After I said this, the light in Tina's eyes dimmed, and though her lips trembled with anger, she couldn't say a word.

Without her help, I might actually have an easier path.

When I returned to school, I ran into Chase Rowe. As soon as he saw me, his face darkened with anger.

I could guess that my roommates had told him I was bullying Tina.

Sure enough, he approached me with a cold expression and said, "Can't you have some dignity? Didn't your sugar daddy buy you a bag? Why are you bothering our Tina? You really disgust me!"

His words made my vision go black with rage.
