father actually gets to know about it because trust me, I will tell him.” I added on a sneer.

I turned around to leave but he roughly pulled me back once again, causing my milk to spill a little this time.

“You’re planning on reporting my father to himself, right? Cause, need I remind you that my father and your mother still have their hormones raging from being a newly weds, which is a perfect explanation for the moans you supposedly heard throughout the night?”

The anger inside of me began to grow as he continued. Yeah, the ones you heard last night? Must’ve been as a result of my dad giving it to your mother real hard.” He finished and that was it.

How dare he?

My blood boiled and I gritted my teeth against one another as I clenched my fist and instinctively, I lifted it to punch him but he dodged, making me trip and fall on my face, while the milk spilled beside me.

“Neither you, nor my dad can stop me from having sex because I’m not the one who’s nineteen between us, you are! I’m twenty one for fuck’s sake! You can go ahead and tell on me if you want to, that’s what you’re best at anyway.” He spat out, regarding me with a sneer.

“Fuck you, Mason.” I said from my spot on the ground which only made him snicker out a laugh.

“Let me guess, you’re going to blame me for tripping over fucking air, right? Dumb ass.” He continued and I flipped him off as I lifted off the ground, stifling a wince.

“And, if you dare attempt to tell on me again, trust that I’d make sure you regret doing that.” He said as he entered his bedroom and shut the door firmly after that.

No matter how stupid or barbaric he might be, I still needed him to drop me off at school today.

Which was why I attempted swallowing down my pride to ask him if he’d drop me off while leaving for school this morning as soon as he emerged from his bedroom moments later.

But, he only sneered at me as he responded.

“Well, you had better learn to start finding your way today because I sure as hell am not driving you to school today. You should’ve clearly thought about that before telling on me.” He hissed and I watched him walk away, not knowing what to say to that.

Perhaps he was right, I really should’ve thought about it thoroughly before ratting him out last night.
