Alec got out of the Taxi after grabbing his duffel bag of the back seat. He payed the driver then walked up to the front door of what used to he one of his teachers house. Apparently it had been sold to a old friend of his. He smirked as he heard and felt the bass of the music through the front door. He pushed the door open and walked through the house until he found his friend. After chatting for a few minutes he stored his bag in the guys room before heading downstairs and searching a drink. As he searched he ran his tongue ring over his teeth and looked around the crowd for anyone he knew.

Alec:

Teyha groaned softly, letting herself be dragged Behind her friend by the wrist. A party? Like she needed MORE human interaction. "Sorrie..." She began in a whine, the shorter girl casting back a sour look at her, only to tug her along with far less mercy than before. For such a short chubby girl she had a hell of a grip, and Teyha didn't care to try to dislodge her from here she had worked her way curling around her arm.

She could hear the booming beat of music long before they actually reached the house, and Sorrie simply shoved the door open, only to release Teyha the moment they stepped through the frame of the door and disappear into the crowd to cackle lowly about whoever else decided to show at the gathering.

Awkwardly the girl stood in the doorway, eyes wide and frightful. First instinct told her to run fast away from the offending scene, and back to the comfort of her obnoxiously loud music, lacking only the vermin of young adults that polluted this home. Instead she simply moved forward, frowning, before anyone could shove her out of their way.

The small town college kids who grouped around her dance and grooved with abandon, as if to scream 'I'm adult!' without a shred of evidence to back suck claim. She recognised a few, raising a brow at the 'freshmen fifteen' they seemed to gain. In the near year she was living away from her parents she was more transformed from her high school image, but in an utterly different way. Once heavier then the friend who forced her to the party, Teyha was now bordering too skinny. Lack of food and daily walks to her job trimmed her waist down, and narrowed her body substantially. Her long stringy hair that hung limply down her back was all but lobbed off to curl around her ears, the bangs shorn around her eyes to fall messily in front of her line of sight. Even her clothes, rather the clothes Sorrie bummed for her to wear, where entirely different from the comfortable attire she was used to.

She had thought it was slutty when presented with it, but looking around now saw herself as the picture of modesty. Her loosely draped white top hung with sleeves that flowed around her elbows, the shirt itself draping to almost her knees, to flash the patterned tights that 'Showed skin without showing skin'... As the girl she was borrowing from put it. Most annoying were the ankle high boots paired with the look, and the awkward way she couldn't walk in them.

With one hand on the wall she stumbled around the edge of the refreshment table to pour herself a cup of the punch. Hell, if she couldn't dance or talk to anyone, she might as well eat!

Alec walked back to the refreshment table and refilled his cup. As he took a sip of the punch he looked at the girl that had just arrived. "Do I know you?" He recognized her but was not sure where from. He had known most of the kids in town before he left some he was not that surprised he could not place her. Although as he took in her body he was not sure why he did not remember her. HE took another swig of his drink as he looked back up at her eyes.
 
The scene all but left Teyha rolling her eyes. Still teenagers grinding and preforming any kin of soft core acts of near sexuality imaginable on the dance floor. With a half grunt of disgust she turned back to the precious food, what she lacked in her own small apartment. Grabbing at the chips she busied herself with a dip and crunch, careful not to bite down and spray the crumbs over her chin. She washed it down with swigs of the punch, smiling to herself for once. If nothing else the prospect of filling the ever present hole in her gut made her happy.

Just as she was beginning to relax someone approached. She turned half away, trying to seem more of a fixture than any kind of actual participant in this party. Still he didn't get her silent cue, and looked her over. It was only then that she looked up, her eyes locking securely on his, and the color fading from her already pale face. She swallowed hard, remembering him quite clearly, even if he couldn't remember her.

Alec, the bully from her high school existence. He made her life a daily hell then, tormenting her, picking on her, humiliating her in any way he pleased. Then he was ruthless, and delighted in any amount of torment he could inflict on the overweight outcast of a girl, knowing full well no one would come to her defense. She feared him, feared school, almost as much as she dreaded staying home with her own awful family. She watched him like one would a viper, and to her he was twice and dangerous and unpredictable.

A part of her screamed 'RUN NOW' and abandon the wealth of food that drew her there. Sorrie could be picked up later, and it wasn't as if she was having any kind of fun. Stubbornly though she stayed rooted in her spot, her eyes narrowing on the face of her once assailant. He seemed cheerful enough now, almost human. Almost. She all but glared at him for a moment, the face that was round when he knew her barely recognisable, and she knew full well that she could lie and pretend she didn't know him.

Did she? No. Instead she snatched at the ladle to the punch, and poured it into the shaking glass she was using, all but dropping it back into the bowl with a soft splash. "We knew each other in high school." She said, no longer looking at him, and her tone icy cold. "I was Teyha. Teyha Lockra." With that she took a long drink of the punch, and turned to dramatically storm away, only to stumble badly on the unfamiliar heels. She stumbled clumsily to the side with a shriek, trying to catch herself before falling flat on the ground.
 
Alec watched Teyha turn from pale to ghostly as she stared at him. He did not break eye contact with her as he tried to figure out what was going through her head. Usually he was good at figuring people out, actually it was one of his best skills and he had used it many many times.

He tilted his head slightly as if to look at her from another angle. Something was just on the edge of his mind but he could not place it. There was something about the way she looked at him. It was as if she was watching to make sure he did not jump her.

Maybe if he had not been trying to place her as one of the hot girls he had known before leaving town he might have been ready for what Teyha told him but that was not the case. So when she spoke he just laughed and stared at her. There was no way she could be telling the truth. No way.

"Who put you up to this?" He called after her then as she fell he just shook his head and walked up to her. He held out his free hand as he looked down at her. "really who are you?" He drained the rest of his punch and tried to figure out who she was but the only image he could come up with was Teyha the last time he had seen her. He had done his worst the last few weeks before he moved. Well at least what was his worst then, now was different he had learned how to be more careful.
 
Damn her balance! Damn the heels! Damn the fact that so many feet were darting their way around her own that she had little warning before a foot lashed out, and she caught it on her own. Unharmed the offender pulled back, but the girl feel hard onto the 'dancefloor'. She laid sprawled, as she had during the many times that boy had taken out his anger on her, leaving her cringing in pain, her knees drawn up to her chest. It had been a different site then, she was well aware. Larger, of course, but lacking the same sex appeal this fall had. Then she wore her favorite clothing, clothing she wished she wore now. Her over sized jacket easily added another fifty pounds. Thick glasses hid her bright hazel eyes, and a lack of any social life left her paler than she was now, the freckles that now stood lightly on her skin almost comically dark.

The loose dress she was 'bullied' into wearing hid very little, the material designed to be very light and breezy. Almost painfully aware of this fact Teyha moved herself quickly, already bringing her knees under her by the time the man neared her, and she pushed herself to her feet. She brushed her dress of angrily, trying to vent frustration and rage through the simplest of acts. It wasn't working well, and she knew it.

His helping hand ignored she leveled him the same glare. "You approached me." She pointed out bluntly, crossing her arms over her modest bosom to. "If I had been 'put up to it' I would have approached you. Makes sense, right? Lots of people here after all." Bullies were slow, as always, she thought in disgust.

Still, it wasn't in her to be angry for long, and her lips quivered in frustration, wanting to slope downwards instead of staying in the stern pissed line it was forced into. "You don't recognise me just because I lost weight and cut my hair?" She half demanded, unable to prevent the slight eye roll. "I'm Teyha. The same Teyha you knew in high school. The one you bullied and degraded daily. Remember? Yeah. That was me."
 
Alec made the connection as soon as he saw Teyha sprawled on the floor just like when he had bullied her in high school. He had seen her that way so many times before that there was no way he could mistake her now.

He smirked and tilted his head slightly as he he got a quick look under the thin material of her dress before she got her feet under her and stood up. He chuckled under his breath as he watched her brush at her dress in what he could see was a futile attempt to get out her frustration.

He dropped his hand and just shook his head at her words. "Alright, alright. I believe you." He stared back at her but his face was a perfect mask of neutrality. Under the surface though his mind was racing. He had been able to push down most of his more violent urges but now they were starting to worm their way back up to the front of his mind. There was nothing he could do about the images that started to flash through his mind of the things he used to do with Teyha. But on top of those there were things he barely thought about but wanted to do. Even through he had never done them he could see himself forcing Teyha to do them.

He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "Honesty yes, but you know maybe it had something to do with the fact that I have changed since high school as well." To him he had changed on the inside as much as she had on the outside. Well thats what he let people think anyway. "Now, can we put this behind us for at least tonight? I would rather not have someone thinking I am harassing you." He looked past her to some of the people who had stopped and were starting to watch them.
 
Thankfully Teyha did not catch how the boy tilted his head, trying to peek up the skirt of the girl he had once tortured so relentlessly. A shy girl by nature she allowed no one to see her in about any state of undress, and this neanderthal who caused her so much pain and spilled so many of her tears? He didn't deserve even the peep up at her modest black underwear, o the stockings that covered up to it!

She didn't view herself as sexual often, and his peek went unnoticed, leaving Teyha focused only on the cruelty of his strength, and how he made her hurt with his brutality alone. That and his blatant hypocrisy. He wouldn't have given her the slightest break had she still been her large and far more unattractive self. No, by now he would be finding a way to humiliate, degrade, or outright hurt her. It was a cruelty of the world, she knew. Not only how he treated her now, but how those around them reacted. Not once in high school did a student raise a finger to defend her, but the crowd she drew now was startling, and she glanced around herself nervously.

"Heaven knows you've never done that befgore." She returned softly, but turned away slowly to prevent stumbling. "I want nothing to do with you, Alec. You're scum, as far as I'm concerned you don't exist. Don't talk to me, I wont talk to you."

((Short post, I'm sorry))
 
Alec laughed at her comment and ran his tongue ring over his teeth again as he thought about what to say. "Teyha, you know as well as I do that as long as you know I am here you will have a hard time not thinking about me." He watched her with interest as the people around them started to grown. He was pretty sure that she was getting more nervous with every new arrival. "Look, I want to put all those years behind me. So what do I have to do for you to at least drop the grudge?" He closed in on her but made no move to touch her.

He smiled as the group of people around them filled the space he had just left, effectively making the space around him and Teyha just that much smaller. He wanted to see how she would react to the growing crowd. He knew that if he was going to keep his spot in college he had to make it look like he had changed. But that just meant that he just had to grab someone and he could have fun out of site of everyone else.

The longer he was around Teyha the more he wanted to revert back to his old ways. It was as if she had unlocked the part of him that he had fought so long to keep under control. Part of him loved this but then again the other part of hims mind was trying to keep his more sadistic side under control.

(no problem. I work with what I get and you always give me enough to work with. :))
 
Slowly the party ground to a halt, the dancers pausing to stare openly at the fighting pair. They formed a wall of bodies around Teyha and her old enemy, trapping her in with him with no way to escape short of pushing and shoving any in her way. Of course such an aggressive move was far beyond Teyha's ability, so the ever tightening throng created a barrier as real and impassable as solid rock. She danced forward as if to escape, brows drawn together, changing her expression to fear within seconds.

She felt claustrophobic, but the space only closed in more, forcing her within a few feet of her old tormentor, leaving her no choice but to turn to face him and continue the live performance or the enjoyment of their captive audience. The people she thought before to be allies to aid her in this encounter now guards, sentinels to ensure she would not budge from her pace within the circle. "You give yourself too much credit." She said numbly when she realized there was no running just yet. "I wasn't going to enjoy this party either way. Only now there's a cockroach scurrying among the crowd I have to keep from bumping into. Vermin."

She practically spit the last word, her expression darkening for a brief moment before she recovered, and returned to herself again. "It's easy for you to forget, say you've changed, that you're better than before, huh?" She continued almost lightly, "It's been a year after all. You might even believe that you turned over a new leaf, and want to begin anew. I don't buy it though. I don't want you around me, I don't want to see you or be around you. Leave me alone, Alec, you had your fun in high school. I don't care what you do, but don't you dare do it around me."
 
Alec watched her as her fear started to show as the crowed closed in around them. He was loving this, it was just like old times but now the crowds were forcing them closer together rather than disappearing and leaving them alone. He glanced around at the faces and saw what one of his teachers liked to refer to as the 'Wanted Violence.'

It was the look that you saw on the faces of the people who stop to look at a car crash, or people who watch Nascar just to see the crashes. It was just part of our nature. We always wanted to see violence as long as it is not directed at us.

His eyes flew back to Teyha the instant he heard her words. For the first time his composer slipped and he took a step closer to her as his rage broke through. "Your calling me vermin?" He laughed and took another step closer to her as he dropped his empty cup and clenched his fists. "I am not the one who scuttled around the school now was I?" He sneered at her. "No it wasn't because I remember you doing that not me." His voice got lower and lower as he got closer and closer to her.

He raised an eyebrow as she stopped speaking. "You don't care as long as its not with you hu?" His sneer turned to a slight smirk. "Maybe I will look up your friend Sorrie. I think she might be up for some fun don't you?" His voice was so low by the end that the people around them were leaning in to try and hear what he had said.
 
While Alec was enjoying the old high of his bullying, Teyha wanted nothing more than to scurry away. She cursed humans in her head, and their sadistic love for violence and watching others in pain. A year after she was bullied last and very little had changed, short of her own appearance. It bought her her allies for once, mainly a boy or two who hooted for her attacker to step away, without actually getting involved in the fight. Or, to her, those who wanted to play knights in white armor without risking it being dinged, to reap the fruits of their 'involvement' later.

The crowds chiding and hissing aside it was only her who had to face Alec, and she did so on trembling knees, her eyes darting anywhere but to the man himself. Only her temper made her glare back at her attacker when he referred to her as vermin herself. Shy and non confrontational certainly fit a few creatures bearing that distinction, mice especially, but she saw a sharp difference between her and them. She would contribute to the world. She at least thought she was smart and gentle, dedicated to helping others before herself... And Alec knew it, and manipulated that fact.

"You leave Sorrie alone!" She snapped angrily, her hands clenching and unclenching at her sides. "Are you truly so pathetic that you can't even sit through a single party without hurting someone? Changed? Phht! The only thing you've shed is your ski, and there's an identical coat underneath!" She leaned back away from him, one foot turned back for balance, and her expression drifting between fear and hatred. "I didn't ant to cause trouble. I just cannot forgive someone like you. You're cruel and I want nothing to do with you or your ways. Leave me AND my friends alone."
 
Alec Turned and glared at the guys who were telling him to stop. hen turning back to Teyha and shrugged. "Fine have it your way. I will leave her alone but you might want to think about what she wants and not be selfish and deny her whatever entertainment I might have been able to give her." Usual he would have been able to twist her words much better than he had but he had already had a few cups of the punch and even added even more Alcohol to a few of them.

He looked around at the crowd but was not happy at what he saw. The majority of the faces had a mix of anger at what he was doing but then a sick lust for more. He knew he would have to cut his fun short if he was going to stay in peoples good books.

He sighed and looked back at Teyha. "Well its been nice to see you again but I got to get a drink. So I will see you around." He gave her a sarcastic salute then turned around and started to push his way through the crowd. "Move, I want a drink so get out of my way."
 
The young girl was all but ready for a fight. In all the time that she knew Alec he never backed down from one, and never gave her a break until he felt his fun was done. Of course her fists were balled just as tightly as she could manage, until the white of her knuckles pressed against her skin, and her eyes narrowed on his face. She as done being his helpless victim, even if she wasn't sure how exactly she would stop him if he chose aggression again. She couldn't beat him in a fight even if she was inclined to try, and frankly she wasn't nearly that stupid.

Much to her surprise, she didn't have to. Alec who never gave her even one break through all the time they knew one another in high school now shrank away, apparently disturbed by the heckling of the crowd. He looked them over, as if weighing the options, that he had to lose by trying to hurt Teyha then. Odds apparently not in his favor he finally gave in, and heaved a long sigh, turning his eyes back to Teyha to look her over again.

His words surprised the girl, her own eyes widening a degree at the almost sane gesture the boy made. Her fists loosened, and she stared at him as he turned away, making sure he was leaving. A moment she stood in place, staring, before the tension eased from her lean body, and she looked around herself at the thinning crowd, leaving now that the fun was over. "Well that was odd..." Teyha said to herself, earning her more than one questioning look and sidewards step away. "Oh mind your own business." She snapped, and walked back to the refreshment table. She was there first after all, and had nothing better to do than fill up on the snacks. She didn't HAVE to talk to Alec after all.
 
Alec was drumming his fingers on the table as he loaded up at plate of food. He could still feel his blood rushing through his body. He had missed the rush and feeling of power he got out of pushing Teyha. He smiled to himself as he started to imagine what it was going to feel like when he really pushed her.

He looked over at her when she came back to the table and laughed. He was about to start talking to her when the host of the party walked up behind him and wrapped his arm around his shoulder and waved a bottle of vodka between Alec and Teyha to get Alec's attention.

"Alec lets go upstairs. I want to hear all about the city girls I am sure you met." He laughed as Alec's eyes followed the swinging bottle for a few moments then his gaze shifted to his friend. "What do you think I am some alcoholic?" He grabbed the bottle and took a long swig before his friend took it back. Alec shook his head and screwed up his face. "God it burns, but fuck I love it." They both laughed then Alec grabbed his food and they both started to walk towards the stairs. Alec glanced back at Teyha and held up the bottle smiling at her then took a short swig and looked away.
