“Iz
zy Pop, you still looking for part time work on the weekend?” my best friend Stefan Janovich asked, stopping me in the hallway of my dorm by putting his hand on my arm. I looked at it and he quickly yanked it away.

“Sorry,” he said sheepishly. He knew how little I liked being touched by anybody, even my gay best guy friend. He ran his hand nervously through his tousled yet stylish
ly spiked blond hair and grinned, saying, “You said something the other day…”

“Yeah,” I interrupted. “I did. And yeah, I’
m still interested.” I smiled to try and make up for reacting so badly, but it felt fakey. I’d never been a very good liar. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust Stefan; touching just set me off, no matter who was doing it. When I went to concerts with my friends, I avoided the mosh pits like the plague. “What do you have for me?”

He handed me a scrap of paper torn from his notebook.
“It’s a housecleaning position. I mean, not glamorous or anything, but it pays really well, and I know…you know, you can use the cash.”

I gaped as I
threaded my way around the students in the corridor, Stefan tagging after. “This is a pretty exclusive neighborhood, Stef.”

“Yeah, well, the guy’s
pretty exclusive.” He gestured up and down his handsome face with a hand as we walked toward my dorm room. “Dr. Michaels is the surgeon who fixed my face
pro bono
back when.”

“Oh,”
I said, catching on. “Yeah, I think I remember him.”

I had vague memories of a tall, cold-faced doctor swiftly passing me
in the halls when I was going to visit Stefan in the hospital.

Stef
and I had grown up together, but when he was thirteen, he and his mom were in a terrible car crash. They both made it, thankfully, but the windshield shattered and Stefan’s face was cut up pretty badly. It took seven surgeries by Dr. Dorian Michaels, the top plastic surgeon in the city, to restore his natural good looks, but despite all the pain and recovery time, Stefan had been a real trooper through it all.


I remember you said you couldn’t stop fantasying about him.”

He grinned at that.
“He’s pretty hot. But I think he’s a little out of my league.”

“Too old. Too rich,” I guessed.

Stefan laughed. We were both so poor!

“He gay?”

“I wouldn’t send you to him if he wasn’t,” he said.

“You just want me to fix you up.”

He laughed again. “Maybe.”

“Aww, poor Stef
, always the bridesmaid, never the bride,” I said as I reached my room. Stefan always had a lot of boyfriends, but his many relationships never seemed to amount to much, mostly because Stefan was a notorious wanderer. As soon as he had a great guy, he started finding flaws and looking for greener pastures.

“I’m just picky.”

“Uh-huh.” I keyed open my door and turned. “Wanna hang? I have double fudge ice cream and
The Scarlet Pimpernel
from Redbox.”
The Scarlet Pimpernel
was Stefan’s favorite movie. He had a massive crush on Leslie Howard.

Stef
an sort of hmmed and hawed, and I quickly got the feeling he had something hot and well-muscled planned for tonight. Still, I knew he didn’t want to leave me alone. I’d been there for him all through his recovery. He wanted to be here now for mine.

Get it together, Iz!

I knew I had to find a way to let him off the hook. I’d decided some time ago I didn’t want to be one of those clingy people who’s afraid to be alone. “On second thought, maybe I’ll turn in early. I had to cram half the night for that killer History exam today.” I made a show of yawning.

“I can stay,” he said but I held up a hand
to stop him.

“Nah. Gonna shower and turn in.”

He put his hand on the door. “You sure, Izzy Pop?”

“Absolutely!” I beamed a smile for him.

After we said our goodbyes, and I promised to meet him in the student cafeteria for breakfast tomorrow morning, I closed and locked the door, then slid the three latches into place that I’d installed a few months ago. After that, I dropped my books on my desk and went to shower, leaving the bathroom door wide open so I could hear if anyone was trying to get in.

As I was stepping out of the shower
stall, I heard a dull rustling noise at the door. I bundled a big terrycloth towel around my middle and crept out of the bathroom, stopping only to grab up a pair of very sharp scissors from off my desk. I stood very still, barely breathing, dripping water all over the floor.

Yeah, someone was definitely lurking at my door. I could see a sha
dow as they toyed with the doorknob. Then more rustling as the unknown person slid a sheet of paper under my door.

I stood in the shadows, wet, dark tangles of hair clinging
in commas to my cheeks, my heart thudding in my ears, breathing in and out, in and out, trying not to hyperventilate. I clutched the scissors close, realizing my hands were shaking.

“Stop it, Iz,” I told myself in a breathy whisper. “Just stop this shit, all right?”

I made myself set the scissors down before padding quietly to the door. The locks were still in place. No one could breach three deadbolts, I reminded myself.

Whoever had been standing there was gone
now. The room was dimly lit, but I could see the scrawled letters of some funky font announcing a frat party this weekend. The students here were always handing those out. I closed my eyes and breathed out in relief, then padded back over to my highboy to pull out a pair of pajamas.

A year ago, this
cute ivy league guy from uptown named Clark Bennigan asked me to a rave. It was, sad to say, my first real date. I’d never been huge on dating in high school—too shy, too clumsy. But that night I said yes. I’d thought it was time to come out of my shell, to loosen up. I didn’t want to grow old alone because I was afraid to talk to a cute boy.

C
lark picked me up in his Lamborghini and we went driving into the city. The rave was fun and loud and crazy, and a lot of liquor was flowing. I wasn’t a big drinker, so I’d only stuck to one drink I planned to nurse for most of the night. I knew better than to get loaded and let someone take advantage of me.

But before I knew what was happening,
I started feeling sick and needed to throw up. Clark started steering me toward the ladies room, but something happened, and it was like I was in a series of time-lapse photographs. One minute I was stumbling around like some drunken floozy, the next I remembered being carried over his shoulder while he made excuses for me. Then came some sleazy hotel room, a bed with an evil green spread.

I rem
embered crying, saying, “I want to go home, Clark. I want to go home!”

But as my voice steadily rose along with my panic, Clark
threw me down and covered my mouth with his hand. He put a small box cutter to my throat and said, “Shut up or I’ll fucking cut your throat, bitch.”

Most of the night
after that was a fuzzy kaleidoscope, but I remember Clark telling me he’d hunt me down and kill me and my family if I told anyone. He’d said he’d killed other girls for having a big mouth and that his dad owned the police. The next morning I woke up sore and bleeding and alone in that dismal little hotel room.

I only ever told Stefan, who’d had to come pick me up because
I had no idea where I was and had no way to get back to campus. On the drive back, he said point-blank in the coldest voice I’d ever heard, “He gave you a roofie and he raped you. That son of a fucking bitch raped you, didn’t he, Iz?”

“No,” I told him. I was
working hard to keep from breaking down into hysterics, and I didn’t want him using that word. Rape was stuff that happened to the loose girls at college. It didn’t happen to girls on their first date, to virgins. It didn’t happen to girls like me. “No, I consented.”

“Sure you did.”

“I did.”

“Let me take you to the ER, Iz
, or the police. They can get DNA samples. They can find him.”

“No. I just want to go home.”

“You have to report this! You have to turn him in!” He was working himself into a rage.

“Take me ho
me, Stef, please! Later. Please! I just want to go home.”

I was shaking, and I
desperately wanted a shower. I wanted to pretend the last twenty-four hours was all a dream, that it didn’t happen.

I didn’t want to get involved i
n this. It was obvious the guy had money. If I made a fuss, he’d come after me, and then it would be his word against mine. He could probably hurt me. Or worse, he could hurt my grandmother.

Oh god, I couldn’
t let my grandmother learn about this. She was the one who raised me after my parents died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. She was so proud of my grades, so proud of my common sense. I couldn’t let her see me like this. Like some
victim
.

So no, I didn’t tell anyone, even later on. I couldn’t. I just couldn’t.

I wasn’t proud of that. You always hear about victim guilt, all that crap, but the reality of it wa
s, when you actually experience it, things looked different. Things aren’t all black and white, right and wrong, like everyone says. It’s hard to be brave. It was too hard for me.

And b
esides, my grandma had recently had a serious heart condition. She’d already had two stents put in She didn’t need the extra stress of seeing me this way, not on top of losing her son, my dad, the way she had. If she found out, it might kill her, and she was my only family now.
