Chapter 1
At school
Cato: Hey, gorgeous.
Glimmer: What do you want, Larek?
Cato: To fuck you senseless.
Glimmer: Like that's ever going to happen! (She storms off toward her class.)
?: What's got you so riled up?
Glimmer: It's Cato. He's been after me for weeks. You wouldn't believe how persistent he is!
?: I've never had anyone pad after me before. You're lucky.
Glimmer: Lucky? You're lucky you don't have to put up with that asshole. He's always trying to run his boots up and down my thighs in class. He tries to put his hand in my back pocket when we leave class. I hate it!
?: You're right. (She agrees.) That is creepy. What's your name anyway? I'm Music Pride.
Glimmer: I'm Glimmer Carner.
Music: Nice to meet you, Glimmer.
Glimmer: You, too. Come on. You can sit next to me in class. (She walks in and sits down.)
Cato: (He sits behind Glimmer.)
(Class begins.)
Cato: (He sneaks his foot under Glimmer's desk and starts rubbing up and down her leg.)
Glimmer: (She tries to ignore it.)
Music: (She growls under her breath. 'What an annoying furball,' she thought. She raises her hand.) Excuse me. May I use the restroom?
Teacher: Of course. Take the pass.
Music: (She gets up and passes by Cato's desk.) Leave her alone or I'll slit your neck. (She kicks him and leaves.)
Teacher: (He notices Glimmer's uncomfortable look and sees Cato's strange expression.) Cato, Glimmer, is there something you'd like to share with the class?
Cato: Share? I'm not used to having an audience when I fuck someone, but why not? We won't say no to an audience, will we, Glim?
(The class goes silent.)
Glimmer: (She gets up and smacks Cato.) What the fuck? I don't even like you! How dare you suggest…!
Teacher: That's enough! Miss Carner and Mr. Larek, go to the principal's office!
Glimmer: But it's his fault…!
Teacher: Regardless, you do not slap someone. Go to the office, the both of you.
(They both leave.)
