A little scene from chapter 13

Chapters 13-14 will focus on the attempts of Caroline to change back. There are generally two routes - the first is against Robert, and the second one is against David. There's a little scene that will happen if Pauline doesn't join the humiliating of Robert.  

***

Robert was a total mess. Since Olivier had replaced him in the team, he became almost invisible. Just a miserable shadow of a jock he was just one month ago.

It was a warm day. You sat on the bench during the break. When he was coming towards you, you had the urge to leave, but you stopped yourself. Robert wasn't dangerous anymore.

"Hi," he said quietly. "Do you mind if I join you for a moment?"

You raised one eyebrow. He sat anyway and sighed deeply.

"I need your help, Paul."

You snorted.

"And I won't tell you to fuck off, because...?"

"Because I want you to take place of Carl. I will become a chick, and you will change back into a guy."

Ok, he got your attention. His hands were shivering.

"He forces me to do... humiliating things," Robert confessed. He winced. "He teases me. He won already, but yet he still wants me to feel like shit. And I want to change into a girl to have some peace. I... I barely handle it. And you were always kind to me, Paul. I thought it was your weakness, but..."

He cleared his throat.

"And Olivier knows the ritual, doesn't he? We could perform it without Carl. He doesn't deserve to have balls again. He... He doesn't know when to stop."

You still didn't answer. You felt compassion right now, but you were more than aware that Robert was driven by desperation and urges. He didn't change, he just lost. And looking at his wet eyes and trembling mouth you kept thinking, how he would react if he fulfilled his plans about you. You hated him. You could rationalize it, you could persuade yourself that you shouldn't feel that way.

On the other hand... He was right. It could be your ticket out...
