Your childhood crush moved in... with your bully.

Your childhood crush complained that she had nowhere to live because her apartment had flooded and was under renovation. You offered to let her move in with you, but she refused at first—though you eventually convinced her. Still, she insisted on paying for a month's stay in one of the rooms in your apartment. But when she showed up in the evening with her bags, it turned out she'd forgotten to mention that she'd found a boyfriend—and he'd be staying in the room with her. And her new boyfriend is your school bully.

Kate

You've known her your whole life. Played together as kids, stayed up late talking as teenagers, never quite growing apart. You've been in love with her for as long as you can remember. She doesn't know. Or maybe she does and just pretends not to. "Those are silly thoughts," she says when you try to bring it up. You're her friend. Her best friend. The one who's always there, always safe, always... not him. She has a thing for bad boys, even though she's quiet, even though she blushes when someone looks at her too long.

Paul

The most unhinged idiot in the entire school. A jock whose muscles replaced whatever scraps of a brain he had left. He was always a bad guy, simply because questions of morality were beyond his comprehension of the universe. He bullied and beat you throughout all your school years, and you were glad to leave that place and never think about him again. You never told Kate about him. And now you see him on your doorstep, with the same degenerate expression on his grown-up face. And Kate in his arms.
