Rachel Connell ran home as quickly as she could in heels. In hindsight, her choice of shoe was not a good one. She almost tripped over the uneven pavement, steadied herself against a wall and glanced about to see if anyone had witnessed her trip.Luckily, Kai and his gang had not caught up to her. But they would.Every night this week they had followed her home. At first, they just loitered outside being loud and annoying. Then, last night, things had taken a more sinister turn. One of them had thrown a brick through the window while the others tried the doors, rattling the door knobs and banging.What will they do tonight?' she wondered.If things got too bad, she would have to call the police and risk Kai leaking the video. What else could she do?She fumbled with her keys, dropping them to the ground with a clatter before retrieving them and managing to unlock her front door. Inside, the house was cold and dark. Before now, her home had always felt welcoming. A relief after an a

Jenna had been hearing rumours about Kai all day. They were saying he'd left the pretty, youngish English teacher in a flood of tears. Apparently, a girl had to fetch the principal because they couldn't console her—she was sobbing so hard.Charlene was pestering Kai for every detail, eyes shining bright as she listened to his story.Kai curled his lip and shifted away from the girl. He seemed to be getting annoyed by her persistent questioning."Did she beg you?" Charlene wanted to know. "What did she say exactly?""Why does it matter?" Kai scowled at her. "Mind your business."Charlene did not seem to hear him. Her eyes misted over. "I hate that dumb cow. I wish I'd been there to see it. At what point did she start crying?"She didn't even seem to notice when Kai glared at her."You should have made her kiss your shoes," Charlene mused.This comment was met with an equal mixture of amusement and annoyance from Kai. He scoffed, tutted and laughed."What the heck is wrong with you? You

Kai walked the same route he had taken for the past few nights, listening to the birds squawking and shuffling inside the bushes. This time he was alone, but people still crossed the road to avoid him. 'They aren't wrong to do so,' he thought.A kid he recognised from school was out walking his dog. When he saw Kai coming, he quickly looked down, as if desperate not to be noticed.Kai looked down at the kid's dog—a sleek and dainty-looking whippet. It was a cool dog.The poor kid looked like he was about to crap his pants when the dog stopped to sniff Kai's hand. "Good dog," Kai said, giving it a gentle pat.Its grateful eyes and soft fur made him want a dog. Dogs were loyal... unlike people.He couldn't help but be annoyed with his mates. Deep down he understood why they were unwilling to carry on, and he was happy to let think they had won.But they hadn't. Kai told them he was going to force her to do his coursework to make his defeat more believable.Without a care in the world

As Jenna waited for Kai to return home she couldn't shake the horrible feeling that something was wrong. If he was only going there to make demands, why had he been gone so long?She sat on her bed with the curtains open. Every time someone walked down the street in front of the house she jumped up and peered out, hoping it would be Kai.A young lad stared up at her as if she was a peeping tom, frowned and waved. On instinct, Jenna waved back. Maybe it was one of the neighbours, who knew?She tried to concentrate on her homework, but it was just too boring to keep her attention for long.The crusades, Shakespeare, The carbon cycle...'Why do we have to commit so much pointless crap to memory?' she wondered. Her life goal was to forget as much of this rubbish as possible.Her only interest was art and design. Maths wasn't so bad either.But the other subjects felt like they were just a waste of time.She sat there, mind wandering, tapping her pen on the blank paper until Kai finally ap

Kai stared at the envelope of drawings for a moment before stuffing them into his bag. He couldn't figure out Jacob's motives. The only thing that made sense was to him was that Jacob was trying to steal yet another girl away from him. For whatever reason, Jacob always seemed to like the same girls as Kai, but once he had them, he'd rip their hearts to pieces.'Well I'm not letting you do it again,' Kai thought. Bullying Jacob was no longer entertaining or satisfying anyway. He decided he'd find someone else to pick on. It wasn't as if he got off on bullying them. But if he didn't fulfil the role of biggest, baddest bully... who even was he? Just a nobody?Being so widely feared and revered gave him a sense of worth that was hard to get elsewhere. "What are you dreaming about?" Char asked, staring at him as usual. He flashed her his usual angry look--that look that said 'fuck off and die you nosy bitch.'"Grumpy," she teased, punching him lightly on the arm. The same arm that had

The scene in the toilet stall wasn't a violent one. Nevertheless, she wouldn't want to be in Gordon's position. Kai had him kneeling in a ball on the urine-covered floor and was using him as a footstool as he sat upon the toilet, reclining with a cigarette in his mouth. Jenna had come to learn that Kai was not addicted to smoking—just a casual smoker who would light up when stressed.She watched as Kai flicked ash in the face of his captive. "I mean, you are so much smarter than me right, Mr Brainbox? So you explain it to me.""E—erm, well, I, uh, I don't—" Gordon stammered.Kai lifted his foot and stomped it into the lad's side before placing it back down on his back."If you aren't going to be helpful, I'll just beat you instead," Kai warned."I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Gordon cried. "Erm, I guess... from what you told me... I'd say Jacob is trying to protect Jenna."Jenna frowned. Kai was getting advice from this guy... and about the Jacob situation? 'He... he cares,' she thought.

The punishment was all Jenna could think about. From that moment in the bathroom right up until they returned home. She wondered when he would do it. Would he make her wait to build up the suspense?When she saw Charlene sitting on the doorstep, Jenna figured it was going to have to wait.'Or not,' she thought as Kai swanned past the girl without acknowledging her existence.As Jenna followed Kai inside, she went to close the door behind her, but Charlene jammed it with her foot."Do you mind?" she sneered at Jenna."I'd just go home if I were you," she warned the girl. Somehow, she knew this wasn't going to go the way Charlene was hoping. She was saying it to help, not to be cruel.Still, Charlene took it the wrong way."Do you know how to mind your own business? she asked, scowling.Jenna, no longer caring, took a step back and let her walk towards Kai's in the living room. After lingering in the hallway, she couldn’t help but become a peeping tom once again.She tried not to make a
