Parasound Ch. 02

Lex hit send on the text she just finished typing to Nick. She wasn't normally the type of gal to sit on her phone in situations like this, waiting for class to start. She also wasn't the type of gal to be early to class like this either but people change. More often than not, it was people who changed people and in this case, Nick was changing her. And for the better, she thought.

A few months ago, Lex fell head over heels for Nick. They were inseparable. She used to be so careless with who she spent her time with and how, with no regard for her safety. Nick made her feel safe. He still made her excited and there was no end of that in sight. For the first time ever, she was with someone she felt comfortable with. Her habit of sleeping around vanished overnight and she thought about him constantly. She thought about having dinner with him and watching Netflix with him and just driving around in the car with him.

Right now in particular she was thinking about the sex they had in his car right before he dropped her off. She leaned forward out of her chair just enough to pull her skirt down a bit more. Yeah, he was pretty fuckin' good at that too. He was so hot the butterflies in her stomach were gettin' busy.

She finally put her phone down after Nick told her that he clocked in at work. She took a look around at her fellow English Lit classmates. There was a tall, lanky boy telling a story to three girls who were absolutely enthralled to hear about his favorite albums of the year. She figured at least two of them were more interested in what was under his shorts than his thoughts on the latest Kendrick Lamar album and considered herself lucky to not have to feign interest like that anymore. She looked over her shoulder at a girl with blue-dyed hair playing a Nintendo Switch in the back of the classroom. A half smile flashed across her face as she thought of Billie.

She turned back around and saw two short, stocky guys playing with a paper football. Sitting next to them was someone she knew from high school. Mitch. He was a big guy. Standing somewhere over six feet tall, he had weight to him. She guessed a little over half of it was muscle, but he definitely didn't have to work to get those big hands. Genetics did most of the heavy lifting there. All that body mass, topped off by an unflattering short buzz cut on his head.

Lex found him repulsive. Not for his looks though. He was by all accounts a pretty average looking man but it was his personality that made her drier than the Sahara. He was the kind of guy who was always looking for approval from the popular crowd at school but never got it, ended up being the butt of the joke more than anything. He was insecure, always trying to act tough to mask it. It was foul. He was foul. And the icing on the cake? She knew, she knew he was the one really dragging this Kay-Hole bullshit to Waldon. She would walk over and kick him in the balls right now if she didn't already know that it would just make Kate more anxious. But it would and so she didn't.

Kate. She probably wouldn't be in till right when class started. She hated hearing these dickheads whispering about her. She felt upset for her friend but knew there was only so much she could do.

Lex didn't realize how long she was staring at the three boys until Mitch turned to meet her gaze and gave her a wink and a big dumb smirk. She retaliated by leaning her head over the side of her desk and pretending to vomit and giving an exaggerated middle finger to him. The two shorter guys next to him laughed and Mitch turned away from her, his face turning a slight reddish hue.

That's enough people watching for today, she decided. Not worth spending time on anymore if they weren't Nick or Billie or Kate. She opened up her messages as she heard a few more people shuffling into the classroom and sent a text to Kate.

Lex: wya girlie

Lex: miss ya <3

She looked up from her phone after the texts showed as 'Delivered' and what she saw she could hardly believe. Kate walked in the door. Early. And even more surprising, she was showing skin.

From the day she and Billie told Kate about the rumors, Kate's wardrobe changed dramatically. She used to wear cute little outfits like any other senior in high school, but in what Lex saw as an attempt to un-sexualize herself completely, Kate started wearing all loose-fitting clothing. Sweatpants, sweaters, crewnecks, big cotton t-shirts and the occasional pair of loose shorts. She wanted to disappear in people's eyes.

Something changed. Today Kate walked into the classroom wearing a dark blue high neck tank top, showing off her shoulders. Around her waist was a flowing white skirt that ran just to her mid thighs, and rounding out her outfit was a white pair of ankle-high chucks on her feet. Her hair was up in a bun with curtain bangs on both sides of her face and in front of her eyes was a pair of large round tortoiseshell sunglasses.

Loose fitting clothes were never really enough to hide Kate's looks. Even with her titties still fully covered up, she looked like a smoke show. A fuckin' 10/10. She felt so proud of her friend that she could cry and it took everything in her to not make a huge deal about it, but she didn't want to make Kate any more uncomfortable. So she held it in, replacing it with a huge grin plastered across her face as her friend walked towards her. Lex couldn't help but notice her hips swaying as she moved. What the hell happened?

Out of the corner of her eyes she saw the heads of Mitch and the other two boys with him swivel as she walked past them, eyes planted firmly on her friend's ass. She decided it was best to ignore it.

Kate walked through the classroom, her swaying hips drawing the eyes of anyone who dared a look. Behind her tortoiseshell sunglasses she surveyed the room. Looking for who was willing to bite. She had some idea before she even walked in the door, but being spontaneous was in the cards. After taking mental note of the eyes that were glued to her she took a seat next to Lex and swapped out to her regular glasses.

"Ayyyy look at you girlie!" Lex said.

"What do you mean?" She feigned some light embarrassment.

"You look so hot. What's the occasion?" I know, Kate thought.

"Nothing really. I guess for the first time in a while I was just... feeling myself a little bit." Understatement of the century.

"Fuckin' A, K" she said. "Well I'm happy for you. I missed seeing those shoulders." Lex followed that up with a quick chuckle.

"Glad you're feelin' yourself cause I know I am." She said. She whipped her hair back. A few strands on the side of her face didn't follow suit. Kate watched her use a finger to tuck it behind her ear.

"Oh yeah?" She replied inquisitively.

"Yeahhhh. No big deal but uh... Nick dropped me off today. Early." Her face turned just a bit pink.

"Wow okay... do tell. I'm all ears." She really did want to know. She tilted her head slightly forward and gave Lex a playful look.

Lex, obviously not ready to air her dirty laundry to her classmates, leaned over to Kate's ear with one hand cupped next to her mouth.

"We fucked in the car behind the library before he dropped me off. I sucked his dick on the way here and rode him in the back seat. It was so. Fucking. Hot." It was. The thought made Kate's legs twitch with excitement. She moved her head away from Lex's and motioned for her to turn her head. She whispered back "Where did he cum?"

Lex pulled her head away and said "Uhhh... my mouth. Why?"

Before she had a chance to respond she and Lex overheard something from the other side of the class.

"...she...Kay-Hole...yeah..."

Kate turned her head to look where the noise was coming from. As she did, she met eyes with one of the shorter, stocky boys next to Mitch. He immediately turned his head back around and let out a chuckle. The other two snuck quick glances at her and Mitch followed his with a smirk.

She hated Mitch. He was the biggest reason the rumors followed her to college. He was also an arrogant prick and the way he craved attention from the popular kids in high school was pathetic. He was an ugly soul in a big body. But he was also going to be easy. Beggars can't be choosers and she was more than willing to beg for it.

Lex's hand appeared in front of her face, snapping three times.

"Hello? Helloooo? Earth to K!"

How long was she staring at him? She turned back to look at Lex but the same time started to hear the song's rhythm resurface in her brain.

"He's a fucking dickhead, yeah? We'll ignore him. We're fucking adults and him and anyone else who listens to him are fuckin' children."

"Yeah, yeah."

She was still spacing out. Kate was looking at her, but not really looking at her. More like through her. All the courage it took for her to walk in here with those clothes on. Down the drain.

"K, are you alright? Do you need something from me?"

They overheard him again.

"... couple times, yeah... so tight... piece of that..."

Lex was gonna fucking lose it. She was ready to kick his ass. Her fist was on the desk, clenched. Fantasizing about colliding with Mitch's face at a high speed. Kate's eyes were closed now. Looking surprisingly calmer than she would have expected. Still, Lex was at her breaking point. She avoided turning to violence over the whole Kay-Hole thing for long enough. Sorry K but I'm gonna do this, she thought to herself.

Lex started to stand up. Kate opened her eyes and grabbed her arm.

"Wait Lex."

"I'm sick of fucking waiting K. I'm gonna go over there and leave an imprint of my fist on his ugly face."

"No seriously. Wait." Her eyes pierced through Lex's skull. "I got this one."

Lex was dumbfounded. Even after seeing her friend walk through the door showing skin she wouldn't have in a million years guessed that she was about to stand up for herself like this.

"Okay. If you need me just say the word. Remember, you're a bad bitch. Go get 'em girlie."

"A bad bitch. Yeah." She stood up, turned toward Mitch, and walked over. Swaying her hips just like she did when she walked in.

She stopped in front of them.

"Uhh can I help you?"

"No, go on."

"What?"

"You were telling them about all the times you fucked me, right? Go on, I'd like to take a trip down memory lane."

Mitch looked nervously at the two stocky boys sitting around him and then looked back up at Kate.

"You can think about 'em on your own time, huh? Get outta here you weirdo."

"Who?"

"What do you mean who? You're not all that bright are you?"

"Who are you telling to go away? I wanna hear you say it."

"Okay sure." Mitch stood up. He towered almost and entire foot over her. "Have a seat. Kay-Hole."

Lex watched her study his face. She's seen that look before. Kate didn't know what to say and she was gonna start losing confidence. She needed to intervene fast to help her friend but as she started to stand up, Kate responded.

"I don't want to. And actually, fuck memory lane. Why don't you pull your cock out right now. I'll get on my knees and suck it."

Mitch turned bright red almost immediately. He obviously wasn't expecting this.

"Uhh hah not right now but uh..."

"Why not? Pull it out. You fucked me before, right? I'll suck you off in front of your little boyfriends so they know it's all true."

A little homophobic, Lex thought, but getting the point across I guess. She could barely believe what she was hearing.

"Uhh..."

One of the shorter guys chimed in. "Yeah go ahead, Mitch. Whip out your dick!" He somehow managed to turn even more red.

Finally, Kate sent it home. She grabbed at his crotch with no sign of hesitation. Mitch squeezed his legs together and covered himself up, backing up with a wavering, almost comical "AHH". The two shorter boys started howling. Same as everyone else who was paying attention, which was most of the class at this point. Mitch murmured something along the lines of "crazy bitch" as he took his seat, his head a red balloon waiting to pop. When he fully sat down Kate turned around and walked back to her desk. Her hips swaying all the same.

"Holy fucking shit. That was bad. Ass."

Kate sat down next to her and gave her a side-eyed smirk. They both turned towards the front of the classroom. Their professor walked in the door mere seconds later.

Mitch sat in his chair. Fucking fuming.

Who does that bitch think she is, he thought.

He couldn't believe he just got shown up by a little bitch that was half his size. He should have smacked her across the face or something. Taught her a lesson. His parents always told him not to hit girls but the way she talked to him was so fucking wrong. Besides, they wouldn't have found out. He was an adult now.

That's it. He was gonna do exactly that, follow her after class until she was somewhere no one else was around. A bathroom or something. He was pretty sure hitting women wasn't going to make him any friends but if she got away with making a fool out of him like that again, no one was gonna take him seriously.

So he sat there. Tuning out the professor. Watching the seconds slowly tick by as he waited for class to end.

Kate spent her time in class thinking. Very little of it was about the lecture.

It was a shame he didn't actually pull out his dick. She probably wouldn't have been able to help herself. That would have been a hard thing to explain to Lex but it would have been fine. Not as hard telling her that she fucked her own brother. No, that one will have to stay under wraps for the time being at least.

The hardest part of sucking him off in class would have been the indecent exposure. College kids are wild but that would have definitely still been a bridge too far.

Kate had some thinking to do. She needed a spot. Somewhere to end up after class. And after a good few minutes of mulling over the campus in her mind, she had her answer.

While staring blankly at the white board, she caught Mitch casually looking her way out of the corner of her eye. She gave him a wink and a smirk. His face turned red all over again and he diverted his eyes away.

She felt the bass kicks in the back of her head. This was almost too easy.

Class ended. Lex started to pack up her things.

"Hey do you wanna maybe go grab some lunch? Since you're all--"

She looked up and stopped mid sentence when she realized Kate was already up and out of her seat. She had her notebook, pen, phone and sunglasses case in her hands. Everything she brought with her to class.

"No, sorry. I've got some stuff I need to take care of around campus."

"Well why don't I go with you? We could bullshit while you walk around?"

"I don't wanna bore you. And I know you have class right after lunch. Go grab yourself something and we can eat together tomorrow?"

Lex was disappointed but she knew how to take a hint. No harm no foul.

"Okay well... love you K. I'm so happy you're out and about." Lex smiled.

"Me too," she responded with a smile of her own. "See you later and love you too."

Without missing a beat, Kate turned around and started walking out the door. I really do love that bitch, Lex thought. Her heart was full to bursting watching her walk around with confidence.

Kate was almost out of the classroom door when Lex noticed Mitch stand up and follow her out. Why the hell was he in such a rush? Unless...

Shit. He better not try anything. Lex was torn. She didn't want to force herself into Kate's plans. She was sure that would seem like she was trying to baby her and she really didn't want to do that. Kate could take care of herself, but still... Mitch was an unstable asshole. Who knows what the fuck he was thinking?

She had to at least follow them. She threw everything in her backpack haphazardly and waited until Mitch was close to the door before getting up and following. Touch her and I'll rip your fucking balls off you piece of shit.

Mitch followed Kate out of the building onto the campus. He wasn't following her too close but wasn't trying to hide either. He wasn't a bitch. He wanted his presence to be known. He wanted her to be scared.

That didn't really seem to happen though. He followed her across the quad and the whole time she didn't even look back once. Didn't pick up the pace, didn't make any strange turns to try to lose him. She just casually walked at an almost rhythmic pace. He couldn't help but notice the way her ass was swaying back and forth as she did. She was carefree. That made him mad. He was intimidating. She should be intimidated.

She's heading toward the science building, he thought. When's the right time gonna be?

Lex followed a good distance behind Mitch. What the hell was he thinking? Off ahead of him she still saw Kate, walking casually. She was genuinely shocked that she hadn't stopped to look around. Mitch didn't seem to be trying to act inconspicuous and even without considering him, there are a lot of fuckin' weirdos out there. Besides, when a girl is being watched they know. At least they're supposed to.

All that time away from being in public really did a number on you huh girlie, she thought to herself. Oh well. She wasn't going to let anything happen to Kate. She reached back and felt the side pocket of her backpack. The pepper spray was still there. Good.

They made their way across the quad. She saw Kate walking towards the doors to the science building. What did an english lit major need in the science building?

Wait no, she walked past the doors. There was only one more place she could be going. Around the corner and down the path next to the science building were the science labs. Even if she was taking a science elective... well there are never any labs scheduled on Thursdays. What the fuck is she doing?

Mitch stomped along, following Kate down the path to the lab building. This was almost too easy, he thought. She kept walking with that same rhythmic pace, practically shaking her ass at him. She had to be taunting him. It pissed him off all over again.

Kate reached the door, opened it and walked in. A few seconds later, he did the same. Would've slammed the door open if it wasn't the weighted handicap door. Not far in front of him, he saw the automatic lights turn on as Kate walked into the hallway.

No one had been there for a while, he thought to himself. Perfect.

Lex snuck up to the door and grabbed it just before it had a chance to shut.

Shit, that was too close. Opening the door would have been way too loud. That seals it though. Kate knew Mitch was following her. No way she could have missed the sound of that door.

She went to go step inside but stopped when she realized walking around in her sandals would be way too loud. She took them off, put them in the side pocket of her bag and slipped barefoot through the door, closing it as slowly and carefully as she could.

The lab building was a long, narrow building that stretched to the left and right when you walked through the front door. Long labs full of long tables surrounded by stools lined the opposite side of the hall. Each lab had two large, wide windows that allowed curious eyes a view into whatever the students were working on that day.

Well they would on any other day than Thursday anyway. On Thursdays the labs sat in the darkness at Waldon. The trail of automatic lights leading down to the left felt like a violation of that typical peace.

She saw Kate near the end of the hallway, about to round the corner. All that was down there was the entrance to the last lab and the emergency exit door.

The emergency exit! That would set the alarm off! She knew he was following her and she was gonna try and scare him! Still though, the labs? How bout somewhere more... populated next time, girlie?
