"Here's the deal, you can clear your name."



"What"



"Get a girlfriend, get intimate with her. The relationship must last at least two weeks. Break up with her afterwards" Jeff said. Alfred looked at him with disapproval clearly written on his face.



"At least, do a public display of affection. You have till the zero rule night to complete the task" Lian supported



"Or leave us alone with our assumptions. The rest of the academy included" Ethan concluded. Alfred looked at them all. He knew they already had this discussion before now.



"Come on" Lian urged. Alfred wanted to say yes but he was afraid of hurting someone for his selfish reasons. "Any girl would be happy to date you for just a day. They won't complain" Alfred had an idea and smiled



"The girl shouldn't know it's all a dare" Jeff spoke as if he read Alfred's thoughts



"Is it?"



"It is now" Alfred sighed and said



"Fine. I will do it"...

"please can I?". He begged. Julian nodded and he smiled. He began to kiss her again and carried her in his arms. He laid her down in the bed and began to explore her body. when he was ready to take things to the next level he stopped abruptly as a sentence kept echoing in his mind

"Don't forget."

Julian was momentarily stunned, she didn't expect him to stop so sudden. She tried to pull him closer but he pulled away from her grip.

"Alfred. What's wrong?". He raised his hand gesturing her to stay away. His eyes were shut tightly. "Look at me." Julian made to touch him.

"Don't come any closer"
