Manhattan society was in uproar. Not only was the marriage between business man supreme Edward Valmont and queen socialite Tiffany Merteil divorcing, but the reasons rumored that caused the rift.

Tiffnay's daughter Kathryn supposedly ran away with Edward's son Sebastian! Tongues were wagging all over Manhattan. I mean really! They were brother and sister! People from good families didn't do things like that!
*********
"Holy shit!" Kathryn moaned out loud.

Sebastian grinned from on top of her. Things didn't get better then this. After leaving Manhattan Kathryn and Sebastian ran off to Italy for some sun, partying, and fucking.

He was worried at first that once they ran off things would get stale and boring. What a fool! Life with Kathryn would never get boring.Every day he was falling in love with her more and more. He never told her that of course. Kathryn was funny about any show of emotion so he kept it to himself. Sometimes when he was in a thoughtful mood he wondered to himself if she did love him. She did run off with him and left the high life for him, but you never knew with Kathryn. He didn't like thinking about it and figured Kathryn being with him everyday was proof enough of her feelings toward him.

"Ahem. Finish the job." Kathryn said imaptiently.

Sebastian chuckled to himself and moved his hand between her legs.

Lisa Stanford did not know what to do. It started off when her mother told her to start packing up her deadbeat brother's room.

"I don't think he's ever coming back." Lisa's mother said sadly.

Lisa wanted to kill her brother. Bad enough that he put the family through hell with his drug use, but he had to split without a word to his family?

While she was packing up his stuff in a box she stumbled onto a cassette tape. At first Lisa was about to throw it away when the label on the tape caught her eye.

Written in her brother's handwriting was "Valmont". Lisa knew of only one Valmont, and like everygirl in Manchester Prep she harbored a secret crush on Sebastian. Wondering if it is him Lisa ran out of her brother's room in search of a tape player.

Finally finding one Lisa went in her room to see what was on the tape. As soon as she played the tape a familliar voice filled the room.

"God Kathryn that's kinda harsh."

Kathryn? Lisa knew Kathryn unfortunately. Like every girl In Manchester Prep, Lisa worshipped Kathryn. She was everything pretty, smart, popular, and so she thought nice.

But that all changed one day when she began to tutor Court Renoylds. Lisa was secretly happy. Court Reynolds was a god in school and just maybe he would finally notice Lisa. They studied together every night after school and things were going along fine until one day Kathryn cornered her in the hallway.

"Hi Lisa." Kathryn smiled at her.
"Hi." Lisa was taken aback. Kathryn never talked to her ever.

"I hear you're helping Court with his classes."

Lisa started to get nervous. Sure it wasn't nice of her to fantasize about stealing Kathryn's boyfriend, but It's not like Kathryn could get another guy in a heartbeat.

"I guess so." Lisa stammered.

"Good." Kathryn smiled coldly "Let me give you a word of advice and watch your back."

Lisa almost didn't believe what she heard at first. Kathryn quickly walked away. Lisa didn't know what to do. She didn't think Kathryn could be so nasty.

She continued to tutor Court and act like that incident never happend. That all changed one day when she came to school one morning. Walking to her locker she was a few students give her a funny look. Lisa didn't pay attention. Being a scholarship student she was used to her classmated treating her diffrently. But when she walked towards her locker her worst nightmare happend.

Right by her locker stood Amber Dennison, a member of the elite group in Manchester Prep surronded by a crowd of students.



"Oh Court why can't you notice me. If only you would see I was the girl for you." Amber read off a peice of paper in a high pitched girly voice.

To Lisa's horror she recogninzed those words. They were the words from her diary. Horro stricken Lisa ran down the hallway. Blinded by tears she ran into someone and her books went flying. Crawling around the floor trying to collect her stuff. The person she bumped into squatted next to her. Lisa look up and to her horror saw Kathryn.

"Told you to watch your back." Kathryn said coldly and got up and walked away.

After that incident Lisa kept to herself and waited for graduation. She knew Kathryn was behind it, but she had no proof and besides who would believe her anyway? Forcing the bad memories away she listened to that tape.

"Well what did you want me to do?" Kathryn's voice asked from the tape player.

"She was a nobody Kathryn. Hardly a threat." Sebastian said.

" Always be on the offensive is my motto. Besides who did I hurt? A mousey drudge who actually thought she could try and steal my guy from me."

"But to steal her diary and spread it around school?"

Lisa could not believe her ears! Listening further to her suprise she heard Kathryn list her sins. Lisa could not even fathom why her brother had this tape, but she didn't care. In her hands was her revenge. The tool that finally could destroy Kathryn.
