>It's been a few weeks since everything. Graduation was more or less waived, a little diploma sitting on my desk, gathering dust. My phone buzzes, again. Starting to become a normal thing now. Nothing good though.
>Another hate message. Seems that Trish has been telling everyone I pushed Fang off the roof, caused the whole incident, abused her. Anything she can. I don't care much. Can't care much. It's the latest thing she's on that's starting to boil my blood.
>Insisting that Fang and I planned this together. I don't mind her stomping on my reputation, like there was anything good there to begin with but throwing Fang under the bus? She's not even been gone a month and you're already spitting on her grave?
>I'm shaking at the thought. Not like I can do anything. Just have to hope it blows over. Just wait until she gets tired of this or runs out of ears to fill with lies. Phone goes off again.
>I stare at the thing and consider just throwing it out the window. Nothing but a source of pain and strife. Whatever. I check the messages. Walls of random numbers I don't recognize calling me every slur you can think of. I just stare at the walls of text, eyes not really focused.
>Yet one catches my eye. Trish has messaged me herself, a few days ago. Her contact still in my phone. I open it to see she's taunting me, telling me about how I deserve to be in that grave instead of Fang. Warning me she'll whip my ass if she ever sees me.
>I return it to it's spot on the desk and decide to step out. I'm out of food and my survival instinct refuses to let me starve myself.
>It's a quick walk to the cornerstore to grab something. Doesn't matter what. From the first few steps I can tell I'm being followed. Hair stands on the back of my neck.
>I round a corner and turn, hand on the knife in my pocket. Dangerous game you're playing with a man with nothing to lose.
