This time, I didn’t tell Dustin anything about
Tiffany.
But there was no guarantee they wouldn’t try
to hurt me again.
I treasured this second chance.
I immediately asked the teacher to move my
seat, far away from them.
I also signed up for a kickboxing class.
Next time they came after me, I’d punch them
in the face.
But when I saw the instructor, I froze.
Was that Brandon?
The tough guy who was harassing Tiffany
before, a real pain.
He didn’t recognize me, so I pretended.
nothing was wrong and started practicing.
Г
After the first day, I collapsed on the mat,
back aching.
Brandon wiped his sweat, looked at me.
smiling. “Your technique is terrible. Extra hour
of practice tomorrow.”
I wanted to die.
Then I thought of Tiffany, and gritted my
teeth. “Okay!”
After a few days, my opinion of Brandon
completely changed.
He wasn’t as mean as I thought. He was really
patient in class, helped me with my punches
and kicks.

I heard he owned the place.
No wonder he never lost a fight.
After kickboxing, I checked my phone and
saw a video a classmate had sent me.
Confused, I opened it.
I was shocked.
Dustin acted so cold to me, but he was pretty relaxed with Tiffany.
In the video, Dustin was on his knees in front
of Tiffany, who was sitting in a chair with her legs crossed.
Looks like he lost some kind of game.
Everyone around them was cheering, telling
him to lick Tiffany’s shoe, and say, “I want to
be your lapdog forever.”
It was so humiliating.
Dustin hesitated, face turning red.
But everyone was putting pressure on him.
Tiffany’s friends kept saying, “If you don’t do
it, it means you don’t love Tiffany.”
Tiffany leaned back, watching him with
amusement.
Didn’t even say a word to stop them.
Finally, Dustin stuck out his tongue.
Screams erupted, and the video ended
I tsked a couple times, wondering what his
parents would think if they saw this.
They’d probably faint.
