Chapter 30

Travis finally released his grip, letting them breathe freely again. As he walked past the two, he casually smacked their asses, enjoying the soft, jelly-like bounce under his hand. Without looking back, he continued on his way to Judith.

"Are you really okay?" He leaned in closer, the intensity of his gaze making her pulse quicken. Judith felt the heat rise in her cheeks, a mix of embarrassment and desire swirling within her.

"Yeah. Could you come here for a second?" She beckoned him closer, pulling him into the girls' locker room and shutting the door with a soft thud behind them.

Outside, Martinez and Lopez remained, their bodies still buzzing from Travis's earlier touch. They glanced at each other, the spark of longing flickering between them, but their pride kept the feelings at bay.

"I'm going to kill that fucker!" Martinez growled, her frustration bubbling over.

"Yeah. I'll call my brothers. Let's go; I need a drink," Lopez added, trying to redirect her anger and the unwelcome heat rising in her.

In the locker room, Judith sat on the toilet seat, her heart racing as she watched Travis tower over her. The atmosphere was charged, thick with unspoken tension.

"What's up?" he asked, his tone casual, but his eyes betrayed a hint of curiosity, as if he could sense the weight of the moment hanging between them.

"Well, I'm hearing those girls made me a bit wary of my body. What if you're just being kind to me? I'd like to confirm it myself," she said, her voice steady but her heart racing.

"Confirm what?" he asked, curiosity dancing in his eyes.

"Whether or not you really find me attractive." With that, she unzipped Travis's pants and pulled them down, her breath hitching as she caught sight of the sizable bulge beneath his underwear. He wasn't hard, but the sight still ignited a fire within her.

'Hmm, I hope the things I learned yesterday work,' she thought, her mind racing with anticipation as she pulled down his underwear, revealing his flaccid cock.

"See? You're not getting hard," she teased, a mix of disappointment and challenge in her tone.

"Have you thought that maybe I'm not looking at you lustfully right now? Maybe I'm just appreciating what a beautiful woman you are and not staring at you like you're some object," he replied, his voice calm but firm.

Judith felt a jolt of surprise at his words. 'What was I thinking?' she wondered, a wave of confusion washing over her.

Travis pulled his pants back up and tied them, turning serious. "You know, I really like you, Judith. But I don't know if I can like someone who doesn't like themselves," he said softly, before walking out, leaving her alone in the bathroom.

'I'm so fucking stupid,' she thought as tears welled in her eyes, the weight of his words crashing down on her, mixing shame with a longing she couldn't quite understand.

When Travis left the locker room, he smirked. 'Man, that was so slick. I fucking tried my hardest not to get hard there. Man, that was hard! Fuck,' he thought as he wiped off his sweat.

'Worth it though,' he thought as he continued to walk, returning to class.

On his way there, Travis spotted Eve at her locker, engrossed in getting something out. Seizing the opportunity for a playful surprise, he stealthily approached her and wrapped his arms around her slim waist, causing her to jump in shock.

"What the—!" she exclaimed.

As soon as she recognized him, Eve frowned, closing her locker with a huff. "Don't scare me like that," she said, playfully swatting him lightly on the chest.

"I couldn't resist," he admitted, releasing his hold on her waist.

Eve felt a flutter of warmth at his touch, her thoughts momentarily drifting. 'I kind of enjoyed that,' she mused to herself.

"So what's up? Aren't we late for class?" Travis asked, shifting his stance as he looked at her.

Eve nodded, glancing at the time. "Yeah, we are. Don't you think we should hurry?"

"Definitely a good idea," he replied.

They both broke into a run toward the classroom, Travis slowing his pace slightly to appreciate the way her hips swayed as she dashed ahead. Eve was acutely aware of his gaze but didn't mind; it only made her smile.

As they arrived in class, Mr. Bissette looked up, a welcoming smile on his face. "Travis, Eve, how nice of you to finally join us. I was just about to mark you absent. Take your seats; class has already started."

They nodded in acknowledgment and quickly took their seats.

"We made it," Eve said, settling in.

"Yeah, we're pretty lucky," Travis replied, grinning.

"Pretty lucky? Says the guy who would have arrived a whole minute earlier than me," she retorted with a teasing look.

"Hey, I'm not that fast!" he protested, turning his attention to Mia, who was seated to his left in the next row.

"Yo, Mia, you good?" Travis greeted her with a friendly nod.

"Yeah, I'm great! How about you?" she replied, returning his smile.

"I'm great as well! You're not sitting in front anymore?" he asked, glancing at Mia.

"Oh, do you not want me here?" she replied, her tone playful.

Travis shook his head, a reassuring smile on his face. "No, I'm just asking. I'm actually happy to have such a great view up close."

"Umm, thanks," she said, her cheeks flushing as she quickly turned her gaze back to the front.

Just then, Travis felt a light smack on his thigh. He turned to see Eve pouting at him, clearly not pleased with the exchange.

'How cute. She's like a lemming,' he thought, unable to suppress a grin at her playful jealousy.

"Are you coming to the park today? I'd like to show you this cool doodle I made," Eve said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Umm, I'll have to check my schedule, but I'll text you if I'm available, don't worry," Travis replied, trying to be polite.

Mia overheard their conversation and smiled to herself, thinking, 'Seems like Emo just got rejected. But look at how he reacts to me!'

"I'm really looking forward to our study session at the library tonight. I hope we can cover more than we did yesterday, or you might not understand the next topic," Mia added, trying to steer the focus back to her.

"Oh, yeah, I'm also hyped. Let's talk about it on our way home, okay?" he said, clearly excited about the session.
