Monday arrived pretty quickly and for the whole Sunday I was thinking how I will destroy my enemies. As soon as I noticed Zac, I march to him. He looks shocked to see me but soon enough he starts to apologise.
“Emlyn, it wasn’t me I swear, I would never do anything like that…” I don’t let him finish. I remove my knife from the boot and press it against his dick. He gulps loudly.
“One more word and I will cut your dick and shove it deep in your ass. I don’t care who done it, I don’t care about you or anyone, so let me get this straight… You will keep your head down, don’t talk to me, don’t look at me and don’t even think about me because I will know and I will come for you, do you understand?”
“You need to believe me…”
“Enough! I am warning you; you better listen to me you dick.” I rush past him to my locker. When I arrived, it was all decorated in used condoms. How sweet. Don’t they have anything better to throw at me? Bunch of rich pricks. I take some books from the locker and walk to the classroom. Everyone is eyeing me with hate. Well, I think my famous moment just passed, now everyone wants to destroy me or rather they are judging me. What the hell is wrong with those people? Can’t they see that I didn’t record that video or even if so, didn’t they have a nice night with anyone?
I make my way, but someone walks straight at me. My books go flying. I kneel to pick them up and then a designer shoe steps on one of them.
“Well, well. You didn’t even check who is coming and you already kneeling, it’s like your brain know who’s the master. We need to talk.” Liam’s voice beams in my ears. This prick. I don’t want to talk with him now. He will need to wait for my next move. I leave the books on the floor, why bother and leave the school grounds. I march to my car, open the door and go to the only place I could think about, the roof.

The roof looks exactly as I remember. And this is a shocker because I actually tried to forget that day, the day I met Liam for the first time. He was different. He didn’t know me, and he cared about me, he saved my life. He made me realised that I want to live. Where is this guy now? Now I can only see a monster who has a goal to destroy my life, but why? He doesn’t know me. His father probably made sure to inform him about my persona but why bullying me? Why he cannot just leave me alone.
I don’t know why I care so much. I never cared about those stupid things. I have also never been bullied before; I was the bully. Maybe karma came back to me.
I don’t know how long I sit here but the raspy voice rips me from my thoughts.
“I didn’t expect to see you here. Long-time no see.” Liam… I turn around to look at him.
“Leave me alone. I came here to be alone, so just go and share more videos of me.”
“Maybe it will surprise you but that wasn’t me. Yes, I shared your photos for the first time but when I realized that you are not bothered by it, I decided to stop bullying you.”
“I don’t believe you. You and Zac used me because of your stupid game. Now leave me alone or better, I will go.” I move to leave him but his hand on my wrist stops me.
“For fuck sake Morpho, I am a bastard, but I am not a liar. I don’t know who recorded that video and I don’t know who shared it, but I will find out, for you.” A laugh escapes my lips.
“Yeah, why should I believe you? From the start, you have been a bully, a dick who wanted me to bow to you.”
“Yes, I am a dick, but I would never share something that private. Not yours, not anyone’s private video. I am not that type of person. You can think everything you want but it wasn’t me and it wasn’t Zac. He really likes you.”
I don’t believe him. My father warned me that the enemy always will try to blind me, trick me but I am not stupid, I will not fall for this trap.
“Whatever, I don’t care. Leave me the fuck alone and I will believe you,” I lied, somewhere deep inside me, I don’t want him to leave me alone. When he tournaments me, I feel alive. I don’t want that feeling to disappear.
“I cannot leave you alone. We are enemies, our families are rivals and I need to have a close eye on you. And secondly, I don’t want to. The day we met here, you were so broken, so scared of the world. I saw you as a little sheep who needs rescue,
