Chapter 6
"Shawn? Shawn! Where are you?" It was a lady's voice, what was she doing in the men's?
"Hey! What are you doing here? This is the male section"
"Shush," she said placing her fingers over her lips.
"Who are you?" Shawn inquired
"I know what the bullies did to you, and I am the one that will help you get your revenge," she explained.
"I do not understand, revenge? I never said I wanted revenge" Shawn puzzled
"Who are you anyway?" Shawn inquired and she went silent
"Answer me" Shawn yelled
"You ask too many questions and worry too much. It's no wonder they were able to get you" She retorted
"What does that mean?" Shawn queried, trying to control himself from losing his patience
"For now, we have to figure out how to get you out of here," She thought
"We sure do" Shawn agreed
"Such an ungrateful son of a bitch" she jeered
"How do we get out then?"
"When classes are over" she answered simply
"Are you mad? You expect me to stay here in the men's..." Shawn started before being interrupted by my footsteps coming to the bathroom
"Shush" she gestured with her hand
"You expect me to remain here with you in the restroom until classes are over?" Shawn yelled
"Yes" she cut in
"And how long do you think that would take?"
"Hours"
"And you're comfortable with that?"
"Look, Shawn, you can leave if you want to or better still leave when you have a better idea. I am risking a lot being here trying to salvage your lame ass out of here. The least you could do is to say " thank you" She finished
"Perhaps, if you would have approached me gently in the first place and not made it look like a kidnap mission" Shawn complained
"You call this a kidnap?" She scoffed
"Now, that's it. Get out" She yelled
"Please, there are too many students out there" Shawn begged
"Dumbo, most students would be in class by this time. Lucky for you, I move around with a hood so here" She said throwing it to him
"That didn't help me out there earlier" Shawn objected
"That's the difference. This time, you're coming out with me" she bragged, and just as she said, we went out of the school premise without as much as a stare or frown from one or two persons.
"My place or yours?" She asked when they had gone out of the premise.
"Mine" Of course, Shawn didn't trust her enough to go to her place or his but he thought being at his would give him some sort of control should the need arise
"So, I am guessing you don't stay in the school-provided accommodation then?" She inquired after she saw they had passed it
"No" Shawn answered curtly
"And I wonder why you are so spoilt"
"I would expect some level of trust and respect as I have respected you enough to take you to my place without questions" Shawn admonished
"Whatever, you still need me" She yawned
"How do you plan on getting this revenge?" Shawn asked when they had arrived at his place
"I'll get him to fall in love with me"
"You mind if I ask who?"
"Who else do you think?"
"Have you seen his girlfriend? How would you or rather, the question should be can you compete with that?" Shawn asked analyzing her from head to toe
Rolling her eyes, she said,
"I can be beautiful in my way, you just don't see it"
"And I bet the others see it too" Shawn mocked
"I'll only need a little improvement to help win him over" she retorted
"I think you will need more than just a little improvement" Shawn mocked
"Alright, you get him to fall in love with you, then what?" Shawn inquired
"Find something incriminating against him"
"How would you do that? Men like him are very secretive, you know"
"Men like that are fools when they are in love or rather when they are trying to impress a lady"
"We will see how that plays out for you then"
"One more thing, we must never be together at school. In school, we don't know each other and have never met" She warned
"Sure, not like I want to be associated with you as well" Shawn agreed
"Great! What then should we do about her?" She asked
"Whom?" Shawn was puzzled
"The one who lives you lured into the trap. Please do not tell me you intend to forgive her"
"No!" Shawn almost screamed
"Glad to know you're one of the smart ones. But I am curious, how did she do it?"
"Do what?" Shawn asked, feigning ignorance
"Lure you to the point she made you go naked" she jeered
"You are no better than the bullies," an annoyed Shawn said
"Back to business, we have to change my wardrobe and hair, and I need some makeup to help achieve this"
"What are you suggesting?" A puzzled Shawn asked
"A visit to the shopping mall" She excitedly replied
"Well, I do not have that kind of money. I had spent all I had on that expensive restaurant date that I would forever regret"
"I don't care how you do it but you have to make this work"
"And what would you be doing?" Shawn asked
"Making a man fall hard for me, is not an easy thing to do"
"I do not have the money" Shawn insisted
"Perhaps we should forget all about the plan altogether" She suggested seeing he was not willing to bend.
I mean, she had heard how influential his family was and if they had that kind of power, money should not be an issue for him yet he was so adamant.
"Okay, I think I can pull some strings" Shawn admitted almost cursing himself for doing so.
"And about her, I can't forgive her. I am sure she has some secret she is hiding. I will find out and make her pay" Shawn promised
"How?" She inquired, this was the part she liked best.
Chapter 7 "Okay, I think I can pull some strings" Shawn admitted almost cursing himself for doing so. "And about her, I can't forgive her. I am sure she has some secret she is hiding. I will find out and make her pay" Shawn promised "How?" She inquired, this was the part she liked best. "I hope you're smart enough to know you can't approach her by yourself?" She added"Of course, I know that. I am not that dumb" Shawn objected"You were dumb enough the first time" she jeered "She will pay, and well" Shawn smiled mischievously "You just do your thing and I will do mine" Shawn added "I am Leah, and I think we will be great partners" she stretched out her hand. Shawn was confused as to what the handshake was for. For the partnership or for having a deal. "We are strangers," Shawn said trying to remind her of her early advice "I won't forget that, now the problem is you. Can you remember to pretend to not know me?" She asked and just then they were interrupted by someone ente
Chapter 8 "What?" She repeated "Tom" she heard her voice playing over the video, moaning "Leah, the cam girl." Another guy jeered "Oh my God." Was all she could mutter and she ran towards where she knew she could find Tom "Tom." She started "I'm already on the phone talking to my dad's lawyer," Tom whispered "Um, I gotta go. Thank you, Derek." He finished "Hey." He finally turned toward Leah"How could you do this to me?" Leah asked, tears filling up her eyes"What? I didn't do this. I got hacked." And Leah scoffed "Easy, Mayweather." Tom taunted laughing"This is bullshit," Leah screamed "I'm sorry you feel that way." He responded (At the headmaster's office) "Will your mother be joining us?" The headmaster asked "No. She works nights, so she's asleep." Leah answered with her head bowed"Leah, I want you to know this brings me no pleasure. If you had just come to me when you saw the video, we--" The headmaster started "Oh, so this is my fault?" An enraged Leah asked "
Chapter 9 "You know I once punched a guy in the face for leaking my tape" Leah dropped"Is that your ex who leaked it? Is that why you punched him?""Are you gonna talk this entire ride?" Leah asked regretting why she even mentioned it"What happened to him? Your ex?""Oh, you know, what happens to every guy. Nothing. I'm the slut on probation,and he and his tiny little dick get away scot-free. They always get away scot-free." Leah lamented"Mm-hmm." Shawn nodded in agreement "I know what it's like to get screwed over by someone you thought you could trust. Hell, I know too much about betrayal. When I was 13, uh, I went to day camp with this girl, and she existed on this like…untouchable plane. She glowed. I pretty much already knewthat I liked girls, but I hadn't told anyone yet. But this girl, I guess I thought that if she liked me, it would validate my entire existence or something, and I finally talked to her, and… it was great. Like, she made me feel so free and confident and
Chapter 10 "We won't get caught. That's the whole point. No one knows we know each other, right? So no one will connect us to them, to each other. It's perfect.With my brains and your… blank slate,we can get away with this. Don't you wanna make her pay?" Leah asked Shawn with an evil smile. "I don't want to make her pay. I want to burn her to the ground." "Whoa. That gave me chills. Do you see this? My arm hair's up. Look at that. You're giving off some serious, like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction energy.But if we're gonna make this work…we have to fix…" Leah started "No," Shawn interjected "…this." Leah continued "I don't want to." Shawn objected "We have to do…" Leah continued, playing deaf to all of Shawn's pleading "Oh, please don't say a makeover." He begged. He was already running out of money and he still had a lot of bills to pay "…a makeover! Yay!""It feels so problematic." Shawn objected "It is, but it's fun! Let's start with her. She'll be a cinch. I can rui
Chapter 11The party had only started slowly with less vibe than Leah had expected. And she had been away from Max for a while, letting her eyes scan through the whole place to notice what had been going on."Looks weird, where are all his friends?" Leah inspected after she noticed she didn't see most of the guys he had always been with.She looked around and noticed the girls doing their stuff on the other end dancing to tunes and music."They are the only way to get past Max, I could use them as a diversion when I feel something is wrong. . .""Are you okay?" A voice from behind asked."Ummm, yeah... Anything the matter?" Leah asked. "Here!" The woman said, handing over a glass of wine to Leah."Ohh how kind. . . Thanks," she replied with a smile and grabbed the drink from the tray."If you need anything, just come over to that place!" She pointed with a cringing smile."There? Sure I will, thanks again," Leah smiled and immediately she moved away, she set her eyes back on Max who h
Chapter 12A very bright day with shades of wind blowing over Shawn as he stood by the window, waiting patiently for the call and hoping that Leah had gotten him in her hands. And for a fact, he expected nothing but success because everything had been set for her to win."I believe this will work, something tells me that this will work out well for us, and just when this is all over, I will remind him vividly of who I am again; surely I am not one of those boys he messes with," Shawn thought as he stared into the skies.Just when a thought clicked into his mind, the thought that Leah was going to call him soon. . . He searched his pockets."Where did I drop. . ?" He said as he turned around checking where he had last dropped his phone."Ohh here it is!" He echoed with a smile.He picked it up and began fiddling with him, hoping for that moment where he would see Leah's call at first sight. . ."What if I call her. . .?? I know I'm not too patient, but come on! It's been hours after she
Chapter 13"Rat-tat-tat!!" There was a loud bang on the door, something that rarely happened in that home. The door clicked open immediately when one of the men went out to check who had been at the door."Yong master!!" The guard Saud, bowing for Shawn whose eyes had been like he hadn't had a sleep in days."Are you okay sir?" He asked."I'm fine. . . And don't act crazy!" Shawn said as he walked into the house."Hey, who was that at the door. . .?" Shawn's father came out asking. . ."He. . . Sorry, your son just arrived back home and he has taken the back door into the house." The guard responded."What? He did not care to come in and greet me?" He said shaking his head as he went back into the house, and the guard without saying a single word went back into his station."Hi, mum!" Shawn said as he walked past her into his bedroom without any other word.His mom was confused for a moment thinking she had done something wrong. . ."Hey, baby. . . Are you feeling okay? What's going
Chapter 14Everyone had been quiet about everything for a long time, and no one seemed to be talking. After Leah had caught Shawn with the new girl, she was furious, and immediately disappeared for a full day without picking up her phone. She had gone back to her little house outside of school where she knew no one would come and disturb her peace. She knew she needed the alone time and definitely, staying back at home was going to be the solution for her to find her peace."Wait a minute. . .! Why I'm I angry that I saw him with another girl?" She paused for a moment as the thought lingered in her mind. She knew for once she cared about one of her male friends around the opposite gender except her, and she had no idea why this has been going on and on.I just hope it's not what I'm thinking because if it is, well I don't know but Shawn doesn't have to know about any of this. . ." She shook her head."Did I make a mistake acting that way? You know, maybe I Would have gotten to know
