Taking advantage of a break between our lessons, several students of my class stayed in it and began to talk to each other or others. Carrying a comb from the inside pocket of his jacket, a boy combed his crisp hairstyle as he looked at himself in a mirror he had hidden in his pencil case.
"Superb!" He assured, staring for many seconds. "My dear Aron, your physique is im - pec - cable."
"There is no need to say! You are very weird, Aron." Asserted a girl, seeing him do it. "You spend a lot more time admiring yourself in a mirror than a girl would."
"Hmm?" The boy said simply, smiling at her. "But it's because I have to be perfect! Many people rely on me to be beautiful! The beauty of a magnificent face makes all the difference."
Suddenly getting up, he finally left his seat, while asserting.
"The proof! As soon as the lessons are over, I should hurry, because I have a very important meeting… with a girl."
"Again?" A boy asked, hearing him.
"Fucking lucky."
"That's what being a beautiful man." Aron said simply, running a hand over his hair vainly.
Just staring at him, I couldn't help but glare at him, as a memory of the two of us came back to me.
***
I could see myself leaving high school, almost limping, after someone had fun hitting me in the shin. All I had wanted at the time was to just go home. I wanted to lock myself in my room, curl up in a ball on my bed and hide under my quilt, hoping that I could forget how much of a nightmare my life had become.
However, having left at the same time as me, Aron could not help but see me in bad shape and was immediately eager to know how I was. First of all, I just wanted to push him away. However, he had been so compassionate to me that I ended up stopping.
First, words came out of my mouth. Then there were tears. And finally real sobs when Aron had hugged me, with a gesture of comfort, while trying to calm me down while saying sweet words to me.
At that time, I really felt like I was stupid. Because, when Aron asked me if I wanted to come to his house so that we could talk, I immediately answered '' yes ''.
Big mistake on my part. As soon as we were with the boy, he took me to his room, before locking the door.
I didn't even have time to say a word that he then threw himself at me to make me fall on his bed. What followed then was nothing but rape on the boy's part, followed by a compromising photoshoot to make sure I shut up.
***
Thinking about it all, my teeth were so clenched I thought I was going to hear them snap. Aron was just a bastard who liked to pull girls towards him before fucking them and then throwing them away like simple dolls. I wasn't the first to be fooled by his words, and surely not the last. But for all of us, it was impossible to talk about it under penalty of having our photos distributed everywhere. Yet it was finally a smile that crept across my face, at the mere thought of what was going to happen before the end of the day.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
" Aron ! " Cried a girl, gesturing to him.
Arriving up to her, while the young girl was waiting for him, in front of a cinema, the boy gave her his most charming smile, while asking her.
'' How are you, Maya? So have you decided which movie we're going to see? "
" Yes ! " The girl assured, while entering the cinema. " I wanted to see '' Love night '' too much. "
Following her, Aron couldn't help dragging his feet a bit, as he struggled to keep his flirtatious smile.
"Great, another stupid love film! Don't girls have other preferences, damn it? Anyway, as soon as the film is over, I'll have it in my pocket! So what … "
Smiling while thinking of the end of the afternoon he might have, the boy by no means saw the person spinning behind him just behind him.
Small in stature, and knowing how to be discreet, a young girl was following him, just as I had asked her to do earlier in class.
***
" What ... What do you expect from me? " Wanted to know a girl in my class, named Sophia.
Fixing the little binocular in front of me, I explained to her.
" I want you to help me ... during my revenge! You see I want to make all my torturers pay for my misfortunes and I would need help for some cases. "
" But why me ? "
" I have often observed you. " I affirmed. " Just like me, you are alone and often put aside ! I'm in a bad position to say it, but a girl like you can very easily become the new toy of the class if I ever had to go. "
Hearing this frightened the young girl.
" No I … ! I don't care having friends! I just want to be all alone and have peace. "
" It will be hard if girls like Tatiana start to take an interest in you. " I retorted. " But, we can avoid all of that. "
" How? "
" We must fight, Sophia. " I told her, while fixing her in the eyes with a flirtatious look. " You and I have always been rejected by the class, and for my part, I've had enough ! Sophia, what I propose to you is to help me fight against this society which forces some of us to bow to the desires of others. "
Tempting her a hand, I asked her.
" Do you want to help me? "
" Huh ... I ... " The young girl hesitated, while staring at the hand I held out to her.
***
" They are in room 4. " Sophia told me, sitting down next to me, in a different movie theater from where Aron and Maya were.
Smiling at this information, I hastened to continue my letter, while writing down what I had just learned.
" Perfect ! " I assured. " Definitely, I did well to trust you, Sophia. "
'' But ... But how will that help you get revenge? " Sophia asked me. " Until proven otherwise, Aron didn't do anything wrong with this girl. "
" Don't you recognize her ? " I asked her. " I'm talking about the girl he's with. "
" Huh ... "Sophia said, starting to think. " She is not part of our class but I seem to have seen her ... "
" It's Samuel's girlfriend. " I taught her.
" Sa ... Samuel ? The one in our class? But if he ever knows, Aron will…
Seeing me smile then Sophia understood that I was hoping for this kind of situation.
" What better for a flirty taking advantage of girls than to meet the dear and tender beloved of the latter? "
Now understanding my plan, Sophia wanted to know.
'' But how are you going to go about bringing Samuel here? "
" He is already on the way. "I assured her. " In fact, I've been spying on Maya for a few days and I've seen her unlock her cell phone several times! At one point, I stole it from her and sent a message to Samuel inviting him to come here! Once I was done, I returned the laptop to Maya, without her realizing its disapearrance. "
"But even if he comes to the cinema, how are you going to attract him to room 4? "
Finally taking an envelope out of my bag, I folded my letter before slipping it inside. Then I placed a piece of tape in it.
" Nothing's easier. " I said, before handing everything to Sophia. " Since Maya came by bike, I want you to put this there. "
Finally understanding what I was planning to do, Sophia began to swallow a little before noticing.
'' But ... But it could be dangerous, right? "
" Dangerous for Aron, yes! For us, no. " I retorted. " Don't worry, you have no reason to signpost! I already told you, didn't I? "
Approaching her before placing my hands on her shoulders, I smile at her before telling her.
" I'm on your side! We must stick together! Do you really want to wait for Aron or one of that garbage to come after you beating or raping you? "
Lowering her gaze, Sophia finally nodded, before simply taking the envelope. Noting that she was going to comply, I assured her.
" You can go away right after! And thank you again for your help. "
Nodding, Sophia finally left the room. Then, going outside, she walked over to a line of bikes and found the one Maya had come with. Immediately, she taped the end of the envelope to the handlebars, before hurrying away from the latter.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few minutes later, the sound of a scooter was heard. Parking in front of the cinema, Samuel quickly took off his helmet, before looking around, looking for Maya.
" Where is she ? " He wanted to know, trying to see her. " She had given me an appointment here. "
Getting ready to enter the cinema, the boy ends up making out Maya's bike, and more particularly the letter hanging from it.
" Hum? " He said, approaching it.
Examining it, he was somewhat surprised to see his first name written on it.
" Is this addressed to me? " He wondered, taking it, before tearing it up.
Reading the letter in this way, he could read in it '' Samuel, I have already chosen the film I want to see! Join me in room 4 ''.
" Hum? " He said again, narrowing his eyes.
"Why did she write this to me instead of emailing me?"
Having a bad feeling, the boy nevertheless headed for the cinema.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Being myself out of my own room, I took refuge in the toilet, while leaving the door ajar, allowing me to have a magnificent view of the door of room 4. Now I was just waiting for one thing : the shattering entry of Samuel.
However, I almost had a real heart attack when the bathroom door opened and someone rushed into it.
" That … ? "
" It's me. " Sophia told me, closing the door behind her.
" You ? You weren't gone?
" I… I just wanted to see how this ends. " Affirmed the young girl. " If so, this isn't even going to turn out the way you predicted and you'll need my help. "
"Tsss! As if you could use me for something else. " I wanted to retort.
However, just shrugging my shoulders, I said.
" Do as you like ! "
It was then that a figure caught my eye. Smiling, I noticed.
" Ah! It's going to start. "
" What ? " Sophia asked me, hastening to look through the half-open door.
" The real show. " I told her, while seeing Samuel enter room 4.
The boy had a big body made all in muscles. In our high school, few people were as feared as he was. Being part of Bryan's gang, he was responsible for some of my torment. Nevertheless, he was the least interested of the three in enjoying hitting me. The worst was Lucas, he was a real bastard.
However, compared to him, Samuel could be scary just with his presence. And I wasn't even talking about how he could be, once he got angry. Anyway, Aron would find out soon.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
" This film is really too good. " Maya said, clinging to Aron.
" Indeed ! " The boy said, pretending to be moved by the love story he was telling.
However, more annoyed than anything else, he was only praying the instant " The end " would finally appear, meaning he could finally leave here. And then the real date was about to begin for him. In fact, he might even be able to take advantage of it right away. Considering the time of day and the day of the week, there was hardly anyone in the room. Why then would he deprive himself of getting close to Maya physically and ending up kissing her?
Nonetheless, his gaze suddenly froze. Sitting in the back row, and bored to death, his attention was easily captured by the opening of the front door. Turning his head toward it, he felt his heart skip a false beat, as he recognized Samuel's tall figure.
'' But that … ?
Finding himself in front of an almost deserted room, Samuel had no trouble seeing, too, the boy and more especially the girl who was glued to him.
" Samuel? "Maya wondered, straightening up.
At first motionless, the boy seemed to be trying to understand the situation. Only his eyes betrayed his surprise. Then, finally, a vein began to tremble in his forehead as he took a step forward.
" Sa… Samuel! " Aron could only say, seeing the high school student entering their row of seats. " I… I… can explain everything to you! Maya needed to talk to someone and I… well you understand the situation, isn't it ? "
Stopping right next to him, Samuel repeated.
'' She needed ... to talk? "
In an instant, he grabbed Aron's collar, and managed to lift Aron out of his seat, before throwing him behind him. Landing hard on the ground, the boy could only moan in pain, while Samuel only roared.
" You wanted to comfort her in front of a movie? Are you kidding me ? "
" P ... Please! Calm yourself ! "
" Let's go outside! " The boy ordered him, stretching his arm to his face.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Swallowing for at least the fifth time, Sophia couldn't help but shake a little at the scene in front of her. She was so scared that she tried to look at her, while hiding as much as possible behind a car.
For my part, I made almost no effort to conceal myself. Truth be told, I was so ecstatic that I didn't want to miss any crumb of what was happening before my eyes.
Screaming again in pain, Aron fell heavily to the ground, behind the cinema, where no one could stop Samuel from beating him up. It was at least the eighth punch he'd taken and his face was unrecognizable.
Often, on TV, you could see all kinds of ads with the slogan "Before / After", where you saw an ugly object or person, become much more attractive. Now, in the space of a few minutes, it had been the opposite for Aron.
Instead of her beautiful face, of which he had always been proud, there was only a black eye; a jaw comprising three loose teeth; two swollen cheeks; a broken nose and the skin of his face spotted here and there with blood.
"Stob! Blease!" Aron pleaded, trying to shield his face with his arms.
"I haven't finished with you." Samuel retorted, pretending to take another step towards him.
Still, suddenly girding up, he looked down to see Maya, begging him.
"Samuel! Stop it! I'm sorry but with Aron, it's serious between us."
"Serious?" Samuel repeated, pausing.
Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, he burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! This is the best of the year."
Then, pretending to take a sheepish air, he stared at Aron, while asserting.
"Oh darn! Could it be that you haven't told him your little secret? Or even the first names of the girls with whom you are in a relationship?"
"The what?" Maya wondered.
"This guy is just a polygamist who flirt with any girl he meets." Samuel told her, glaring at Aron. "You are not the first to be fooled by his fine words! And there are even rumors about him about what he did to girls, after a simple date! Put the girls in his pocket, that's his motto."
Eyes widening, Maya smirked stupidly before looking at Aron.
"It's… It's a joke, isn't it?"
"Maya, I…" The boy started, before simply lowering his gaze.
" All these compliments ... the fact that you told me to love me for a long time ... " Enumerated the young girl starting to feel tears appear in her eyes. " Was it just for a chance to fuck me? "
" SoBBy ! " The boy apologized.
At that moment, in the grip of rage, Maya kicked him in the ribs, which surprised even Samuel.
"Oh, I love this girl. " I thought, taking pleasure in seeing Aron sprawl again on the floor.
" Asshole ! " Maya roared. " Don't even dare to come back and talk to me! You disgust me . "
Then, feeling the sobs coming for good, she finally ran away. Seeing her do it, Samuel had a small smile on his face, while asserting.
" At the end of the day, it's not that bad! Thanks to this story, I may have earned some points with Maya. "
Bending down in front of Aron, he took him by the hair, in order to raise his face to his level, before smiling at him.
" Come on, I'm nice, I'll stop there! However, if you ever don't care about our little chat, you're a dead man. "
With that, he let Aron's head drop to the ground, before simply walking away. For his part, eventually getting up with a moan, Aron turned towards the window of a car and managed to see his face there ... or at least, the atrocity that was now in place of his beautiful face.
Seeing that he now looked more like Quasimodo than Prince Charming, the boy couldn't help but cry out before finally crying in tears.
" No ! NO ! NOOOOOONNNNNN! "
Truth be told, he was so upset by what was going on that he didn't even see me taking a picture of him. I wanted to take a picture of him at all costs. Keep her face in mind. And immortalize his humiliation forever.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
After connecting my laptop to my computer, I then only had to use the printer to see beautiful, color images come out. Seeing them arrive one by one, I was able to see the magnificent boxing match between Samuel and Aron again. I had taken practically enough photos to make a film of it.
" Perfect ! " I said, taking two.
The first was nothing but a beautiful shot of Samuel's fist hitting Aron's face. As for the second, it was the one where we saw the latter screaming as he gazed at himself in front of a car window.
" They are perfect. " I sneered, finally grabbing an envelope.
Slipping the first photo, I began to whistle, while marking a little note on the back of the latter, addressed to the principal of my school. Now everyone was going to know what Samuel had done earlier. And, I was sure that was going to result in his suspension for at least a good week.
But this was far from being his punishment. No, it was just a way to get him out of high school for a little while. Despite being more of a bully than a nerd, I was afraid he might get in my way, due to a hint of insight. So I intended to deal with him later.
And as for the second photo… Staring at it, I collapsed onto my bed, before finally bursting into laughter.
" Hahaha! The face of Aron! It was so overwhelming! Hihihi! "
Laughing out loud, I ended up putting a finger under my eye to wipe away a tear. It had been a long time since I had laughed like this.
" There is no need to say! Revenge yourself… it's great. "
Straightening up then, I walked over to my office, where there were a number of envelopes. Each one, bearing a name on the back, contained all the information I had been able to gather on the students in my class as well as the sentence I had reserved for them.
Taking the one with '' Aron '' written on it, I end up tearing it up before letting the pieces of paper fall into a wastebasket.
" But I haven't finished! Yes, I want more! Even more ! I will take revenge on each of them. "
