BONUS CHAPTER

Dylan

"And now it's time for body rating," Candice announced.

All the guys hooted with laughter and started howling like a bunch of jackasses because that's all they were. Dylan was so out of it. He didn't want to be here anymore. He should have been out there with Leah, away from these fake fucks, but that was an impossibility. God, he was
such a fuck up.

Someone passed him a red solo cup that was filled with more booze but he pushed it way. He already had more booze than he should've had. His head was swimming with blurred thoughts and Candice was so fucking annoying with her small voice
going on and on.

"Let's bring in the pledge," Candice said.

One of the other sorority girls opened up the door and in came a girl with short dark hair. She looked terrified and Dylan felt
sick to his stomach for her. Obviously, she wanted to join the cruellest sorority. She was short and had that baby fat that some people never grew out of, but there wasn't anything wrong with her.

Dylan couldn't wrap his head around why
these people wanted to join these things when they were tasked to do shit that was
so fucked up. If you looked good then you got in easily, but if you knew you had issues and were an easy target you'd go through hell. That's just the way it went.

"Abigail is our first pledge." Candice pushed her into the middle of the room.

"C'mon show some skin!" someone shouted.

The guys started whistling and began chanting for Abigail to take off her clothes and that's what she did. Dylan looked away as she dropped her jeans and her t-shirt onto the floor.

This is fucked up. He just couldn't look at
Abigail. What if it had been Leah standing there? He couldn't do it, but he also didn't do anything about it. He was such a dick.

He closed his eyes as the insults began:

"Fat!"

"Now we know why McDonald's is always out of stock for Big Macs!"

"Look at that flabby ass!"

Not even a hobo would hit that!"

"Ewe! Ever heard of obesity?"

"Uh oh, someone's been borrowing grandma's bra and panties!"

"Dude, she's bigger than your mom!"

"It's your turn, Heath."

Dylan looked up to see Ryan Cochran staring at him. He was the biggest dick on campus and also thought of himself as the Alpha of the frat house (whatever the fuck that was supposed to mean) just because his father was the part founder of the college. Dylan hated his guts.

"What?" Dylan asked.

"I said it's your turn," Ryan said.

"Nah, I'm good thanks."

Ryan stood up. "Are you saying no to me?"

"Yeah, I did."

"I said it's your turn, Heath."

Dylan stood up and shoved his hands into his jeans pockets. "Wow, Ry, how long exactly does your brain take to register when no is no?"

Ryan's nostrils flared. "Do it or you'll be part of the next hell night and it's not a
threat it's a promise."

Dylan knew all about promises. He'd seen what Ryan had done to Miles Danvers last semester. Last semester, Miles didn't want to take part in making the pledges do random shit for the frat house anymore, so Ryan wanted to teach him a lesson. He had the pool on campus filled with ice that his dad had arranged for him and Dylan was there when Ryan pushed Miles into the freezing water and ice. He was also there when Miles had to be rushed to the emergency room a few hours later for hypothermia.

"Stop being such a wuss," Candice put in.

Dylan looked at Abigail. Her large brown eyes were filled tears.

 Fuck. He was pathetic.

"You're fat. Lose some weight," he said to her, before stalking out of the room. 

Great. Now he had a hand in making another person feel horrible about themselves.

As he stepped out into the hallway. He heard the rest of the group continue with their taunting. He stopped for a second and put his head on the wall, before punching it over and over again. He needed to get out and he needed to do it fast. But he was in so much of shit, Ryan would never let him.

A/N

Hey! I know Dylan is a major D*ck! But this is what peer pressure is. This is the reality of bullying. And it is sickening.
