Synopsis
He caught hold of her leg and yanked backwards. She hung on and flailed both legs, kicking him in the head, the face. He fought to hold her legs down. Sweat lathered her hands. They slipped from the post. He yanked again. She rolled over to face him and punched with both fists. Her right fist caught him in the eye. He growled in pain, then threw himself on top of her, pinning her arms and legs. She screamed.She strained to free herself, lunged up to bite him. He jerked backwards. They slid down one stair. She tried to scream again. He slapped a palm over her mouth, his breath hot on her face.She fought him until they had tumbled down every stair. By the time they reached the bottom, every ligament burned. She stared at him wide-eyed, gasping for breath between his bruising fingers.She trembled violently, longed to run again but knew it would do no good. He stood at a good seven inches taller and outweighed her by at least fifty pounds. She didn't stand a chance.All she could do now was placate him. Do what he wanted... no matter what it was!

1: Prologue.
The Larson family... No doubt the most influential family in California. A family of really important people. The mayor, District attorney, owner of a really successful company, lawyers... This family seems to have it all.
Casey, an insanely handsome jock, with a killer smile, well toned muscular body and regrettably really beautiful eyes... Surely he's as good as he seems...
NOT!
Being the Mayor's nephew gives him an edge... An advantage over everybody else. He's favoured by teachers, admired by his peers, loved by his family... Well most of his family. Casey has it all!
He can do whatever he wants in that school and get away with it. All he has to do is flash the principal his million dollar smile and he's off the hook. They all fall for it. Even I almost fell for it.
But behind that charming smile and beautiful eyes... Behind that strong charismatic personality... Behind that innocent angelic face, lies a monster!
Casey McKay Larson... Envied by all, adored by most... He just can't seem to reciprocate the love people send his way. The only person this devilish guy shows affection to is his cousin, the mayor's daughter, Connie.
Their relationship is actually admireable. Those two are basically unbreakable. One might even confuse them for a couple. They just get along that well.
Casey would even kill for her... And she'd risk her life for him.Unfortunately, not everyone is fortunate enough to experience 'Angel Casey mode' like Connie is... And I, Sarah Blanche Vance, am one of those unfortunate people. In fact, I'm the ultimate unfortunate person,because Casey has never really treated me like a human being, or even shown me an ounce of compassion.
The compassion part, I'm not really complaining... I can live without his compassion,but I definitely cannot live with him bullying and torturing me everytime he feels like it. That life SUCKS!
It sucks that I have to be the one to deal with the arrogant-devil Casey all the time. One can't even imagine that we were once childhood friends. I've even been to several sleepovers at their place... And yet, that doesn't make me any different from a total stranger he's met on the streets. If anything, he seems to hate me more and more with each passing day, and he doesn't miss a chance to remind me everytime we cross paths.
Why do I have to be so unlucky, and why does Casey have to treat me like I'm inferior to him, like don't belong here, like I don't deserve to breathe the same air he does? I'm simply a pest in his life, a thorn in his side, some kind of leprosy he wants to get rid of.
I don't get why he despises me so much. Why he can't be as sweet and understanding and gentle and kind like Connie is. But I guess the two of them took after their fathers. Not that I'm saying Casey's dad us horrible and Connie's father is an angel, actually, I think that's exactly what I'm saying, but I'm not saying it out loud.
Upto now, I still don't get where I went wrong... What I did to Casey to earn such hated from him. But I suppose it must have been something really awful... I just don't remember what... Maybe I hit my head hard and lost my memory?
Ever since we were little, since that fateful 'accident', Casey has made it his top priority to bully me... Make my life a living hell ...make sure I have no peace. I mean, he pushed me down the stairs for God's sake! Did he really intend on killing me?
I have tried everything in my power to stay far away from him. But it's pretty much useless when he keeps on looking for meat school just to make fun of me.
And if that's not enough, Connie has the tendency of inviting me over at her place for sleepovers. And Casey basically lived there, and he really hates it when I spend the night.
My life has never really been easy. And everyday, I simply ask myself if it's all worth it... If all this pain and suffering is worth it. Will the pain ever end? Or should I take it upon my hands to end it myself.
Cause everyone has a breaking point... And I think I've extended mine for way too long!

~*Sarah*~"This is my favorite part of the school," Kenzie stated as she led the group into the gym, "It's where my cheerleading career began. It also happens to be where I was crowned homecoming queen,""Hold on a sec," Natalya interrupted Kenzie for the eighth time... Yes! I've been counting! "I thought this was a tour of the school, not your life story,"Something tells me that Natalya isn't exactly fond of Kenzie... And the feeling seems mutual. The two have been bickering with each other since the tour began."Come on Nat, let the girl share her accomplishments," a guy, who I earlier found out was Natalya's boyfriend, Raymond, stated."We aren't interested in her 'accomplishments'___""Speak for yourself! I wanna hear them all," a guy commented."If you don't want my tour, feel free to hang at the back with Sarah,""Even death by decapitation sounds better than having to listen to you,""That won't be much of a problem... I happen to know a guy___""Hey! Can we check out the cafe

SarahHere I am with a shovel in my hand, in a cemetery, digging my own grave!Okay fine, greatly exaggerated.But I may as well be doing that with the decision I'm about to make. I'll probably be dead by the end of the day. I wasn't at all certain about it... But come on, when have I really been certain about anything in my life? One thing I was slightly certain about though was that I was making a huge mistake being here. And I made a huge mistake agreeing to be a tour guide in Rory's little suicidal tour group. I still had a voice at the back of my head telling me it's a terrible idea. Casey warned me to stay away from Connie... But here I am, at the parking lot with Rory, about to begin this tour.I was freaking out, for different reasons of course. It was enough that I had to be social for God-knows how long. Add the fact that I had to do this with Kenzie. This tour might basically be the last thing I do before my life comes to an end. I heard Rory mention something about Crown

Sarah.Staying away from Connie can't be that hard right? Except it's Connie we're talking about. Even if I was to stay away from her, there is no reassurance that she'll do the same.As I walked from my final class of the day, towards my locker, I heard my name being called from behind me. I looked behind but saw no one... at least nobody who would call me.Though cometo think of it, who really would?It's one of the perks of being friendless, who get to happily live without people calling your name! But when I felt someone tap on my shoulder, I knew it was more than just my imagination."What, are you ignoring me now?" said the cheerful voice I'd basically recognize anywhere.
Last Updated : 2022-01-10Not all who wander are lost 14: Temporary truce.
Sarah.So that's it. I guess the decision is basically final. And there's nothing that can be done about it. I guess all I can do is hope and pray that Connie isn't one of the twenty six Crown students that are coming to Berry. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she goes to 'Hearst' or something... just not here!Since the dismissal of the assembly, 'Crown students coming to Berry' is all everyone is talking about.Some people were actually excited... the school band most especially. It's a fact that the Crown Lake Academy's school band is pretty talented. Their music is to die for... and I'm not kidding. The school band is miraculously taking their arrival extremely positively.Others on the other ha

Sarah.I am so not psyched about this whole back to school thing... and that should really say something considering I'm the biggest nerd at school. School is my happy place... my safe haven. Or it was, before Casey came along and spoilt everything. He has been doing everything in his power to ruin my life ever since he transferred here... and so far, he's basically been successful.And now I'm here at the school gym, as is everybody else, waiting for the principal's announcements. They said it was 'super important'... a 'life-changing' announcement. Nobody seems to have a clue as to what he was talking about, but I guess that was why we were all here.A paper ball landed on my head, and I heard a few laughters from behi

Casey Connie nervously paced outside the restaurant. We could all see her from where we sat. This is the twenty second phone call since she was informed about the fire at their school. And I'm not kidding, I've been counting! I saw her frustratedly grab her hair, but when she saw me watching her, she simply shot me a small smile, then turned the other way so I couldn't see her expression. Natalya, being the drama queen that she's always been, hasn't stopped crying. I've always known she was emotional, just not to this extent. No offense, but it was almost annoying. This was the exact reason I avoid hanging out with her most of the time. Mike has been completely quiet the entire time. Just like me,
