"You have got to be joking! That is so rank! No way I'm doing that! No!"
Yet as Louise Laing spat the words out in the middle of the street she knew that she would. She knew that the pull Leona had over her was too strong now for her to refuse. Knew that if she were to refuse the little bitch would publish those damn photographs of her or worse still kick off a re-run of the fight the two of them had behind the bike sheds which Leona won so comprehensively. And ever since then it had seemed a lot easier to do what Leona told her to rather than argue.
Louise's face contorted into an unhappy pout, ruining her stunning good looks briefly and bringing an even bigger smirk to Leona Millar's face as she did. She liked it when Louise whined and moaned and complained, it made it all the more sweet when she eventually realised how futile it was and did what she was told. She had the bitch well trained by now, nicely under the thumb and was enjoying it immensely. All those times that Louise, one of the prettiest and well liked, girls in school (indeed the Head Girl) had flounced past like she owned the world and was going to be a big shot flooded through Leona's twisted memories and brought even more conviction that what she was doing now was only proper and correct. A fitting sentence indeed, making her wear the tiniest of skirts to school and never allowing her to wear panties, telling her what obscene graffiti to write on the walls of the building, having her flirt with anyone that took Leona's fancy, all great fun. Yes these last few months at school had been a revelation and both girls, each past 18 and ready to enter the real world soon enough were having the times of their lives (one the best, one the worst).
Today, a hot Wednesday afternoon, the pair of them were standing in a side street in town, directly across from a small newsagents. School was done for the day and Leona had insisted Louise walk with her into town, to what purpose she would not tell. It was hardly an unusual occurrence since her capitulation in the catfight. Only once they were standing across from the paper shop did Leona reveal what she wanted done this time, and as usual it was deliciously kinky.
"See that shop over there? Its run by Mr. Singh, you know Shilpa, his daughter was in our year until she left to go work in it full time. I doubt you would remember her though, she wasn't in you circle of friends; I seem to recall her having a right bitch to me about you last year. She was extremely jealous of your good looks, I think she secretly fancied you. That lot can be mighty strange if you ask me. Anyway, that's not the point is it? No. What I want you to do is go over to that cash machine, take out $20 and then go shopping in the shop for a few magazines. Three to be precise, I'll give you the titles. " Young Asian Pussies", "Amateur Anal Sluts" and "Asian Amateurs".
That was the instruction that brought about Louise's initially forceful rejection at the start of this story.
"No I'm not doing that Leona."
But all it took was Leona's firm hand on her elbow and a severe look from her cloudy green eyes to convince Louise that however bad, however humiliating buying those porn magazines would be, it paled in comparison to what would happen if she were not to do it. So dropping her resistance the pretty blonde shrugged her half hearted acceptance and headed to the cash point -- it would even be her own money that would buy them.
So it was that with a heavy heart and blushing bright red face that Louise followed Leona into the shop (the smaller girl would ignore her and make sure that her commands were minutely followed) some two minutes after Leona had entered. Leona was merrily deciding over which mixture of sweets she was going to be scooping into her paper bag that was in a low first aisle and granted her a perfect view of the long, high magazine rack that dominated the right side of the narrow shop. Shilpa, meanwhile was behind a messy looking counter, adding something up on a piece of paper, other than them the shop was empty. Innocently, Leona looked up as the shrill ring of a bell indicated the opening of the door and Louise's entry.
Louise entered the newsagents rather sheepishly, looking for all the world that she would rather be anywhere else in the world at that moment. Shilpa looked up from behind the desk and was surprised to see Louise Laing in the shop, she had not seen her in this part of town before, she remembered her from her school days and didn't know quite how to feel about her. Louise kept her head down and refused to make eye contact with either of the two other people in the shop and somewhat shuffled over to look at the magazine rack. Damn, it was high, she would have to really crane her neck up to see the necessary titles on the top shelf. There would be no easy way of doing it without it being obvious what she was doing. Worse still, she doubted that she could quite reach them, it would certainly be some stretch.
A few stolen glances while also feigning interest in some music magazines allowed Louise to spot all three titles, they were pretty much next to each other. With Shilpa apparently more interested now in the papers on the desk before her Louise determined that she should go for it and stretched her strong right arm to it's fullest extension for the first magazine -- and came agonizingly short in her reach. She stumbled forward a little and bumped into the rack, movement and noise that brought Shilpa out from behind her desk. The Asian girl did not let on that she recognised her former classmate but instead asked politely.
"Can I help? I will use these steps to get any titles you cannot reach."
Louise looked around like a trapped rabbit, Leona just smiled and nodded at her. Gulping down her embarrassment she addressed Shilpa without making any eye contact.
"Em.. Yeah. Um... I want to buy some magazines."
"Certainly, you tell me which ones and I will get them for you."
Shilpa scaled the squat wooden steps and for the first time in her life looked down on Louise, she also got a good view down the front of Louise's blouse, but tried not to stare. Louise was acutely aware of how embarrassing this was, how could she stand her before this girl and tell her that she wanted to buy these highly explicit porno magazines? She couldn't. But then she thought of Leona and before she knew what she was doing she was speaking.
"Em., that one -- Young Asian Pussies."
Shilpa nearly fell off her steps, she had not known what magazine Louise had wanted, thought maybe it was one of the hobbyist one her father kept just along from the filth that the weird old men bought, but it hadn't been this. Was it a wind up? But no Louise seemed serious. No wonder she hadn't been able to meet her stare on entry! Suddenly she felt so superior to Louise, how could she ever have had a crush on her or been envious of her? She gripped the magazine and contemptuously handing it down and began to descend when Louise spoke again.
"And, erm, that one as well, next to it."
""What Anal Asians?!" her voice dripped with disbelief and contempt and it crushed Louise to reply in the affirmative.
"Yes. And that one just along as well please, yes that one."
Seconds later and Louise had all three magazines in her hand and was standing at the cash till as her former classmate rang them up. Shilpa was really quite dismissive of her as she barked out the price and Louise fumbled in her purse for the cash she had just taken out. She also, in a weak, timid voice asked for a bag for her purchases.
"OK, like a brown paper bag, that's what most of the people who buy those magazines like!"
Louise fairly ran from the shop, still Shilpa thought, as she left, who'd have thought that Louise Laing would be into Asian babes!
She hadn't even noticed that Leona had left with out paying.

The next day. English class. Mr. Binnie was taking his annoyance out on Leona yet again. The rest of the class rolled their eyes, could these two ever get on? It was the same every class the girl would find some reason to niggle the teacher and he would make some caustic, criticising point back, it was a pain. Louise ignored it and kept her head down, it was one of the few classes she shared with Leona and guessed that this was part of the reason Leona held such a grudge against her at the moment, because Mr. Binnie was always pleasant and pleased with her work. She couldn't help it if she was good at English. Bad news though, as it was time to hand back results of a preliminary test they had been doing and he took great pleasure in leaving Leona to last and letting everyone know she was bottom of the class, on this occasion a failure (aided in no small measure by the fact he had marked everything he could find down on the test).
She stewed for the rest of the hour, not saying a word and staring daggers at both Binnie and Louise, until by the end the first inklings of a cunning plan were taking root in her mind. She skulked off that night to let her think through the scheme and was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even bother Louise that evening, allowing the tall blonde a rare break. But any thoughts she might have had that Leona was tiring of tormenting her were quickly vanished the next day as Louise was summoned to a meeting in their usual cubicle in the girls' toilets on the first floor. This time as she laid out her plan to an increasingly disbelieving Louise, Leona had no mockery in her voice, no playfulness, just malice and anger.
"It's simple bitch! Understand, I want that bastard Binnie! I want him where he has to crawl to me, beg me not to finish him, OK?"
Louise nodded, wondering where this was leading and trying not to upset her.
