Principal Ashford’s office was heavy and thick with tension.On the right side of the long table was the Williams… Terry, Layla and Kelly and on the right side were the Turners… Lucas, his wife Margaret and Betty.Principal Ashford sat in the middle.Betty's face was now a mask of horror, red with numerous fingerprints and bruises, a blanket over her. She was shuddering and sobbing silently from the pain.Lucas Turner was stomping his feet angrily, his deadly eyes drifting from Kelly who returned his gaze to her father.“Welcome, parents.” Principal Ashford began, “Thank you all for coming. I must apologize for calling you all out like this in your busy schedules, but this is a serious matter that had to be dealt with with immediate effects.”Silence.Principal Ashford continued, “As you all know, Gem High School has always had zero tolerance for violence, any form of bullying and illicit acts.”“I don't care all about that, Ashford,” Lucas interrupted curtly, “I just need an explanat

The memories.The horrific memories.They came flooding back.The numerous stumping of the feet on his body as though he was trash, the punches, the mockeries, the bullyings… they came back.Luke sat horrified as he stared up at Ajax, his breath slow and raggedy.“Yo, man! How have you been?” Ajax asked, a contemptuous smile dangling on the side of his lips as he advanced closer to Luke, “It's been… what? Two years? It's been a long time, bro. After what happened back in high school, you just vanished off the face of the earth. So you were in Miami all along.”Sam noticed Luke's discomfort.“Luke, do you know him?”Ajax turned his head to Sam, then looked him from up to down, “Whoa. I guess you still a fag. You even got yourself a new boyfriend. What happened to the other one?”Sam sprang to his feet and came closer to Ajax, “Call him that one more time…” He snarled, “... and I won't guarantee your safety.”“Sam, don't!” Luke sprang to his feet.“Whoa, what's going on here?” The boys

Next Morning “Anything from the news?” Luke asked anxiously as he stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in towelSam shook his head, “No.”“Online?”“Nope. Nothing. Nada.”“Then that means he's not dead, right?”Sam nodded, “Yeah.”But Luke still wasn't relieved.“Even if he's not dead, he should be at least taken to the hospital, yeah? And the police would have gotten involved. But why is there nothing?”“What if they didn't call the cops because they know that they're the offenders? And there were a lot of eyewitnesses? Ever thought about that?”Luke sighed and then proceeded to put on his clothes.“If the cops aren't involved then, that's a good thing but also not a good thing.’“What do you mean?”“I know Ajax. He's an obnoxious bully, I don't think he'll rest till he finds me.”“Oh please, give me a break.”“Miami is way too big. There's no way he would find you. You worry too much. Besides, you have me. I can fight for you.”“Aww, that's so sweet.” Luke grabbed his phone and hea

“I'm sorry you had to do all that,” Trudy said apologetically as they walked back to campus.“Nah. It's okay.” Luke replied.Another awkward silence.“Was that… was that the first time you kissed a girl?” Trudy asked suddenly with a smile plastered across her face and Luke shook her head.“Uhh…” He thought for a while, “No.”“Ooh! Who was your first? Your girlfriend before you found out you were gay?”“Well, not really.” Luke said, “She was one of the many girls that used to have a crush on me back then. She umm… she was pretty cool actually and I liked her too but not that way though.”“Yeah.”“Back then, I began to realize that I was growing feelings for my then-best friend so I became scared. Scared of ruining our friendship, scared of being openly GAY. So I used her to experiment.” He paused and chuckled, “Thinking back now I feel bad toying with her emotions. When I kissed her then, I wasn't excited or enjoyed it as I thought I would. So then I realized that my then-best friend w

Megan heaved a deep breath and then knocked on the door.“Coming!”The door was opened a few minutes later by Layla.“Oh, Megan! What a pleasant surprise!” She said, “It's been quite some time since I've seen you.”“Hi, Mrs Williams.” She said awkwardly.“How have you been dear?”“Great.” Megan replied shortly, “Is Kelly in?”“Oh, yeah, she's upstairs in her room,” Layla stepped to the side, “Come on in, dear.”Megan stepped into the house and Layla shut the door. Megan stared around the house and realized just how much she had missed coming over.“Would you like to have some muffins?” Layla asked.“Yes. Thank you.”Layla left her in the foyer and went into the kitchen, then came back with some muffins.“Thank you, Mrs Williams. I'll be heading upstairs now.” Megan strode up the stairs, then down the hall to Kelly's door.She knocked, “Kelly?”No response came.She knocked again, “Kelly?”No response again.“I'm coming in,” She announced, turning the doorknob.Kelly was lying on her
