-Penelope Marshall-

Penelope awoke to a knock on her door. She walked over and opened it. "Hey sis." It was her step brother. Penny stepped back. "What do you want Steven?" He smiled. "Mom and dad are leaving around lunch for a business trip and wont be back till real late. They said to just come home and hang out." Chills went down her spine. She nodded and he left, shutting the door behind him. She got dressed and headed downstairs for breakfast. Penny ate her fill of frech toast and milk, then waited for the bus. She checked her phone when it rang, unknown number. She read the text, hit reply, and typed "Who are you? How do you know my name? How did you know this stuff?"

Valerie woke up as the early morning light was streaming in through the window. Valerie groaned and grabbing a fist full of her sheets, she savored the last moments of free time before the start of school. 10 months of hell that she'd never get back. Valerie leapt of her bed, jumping into a twirl in front of her mirror. She was average looking. She had long ombre hair and tanned skin. She took a short glance at herself in the mirror and headed to her dresser. She hated looking at herself. It made her seem vain. Valerie grabbed a pair of jeans and slipped into a orange plaid button up shirt. She left the top 3 buttons unbuttoned but enough so no unnecessary skin was shown. Valerie sighs and heads downstairs.

Valerie checked the clock in the kitchen. It was early that her parents were gone but she wasn't late for school yet. Valerie went to the cupboard and grabbed a bowl, along with milk and her favorite cereal. She began to pour the milk in with her cereal when her phone buzzed. Valerie arched her eyebrows. She didn't usually get texts before school. Valerie walked hesitantly towards her phone. But she did reach it. And when she did, she immediately regretted it.

To: Valerie
"Hey Val! What did they do to that guy who kidnapped and beat you? What about your rapist? You sure do have some bad luck dont ya sweetie ;P"

Valerie's eyes widened and it was as if the air was cut off to her lungs. Valerie dropped her phone as it clattered against the wood flooring of the kitchen. Valerie gripped the counter tightly, her breath going in and out fast. Her heart was beating rapidly and her ears were pounding. Hundreds of thoughts circulated her head in the following moments. Who sent her the text? How did they know? What did they want? Valerie jumped out of her daze and scrambled for her phone. Valerie hit send new message and sent whoever the sender was a message:

"Who the hell are you? How do you know that? Are you a stalker? What do you want with me?"

Valerie grabbed her phone and got on the bus. Soon enough she made it to school where the kids trickled in. Valerie had her leather knapsack slung over her left shoulder and she was wandering the halls looking for her locker when her phone buzzed. Valerie pulled out her phone and read the message.


To: Valerie
"I'm no stalker. I am just a well informed foe ;) And all you need to do is sit tight and look cute. I will let you know when you can be of use."


Valerie bit her lip. She couldn't make a scene right now. Not in the hall at least. Valerie felt like screaming. She knew she should feel better knowing she didn't have a stalker but knowing someone knew her secrets was worse than learning she had a stalker. Valerie's body went rigid as she tucked her phone in her pocket and found an empty locker. She shoved her stuff inside and pulled out her phone. Valerie hit send new message and typed:

To: A
"Who said I was gonna do your dirty work? I'm not gonna be blackmailed by some bitch. Leave me alone."

Valerie pulled out her books and went to class. On her way there her phone beeped. Valerie braced herself. It was A. Again. Valerie read the text over and over, soaking it in. Someone knew valerie's secrets and they were gonna blackmail Valerie. They didn't even care if they had to expose her secrets to get her to do it. Valerie shivered. She felt exposed knowing someone knew her secrets. Valerie hit send new message and typed:

To: A
"Fine I'll do your dirty work just don't tell anyone you bitch."

Valerie slipped into the class. She was late so everyone's eyes wold be on her. She hated attention. Valerie slipped into a empty seat at the back of the class and sighed. She needed t find out who A was.

Valerie sat in her seat but noticed a chatter that overpowered the teacher's babble about the lesson. Valerie listened closely. Something about a text? What if Valerie wasn't the only one getting the texts? Valerie balled her fists and slipped out of her seat to an empty one closer to the group. "Don't mean to barge in on your conversation but you've been getting texts? Are they... blackmailing you? Because I mean I'm like not getting texts like that its just, uh a question y'now?" Valerie says awkwardly. She doesn't want to tell them about the texts unnecessarily because if they aren't getting them they will suggest calling the police and thats not what Valerie wanted to do. Then Valerie's phone buzzes. She slides her phone out and hides it under the desk, sneaking a glance.

To: Valerie
"I will let you know what you need to do later :) Glad you saw things my way."

Valerie shook her head and tucked her phone back in her pocket. This bitch was going down.

Kenz was feeling more calm, with help from the drug. She felt her phone buzz twice, she really just wanted to chuck the phone but she didn't. She opened the first text "girls night?I thought...you kno nvm have a great time with her." She lets out a small sigh, hoping she wasn't going to regret having the girls night, hoping Dustin doesn't get too upset with her. We can spend tomorrow night together, promise quickly responding then opened the second text "Good so you will tell Penny a secret tonight...Or I will tell everyone a secret of MY choice ;)" Kenz was getting really frustrated with this -A- person and decided not to respond. She quickly left the bathroom and went back to the class room, her eyes looking a bit glazed. As she sits down she hears Valerie "Don't mean to barge in on your conversation but you've been getting texts? Are they... blackmailing you? Because I mean I'm like not getting texts like that its just, uh a question y'now?" Kenz turned to her "yeah im getting the text and this person pretty much knows everything about me they go by -A- but I just call them Bitch" she whispered in a low voice so only the group could hear.

Dustin looked at Kenz."Kenzie,Your getting those texts too." Dustin wasen't paying much attention to the discussion and decided to just butt in.He read the text from Makenzie quickly and rubbed his forehead and texted a reply.Yuhp,sure Makenzie. he leaned in a bit towers the group."Yeah same here just been getting random texts from an unknown source it starting to piss me off"

Lauren-
Lauren listened to the group then penny."I agree stress Is uh bad for us" she tapped her hand against her thigh.Tryingnto forget about everything that's going on."Hey guys we should stop talking about this -A- .Just in case,You know what I'm saying?"

Valerie listened to a girl talk. She nodded. And then a girl entered the class. She sat down and turned to Valerie. "yeah im getting the text and this person pretty much knows everything about me they go by -A- but I just call them Bitch" the girl whispers. Valerie's body goes rigid. And then a boy pipes up, "Kenzie,Your getting those texts too." the boy said. He continued, "Yeah same here just been getting random texts from an unknown source it starting to piss me off" So it wasn't just Valerie? "I've been getting those... This A girl knows a lot. I wonder how.... This Bitch is going down, I swear. I will find out who this bitch is even if I have to die trying." Valerie whispers in a rushed tone. She looks at everyone else.

Kenz looked to Dustin "yeah I am getting them..." she sighed and felt her phone buzz once more, seeing the text from Dustin, she knew tomorrow night when she goes to Dustin's they probably will have a fight. Shaking her head she looked to Valerie hearing the girl "I've been getting those... This A girl knows a lot. I wonder how.... This Bitch is going down, I swear. I will find out who this bitch is even if I have to die trying." then she heard Draco "Hell ,i'll help you. Bitch is going to pay." She agreed with both of them "Oh yeah ill be more then willing to help out take the bitch out. I can not deal with this right now. I can't have my secrets out there ya know?"

Lauren:
Lauren looked at the girl Makenzie.[b]"Oh yeah ill be more then willing to help out take the bitch out. I can not deal with this right now. I can't have my secrets out there ya know?"/[b] and nodded her head "Totally agreed I'll help out,this chick needs to go now!Most importantly we need to find out who this bitch is,after we find out who she is...."she trailed off not knowing what to say after that.

Dustin:
Dustin looked at all of them."I will help,no one needs to know my secrets.Or anybody elses." he looked over at Kenzie knoing they shared at least one secret,but he still wondered what other secrets she had.He looked over at everybody else bitting his lip,he knew this chick had to be brought down.

"So what is this? Club Kick-A's-Ass?" Penny asks. "Pretty much..." Val laughs. The teacher then begins to hand out sheets. "Wanna work together? It wont take long with me." Penny asks and Val smiles. "Yea we can work together I guess. I'll be done in like 10 minutes" Lauren says. "Yeah that'd be cool... It takes me about a good 15 minutes to get this done..." Val whispers as she examines the sheet and begins to jot down the answers to the questions.

Val had just finished when the loud bang happened. Val, despite being in the middle of class, Stood up abruptly and rushed to the window. She couldn't see anything and then her phone buzzed. She took it out and read a text.

To: Valerie
"Game on ;) Sorry bout the glass"

"Game on Bitch..." She texted in reply and slid her phone into her pocket. She took her seat and looked at Penelope. She'd been the closest to the window so she was cut with glass. "Hey you okay? We should take you to the nurses office.." Val suggests

"Yeah..." Val said as she rushed to join her friends.. "I don't feel safe here... Hell I don't feel safe at all now... Val followed close behind the pack. "If that bitch is willing to hurt one of my friends, shes willing to die.." Val grits through her teeth.

Valerie sighed. Everyone was just leaving school, leaving Valerie behind. The she hears Lauren pipe up, "Y'all wanna skip too?". Valerie nods. "I don't feel safe alone and everyone else has their own stuff to do so I got nothing better to do. And I just don't feel like staying at school...

Lauren looked at valerie."Yeah,I agreee lets go."she smiled at her and grabbed her hand pulled her out of the classsroom,heading to the lockers."okay,so where do you want to go?"she asked Valerie and dropped her hand.

Dustin rolled his eyes and walked out of the classroom,his stomach began working up again so he ran to his car,into the center console and took a sip of his whisky and relaxed a bit.once the chrones died down for a little bit.He drove back to his house and locked himself in his room to get drunk.

((yes finally back!))

"Yeah,I agreee lets go." Lauren says to Valerie as she takes her hand. Valerie nodded as she trailed behind Lauren as she led Val to the lockers. "Okay,so where do you want to go?" Lauren asks. Valerie shrugs. "I could go for some food... Whatever you want to do." Valerie says to Lauren as she drops her hands.

"I could go for some food... Whatever you want to do."Lauren looked at her."okay...lets go somewhere to eat."she thought fpr a moment.She didnt want to go home to her father or stay here."Alright uhm lets just get to my car and we can get out of here."

"Okay...lets go somewhere to eat." Val nods and waits for Lauren to come up with a suggestion. "Alright uhm lets just get to my car and we can get out of here." Lauren says and Val nods. "We could go to a pizza place... There is a good one a couple blocks away..?" Val suggests as they walk to her car.

Lauren nodded at val and walked out to her car avoding eye contact with anybody and hopped in.She put the key in the ignition and waited for Val."So did this -A- person say anything else to you,like doing tasks?or something?"she asked,she was curiouse and just plained pist off.It was starting to get hot so she turned the air coditioner on,she refused to take off her sweatshirt and show her scars,so she put it on high waiting for Val to get in and answer her.

Lauren nods to Val and finds comfot knowing they'd go somewhere familliar. This -A- stuff and blackmailing shit was not normal for Val.. She was always the outcast that nobody paid much attention too. Lauren hopped in the car, sticking the key in the ignition and Val slid into the passenger seat. "So did this -A- person say anything else to you,like doing tasks?or something?" Val hesitated before saying, "No... Not yet.... But she mentioned 'needing' me so I'm scared... What if its something so horrible that I wont be able to do... And you saw what happened to Penny today in class! What if she does.... Something worse?" Val sighs and wipes her teary eyes. Val was scared. Val felt the air conditioning. Val shivered and goosebumps rolled up her shoulders but Val said nothing.
