Blackmail: To Hell with Ray! - Go in the front door.

From Create Your Own Story

Being a young teenage girl is tough!

You go in the front door, calling out "Hi, mom!" as you head for the stairs - desperate to make it up before she sees what's on your pants. It doesn't work. "What's that on your pants?" she asks. Then she comes close and sees. "Just what has been going on?" she asks sharply - then she's caught you by the ear and an all-time classic mother-daughter freeze-match is on. Ray slips in, unnoticed, and gets up to his room. You think he looks a little pink, but you, you're blushing so hot you sweat.

By the time Dad gets home, your mother's wormed the whole story out of you - beginning to end. She's angry at you. Dad's angry at T. He is determined to get "that boy" punished for what he's done.

It doesn't work out that way. T denies everything, he's not giving up DNA voluntarily, the school doesn't want the police involved, and the police don't want themselves involved. And in the process of reporting everything, and making you do it, your parents ensure that the whole cheating thing comes out - with you implicating yourself - and while T denies everything, you are definitely on the hook. You're suspended. While you're suspended, a new video goes viral among your classmates. It's images of Japanese cartoon porn, but the audio is T's recording of your unmistakable voice talking dirty to him. Your parents are computer-illiterate and might never have found it; but under the circumstances the teachers decide to report it. Before it's all over, you're too embarrassed to go back to school. Your academic career doesn't end well. You settle for a GED and get your first job at a truck stop.

And yet it isn't the end of the world. It's honest work if you do it honestly - and while you may have a slut-from-hell reputation among your old classmates, you know you didn't give T more than a little of what he wanted, and it's up to you to decide whether to live up to that reputation or not. You've broken out of the cycle of blackmail, so for that story, this is

THE END.
