Call You Mine

Arson

K.A.

One single flicker.

One spark, and everything went up in flames.

It burned slowly at first.

Then, then it all went ablaze.

And I watched.

I watched in satisfaction as my deed was done.

Karma.

He got what he had coming to him.

He did this.

I was merely a bystander as the world got to watch the mighty fall.

His world was ablaze.

It crumbled, burning to ash before his very eyes.

You reap what you sow.

Karma is alive.

I sat across from the detective. My eye was bruised and swollen. A cup of stale coffee sat untouched between us on the table that divided us. He spoke every word with authority. There was no warmth to his words of assurance.

"I want him punished", I said to the dean the moment the door was closed to the office.

The dean let out a chortle of surprise. "I beg your pardon, Kier-"

"Mr. Alexander is well", I interrupted.

The dean said nothing for a while after my blatant disrespect.

"Mr. Alexander, who do you want punished when you say 'him'?", the dean asked.

"Dean, your tendency to play ignorant is unbecoming of you. I will play along for a bit, but we both know who 'him' is", I blandly retorted.

"Kie-"

"Mr. Alexander, thank you", I interrupted again.

"Mr. Alexander", the dean paused to sigh before continuing. "I am truly unaware of which or whom you speak. Please, clarify what you are asking of me and on what grounds?", the dean questioned.

I tsked in annoyance. My bruised body was beginning to ache. I was bruised and battered. My girlfriend was probably worrying herself sick.

"I want Hayden, your golden boy, the face of this school punished. I want him punished for harassing my girlfriend. I want him punished for every student that has ever had to be victimized by him while being or living on this campus. Quite frankly, I am fucking tired of this shithead human being getting treated like a god while the rest of us suffer at his expense", I spat.

"Mr. Alexander, language. I will not be spoken to in such a manner. You will show me some r-"

"What? Respect? You wanna talk about respect? Where was the respect of your students when they were being terrorized by that imbecile? And do you know what your staff did? What you did? Nothing. You did nothing for the girls that complained of sexual misconduct from your golden boy. You did nothing when he physically assaulted me repeatedly. You did nothing when he forced one of his side pieces to abort their child to save face. You never do shit. You never do anything unless it is in the name of protecting your golden boy. Why? What is so special about Hayden? His grades are degenerate. He lacks manners. He is a complete tool and uses women like tissues. Tell me, what makes him so special from the rest of us?", I quipped.
