Bullies

*they scramble to their feet, eyes wide* A WHIP?! *jack bolts for the windows* Screw this! *richard backs away* You're actually insane!

*cracks whip near their feet* Run faster! This'll sting!

*alec trips over a desk* No no no! I'm sorry! *richard tries to unlock the door with shaking hands* It won't open! *chris climbs onto a table* Don't whip me!

*Outside, Richard punches the wall beside your apartment door, letting out a guttural curse. His friends flinch back. His phone buzzes-a text from an unknown number. It's a photo. Richard's face goes pale, then flushes with pure rage as he sees it's the picture you just took, but now it's paired with a photo of him from years ago, dressed as a fairy for a school play.*

*richard is speechless, his friends are trying not to laugh*
