When (Y/N) walked into Math class directly after AP Euro, her sights zeroed in on Jess as she moved to sit beside her.

Did Valen ask her?

I told him she already went back to class, so he then walked with me back...

That wasn't too good.

But... she doesn't seem mad at me anymore.

Before she could ask Jess what had been turning around in her mind, Amar slammed into the room just seconds after (Y/N) did with a panicked look in his eyes, that a quick signal to anyone that something was very wrong.

"Amar! What's wrong?" (Y/N) jumped out of her seat with Jess following suit.

"It's Kana—we need to go right now," he stated with a worried tone clipping his voice, worry flickering in his eyes. "Let's go. We need to hurry!"

"R-Right," Jess stuttered, informing Mr. Svelt of where they were heading, which was the nurses office, and soon left with her friends with Amar hurriedly leading the way.

"Do you know what happened to her?" (Y/N) asked Amar as they ran down the hall.

"No," he shook his head.

Her brows furrowed.

What the hell?

What is even happening!?

Creasing her eyes into that of a glare, it wasn't long before she reached the nurses office and stood just outside the door in horror at the sight in front of her: Kana, bruised and battered looking as if she had been beaten over and over again, the marks already swelling and turning an ugly shade of purple and black. What was worse was that she was also bleeding. Cuts lined her cheeks that seemed to be made from rings, her arms sporting some too that looked different and more nail-like.

"How could anyone do this?" Jess whispered as she knelt by Kana's bedside.

"This is horrible..." (Y/N) trailed off, her hand cupping Kana's forehead in concern with slight tears building in her eyes. "Kana? Are you okay? Can you wake up, please?"

At her urging, Kana's eyes fluttered open, however the left one only partially because of how swollen it was, saying, "Hey... guys. Am I late to Math?"

"Yeah," (Y/N) laughed in pain, Jess smiling too when seeing Kana's sense of humor still intact. "I think Mr. Svelt is gonna force you to make up the work all in one day."

"Ah... what an asshole."

"What happened to you?" Amar asked in concern as he stood beside her, his other hand on (Y/N)'s shoulder in a tight grip that let her know he was masking his feelings very well. "Who did this to you?For them to do something this fucked up..." It was as if a lightbulb switched on in his head, his hatred flaring even more as he continued, "It was Roselle... wasn't it?"

"Yeah... it was her," Kana sighed as she slowly sat up, grunting in pain as she did so and wincing from the strain pressed upon her body. "She's fucking obsessed with you." Her gaze then flicked to (Y/N), swallowing thickly as she continued, "And... the only reason she did this to me is because you weren't there, (Y/N). She blamed you for what happened between her and Amar, and since I'm your friend, well..."

(Y/N)'s eyes widened.

Amar's lips twitched, a dark look settling in his eyes as he squeezed (Y/N)'s shoulder tighter.

"Kana... I'm sorry this happened to you," Amar stated with a sharp edge to his voice, looking at the ground as he spoke. "I didn't mean for things to get this bad. I should have handled Roselle properly instead of pushing it off."

"Wait, Amar," Jess stood up, concern etched into her brows. "What are you going to do...?"

"I'm going to hurt her," he replied simply. "Just like she hurt me, like she hurt Kana, like she hurt (Y/N), and everyone else that had the displeasure of meeting her."

"Honestly... don't," Kana grabbed Amar's wrist with a rather disappointed expression painting her face. "Listen, Roselle's an asshat, but I don't want you doing something to her that she can use against you. We have to be smarter than that. And besides... did you really think I would let myself get beat up without making sure I'd have her get caught in the act?"

"Huh?" At that, everyone was surprised.

"Fuck, do you think I'm that pathetic?" She rolled her eyes with a scoff, however amusement twinkling within her grey eyes.

"So... you filmed her?" (Y/N) hypothesized.

"Yeah," Kana smiled, wincing, however with a look of confidence and victory. "I set up my phone so that it caught everything that bitch did to me."

"So that's why you weren't that worried..." Amar murmured, sheepishly rubbing the back of embarrassment due to the words he uttered. "Guess I overacted a little."

"A little?" Kana chuckled.

"Okay, a lot," he rolled his eyes. "But, come on. You're my friend. I mean, me, (Y/N), and Jess were about ready to beat the ass of whoever did this to you, and since it was Roselle, that made hypothetically beating her that much better. But, since you got evidence of the shit she did to you... looks like we don't have to do any of that. She won't be able to play the victim card so easily now"

"Nope," Jess grinned as she flicked a lock of her hair behind her ear, her eyes widening with excitement at the prospect of Roselle getting what was coming to her. "It'll be fun seeing her break down."

"I was about to say the same," (Y/N) smirked.

"Oh, you guys don't have to worry about not seeing any of that," Kana chuckled as she raised her phone triumphantly, her friends surrounding her with a weight seemingly lifting off of their shoulders. "We'll pay Roselle back in full once the time is right. And I'm thinking that's pretty darn soon."
