WARNING- Contains harsh words, foul language, and sexual harassment comments.

The next week after everything had settled down school continued like usual except....

Erica passed by other people, she looked up and saw all of them staring at her. Whispers, shady looks and mocking some of her walking.

" did you hear what she did to Zander?"

"Oh god yeah, how could she do that? He was her boyfriend."

A guy came up to her, a cynical smile on his face that made her skin crawl. He grabbed her arm and said, " Hey slut, you want some extra cash or some other kind of payment?"  Laughed then pushed her away. As she hit the lockers, all the other students fled the halls and went into separate classrooms.

"w-what? what do you mean. I haven't done anything for you to call me that." She put on her bravest face. "Where is Zander?" she thought, " Why isn't he here?" 

Oh you didn't know?" the guy responded, " Your boy Zander told us you cheated on him with another guy. So we are just repaying your debt, we took down all the cameras to avoid being caught, so you have no evidence of what we are about to do, Oh we also took you the farthest away from teachers rooms to avoid, Ya know your screaming being heard that much." His tongue slide across his teeth as he eyed her up and down while he snickered.

He reached to his side pocket and grabbed out a small knife. " WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THAT!" Erica screamed her breathing now getting uneven. 

"Oh this?" he ran his tongue over the blade, " This is what I am using as your payment." He winked at he as she swallowed, sweat pricking her pale skin. Her hands shaking now he got his friends to restrain her wrists as he slowly stepped towards her. He brought the knife up to her throat, seeing her panicking and her about to scream signaled to one of his friends to muffle her. A larger, stronger guy put his hand on her mouth, her eyes darting back and forth between the man with the knife and the man muffling her.

He pushes the knife into her skin pricking a deep red blood. Tears come falling down her face.

The man notices this smirks saying, "Oh it hurts does it? Lets see how much more we can get out of you before you learn to not hurt others!" His smirk turns into a look which makes Erica turn a paler shade of white, all color drained from her. 

He pulled up her sleeves, she began shaking her head no, no,no. But all that did was make the man more eager to hurt her, he began to cut.

Meanwhile in one of the classrooms was a Grace as pissed off as usual.

Grace was sitting at her desk and noticed people were off, they had a look on their faces of pure anger and hate. It made her uneasy. They were always mean and spiteful but not like this.

Out of nowhere, the hair on the back of her neck stood on end, a visual image of Erica in pain flashed into sit. It made her jump.

She stood up, asking one student who looked particularly sketchy, " where is erica?"

" Oh you mean the whore, the guys got her!" She flinched

"what... Guys?"  She asked not even caring what they just called her friend.

" oh the ones repaying the pain she put Zander in." and signaled "All the way down the hall, your lucky if she is still conscious." The person sneered

" Now for saying such shit about my friend" Grace turned around grabbed the student by the shoulder her eye twitching. She kneed him in the ribs and ran down the halls.

Erica was screaming but it was muffled. Grace slide and hit her head on the open locker someone forgot to close. Cussing in pain she continued to run holding her head. 

Finally she got to the spot where the muffled pained sounds were coming from. She saw three guys around Erica. 

" HEY! GET AWAY FROM HER NOW!" Grace growled, the man holding the knife backed up a bit put up his hands in surrender. The other guys backed up as well. Erica slumped to the ground her arms bloody and sleeves torn. marks on her neck symbolize they made moves on her as well.

" ERICA!" Grace ran over to her and fell to her knees, " Oh my fucking god are you okay?" She asked clearly very angry. All that Erica could do was shake her head no. Graces blood boiled, something was building in her gut and she knew she was gonna loose it.

"o-o-oh," the man mocked, " did princess get hurt?" He chuckled with his friends. 

What the hell did YOU do?!"

" Just paying back what needed to be done."

Grabbing his collar at the speed of light, she punched him over and over again till she dropped him to the ground, his heavy body falling with a loud sound. One of his friends tried attacking her.

He took out a dagger and began running towards her. Her head turned, glared at him her eyes flashing a bright green, he flinched and stopped mid run the dagger dropping, he tried running but something caught him by the ankle of which felt like thorns dragging him back. 

His other friend got her around the throat and pulled her down. Gagging for air she hit him in the side, which gave her enough time to stand up and get punched in the face, by the one and only torturer of her best friend. He struggled to stand, wiping his face of the blood, " You will not win princess." 

She looked up at Erica who was shaking in fear, she mouthed to her, " Go to Alex's house, NOW!"

She punched the ground as Erica ran as fast as she could.

She faced the guys, signalling to bring them all they had and fight. She smirked and said, " I ALWAYS WIN!"
