Her friend Michael

“Hello, Ali speaking,” she said, answering her phone.

Mark tried not to be too rude and listen in. At least he pretended that he wasn’t taking any notice of her private phone call.

She looked confused by whoever was on the other side of the phone, “Michael, how did you get this number?” she said.

Mark suddenly looked a little worried, he knew their were multiple Michael’s on campus but he began to worry about if it was a certain one.

He had recently clashed with Michael from Harold Hall when he stole back Tayla’s lingerie from Michael’s roommate Brett. Mark ended up knocking him over as he sprinted away. He hadn’t seen him since then but he sure didn’t want to know what would happen if he ran into him or Brett.

“You know I’m at the beach?,” Ali said, she was clearly getting annoyed, “This is just weird Michael, don’t come and find me.”

Ali then hung up the phone, “Ugh, I may need to leave, there’s this douchebag that’s been virtually stalking me lately. He’s at the beach right now looking for me,” she explained, starting to pack up some of her stuff.

“This isn’t Michael, the guy from Harold Hall is it?”

Ali nodded.

“Michael, Harold Hall, he’s roommate is Brett?” he asked her again.

Ali nodded again, “That’s the one, why? Do you know him too?”

Mark started to tremble. This was a disaster, if this guy who already hated him saw him hanging out with the girl he liked, he would be fucked.

“Yeah I know him, too well unfortunately, we had a bit of an incident,” he said.

Ali threw a white crop top on over her bikini top while she searched for her short shorts in her bag, “We really need to get out of here then, he’s going to be pissed at you if he sees you here with me.”

Mark began to pack up his stuff too. He hesitated before they were both about to leave and go their seperate ways.

“Are you sure we should run away Ali?” he said as she was doing up the button on her short shorts.

She looked at him with curiosity, “What do you mean, what else would you suggest?” she asked.

Mark thought about it. They could bolt away but it wouldn’t solve either of their issues with Michael. Or they could maybe stay and confront him. The main worry of that was their safety.

Michael could easily hurt Mark considering that his self defence skills were very limited.
