Christine was walking home from her soccer practice when she passed a football stadium. Her backpack was on one shoulder and she was drinking from her water bottle when a familiar face walked up to her. She nearly choked on her water.

"Hey, how have you been?" The kid put his arm around her.

"I see you changed sports quickly." She took another sip from her water.

"Yeah, thanks to you."

"I didn't do anything. You groped me during a practice and then jumped me with a group of your friends after. So you getting kicked off of your soccer team was not my fault."

"You're a real smartass, you know that Christine?"

Christine slowed her pace.

"How do you know my name?"

"After we had our little encounter, I did some digging on you."

"What'd you find?" Christine tried to hide her fear.

"Oh, just the usual things like name, number, social medias, a video of you being raped, a-"

"What?" Christine stopped dead in her tracks and her face turned pale.

"Yeah, that looked pretty brutal. I honestly kind of feel bad for you. It would be a shame if it were leaked."

"Show me."

"Show you what?" The kid laughed.

"Show me the video."

"I can't do that Christine. See, I paid good money for that. It wouldn't be worth as much if I showed just anybody."

"You paid for that shit?" She screamed.

"Whoa, who knew you had such a bad mouth? I could shut you up real quick."

"Who do you think you are?" Her voice carried across the parking lot.

People started to stare. Soon, two kind faces showed up to help Christine. It was Derek, Raoul, and Derek's brother.
"What's going on? Is he bothering you?" Raoul asked.

Christine continued yelling and ignored him. "You stupid mother f-"

Derek covered her mouth as she cursed the kid out. He thought it was really amusing.

"You think this is funny?" Christine had gotten away from Derek.

"Will someone please tell us what the issue is?" Derek's brother asked.

"Why don't you tell them? Since you're so clever." Christine snapped.

"I was just messing around with her, calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down. Christine, what did he do?"

Christine's eyes were filled with tears.

"He said he has a video of James- and he-" Christine broke down in front of everyone there.

"Buquet? What kind of video?" Raoul bent down so he was at her level.

She looked him in the eyes and said nothing. Raoul quickly understood.

"Derek, I swear to god don't let me go to jail today." Raoul said.

"What the hell is she talking about?" Derek asked.

"Give me your phone, Adam." Raoul glared at the kid.

"Dude, no way. That's my business."

Raoul looked at him for a second and then punched him. He handed Christine the phone and got Derek to help him hold the kid back. Derek's brother stood between Adam and Christine. Christine went through his camera roll, his social media, everything. She couldn't find it. There was an app called 'Notes' but it was red. It was a locked notes app.
