Writer’s POV
Henry’s hands balled into fists as he looked down at the three girls lying on the floor. Ivory, Nova, and Hilda were a mess bruises covered their faces, their lips were split, and dried blood stained their noses. Their clothes were wrinkled, and their hair looked like it had been yanked in different directions. They weren’t just beaten; they had been completely wrecked.
His jaw tightened. “What the hell happened to you?”
None of them answered. Nova wiped at her bloody lip, her fingers trembling. Ivory looked away, biting down on whatever pain she was feeling. Hilda, usually the loudest of the three, sat hunched over, eyes on the floor. None of them had the usual arrogance they carried around.
Henry pulled out his phone. If they weren’t going to talk, then he’d force them. He aimed the camera at them and took a few pictures, capturing every bruise, every drop of blood.
“What are you doing?” Nova’s voice came out weak, but there was fear in it.
Henry ignored her and smirked. “If you don’t tell me who did this to you, I’ll post it on the school blog.”
All three of them snapped their heads up.
“You wouldn’t,” Hilda whispered.
Henry raised an eyebrow. “Try me.”
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with hesitation. It was like they were silently arguing, deciding if they should talk or not.
“I’m serious,” Henry continued, his thumb hovering over the screen. “Tell me who did it, or I’ll let everyone see how pathetic you look right now.”
Hilda’s fists clenched. “You’re bluffing.”
Henry didn’t blink. “Am I?”
Ivory swallowed hard, her eyes darting between Henry’s phone and Hilda. “Hilda, just—”
“Shut up,” Hilda snapped, her voice shaking.
Henry’s smirk widened. “You’re scared. That’s new.”
“We’re not scared,” Nova hissed. “We just don’t want you to involve.”
Henry chuckled darkly. “Huh? You mean involved in the part where you almost killed Niylah?” His voice dropped, his expression turning cold. “You think you’re the only ones who can make threats?”
None of them spoke.
“Then talk.”
They didn’t. Instead, they started pleading. Saying they’d do anything if he didn’t post it. But Henry was tired of their pleads. Without another word, he pressed post.
Their gasps filled the room.
“No! Henry, take it down!” Nova cried.
Hilda launched forward, trying to grab his phone, but Henry dodged easily.
“Too late,” he said simply.
Ivory let out a shaky breath. “You… you don’t know what you just did.”
Henry turned to leave, but he paused at the door. “I know exactly what I did. And I hope whoever did this to you comes back for round two.”
Then he walked out, leaving them to deal with whatever was coming next.
By the time he got home, everyone was in the living room Liam, Alex, Alexandra, and Niylah. The moment he stepped in, his eyes immediately searched for her. She was sitting stiffly on the couch, arms crossed, her face still slightly pale from what happened earlier.
“How are you Niylah?” he asked, stepping closer.
She didn’t even look at him. “Don’t talk to me again.”
Henry’s heart clenched. But before he could react, Alex snorted. “Stop lying.”
Everyone turned to him in confusion, but Niylah’s face instantly turned red. She knew exactly what he meant.
Henry narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean?”
Alex simply smirked and leaned back, but he didn’t explain.
Henry sighed and pulled out his phone. “Anyway, I want to show you guys something.”
He pressed play, and the video of the beaten girls filled the screen. Ivory, Nova, and Hilda, looking completely destroyed.
Everyone’s reaction was different. Alexandra’s eyes widened. Liam leaned forward, watching closely. Niylah looked shocked but said nothing.
“Who did this?” Alex asked after a long silence.
Henry crossed his arms. “That’s the problem. They wouldn’t say.”
“They deserve it,” Alexandra muttered under her breath.
Henry smirked. “I agree, but I still wanted to know who gave them a taste of their own medicine.”
The room stayed quiet for a moment before Alexandra burst out laughing. “I love this. Whoever did this, I want to shake their hand.”
Niylah frowned. “But… what if it was someone worse than them?”
“Niylah, there’s no one worse than them.” Alexandra rolled her eyes.
The arguing went on until Liam suddenly let out a heavy sigh.
“Alright, fine. I did it,” he admitted.
Silence call inside the room.
Niylah’s eyes widened. “You…?”
Alexandra grinned, eyes filled with admiration. Before she realized what she was doing, she threw her arms around Liam in a tight hug. Liam froze for a moment before she suddenly pulled away, clearing her throat awkwardly.
Alex simply nodded in approval. “Not bad.”
Henry, still processing, frowned. “Why?”
Liam shrugged. “Because I couldn’t just sit back and let them get away with it.”
Henry stared at him, then shook his head in disbelief. “Then why didn’t they say your name?”
Liam smirked, leaning back against the couch. “Because I warned them. I told them that if they snitched, I’d do worse.”
Henry couldn’t help but chuckle.
Alexandra was still grinning when she nudged Liam. “You really scared them that bad?”
“They had it coming.” Liam shrugged.
“Well, whatever happens next, I’m glad they finally got what they deserved.” Henry leaned back, finally relaxing.
Niylah, however, stayed quiet. Her mind was racing. Part of her was relieved. Another part of her was uneasy.
Suddenly, all their phones buzzed at the same time.
One notification. Then another.
And another.
Everyone exchanged glances, confused.
“What the hell is going on?” Alex muttered, pulling out his phone.
Henry did the same, and the moment he saw what was on the screen, he wasn’t surprised.
The school blog was flooded with comments and Messages.
