In a canteen of an unknown high school, three young boys were busy smoking weed. There was no one to force any rule over them, they were the bullies of the school. The boys were Leonardo Angelo, Shiva Tirparti and another random boy named Carlos Stark. Soon a girl walked into them, she seem frightening, “Angelo, have a minute?” she asked, brows frown, makeup messed.

All three boys pervert over at her. Angelo threw the weed and pulled his legs from the table, “What's going on?” he asked.

She looked over the table, “It's private.” she said, all sweating and all.

Angelo rolled his eyes, “There's nothing private from my boys. Tell or fuçk off.” he snapped. He was so full of fury back in his young days.

She looked down and burst into whimper, “I'm pregnant.” All three dropped their jaws in shock. Weed was being smoked no more.

“Julie?” Angelo stood up, “I can't be this thing's father.” he motioned his hand at her belly. Thing?

“You are.” she cried out loud. No one yet helped in her sober.

Angelo looked around glancing all over. He peered his friend sitting there, “Shiva, take her to abortion clinic.”

“No!” she whined, scared by the thought, “It's an innocent baby. We can't murder it.”

Angelo laughed, he was not in shock any more, but casual. He looked at her, “This isn't been baby yet, and even if it has, who cares.”

“I will not let you take my child's life.” she warned, pacing a step backward covering her belly by a protective hand. The pain was rushing through her voice.

He laughed again, “So why bothered telling me?” Her eyes widened, how cruel and hearth less he was. “I don't own it. So if you wanna raise it alone, you can happily get lost.” he went back to his chair and putted his legs back on the table. She stared at the ruthless monster for a while. Shiva and Carlos were watching this silently, but both were afraid to involve. Julie turned away and vanished. Shiva chased her with his eyes till the very end and then looked at his friend, who wasn't giving a shít about it. Didn't know what to do, he took a weed and burn it's edge.

Couple of days later, Shiva ran into Julie's house. Her parents happily welcomed him even though he was count as one of the bullies of the school. He went to her room and told her parents that they were going to study together.

“Have you told Your parents yet?” he asked, while sharing the bed with her.

She was sitting with legs crossed, hands carrying her head, eyes looking at the mattress. “Not yet.” she said, “Am I suppose to?” She looked up at him, “Your bastard friend ruined my whole life!” she barely controlling her tone. Though she didn't want her parents to hear.

Shiva looked way, could not match her bloodshot gaze. “It isn't the first time.” he said, “You remember Lily?”

She shook her head, “The girl that suicided few months ago?” suddenly her body shivered with a sudden electric, astonished, “How wicked you guys are!”

“I regret that.” he said, “Should have reached her out, she could have lived.”

“That's why you are here?” she asked
