One Hundred And Thirteen

"You okay?" He asked when we started walking at our own pace to school. I could read that he was asking about how weird I sounded yesterday, but I wasn't ready to have that conversation so I attempted to change the question.

"Nick was right, Uche. We're really gonna be late if we keep walking slowly like this."

He stopped walking and sighed, pushing all his hair back."You're doing it again, you're changing the topic."

"..." I opened my mouth to speak but no word came to my defense.

"If there's something on your mind, can we please talk it out?" He asked with a serious face, making goosebumps grow over all parts of my skin.

"Nothing," I slipped a lie.

He sighed again."Are you still mad at me?" He deduced.

"I'm not."

"Two things. You're either mad at me or it's something else. Since you're not mad at me, what's the something else?"

Tears formed in my eyes as I spoke, "It's my mum..." I stopped and swallowed. He immediately took my right hand in his and rubbed it gently.

"Is she okay?"

"Yeah, it's just..." I paused, not knowing how to tell him."I don't want to talk about it yet." I sniffed and he pulled me in for another hug, softer this time.

Later, at school, I walked next to Casey on my way to my locker. We both stopped when we saw Nick flirting with a girl. I slowly turned my neck to her. She was staring at them with a smile and it surprised me.

"You cool with him doing that?" I asked her and she shook her head.

"I'm gonna embarrass him," she said, a smile still on her face.

"Hmmn?"

"Can you help me get his phone?"She turned to me with puppy eyes.

"His phone? What for?"

"I'm going to post everything online. He chats with them, all of 'em. And the pics they are exchanging too. Will you help me?"

"Woah," I chuckled, thinking she was joking."I thought you liked Nick?"

"He trash. I still like him, but he's trash. I really don't mind being a dummy and letting him use me, but talking to other girls? Hell no."

"I don't know if I can get his phone..." I trailed.

"It's fine. I'll get it myself." She shrugged and led the way to our locker."Can I borrow your math textbook? Don't know where I kept mine." 

 During our lunch break. I sat alone in a corner of the cafeteria, waiting for Casey while Uche stared at me consistently from where he sat with his friends.

"Stop." I texted him and watched him read my message.

"Stop what?" he replied and I sighed while typing my reply.

"Stop staring."

"Just making sure u ok" he typed again.

"I am" I sent and when I looked up from my phone, Casey was standing in front of me, blocking my view of Uche.

"I got it," She smiled mischievously and I could immediately tell what 'it' she 'got'.

"How?" I found myself smiling, a little impressed because Nick always had his phone on him. How did she get it?

"Rhea's fucking him in the abandoned plant house out in the field." She explained before taking her seat opposite to me."He left it on the floor, so I sneaked it out with a stick."

"They didn't notice?" I asked.

"Nick's got good dick, Rhea's senses were blue, probably, and I guess he was focused on that." She replied and immediately made me regret asking. What was I supposed to do with the information she just gave me?

"Well, you got his phone now. You really going to do what you said earlier?" I sucked on the straw of my carton of fruit juice.

"Of course, I'm on it."

"Do you even know his password?" I asked and she smirked proudly.

"Casey doesn't need a password to access anyone's phone. I could have copied the texts and images I wanted to my phone, but I wanna post it with his phone." Her words were proud.

"Let me see, what pics do you want to post, screenshots?"

"Yeah, and nudes." She answered, her hands busy on Nick's phone screen.

"His nudes or her nudes?" 

"Both. And the nude pics of every girl in our class he's fucked. His dick pics, their boobs, it's all going online."

My straw immediately left my mouth."What? No. Casey..." I became lost for words."Don't do that."

"I know Nick's your brother, but you're not changing my mind. I'm going to embarrass him."

"I'm not talking about him. I'm talking of the girls...Casey, if you post their nudes, it'd be just as cruel as whoever put up the video of you and Nick did." 

She held her thumb over his phone like a tap could send everything online."Think of it, whoever did that to you probably had the same intentions. Maybe Nick used her and she decided to embarrass you and him together but who got hurt most in the end? You." 

"If you post those pics, the girls are just going to be ridiculed but Nick might not. Our class treats him like he's their prince or something..."

"I don't care," Casey inhaled loudly after listening to me.

"You don't care? Are you serious right now?" She couldn't be.

"If they don't want their nudes publicized, they shouldn't be sending it to Nick. Have you seen how many of these are in his phone?"

"Just delete them, don't post them. Please?" I decided to plead in the end and heard her groan.

"Urrgh, fine. But I'm posting the video of him fucking Rhea."

"Casey..."

"There's more of him than her, don't worry." Her fingers started to work on Nick's screen again and soon, I heard my phone vibrate with a notification.

I lifted it and checked. It was the video. She had sent it to his story, and to the class group too. I looked around and watched as almost everyone began to check their phones quickly. I think word had spread already.
