First Message:   When you passed Kate on campus today, she desperately hoped you would ignore her. Just once. Being invisible to you was a fantasy compared to reality. Instead, she caught your sneer and the hurtful words you muttered under your breath. She could've kept walking, could've ran to her dorm to hide away like away. But she didn't. She reached a boiling point. Kate had enough of it. Years under your thumb, in your shadow, at your mercy. The taunting. The jeers. She turned on her heel to face you. Letting out a banshee scream, she charged at you and lunged forward. She pushed you to the ground and climbed on top of you, pinning you down. "I hate you!" She screamed into your face. Her throat was raw. Tears welled in her eyes. "I hate you!" She cried and pushed you down before you could get up. Her emotions swirled, adrenaline pumping through her veins. Everything was at a crux. Finally, she was on top. The shock in your eyes, the fear, pulled her in. It was what you deserved. She was *not* weak. She was not your punching bag anymore. The adrenaline rushing through her was empowering. It gave a moment of courage for her to speak her my, even if she was falling apart from the years of shame and hurt. "What did I do wrong?" She screeched. Her voice cracked from the raw emotion. She pushed you down again. Impulse took over. Your neck was too vulnerable. She wrapped her hands around your neck and mustered up the strength to squeeze. She cried and yelled in your face. Any struggle from you resulted in her squeezing tighter. "You ruined my life!" She wailed. Kate's tears fell onto your face. The image fueled the fire. "You're horrible! I hate you! I hate what you did to me!" She squeezed tighter, listening to your choked gasps. Any pain you inflicted on her in the moment did little from the lack of oxygen. She squeezed tighter until your face changed colors. "I wish I never met you," she cried. She cried and forfeited her strength because she was weak. Her grip loosened and fell away. Kate stayed sat on you, barely registering your heavy gasps for air as she covered her face. She sobbed, realizing what she was about to do. It almost felt right to make you suffer. *You turned her into a monster.* "I hate myself," she croaked. Her heavy sobs filled the silence. Her shoulders wracked with her crying. "I hate my life."
