“What are you going to do?” Aubree feigned fear as she was quickly cornered by the five girls.

“What are we going to do?” The leader spat out her cigarette and glared viciously. “If it weren’t for you, my parents wouldn’t plan to send me abroad!”

No parent would willingly accept a daughter being a murderer. Their families were either ashamed and ready to abandon them, trying to ship them off abroad, or marrying them off as quickly as possible if money was tight.

These five girls had pinned all their misfortunes on Aubree.

“You think you’re so great with your little bronze award? You got all of us into trouble!” Another girl slapped Aubree’s face lightly.

The one with the knife sneered. “You think you’re something, bullying Carmen? Don’t you know she’s under our protection? Had fun at your birthday yesterday, huh? How dare you stole Carmen’s spotlight?”

Another one said, “That fireworks display was really something. How many sugar daddies did you have to sleep with to make it happen?”

A flood of foul and vulgar language poured down on Aubree.

Aubree looked terrified. “What… what are you going to do to me?”

“What do you think?” The leader grinned maniacally.

She added, “You love attention, right? We’ll get you on the front page. How about this headline? ‘High school girl assaulted and murdered on her way to school’? We think it suits you perfectly.”

“Lucky you, we won’t waste time. We’ll only make it hurt for a moment. After you’re dead, we’ll strip off your clothes and then…” Their eyes dropped to Aubree’s private parts, twisted with sadistic delight.
