Alicia, your worst nightmare, and a right hook.

You pull the door open and see a very furious Alicia standing there, glaring at you. She is wearing a conservative purple turtleneck and her hair is soaking wet, like she just got out of the shower. You and Alicia have never seen eye to eye on anything. Alicia's known for being a radical feminist and although you are good friends with many of the other campus feminists, Alicia's uncontrollable ire have been targeted on you since you and Melody moved into the dorm hall together. She sees your living arrangements with Melody as a way to simply get into her pants. Alicia refuses to see the two of you as friends and often tries to convince Melody of your 'true nature'. Saying she simply hates you is an understatement.

"What the fuck do you-" You start to say, but don't get very far when she rears back and punches you square in the mouth. Fireworks of pain explode behind your eyes and you stumble back before hitting your chair and falling backwards over it onto the floor.

"Jack!" Melody screeches as you slam your head against the floor. Air rushes from your lungs like a deflating balloon and you groan in pain. Your jaw is throbbing like mad. For a rather diminutive girl, she has one mean right hook. You can taste what is either blood or pennies in your mouth.

"Just friends, my ass!" Alicia yells at your downed body. She runs over and kicks you while you're lying on the ground. You cough lously as her boot connects with your gut.

"ALICIA!" Melody yells before grabbing the other girl and pulling her away. She swings around and pushes Alicia onto her bed. The other girl lands on the mattress roughly. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"Melody!" Alicia's face and tone go from murderous to sympathetic almost instantly. "How are you feeling? Are you all right?"

"Am I all right?" Melody asks, staring at Alicia as if she had just grown a third boob. "You just sucker-punched my best friend! Give me one reason I shouldn't charge you with ****!"

"Best friend?" Alicia's face turned dark again. "That piece of shit **** over there?"

"WHAT?" You ask loudly from the floor.

"WHAT?" Melody echoed, taken aback.

"I know what you did, you scumbag! You got her drunk and **** her in some dirty back alley!" Alicia narrowed her eyes. "You took advantage of her like the lowly little fuck you are!"

"N-no!" Melody protested, still in shock. "How did...how did you..."

"I've seen the pictures." She continued to glare at you. "Didn't think someone would produce some hard evidence, huh?"

"Pictures...?" Melody asked weakly. Alicia nods and puts her hand on the girl's arm. Your friend quickly shrugs it off. "No! You...you have it all wrong, Alicia. Jack didn't **** me...really. That's not how it happened..."

"It's okay, Melody." Alicia said. "You don't need to protect him. I've already alerted the cops."

"YOU WHAT?!" You and Melody exclaim together.

"They'll be here soon, you scumbag." Alicia said, then turned to Melody. "We'll get through this together, I promise."
