Bad Boyfriend

END (finale pt.1)

Chompoo is stomping off to god-knows-where. She feels so out of place and as though justice hasn't been served.

She's not content that Rain and Phayu broke up; she wants to see him shunned by society and stripped of everything that matters to him—just like herself.

But while she fantasizes about it, her skirt gets caught up in something and she stops to check. It's a wire sticking out from the fence and she impatiently tries to tug at it to no avail.

Seriously???

She starts tugging more aggressively until the hem of her skirt gets ripped and she topples backwards, falling flat on her behind.

"Aaaaaaghh!" She shrieks, kicking and screaming.

This isn't how things are supposed to be. It's Rain that's supposed to end up alone and pathetic, not her!

"Aaaaaaaghhhh!"

"Jesus Christ!" Someone groans loudly over Chompoo's primal screams and when she whips her head, she sees Stop sticking a finger into his ear with a wince on his face. "What the hell happened to you?"

"I fell!" She states the obvious. "Can't you see?!"

Stop snickers. "I meant what happened to you? You used to be so popular and hot and now..." He gives her a once over, twisting his lips in distaste. "You're a mess."

Chompoo glares at him but he doesn't mind her and continues, "On the contrary, Rain used to be a sloppy looking kid. But lately, he's been looking quite pretty."

"Fuck you!" Chompoo hisses to which Stop just smirks and is about to leave her—on the ground—without so much as offering to help. But then, Chompoo suddenly thinks of something—something very dark.

"Hey!" She calls to him. "Are you...interested in Rain?"

~~~

Rain's been staring at the message he received just minutes prior.

Can you meet me at the back of the school later?

Finally! Phayu wants to see him. 

It's only been a few days since they last talked but if he's being honest, he's been missing him desperately and he couldn't have gotten here faster.

He paces nervously as he waits for Phayu to arrive and when he hears rustling behind him, he whips around excitedly. But that excitement wanes when he sees who's behind him.

"P'Stop?"

"Hi, there." He greets obnoxiously. "What's a cutie like you doing all by yourself here?"

Rain unconsciously takes a step back and says, "I-I'm waiting for someone."

"Phayu?" Stop asks, his brows slightly knitting together. "Aren't you two broken up?"

Rain mutters his reply, "It's none of your business."

"Ooh, feisty." Stop remarks, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "If I were you, I'd quit waiting around on Phayu. What do you say, let's hang out? I know a place." He wraps a hand around Rain's wrist which the boy rips away. "No, thanks."

Stop laughs but at the same time, he looks like he's starting to get annoyed.

"Need help, boss." Someone says and Rain realizes Stop is not alone. He brought his friends with him and Rain finds it repulsive that they're like a copycat of Phayu's crew, even calling Stop 'boss' like Phayu's friends do.

"I got this." Stop says with a finger raised. He straightens his stupid leather jacket (in this humid weather) then steps closer to Rain and whispers, "C'mon, I can do it better than Phayu."
