Chapter 3: Confrontation and Defeat

(Two Days Later late evening)

Alden exited school and bumped into someone.

"Ouch!" Alden cried and fell to the floor, "watch where…." He started to say but then saw who it was, "YOU!"

"What?" Nina demanded as she stood to her feet, "I only came here at this time to see the principal for a private session," she stated.

"You told that lie on Connor," Alden snarled.

"What lie?" Nina asked squeakily looking around to ensure that no one else was around.

"The one that sent him to JAIL Nina!" Alden exploded, "of all the low down dirty things you've done!" he shouted, "how could you do SOMETHING like that!" he shrieked.

"He RAPED me!" Nina cried.

"Connor wouldn't want to touch much less rape you!" Alden responded angrily, "what did he do?" he demanded, "tell you what you really were?" he asked nastily.

"I can't believe you'd say that Alden!" Nina squeaked tearfully, "you know me Alden!"

"Not enough obviously," Alden spat with scorn and started to walk away, "and Nina," he added.

"What?" Nina asked in a small voice.

"If you make Connor go to jail," Alden stated, "I will destroy you," he snarled, "I'll make everyone in school know what happened and make as many students and teachers and Heads of the school believe that you're nothing more than a diabolically evil liar," he told her, "no one wants someone who'd lie about something as horrible as rape around them," he said, "and even if you transfer," he stated, "your good name will be ruined forever."

Alden then walked off leaving a shocked Nina behind.

(The Following School Day)

Sharon and Maria were whispering to each other at Sharon's locker when Nina entered with her posse. Both gave Nina hateful glares and this surprised Nina's posse.

"What's your problem?" a girl from Nina's posse demanded, "jealous?"

"They're not jealous of people who hang around a cheap trashy lying whore," a voice said suddenly and everyone turned in shock to see Connor, "funny," he said staring straight at Nina, "I was released late last night because some whorish popular girl dropped rape charges off me late last night," he stated, "you wouldn't know who it was?" he asked looking intently at Nina, "Miss Harper?" he asked in a teasing tone.

"No," Nina lied and tried her best to keep her usual composure.

"Well I'm certain everyone here will agree that the girl must've been a liar," Connor pressed, "after all," he continued, "who here truly believes that I could truly rape one of you?" he asked and everyone else in the area laughed except for Nina, a few members of her posse and surprisingly Maria as well.

"Rape is not funny," Maria stated and walked off cutting off the laughter o the students, including her best friend Sharon.

"What's up with her?" Connor asked Sharon.

"I don't know," Sharon responded as Nina and her posse walked off (a few of them still stifling giggles), "but I'm going to find out," she said with great determination.
