Episode 29

Klarissa’s POV

I was sitting at our bench at school, next to Steve and across from Alice and Emily.

Steve had been sharing a story he had written in his free time. He was a quiet dude, but beneath his shyness he had talent. Lots of talent. He was an incredible guy.

He smiled shyly, dark hair falling over his eyes as we praised his story. He was obviously not very used to receiving complements.

After a moment, Paris and Adam arrived from “visiting a teacher”. I think it was safe to say that they were doing something quite different to that, as their faces were red, and they were hot and sweaty. They were glued to each other’s sides as per usual.

I didn’t blame them; Lily and I had hardly been more than a centimetre away from each other whenever we were together, since we became girlfriends last week, and it took a lot of self control to keep my lips off hers.

Since the pictures were posted, I had hardly seen Daryl, Kiara or Sarah around at school, thank god. It seemed that they were satisfied that they’d made our lives hell. Half of me knew that they had. My dad hadn’t said a word to me in a week. But my situation was nothing compared to poor Lily. Her mother was getting worse and worse, reaching closer to her decease. At least I wasn’t losing my only parent. It was a hard time for her, and I was glad that I was here for her.

On the other hand, I was out. To everybody. And I was happy with who I was. I wasn’t ashamed anymore. And Lily was my girlfriend. How could I not be happy with her around?

Daryl must’ve been surprised, as nobody at all seemed to care that Lily and I were lesbians. Many were commenting that we were cute, or that Daryl had no right to out us, or to have taken those pictures of us. The occasional person who was stuck in the 20th century was commenting about how “weird” or “gross” it was. But that didn’t bother me.

Steve was now reading out his story again to Paris and Adam, and receiving even more praise. He was as red as a tomato now.

I felt a pair of soft hands on my shoulders, and turned around to see a very familiar face.

“Hey Lily,” I said, staring into her eyes.

“Hey Klar,” She said, smiling back.

I could feel the tension between us, and knew that in not very long we would be glued together.

She blushed, pulling me up by my collar. I placed her face in my hands, and she smiled at me, her blue eyes glittering.

I felt her arms wrapping around my waste as she kissed me, heavily.

I moaned, as my hands made their way into her long, soft hair.

Someone cleared their throat behind me, and we stopped way too quickly.

“What have we told you guys every single day? Get a fucking room,” Adam said.

“You can’t say anything,” I said, referring to the fact that him and Paris were always all over each other.

“But at least we save that for elsewhere,” Paris said, shrugging.

“Sorry,” Lily said, taking my hand in hers.

“We can’t help it,”

“We’ve been talking about the plan,” Emily said.

“I know you’ve been opposed to it, Lily, but ever since we heard about what he did to you, there’s no way we can let him get away with it. It’s illegal,” she said angrily.

“It’s not really bothering me anymore,” Lily said.

I looked at her sternly. I knew it still bothered her. It still haunted her.

“Not now that I have Klarissa,” she said, and I felt the butterflies fluttering through my stomach.

“Klarissa doesn’t change what he did to you, and what he will continue to do to other girls,” Alice said.

“I brought my camera in my bag,” Steve said quietly.

“Paris and I will keep an eye out for his van. We’ll call Klarissa and Steve when it’s vacant. You can get in without a key can’t you, Steve?” Adam said.

“Yeah. I should be able to work it out. It’ll be too hard to steal his keys,” Steve said.

“Awesome.” I said.

“And call me if you need my help,” Alice said.

“Sure will; and we’ll update you at lunch;” I said, looking at Lily and Alice.

———

“What’s that?” Steve asked, pointing at something in the corner of Daryl’s van.

We had made it quickly into his van, and there was nobody around to see us break in. It was lunch, which seemed to be one of the only times he wasn’t luring a girl into having sex with him. He was too busy flirting with Kiara and Sarah, I assumed. Or bullying innocent people.

I had my flashlight on my phone, as it was dark. It was an awful place. I couldn’t believe this was where he had taken Lily to, and done that to her. I felt sick just thinking about it. But seeing the place where he did all these awful things just reminded me of why we were doing this. He deserved to be caught. The police would deal with him.

For us, the darkness of the van was good. It meant that he wouldn’t notice the camera that Steve was about to set up. However, it would make it a bit more difficult for us, even with my phone flashlight.

“What?” I asked, looking up.

“There’s something on the wall over there,” Steve said, walking over to the corner.

I walked beside him, aiming the flashlight towards the object on the wall.

He put his hand out, running his hands along the object.

It looked like nothing more than a black box.

“No way…” he said, sounding shocked.

“What is it?” I asked.

“I know enough about cameras to know that this isn’t just a box. It’s a camera. One that’s made to easily be mistaken as something else. Perfect for things like this,”

“You can see the lense here,” he pointed to a small dot on the front of it. Sure enough, if you looked close enough, it was undoubtedly a camera lense.

“And the memory card and battery go in here,” he pressed on a small square on the bottom, which opened. He took out the SD card, hiding it in his pocket.

“Does this mean that he’s been recording it all?” I asked, even though I knew that was exactly what it meant.

Steve nodded his head grimly; “This makes what he’s doing even more illegal. But it also means we have all the evidence we need right here. As long as he hasn’t removed the recordings after he uploaded them for nasty people on the internet to watch,”

“He’s made our plan ten times easier,” I said.

“Exactly,” Steve said, smiling.
