The school bully

I turned around to see Brad Chadley and his girlfriend Erica Jones approaching us. Brad was the captain of the basketball team and we used to be sort of friends when I still played. After I was dropped from the team though, I was apparently not worth is time. He was a tall and brawny and was largely stupid. The only good quality he had was that he was one hell of a captain and knew how to play his game. He was also a major asshole though and I avoided him whenever possible. The only reason why I didn’t do so now was his girlfriend.

Erica was easily the hottest girl in school. Standing tall at five foot ten, she seemed like a perfect match for Brad. Unlike Alicia who was dressed modestly, Erica’s clothes were flat out sexy. She wore a tight red dress that showed of her perfect curves. The dress was strapless and showed a hint of her cleavage. I was surprised that it could hold in her large breasts at all. She had her long blonde hair tied up in a braid that hung over her shoulder and she had her ear rings glistened in the light.

“Hey Brad. Good to see you. Join us,” I offered and gestured to the seats near us. Erica smiled at Alicia and sat down next to her and Brad plopped down next to me and threw a hand over my shoulder.

“Where the hell did you get alcohol,” I asked in surprise. He reeked of the smell and the party was only halfway over.

“A man has his ways,” he said with in a low whisper. “So you and Alicia, huh? Who would’ve thought?”

“Why is that so hard to believe,” I asked in mild annoyance.

“Well she’s hot and you’re... well you’re you,” he said. I was about to retort to the insult when Alicia interrupted.

“I’ll have you know I think John is very hot.” She had her hands folded and was glaring at Brad.

“Hotter than me?” Brad leered at her and even Erica sighed in annoyance.

“Way hotter than you.” I was surprised at her words and her anger. Did she feel this was because I suggested it to her two days ago or did she feel that way even before that? I didn’t care either way.

“Ouch,” Brad said in mock anger. His words came out in a blur because he was very drunk. “I have the hottest girl in school with me though. He can’t say the same.”

Alicia glanced at Erica and quickly turned to look at me, face red in anger and jealousy.

“Don’t listen to him Alicia. You have no reason to be jealous. You’re just as hot as Erica,” I said soothingly.

Not only Alicia, but Erica also gave me a huge smile at that. Did she like me complimenting her? I wasn’t directly flirting with her but for some reason the thought of doing it in front of Brad excited me.

“So, you looking forward to after man?”

“After what?” Brad looked at me like I was stupid.

“After the party,” he prompted. When I gave him a blank look, he brought his hands up and made a crude gesture to indicate sex. “You gonna bang your bitch?”

“Brad!” Alicia looked aghast and even Erica looked uncomfortable. I sighed in annoyance.

“What? She’s my bitch and I’m so gonna fuck her tonight,” a lecherous but stupid grin was plastered on his face as he reached towards Erica. She quickly pulled her hand back and tried not to glare at him.

“Go get a normal drink Brad. You’re drunk.”

Brad gave me a salute and staggered off to do what I told him. When he was gone I turned to Erica with a raised eyebrow.

“You okay with him talking like that?”

“Of course not. I hate it,” she said and pinched the bridge of her nose.

“So you two are really going to...”

Erica looked up at me with a glare. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

That wasn’t a surprising reaction. Although we had spoken a lot, she and I weren’t exactly friends. We barely knew about each other’s personal lives and she obviously wouldn’t be comfortable talking about her sex life with me.

“You can trust me completely, Erica. I’m your good friend after all.”

Erica immediately relaxed and placed her hands on the table. Her glare disappeared and was replaced with a frustrated look. I had gotten used to that in the last two days. People just readily accepted and believed whatever I told them. I could make them do anything and have them reveal their darkest secrets to me. From now on, Erica would really think of me as a good friend and trust me completely no matter what I did. This power was frightening to be honest but I was just happy that I was the one who had it.

“Of course I trust you but Alicia’s with us. No offence,” she said to Alicia.

Alicia shrugged. “None taken.”

“Oh you can trust her too. You two are good friends as well.”

The frustration completely left Erica’s face and she sighed. “If you must know, yes. Alex is planning to have sex with me tonight.”

I raised an eyebrow, knowing where this was going. “I’m guessing you aren’t too thrilled about it?”

Alex nodded with a scowl. “He’s been pressuring me for weeks. I managed to delay him and convinced him that I’ll let him have sex with me on prom night. I was planning on making up some excuse but he’s having none of it. He even booked a hotel for tonight.”

This was going very well; not for her but for me. I leaned forward on my seat in interest. “Why don’t you want to have sex with him? He’s your boyfriend isn’t he?”

“I’ve been looking for a good way to break up with him to be honest. I didn’t think I’d end up getting cornered.” Her voice was beginning to quaver and I knew something was wrong with her relationship.

“Why? Don’t you like him?”

Erica looked down and her arms started shaking. “I used to. I thought he was the perfect guy for me. As time went on, I started seeing him for what he really is, a big jerk. In the time we’ve been together all he’s done is try to get into my pants. He’s also starting to become abusive since I keep denying him.”

“Why don’t you just break off your relationship then?”

“He has some... compromising pictures of me. He forced me to pose for him early in our relationship.”
