Harm 0/4 | Experience 0/5 | Conditions:

gently caress. This weekend blew. I had to change before they showed up, and stay in the house all weekend. They didn't say to do that, but going out and meeting the neighbors would probably have pissed them off. So I had to stay cooped up in my room, waiting for when my parents would be back and start asking if I was "ready to come back home." gently caress no I'm not, at least not with what they want. The good thing was that I had my Switch to keep me occupied. Last time I was there I didn't get much time to pack and I guess I thought I wouldn't be out too long. So it's been in my room this whole time. In fact, I took it back with me. I didn't tell my parents I was doing that, but they didn't exactly forbid me from taking it, so...whatever. It's still hidden back in the apartment. I'm kind of worried about what Jessie might do if he sees it. gently caress if I know what that creep is thinking when he just sits there and watches.

But for now things are looking up. Ivy is whispering in my ear about hanging out later. I smile and turn around. "Sure!" I take her hand and squeeze it. "Mine loving sucked too."

Christ, loving Chastity is going off on Ivy because of her lovely boyfriend. I look over at Ivy when she talks about us being together. I...don't know. I'd like to get to know Ivy better though. And I wouldn't mind kissing her again. So...maybe. Yeah, I think so. I turn to Chastity - time for her to shut the gently caress up.

"Not her fault you let Ryan get away with whatever he wants to do. Maybe bring it up with him before running your loving mouth off? Just a thought." I turn back to Ivy.

I back up, trying to throw my arms up to block him but he keeps going. gently caress! gently caress, no, I can't just let him hurt me like this.

Where did she go? Did she run off when we started fighting? I sigh, and look down at my desk. I can't just let Jessie threaten and attack me later. I have to figure out how to get him to back off.

"And which boy at this school is going after Ryan? Unless you're volunteering to take one for the team? I mean, you're cute and all Gary but I don't think Ryan has ever shown any interest in guys to match the interest he has at any girl unfortunate enough to catch his creepy eyes."

I head to the locker room to shower. "I need to clean up before the next class," I tell Ivy. Although it's kinda also because her smell is still on me - not that I mind, but I don't want everyone else in class know what's going on.

As I step into the showers and start the water running, I think of what we could do. "You know Ivy, if humiliating Ryan is the plan...I could fight him. If he lost to me, especially in front of everyone else, they'd probably make fun of him for it."
