Due to the previous events Page's phone screen got broken so, she was at the ATM getting money out since hers got stolen. She grabbed the money and turned around but stopped when a guy walked up to her "how much did they take". She recognized the guy he was the one that got jumped. His face wasn't as bloody as it was the last time she saw him but he had bruises here and there. "Answer me," he said" fifty yuan" page whispered. he took some money out of his pocket and offered it to her " I don't have any cash" She said.

---Phone shop

"give me your phone," he said. page was confused " I thought we were here for change," she said looking at him. he looked at her "you have to buy something first" she sighed and gave the guy across the counter her broken phone. he inspected the phone before looking back up "this will cost 200 yuan" page watched as the guy's eyes slightly widened "what 200" he blurted "I'm not scamming you it needs major repairs" the phone guy crossed his arms "how about 50 yuan" the phone guy rolled his eyes "your so cheap if you don't wanna pay the cost then do it yourself" he replied going across the store.

The guy took page's phone and went behind the counter himself. page watched as he took the screen off "you can fix phones" she asked "I deal in stolen phone parts" he said bluntly. he glanced up at her but quickly looked away " you had your phone repaired before" he asked as the two made eye contact. page didn't say anything but nodded he looked back down " most of the original parts were replaced and guessing you didn't watch the repair meaning they may have stolen your data" he explained " I don't have any important data" page said starting to pick at her nails she noticed it was starting to become a habit.

the guy looked at her and smirked "fool" he remarked" you're a perfect target" he tilted his head and smiled "but if you pay me I can protect you" he told her in a calming voice. page looked up at him and crossed her arm "how can you protect me" she asked referring to him getting jumped. he frowned and looked back down continuing on the phone " getting beat up is nothing" he spat " I always get even in the end" he said. there was silence "keep fighting then. I'm going to the best college anyway unlike you" she confessed he stopped for a sec before finishing up "So. how are we different though".

"Don't you see? either you bully others or get bullied" he explained. there was another silence page looked down at her shoes " so which are you".

_____side walk

page quietly walked behind the guy as she looked down at her phone which was newly repaired. he stopped in his tracks " is your house left or right" she looked up at him "you don't have to escort me" she said walking past him. not even 3 seconds later he walked in front of her and started walking backward to face her. He smirked "what's your name," he asked page stayed quiet "you can't even tell me after we kissed" he bragged before turning back around.

all of a sudden he started walking faster page's eyes widened as two cops pulled up and stepped out of their car "Hey stop" one yelled. they started asking him questions as page walked by keeping her head down "how did you get beat up" one barked "is it a crime" he muttered "just show me your ID" they asked.

____Alleyway

Page was kinda relieved that she was almost home. she turned the corner but was hit with a sudden feeling of sadness and anger. she began tearing the posters of her mom that were everywhere and by her reaction, you could tell it wasn't the first time. The posters had highlighted In bold 'DONT TRUST THIS CROOK' or 'LIAR EXPOSED'. her lips shivered as she snatched the paper out of the guy's hand. All he could do was look at her in pity.

The last part is a bit rushed but ehh.
