Hi friends this chapter consists of a few POVs which would be useful for further reading I hope you enjoy it!)
****
*Egan*
This has got to be all wrong, it has got to be a mistake. Leon and I need to talk as soon as possible. I told him to ditch but he went on to do it, what the actual fuck us wring with people? Fuck. I'm so doomed if Dayle and Steve finds out that I plotted this whole thing.
I remember, times back I borrowed Steve’s phone to make a quick call but that wasn't my purpose, I copied the video a phone that he didn't know me with, he didn't even pay attention since he had chattering with the ready of our teammates. That was when I conceived the plan, I was just carried away by rage. Chrissy would hate me, she'd never love me again. What have I done now?
I swear that I didn't want to go through with this, I was angry at first. It was the time that Dayle and I never interacted—I just wanted to pay back for being insensible.
It was unfair to think something like that towards him but fuck I was furious—he was taking Chrissy away from me. I acted stupid, I know. I also thought that I had sorted things out but I was wrong.
Now the problem is, why did Leon post the video despite my warming and dissolved agreement? I paid him without pushing through with the plan, he showed me proof that he had deleted the video and now what happened?
Fuck me, I'm so goddamn stupid and evil. My friends would hate me forever.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
*Meet me at the addy I'll be sending to you!*
I text Leon, I have to talk to him right now.
*Why? I'm fucking busy!*
He texts back. That is an absurd reply.
*Don’t play with me or you'll have your shoulder to look over. Meet me to NOW!*
I reply back, if only he could see how mad I am.
*K!*
He replies, I grab a jacket and wallet and storm off.
When Mom asks where I'm headed, I just tell her that I'm headed to the mall. She lets me go without a second thought but then she's contemplating the matter.

I pull over at the address that I texted Leon, I pace back and front, I'm restless. My phone starts to ring, I take a peek at my cellphone, it's Dayle. Fuck! He's been trying to reach me but I've been ignoring his calls. In summary, he'd think that I'm mad at him not knowing that I'm guilty of the thing that I had done. I'm fully aware that this is not going to go well.
I switch off my cellphone, I sight Leon pulling car next to where I'm parked.
He steps out walking over to me with an expressionless look on his face.
“You son of a bitch, what the fuck went wrong?” I throw a punch at him, I caught him of guard. He almost fumbles to the ground, his lips starts to bleed.
“Egan, fucking calm—”
His voice starts shaking, I throw another punch at him.
“What did you do? Do you know what this has costs me now?” I yell, I can feel my veins popping out. My hands rub my hair backwards, ferociously. It takes a minute for him to gain composure.
“Egan, I had nothing to do with this... All of it.”
I turn to him swiftly. “If you fucking lie to me again, I swear that I'm going to end you.”
“I'm very honest. I didn't do it! Someone did it—”
“Who did?”
“I'm... I'm yet to find out! I promise!”
“Do you know what I wanna do with you right now? I want to hurt you very badly. I paid you a thousand dollars to NOT post that up, I told you that I had changed my mind but you fucking went ahead to do it... You breached!”
“I didn't do anything, I got the cash and backed down...”
“So what fucking happened?”
“I... I didn't mean to do—I was on the edge!” he raises his voice at me, that reaction is wrecking me and getting me pissed off the more.
“The edge?” I scoff. “The edge. I'll give you 24 hours to erase that from the blog, you know exactly how to run this shit, so do it.” I warn him jerking his neck by the collar. He starts struggling to catch his breath and so I let him go.
“You... You... You wanna fucking kill me? Do it! You have so much to lose! I wasn't the one who pleaded to make this a scandal—you did. You made me do it and so what changed? If it's about that bitch ass $1000, I'll refund it and there's nothing more you can do—”
“Are you threatening me?” I ask him staring at him in an askant manner. I chuckle shortly. “Do you wanna really graduate? Great! I know that you're not so much of a money guy and you know what happens when I fucking step in! I know where you live, I know that your mother is a cleaner that you hate to show off, don't forget. She'd lose her job and what happens to your dead ass?” I scoff. “Leon I know you, you have no balls. I liked you but since you've decided to play a fast one on me then so be it. Let's see what happens. 24 hours to erase it or your mother and little cottage? You choose!”
I head back to my car, I enter and speed away while he stands back there starting at me like I'm the worst person on earth. Well, I'll be the worst if this situation doesn't get rectified.
*Steve*
Dayle has got to be kidding me. He decided to two-time me because he didn't want to be the only who'd be threatened over a sex tape or what? Because of him, I'm looked at with a dead eye, because of him I have lost Lauren—she believes that I played her meanwhile I did nothing wrong. Fuck. Why, Dayle? I've done noting but supported you whether right or wrong, how could you betray me like this? I thought that you were better than Egan. I didn't know that you were this petty too.
Since you've decided to pay me back this way, I have no option than to upload our Fuck-list. Hemsville has got to know what the three of us are made up. We are a bunch of bad people with selfish desires. Nothing more. I'll destroy us all, I I won’t be the only one to lose—we would all lose.
I see Lauren’s car approaching her house, I was told that she gone out with her friends. I had to wait, she's worth the wait anyway.
When she sees me, she steps out of the car and throw a heavy slap to my face. I freeze. I swallow up, my lips part to speak but another heavy slap follows and again, I swallow up. I try to speak and then she hits me harder than she's done with the first two. Fuck.
She's going to kill me. I rub my face for some seconds.
“I can easily—”
“How could you do this to me? How could you treat me like this? I thought you said that you loved me—was that all trash talks? Do you know the what you gave done to me? I have no face at Hemsville. I could be expelled—”
“You won't. I'll fix things, I promise you. I didn't do this, Lauren please believe me, I didn't do this. I'd never do this to you—”
“Anothet huge lie!” she yells at me with tears filling every corner of her eyes. I hate to see her this way, it breaks my heart to know that she hates me right now. “I thought that you were better than your crew but it's all clear to me, you all the same. PLAYERZ!” she adds angrily.
“Lauren—”
“No Steve, I really adored you but it's over now. It's over between us. Perhaps you were stuck with me all those tomes just to play saint!” I try to explain again but she cuts me short. “You have nothing to explain, you shared our private with your fucking friend, everyone knows that Dayle is bad. You shared it with him, it's not fair. What are you trying to prove—thay you’ve finally fucked me?” she breaks down in tears. “This should last time I'd ever see you near me or my property. I'll pay back everything you did to me. If this was fun to you, it's not fun to me!”
I watch her enter her car, she drives into the premises as soon as the gates automatically open. For this thing that they've caused me, we will all lose.
*Molly*
Not even the smoothie I'm sipping from is measuring to my expectations, Lauren could have hurt in a more crucial way, compared to the things she did to me.
In as much as I want to post a petty comeback post at Lauren’s tape, I still can't do that. I have a reputation to protect and for the record, Dayle would have to explain why he did that to her when he's fully aware that I have him to discomfit. But come to think of it, Dayle can do stupid things but he's not stupid. He knows that I would not spare him and so why did he go ahead to post that video? Did he really post that video or did he get hacked? He can't be stupid enough to heap coals on his head. I'll have to deal scuss with him and Chrissy as well.
Honestly, Lauren got her share of the tragedy. I remember clearly from last semester, she laughed to my face, reminding me that I was now a total loser and she'd get the chance to take over my position but now tables have turned. She lost. I have to comeback at her one way or the other at least to kwr her know that I haven't forgotten the things that she had done to me. She did hurt me and it still hurts. I mean she used to be my best friend.
I grab my cellphone and enter her Insta page, I enter her the message box.
*Karma is your bitch for the rest of the semester!*
