Yes

Nikki stopped teasing me. She thrust me forward to the ground. I hit the ground with a thud. It dawned on me that Nikki had used her dirty tactics to thwart me again. Laura had never thought anything like this could happen.

“This is payback!”

Nikki ripped my tank top out from the back of my shorts. I was defenceless and had no answer to her ripping the tank top up my back. She got it to the back of my head when I finally snapped out of my trance.

By then it was too late. She used her strength to force me to relinquish my tank top. I screamed as it came flying off my arms and I was left in my bright RED bra.

I dragged myself to my feet on unsteady legs. My hands clamped across my chest, I couldn’t believe it. Here I was with my underwear on show again.

“Nice undies,” said Nikki. “I love red.”

I looked up at her, my teeth clenched. My worst fears were being realised again. And Nikki was already advancing towards me.

She only had eyes for my black jean shorts. The shorts that were now unbuttoned and unzipped. They were vulnerable. I was vulnerable.

I had to do something to end this and end this now.
