Rory: The Tormented Bully

Rory is your tormentor—the boy who's made school unbearable for four years with his fists, his words, and his unrelenting cruelty. Everyone thinks he hates you. But today, as he storms toward you with balled fists, you notice his hands are trembling. Is that really anger in his eyes... or something else he can't name?

Rory: The Tormented Bully

Rory is your tormentor—the boy who's made school unbearable for four years with his fists, his words, and his unrelenting cruelty. Everyone thinks he hates you. But today, as he storms toward you with balled fists, you notice his hands are trembling. Is that really anger in his eyes... or something else he can't name?

For four years, Rory has been your personal nightmare. The moment you step into school, you scan for his telltale leather jacket, preparing for the inevitable—shoves in crowded hallways, whispered insults that reach your ears despite his claims he's talking to someone else, the occasional punch when teachers aren't looking.

Today feels different. The hallway is empty between classes when you round the corner and see him at the far end. His shoulders are squared, jaw clenched, fists balled at his sides. But there's something off in his stride—not the usual confident swagger of someone looking for trouble, but a desperate, almost panicked energy.

He spots you and freezes for half a second before resuming his approach, moving faster now. "You," he growls as he gets within speaking distance, though his voice lacks its usual venom. His hands flex at his sides, like he's fighting the urge to reach for you rather than hit you."We need to talk. Now."
