The sun has already set. Taylor Hill gives a call to the Rulin's house to inform Heather that her son Shawn is all right and that he'll be back soon. Heather thanks him then they both hang up. Taylor approaches his bed, where Shawn is sleeping peacefully. They talked a lot, about the fact that they'll have to face maybe more of these humiliations. Taylor promised to his boyfriend that he'll be always there for him, and the latter did the same.

Taylor gently caress the forehead of his dear boyfriend, he strokes his hair then gives a tender kiss on his cheek. Shawn gently open his eyes and when he see the face of his beloved, a smile appear on his face. He feels protected from everything that might hurt him, he feels almost invincible. They remain silent, looking at each other in the eyes, then it's followed by a long and passionate kiss.

"What..what time is it?" asks Shawn in a little whisper. Taylor smiles and ask him if he already want to leave him, "No...it's not that. It's just that mom will get worried and---" he replies but Taylor puts his finger on his mouth to stop him from talking and gives him another long and tender kiss, then it's followed by a warm hug. "I love you so much..." whispers Shawn in the ear of his boyfriend.

"I love you too." replies Taylor with an angelic smile. "I'll always be around for you. And tomorrow, I'm going to kick the asses of those who humiliated you, I promise. I'll find this guy who asked you to follow him in the toilets, and I'll make him suffer much more than you did." says Taylor as he continues to hug his lovely boyfriend. The latter replies a shy thank you and gives him a kiss.

"I'll miss you a lot." says Taylor with a little smile as Shawn exits his house. They're now looking at each other, Taylor approaches his lover and gives him another long and tender kiss. "You want me to...accompany you to your house? You know...just in case." he asks feeling worried for the safety of Shawn.

There's a moment of silence, then a smile appears on Shawn's face. "I'd love that." he replies in a little whisper. He's tired and he want to spend all of his time with Taylor. The latter gives him a quick kiss on the lips and goes in the house to tell his parents that he's going to accompany Shawn to his house.

"It's ok. We can go." says Taylor with a smile as he get back. Then, after closing the door, he and his boyfriend, Shawn, head to the latter's house. They chat, they laugh and they kiss as they're walking. But, Taylor is feeling a pain in the heart, not physically speaking but...mentally speaking. He has been ordered to do something that he don't want to do. And as they are getting closer to the Rulin's house, he takes the hand of his boyfriend and hold it tight.

"Thanks." whispers Shawn with a smile. He loves Taylor more than anyone can imagine, he's his motivation to go higher. If Taylor didn't come back, Shawn wouldn't be here right now. Fingers between fingers, they continue their walk and finally arrives infront of Shawn's house. "This is it." says Shawn, still whispering.

"You sure you're going to be ok? I can stay longer if you want." proposes Taylor with his smile. If he proposed this, it's not only because he want to help Shawn get better but...also to be close to him. To be able to hold him, to be with him more.

There's a moment of silence, then Shawn approaches Taylor and give him a warm and tender hug, "In fact...I..I would really...be happy...if...you could...spend the night...with me." After hearing this, Taylor tightens the hug.

"Yeah, sure! If..if your mom is ok with it. I'm sure my parents won't mind." says Taylor as little tears come to his eyes. Shawn says that his mother won't mind either, after all, she knows he's gay.

They spent the night together, in Shawn's room. They talked a lot, laughed a lot, Taylor tickled his boyfriend during the night, his soft armpits and tender feet, Shawn loved it and he tickled Taylor too. They enjoyed the moment. Both wanted to remain like this forever, yep, forever. Then, the next morning, Taylor went to his house early to get prepared for school. But before leaving Shawn's house, he gave the latter a very passionate kiss.

Three guys are talking, they're all around 16-17 years old. Three blonds, each holding a hot cup of coffee. They're chatting about the event that happened yesterday in the toilets' corridor. They loved it!! They wished they could have beaten the hell out of this faggot of Shawn Rulin.

"Uh, um, excuse me." says a shy voice approaching the three guys. They turn around to face another blond boy. Kevin Rhodes. "I heard you talking about Shawn Rulin, so, I was wondering what was the matter with this guy." he says as he want to know what happened exactly. He was absent yesterday.

Jerry, the leader of the three guys, decides to explain. As he does it, Kevin feels a sort of satisfaction inside of himself. It means that Shawn must be really low and sad, a really good occasion for him. "...and that's why we were wishing we could have beaten the hell outta this scum!" finishes Jerry.

"Thanks...for the info." replies Kevin shyly and he goes away, a smile on the face. He has a lot of "work" to do. He must talk to both Shawn and Taylor. Specially Shawn. He has waited for this really long, it's his time now.

"So, are you happy now?" asks Christopher to the girl sitting infront of him. Both of them are drinking a cup of expresso. Christopher helped Kristine to get her revenge from Shawn Rulin. He contacted Menrad Billows, the nightmare of the weaklings, and the latter did the ugly part of the job. Dress Shawn like a fancy princess, the costume being created by the skillful hands of Kristine, well, she just used her ability.

"Not really. I've thought of some more ways to hurt him more. But, don't worry, they're not like the one we did yesterday." replies Kristine with an evil smile. Well, she's not that bad, she's just deeply hurt. To lose her boyfriend to another boy, for a girl, it's really humiliating.

"Kristine...I think he suffered enough. And besides, you're going to make me jealous. After all, I'm your new boyfriend, so, just forget Taylor Hill. Please." says Christopher feeling a bit rejected. But Kristine just reply with a smile and gives him a kiss.

"You're so cute when you're angry." says the girl with her evil smile. They both start to laugh a little bit for a moment. A laugh...Kristine didn't have one since long. Maybe Christopher is right, she had what she wanted. "All right, Chris. I'll forget Taylor, the fag, and I'll focus on you, and only you. AND! If ever you dump me for another boy, you're gonna regret it!!" she adds, joking. They have another good laugh.

"I love you." says Christopher, smiling.

"I love you too." replies Kristine, smiling back.

Brittany Reed, wearing a black top, black jeans and dark blue shoes, knocks on the back door of the Adams' house. Three knocks, a pause, then two other knocks. After a little moment, the door opens, Brittany enters the house. She follows Craig, who's wearing a blue shirt, dark blue jeans and black shoes. They enter the cellar, they go in the very back of it. Craig presses a spot on the wall and a hidden door opens. They enter the hidden room, closing the door behind them.

"My parents went to work early, so we can all the time we want." says Craig with a smile. Brittany looks at him and replies that she has a history test today on the 2nd period, so they have only one hour maximum. "All right, I guess in one hour, we can make her talk. There, I've put her in this room. You know, I still can't believe there're all these hidden rooms in this house. I'm glad I found this hidden door." says an amazed Craig as he look around.

"I'm really sorry for what happened, if I came to school yesterday, I would have kicked the asses of those shit-heads!" says a concerned Kevin to his friend, Shawn. The latter is waiting for his boyfriend, Taylor, who went to the toilets. Since he arrived at school today, Shawn has been looking for the guy who asked him to come to the toilets. But, still no sign of that guy.

"Thanks." replies Shawn shyly and almost in a whisper. He's still looking around to find that guy. Shawn is wearing a brown t-shirt, black tracksuit pants and black shoes. Kevin notices that his friend is looking for someone, so he ask him who he's looking for. "Oh, it's..it's a bit..of..a long story, so.." replies Shawn, still in the shy mode. Suddenly, he realizes that he wanted to ask Kevin a little question. "Um, Kevin...I wanted to ask you, as you talked about it some minutes ago...why were you absent yesterday? You know, that's weird, coz' Taylor was absent too."

Kevin remains silent, he's surprised by this question. Then, after a little sigh, he says, "You think me and Taylor---"

"I don't think anything, I'm just asking." interrupts Shawn, almost coldly. Kevin's heart nearly stopped, he came to one of his friends, he tried to console him but he gets accused of sleeping with somebody else's boyfriend.

"Shawn, I..I don't know why you are like that today. Maybe it's because of yester---"

"You didn't answer my question." interrupts Shawn again, in a colder tone. Another moment of silence. Kevin opens his mouth like if he was going to say something but instead, he sighs.

"Uh...um...I gotta go, see you later." says Kevin as he goes away quickly, leaving Shawn no time to interrupt. The latter is amazed and surprised, doubts start to grow in his mind. Why Kevin didn't answer him? All he asked was why he was absent yesterday, that's all. Shawn looks around, still surprised and wondering why Kev...He sees the guy he was looking for near the cafeteria.

"How are you doing, Monica?" asks Brittany with an evil grin. Monica Des'ree has been kidnapped, for what reason? No one knows. "Still the same attitude? Still don't want to tell us where the key is??" asks Brittany, still in the evil tone. Monica is tied on a bed, she's tired, she's feeling hopeless.

"I'll...I'll...I'll never tell you. You can..you can..you can GO TO HELL!!" replies Monica, wanting to kill both Craig and Brittany. "You will...you will regret what you did to me. I..I promise you...I promise you that!"

"Moni-Moni, let me tell you one little thing. If ever you don't tell us where that key is, someone will have to suffer from it. Someone that you love a lot. Guess who it is!" says Brittany with her evil smile.

"Sc..Scott can..Scott can defend himself. He will...make..he will make you pay...scums!" says Monica as a reply. But she's scared, both Craig and Brittany could do anything to get that key. Brittany rammed her with a car, Craig kidnapped her, what could they do to Scott?

"We're not talking about Scott." says Craig, coming closer to Monica. "We're talking about your little brother!" Monica freezes...She's shocked, scared...

"I hope that you will talk now..." whispers an evil Brittany Reed in the ear of Monica.

"Hey you!!" says an angry Shawn as he puts his hand on the shoulder of Tommy. The latter turns around, fear appears in his eyes. He tries to runaway but Shawn uses his ability and throws him on a wall and maintain him on it, Tommy can't move. Shawn approaches him, with anger in his eyes. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU???? WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME??? ANSWER!!!!"

Tommy remains silent, he's scared, what if Menrad is looking at him? If ever he talks, he will get beaten to death but if he remains silent, he will get beaten to death too. "I..I..I..I---"

"TELL ME!!!!!!" thunders Shawn as he puts his hand on Tommy throat and starts to press it. Tommy tries to move but in vain. "C'MON!!!" thunders Shawn again.

"It..it wasn't me...I..I.." replies Tommy as tears come to his eyes. He can't stand it, what did he do to get such a horrible punishment?? "I'm...I'm sorry...It wasn't me...it wasn't me."

Shawn stares at him for a moment, then, the inevitable question comes up, "Then, tell me who! Who did it???"

After a moment of silence, Tommy finally decides to tell Shawn who's the one who did this horrible thing to him, BUT, as he opens his mouth, he notices Menrad staring at him, with the if you tell him, you're dead look.

"So???? Tell me!!!" says Shawn, still looking at Tommy. The latter glances at Menrad, then at Shawn, not knowing what to do.
