Your life was relatively okay until your mom had to transfer jobs and you had to move along with her. Moving to a different city didn't bother you as much as having to start over at a new school just the thought of having to start all over again didn't sit well with you and you didn't have much of a say in it. So you just sighed and decided to unpack your stuff and settle in to your new home.
The first couple of weeks went without much trouble you managed to make a couple of friends the teachers adored you . Things started to feel normal like you had gotten used to the change and started making happy memories in your new home.
About 2 months into the year you had your first big test you were determined to do your best at it. So you decided to go through as much material on the subjects as you could looking through the internet solving papers, the whole nine yards.
On one particular evening you decided to stay back and study in the library figuring you could concentrate better there. You were currently trying to find a book to look up a particular topic but you didn't quiet seem to be able to find it and it was late at this point so you didn't want to bother the librarian.
Looking at your frazzled expression a figure approached you drawing you out of your search.
"Can I help you?"
You turned back to be met with a smile. You had seen the boy around campus he was the student body president, scored the best grades and was a stellar athlete.
He always seemed kind to everyone so you didn't think twice before asking him to help you find the book to which he gladly obliged and even offered to help you study that way both of you could work together and it would be easier to finish since it was already getting pretty late. You happily agreed and both of you went back to your spot.
You were surprised as to how quick he was to pick up on the areas you tought him about and likewise he was also a really good teacher and helped you when you didn't understand something. Both of you worked really well together helping each other out so you decided to become study buddies and eventually became friends.
Both of you had been studying really hard together and the result of your first test came. And to Jake's surprise you scored better than him. Needless to say he was happy for you seeing your face light up made him feel warm inside.
A couple of days later your second test result came and again you scored more than him. He was still happy for you but he felt a slight tinge of jealousy brewing in him.
Another week passed and all your tests had been graded and in each one you stood on top of your class. The little spec of jealousy that was in him grew to consume him. How dare you take away the place that was rightfully his. In his mind you were stealing what was for him by right and he wasn't having any of it.
He worked just as hard as you of not harder but why were you the one doing better than him. He watched the teachers praise you. Those words of praise were meant to be for him not you.
He began to resent you. First it started off by just giving you the cold shoulder during class. You noticed him behaving differently towards you. Both of you were the best of friends now he barely even looked at you. You felt a little hurt but you tried your best to talk to him.
But he just ignored you. It wasn't wise to further bother him so you just let him be for now.
Until one day you were at the library completing your notes when you felt a cool liquid flow down your head and onto your hand written notes making the ink bleed and destroying the hours worth of hard work you put in.
When you lifted your head you saw Jake with a grin stretched across his face looking down on you. He leaned closer until your faces were only inches apart you could feel his breath tickle your face.
"That's what thief's like you deserve".
Was all he said before leaving you a sobbing mess in the library. You left your stuff and ran home.
How could he be so cruel you thought he was your friend.
But that was just the start of it. He kept torturing you at any chance he got. Pushing you down the hallway, cutting up your clothes, slashing your tires he did things you couldn't even think of in your wildest of thoughts.
But what was worse was when he got into your head. He was a smart guy and knew how to get into your little head. He started to spread rumors about you. He started to degrade you at any chance he got given his popularity everyone joined in on it.
Ruining you had become his obsession. He was obsessed with the idea of reducing you into nothing but a broken doll. Every day you were all that he thought about. You had consumed him. It no longer was his need to outperform you he just wanted you to be his.
You couldn't take it anymore. You just wanted to run away. The school year was coming to an end and you decided to transfer into a different school to get away from him.
Word of this got to him soon enough and he was shattered. How could you leave him you belonged to him.
You were peacefully sleeping in hope of going away and leaving him behind.
What you didn't know was that, it was never going to happen.
He broke the lock of your backyard window and snuck into your room.
Seeing you lay there peacefully sleeping brought back a smile to his face. He gently placed a damp cloth across your face making your body go limp.
As he tied you up and placed you in the back seat of his car.
