All characters in this story are 18.
Liam, 18, walked towards his mother Elaine's idling car when Alex, 18, a jock type, ran around him to knock his books out of his hands. This had become an everyday occurrence.
"Oops, my bad," Alex chuckled.
"Hey, I have had just about enough of your nonsense!" Elaine shouted, putting her car in park. Alex took off running while Elaine fumbled with her phone, "Hello, this is Liam's mom again. This kid is continuing to bully my son. I need the principal to call me back pronto!" leaving yet another message for the school's receptionist.
Elaine, a 44-year-old mother of 2, is willing to do anything for her kids and has and will go full "Karen" on anyone who messes with her babies. She's talked to schoolteachers, receptionists, and councilors who all tell her the same thing, "It will be taken care of," but the bullying always continues. Elaine, a former college soccer player, had always had a decent figure, however her love for baking, sweet tooth and former baby weight had found herself with more weight than her college days. Don't get her wrong, she is still a frequent gym goer, but she has become more thick than thin in her recent years.
"Did the principal get back to you?" Gary, Elaine's husband, and father of the twins asked during supper that night.
"He did. Guess what he told me? It will be taken care of. I will believe it when I see it," Elaine responded.
"I thought you and Alex used to be friends. He used to be a cool kid back in the day," Natalie, 18, Liam's twin sister added.
"We... we did," Liam acknowledged with his stutter he had recently developed from the bullying.
"You know, have you ever stood up for yourself? You do that and these bullies won't find it fun to mess with you anymore," Gary advised.
The following day like clockwork Elaine waited in her idling car to pick up Liam from school. Elaine's gaze sharpened as she noticed now two boys bullying Liam today. Alex and another jock type looking kid walked on each side of her son egging him on. Suddenly Liam pushed the new bully, who she would find out later was named Jonny, taking his father's advice of standing up for himself. However, Jonny reacted by cocking his arm back and swinging towards her son. His fist connected with Liam causing him to fall to the floor.
"That's it!" Elaine yelled practically jumping from the car, "This is bullshit this has gone too far!" Jonny was quick to run off, but Elaine was able to grab Alex by the arm.
"Hey, I'm not the one who punched him!" Alex shouted.
"What do I have to do! What do I have to do to make this bullshit stop?" she screamed at Alex. Letting go of Alex she turned her attention back to her son, "Let's get you home and get some ice on that baby." Walking her son back to her car Liam tried to hide his tears.
That night she sat with a well needed glass of wine and her iPad sending a very lengthy email to the school principal when a red Facebook message notification popped up in the upper right hand side of her screen - it was from Alex.
Curiously, she clicked on it.
Alex: Hey I was thinking about what you said earlier about how to get me to stop bullying your son.
"Was this a trick," Elaine thought to herself.
Elaine responded: Go on.
Alex: Send some nudes and maybe we can work something out.
Elaine: Consider yourself blocked.
Alex: I'll go first.
Before Elaine could hit the block option a flattering mirror selfie photo of Alex holding his cock was uploaded into their message stream. "That's not real," Elaine scuffled to herself as the size of his penis looked enormous.
Alex: Bet I'm bigger than your husband.
Elaine: Don't you know no girl likes unsolicited dick pics, loser. Especially photoshopped ones.
Alex: LOL if you think it's photoshopped then I'm for sure bigger than your man's. Alright nudes aren't enough anymore. Since I'm bigger how about you cuck this dick and I'll stop bullying your son.
Elaine: You're a psycho. The only thing you're bigger at than my husband at is being a jerk.
Elaine smiled thinking her silly comeback was masterful before clicking the block option on Alex. Taking in the rest of her wine glass she walked down the hallway towards her kitchen when the sound of crying caught her attention.
Peeking into Liam's room her heart sank with the view of her son with his face down on his bed pillow bawling his eyes out.
"Oh baby," practically crying herself.
"Mom, I just need some alone time!" Liam distancing himself.
Elaine walked out of the room feeling sick to her stomach seeing her son like this. She thought about Alex's proposition, "You wouldn't really do that," she thought to herself. Though seeing her son falling apart her motherly instincts were kicking in. She tossed and turned all night thinking about her son.
"Do you think you would be able to pick up Liam today from school?" Elaine asked her husband the next morning who was sitting in the adjacent room watching tv as she vigorously scrubbed the dishes over the kitchen sink.
"Yeah, I think I can manage, what do you have going on?" Gary asked.
"Just a meeting I have the feeling that's going to run late," Elaine responded.
"Yeah, sure I can manage to pick him up," Gary nonchalantly agreed.
After work Elaine stalked the parking lot waiting for the football teams practice to end. She saw her opening when Alex broke away from the rest of his teammates as he walked over to his car. She drove up parking next to his vehicle.
Alex let out a big sigh, before walking over to the driver's side window, "What now? You come to yell at me some more?"
Elaine's knuckles were white from gripping her steering wheel so tight. One hand managed to let loose her grip to roll down her window. Her hand shook nervously as she handed Alex an envelope.
