"Daniel!" I stormed into my house searching for my brother. I followed his voice which was upstairs. I didn't speak to him in school about this because Daniel and I kind of had this unspoken arrangement. I don't speak to him at school and that way he's not mean to me there. It doesn't really make a difference at home since we barely talk here either but he was less likely to yell at me too bad if we were home and not at school. I found Daniel in his room sitting at the edge of his king sized bed talking on the phone. But once he noticed me he quickly told whoever it was that he would call them back.
"What is it Lana?" He mumbles looking up at me.
"Why did you invite your little secret society over to stay the night?" I angrily asked him.
Daniel chuckled and stood to his feet. "we are not a secret society Lana." He walked over to his mirror and swiftly took off his black shirt. I rolled my eyes as he slipped on another black shirt but it had a collar.
They always wore black.
"Whatever." I folded my arms. "Why did you tell them they could stay when your not even gonna be here?"
"Elana it's not a big deal." He says occasionally glancing at me while putting on deodorant.
"I have a date and then I'll be back. They'll probably just be in my room just hanging out until then." Daniel shrugged while putting on his shoes. "And why are you in here? You know not to ever step foot in my room."
I rolled my eyes. "Why can't they wait for you to get back at their own houses?" I whined. I really didn't understand why they had to be in our house at all. It was so obvious that Carter and Justin were up to something and Daniel just wasn't seeing it.
"I don't trust your friends Daniel they are...scary." I swallowed.
Fully dressed, Daniel gave himself a once over in the mirror and then he walked over to me and sighed.
"Listen, I promise they won't bother you. Oh and it's good that your scared of them, that just means that you'll stay out of trouble with them."
Daniel pulled out his phone as he walked out the room. I followed right after him.
"When they come im not opening the door for them." I smirked while sitting on the stairs.
Daniel simply said. "Carter has my keys, don't start anything when they come Lana I mean it." Daniel sent me a glare and I swallowed nervously. I watched as Daniel headed for the door. We use to be so close, but now he has his Virginity brothers.
"I'm just gonna tell mom and dad." I whispered
Daniel turned and looked at me irritatedly.
"Do that and I'll make sure you'll have a real reason to be scared of my friends." He growled and slammed the door.

An hour later Melissa came to my house and I began telling her what happened with Daniel and I.
"And how is this bad a bad thing?" Melissa asked while twirling her hair. We were sitting on my bed laying down but I sat up to give her a confused look so she finished.
"You and I are gonna be home alone with the hottest boys In school, tell me how this is bad?" She raised an eyebrow and I sighed. She didn't know that they were virginity theives and I obviously couldn't tell her about it.
"It's because Michael broke up with that girl for no reason! Isn't that so mean? You even said so!" I blurted out. Melissa's confusion deepened as she asked, "What does that have to do with Carter and Justin?"
My eyes widened. "They all hang out with each other!" I pointed out. "Birds of a feather- flock together" I reminded her and she burst out laughing.
"Lana you watch to much tv." she was out of breath from laughing and snatched her phone off of the bed when a name flashed on her screen. "Oh my god!
It's Justin! Look look look he texted me!" She shoved her phone in my face and I went slightly blind.
"He said 'hey gorgeous' what should I say!" She excitedly asked me but still replied to him without me giving her an answer. I rolled my eyes feeling very much annoyed with her. I didn't even see when she gave Justin her number earlier and now they were texting. Now how the hell would I tell her that the guys are sneaky caniving sex stealer maniacs without actually saying that they are sneaky caniving virginity Stealer maniacs? It was like no way to explain that to a person.
A few hours passed and Melissa was still texting Justin. I had already finished my homework, studied and when I walked downstairs to see what she was doing Melissa met me half way. "They are on there way here!" She yelled happily. "He said they are close, him and Carter." She pulled my arm excitedly as if I was going to join in with her happiness because Carter was coming. How could she not see that I didn't like those guys? That I despised them? Her and I have seen them treat girls with 0 respect for a long time now and Melissa knows I have standards, she also knows my type of guy. Carter was none of those things yet she still didn't get it.
"Melissa um I have something to tell you." I figure to just tell her. She was my best friend and I wouldn't ever want her to go into a relationship or ever start liking someone without knowing the entire 411 on them, and the entire group of boys were bad news.
Now how do I say this?
"Justin, Carter, Daniel, Caleb and Michael, they are all bad boys." I started while watching her reaction. She smiled at her phone then looked up at me.
"What do you mean?"
"They are players, they are bad news Melissa. All of them." I stated.
The locks on the front door began making a noise and I realized I was out of time. They were here.
"They are here!" Melissa ran to the door and I panicked. "Pretend I'm not here!" I whispered and ran to my downstairs bathroom hiding myself. I locked the door and held my ear to the door attempting to hear every sound and every single word they said to each other.
"Hiiiiiiiiiiii" I heard Melissa's loud squeaky voice and I knew they were now in the house. I heard deep masculine voices and a few hearty laughs come from the guys. Then one of them asked a question that made me press my ear even closer to the door.
"Where's Lana?" Carter asked.
"In the bathroom I think." Melissa rated me out and then laughed, probably flirting with Justin not even realizing she had just blew my cover. I heard footsteps leading down the hall to the bathroom and my heartbeat sped up. Oh my goodness Carter was walking to the bathroom to get me. I turned off the light and crouched down to the floor while holding my breath.
"Lana?" Carter said my name really calm like. I liked the way it rolled off his tongue so smooth and deep, he made me vibrate in warmth just from saying my name. The way guys can easily do this to us girls just by saying our names was such a curse. I hated it. He suddenly knocked on the door making me flinch almost falling backwards. I caught myself and put one hand over my mouth hoping he didn't hear a peep. After a few seconds of him standing in font of the bathroom I heard his footsteps as he began walking away.
A loud groan erupted from his body as he announced. "I came here for You Lana, where are you?" He then chuckled and I guess he joined Melissa and Justin in the living room as I heard faint laughter and their voices. I let myself breathe since he walked away and I stood up and turned the lights back on. I looked at myself in the mirror as a realization dawned on me. The virginity stealers might be scary at school but they are at my house, meaning I have the upper hand here. They can't control me or scare me or anything because if they try I can easily call the cops and get them removed from my house. I smirked at myself feeling silly for even hiding from them in the first place.
I ran my fingers through my shoulder length strawberry blonde hair and gave myself a Pep talk.
"Okay" I sighed. Time for this cat to go play with the dogs. I laughed at how corny that sounded and exited the bathroom. I felt super confident while walking down my hallway. They weren't gonna scare me pshht. This is my house. The confidence that I had before I walked into the living room disappeared when I actually saw them, or actually saw him.
Justin and Melissa were cuddled up on the couch, she was laying her head on his lap while he occasionally checked his phone, he looked pretty sexy doing so but Carter....God, Carter was sitting on the couch closest to me, his long legs open while his one hand rested on the croch area of his pants and his other hand was occupied by his phone. He was wearing black pants and a black shirt, with a diamond dog tag hanging from his neck. Once my presence was known, all eyes fell on me.
"Hey Lana." Justin's revealed all of this teeth to me while smiling from the couch. "Hey." I waved and Melissa smiled at me.
Bitch. Was all I could think about since she ratted me out earlier.
Carter quickly stood up and looked down at my small frame. It was like I kept getting stuck on stupid every time he came around because I kept freezing up, like now.
"Hey Lana" He puts one hand on my waist and pulls me in, enveloping my body into his to hug me. I feel him tilt his head so that his lips are at my ear.
"Why were you hiding from me?"
