Dirty Girl

Chapter 6

Plern danced and flirted at the night club after leaving that disastrous dinner. She really didn't care that it was her fault it was a disaster. In her mind, the one at fault was Korn. In her mind, Korn was the reason nothing was right lately. If only he would just do as he was supposed to!

Dancing and flirting made her think better. Alcohol didn't, so she turned every drink down and just danced by herself tonight. Tonight was not about conquest but about scheming to make Korn pay. No longer did she want to marry Korn, now, she wanted to completely destroy Korn the way he had destroyed her.

Rumors were a good way to start, she decided. He wasn't out of the closet. Leaving the dance floor, she sent Prae a text, "Did you get anything good?"

Prae sent back, "A few pictures of them kissing, but other than that, nothing. Sorry, everyone knows they're a couple. You can't do anything."

"Just send me the pictures. I decide what I can or cannot do." Within seconds, Plern was studying the pictures. Smiling to herself, she sighed. Perfect. I can use these. Combined with what I found out from Korn's dad about Knock's parents, I can definitely start some nasty rumors.

Whistling to herself, she stopped at the bar for her one and only drink of the night and went home.

Plern was in for a nasty surprise when she arrived. For once, her parents had stayed up to greet her. Nastily, Plern said, "Why are you up?" Trying to walk by them, her father blocked her path with a huge suitcase.

Dropping at her feet, he pointed at the door. "Your mother and I have decided we've had enough, Plern. You're no longer our daughter."

"Leave now, Plern." Her mother took over. "I no longer have a best friend. You cost me a friendship that lasted over 30 years. You're pure evil, Plern. We don't know what we did wrong, but we can't handle it anymore."

Her father once more took over, "You have refused our support for years, preferring to scam men. I'm tired of cleaning up your messes. Time for you to leave, so just get out and don't come back - ever."

Her mother placed one hand on her lower back and guided the stunned Plern out before she had a chance to form a rebuttal while her father took the suitcase and placed it outside the door. Firmly they closed the door and Plern heard the lock click.

Shocked, she stood there for a moment and then tried the door. No, it was indeed locked. She entered the entry code and they had changed it. She was completely locked out.

Her parents had made her an outcast! Damn it! Where was she to go now? It was 2 a.m. in a god damn small town, even the cabs stopped running out here at 1:30 a.m. Sighing, she sat on her suitcase and for the first time in years, felt like breaking into real tears and not the fake ones that get her things.

What did she do that was so wrong? Plern wondered. To hell with it, if you wanted to get ahead, sacrifices had to be made. If losing her family was one of them, then so be it.

Plern stood and tried to lift the suitcase. She couldn't. Sighing, she opened it and found every expensive gift she'd ever bought for her parents. There was not one piece of clothing in there, or any of her expensive makeup that she needed. God damn them! This was all useless in starting over!

Leaving the heavy suitcase open on the porch, she walked away from her childhood home, cursing her parents poor judgement. It was a fairly long walk to the train station in heels. She had just under 3 hours to kill before the first train outta this hick town and she'd never be back!

Fai called Yihwa and showed her the new website. It was devoted to the new campus couple KornKnock and had pictures of them plastered all over. It was odd that some of the pictures obviously came from inside the condo building. Was it the little stalker posting to this new website?

Yihwa snarled, "I'm going to find out more. I don't like sneaks. Korn didn't even have a chance to come out safely, never mind Knock and he's on the football team." She paced, her pretty face twisted with rage. "Fai, can you trace the IP address and see where it's being uploaded from?"

"Already started, beautiful." Fai replied. Not only was she tracing the IP address, but the pictures themselves carried information that wasn't easily erased unless someone was aware. And the person uploading them wasn't. The location and date information was attached to them, so was the camera information.

"Yihwa, can you get Farm and Phubet to help us report the site as malicious to the University? Maybe we can get it taken down as a whole. Some of these commenters are very nasty." Fai sighed. Homophobes were everywhere.

"Of course." Yihwa was busy sending out texts. "I'm also trying to keep Korn and Knock from finding out too soon."

"I think it may be too late for that..." Fai handed her phone over to Yihwa. Knock had commented under one kissing picture, "Love this one, thanks, I'm saving it!"

Yihwa sighed and shook her head. "I'm pretty sure Korn isn't going to like the attention!" Her phone started to beep from incoming texts. Farm and Phubet both agreed to help, although Phubet wanted to know what the hell was going on, not being part of the first meeting.

Yihwa sighed. Farm was still seeing that little spy, Prae. "Fai, do you think we can make use of Farm dating Prae to our advantage?"

Fai looked at Yihwa, "What do you have in mind? I know computers and code. I leave people up to you."

Yihwa gave a shit-kicker grin, her bright red lipstick glowing, "I propose to fight dirty to prove dirty. I haven't use those skills in a long time, but I haven't forgotten them. It would be okay to use them to trap Plern, wouldn't it?"

Fai slowly smiled, "You're truly a dangerous beauty, aren't you, Yihwa?"

Yihwa draped an arm around Fai, "Of course, darling, of course!"
