Revenge is Sweet By: Boulder Chapters  1-4

Skipping Town Kathryn Merteuil sat in silence stirring the plastic spoon in a repetitive motion inside her polystyrene cup of coffee as she sat at JFK airport awaiting her flight to arrive. Although her eyes betrayed nothing of her inner feelings secretly she was filling up with an undesirable rage, a rage for Sebastian, for Cecile and especially for Sebastian's little bitch�Annette. They had taken everything from her, her friends no longer wanted anything to do with her, her reputation lay in ruins and her family had disowned her. Kathryn let out a small, ironic laugh while shaking her head, she was now only Merteuil in name. At first her mother and stepfather vowed to stick by her through the drug problem and the whole mess, oh how people change, a couple of the students decided to try and make a few bucks by selling the story to one of the New York street magazines, they also gave them Sebastian's journal and the next thing she knew was that her maid was showing her the font page with a picture of her on it and in the center was the two main pages of Sebastian's thoughts on her. Suddenly it was citywide news, now everyone knew and despised her, that was when her family claimed that they no longer wanted nothing to do with her. Merteuil's don't behave in that manner and the image was bad for the family, they gave her fifty thousand dollars and asked her to move out of the house, which wasn't really a request. But with the whole of New York spitting in front of her as she walked the streets and nobody at Manchester talking to her where would she go? And that is why she is sitting in this cramped airport where only the new arrivals acknowledged her and the citizens of the Big Apple would either point and stare or bump into her on purpose. Since the publishing business Kathryn had been attacked three times, the third severely bruising four ribs, that was when she decided that it was time to get out. Everybody in New York may hate her but she had friends elsewhere that also owed her a few favors, unfortunately Annette had also taken the liberty of sending journals over to these people too, it seemed as if Sebastian had this well thought out and intended to try and destroy her completely. However there was still one person he had missed, one person who she hadn't informed him about, hell everyone's got to have an escape route and just like everyone so did she. Kathryn turned the small white card over and over in her left hand as her right continued to cradle her still untouched coffee, taking a glance at the name she mumbled it aloud, "Lionel Rigby," or Riggles as she often called him in a fake sign of affection. Two years ago she helped him attain his position at one of the top schools on the Wet Coast, Riggles was now the headmaster of L.A Bayton. L.A Bayton was a college in which pupils could graduate and instead of going to University just stay there and do new courses, of course this was only for upper classmen and seniors from some of the top schools around the U.S and even some from overseas. Kathryn made a deal with Riggles, she helped him become headmaster by bleaching her hair blonde which was just awful, Kathryn then proceeded to seduce the original headmaster and hire a cameraman to take some photographs of some strange situations. Anyway the guy got fired and Riggles was appointed, her part of the deal was that there would always be a place for her at L.A Bayton and just so he couldn't back out she made him sign a contract that she kept safely. "Flight 117 from New York to Los Angeles is now boarding at gate 4," standing Kathryn picked up her handbag and made her way towards the people who were already milling about, her plan was an ingenious one. First she'd restore her reputation but this time at L.A Bayton, then she would find and tutor a new Sebastian but this time she'd make sure that he wouldn't run away to some prissy little blonde. But however after she had raised him well enough then she would make her big play, Sebastian would pay but since he was dead she'd have to attack the most precious thing to him. Annette. Kathryn handed her passport over before retrieving it and entering the plan, she wrinkled her nose at the sight of�uhh�economy class. Taking a seat next to an old lady Kathryn fell back into deep thought, she knew that she couldn't attack Annette straight away fro two reasons. 1# It was too soon since her stepbrothers death that it would be too obvious, and 2# Annette was still in New York where all the heat was on, she'd have to wait a while and then she'd work her way up through all of her newfound enemies with her new Sebastian at her side she couldn't lose. The game just got one hell of a lot more interesting, round one to Sebastian and her enemies but round two�was going to be a killer.

Making Plans The first thing that hit Kathryn when she stepped off the plane was the unbelievable heat that seemed to hit her like a shockwave, the next thing she noticed was that people were now smiling at her, men were being polite if they bumped into her and women busied themselves in compact mirrors without a care in the world. After picking up her one suitcase she shuddered at what awaited her outside, the man stood leaning on the taxi chewing a piece of gum and reading what looked like a Playboy while to his right hung a cardboard sign that read Jenson on it. She smiled, it seemed as if it had all worked out, "You got the papers?" she demanded walking up to the seedy taxi driver. The man diverted his attention from the magazine and looked Kathryn up and down before smiling, "You got the cash?" Kathryn removed the five grand she'd just taken from her personal account as the man handed her a brown envelope. "Passport, birth certificate and your originally from Washington and not New York," she nodded taking in all of the information, "get in the car." "Why?" "Coz I'm the guy that Mr Rigby sent to pick you up now please get in the car," trying not to breathe through her nose Kathryn sat inside the hot, stuffy taxi as her luggage was bundled into the trunk, the guy slumped into the drivers seat and leaned backwards to talk to her, "next stop L.A Bayton." --------------------------------------- The drive took exactly two hours and it was one of the worst experiences of the beauties young life, she was used to the best, fast cars, smartly dressed men, big houses but her drive had taken her past the worst parts of L.A. Gangs stood on street corners, the driver let her get her own luggage out of the boot just for a chance to check out her ass and the smell of the taxi was nauseating. But finally it was over, Kathryn stood in front of L.A. Bayton and smiled, it was just the same except there were no uniforms and some young adults rather than just all seniors. "Okay Miss if I can just have your name you'll be checked in," a smiling assistant at the registration office asked politely. "Kathryn Merte�uh�Jenson," the assistant looked at her and for a second Kathryn was afraid that she was going to get caught but the woman just turned back to her computer and tapped on the keyboard before turning back to her. "All done, welcome to Los Angeles Bayton." "Thank you," turning Kathryn smiled leaving out into the open air, phase 1 complete now all she had to do was first find some friends, second find a new Sebastian that would help her with her revenge and third�find some heroin, god she needed a hit. --------------------------------------- A month had passed since Kathryn had arrived at L.A Bayton and she'd established quite a following already, unfortunately to do so she'd had to seduce the Quarterback who was the biggest idiot in the world, however he was easily manipulated and all Kathryn had to do was fake an orgasm once a day and he'd be happy. But he was not going to get the job done in any departments that her plan held. Things had not gone well apart from her reputation being on the up, every guy she'd seen had either been not handsome or stupid or gay or a complete wuss, what she needed was a guy with the right look and won't shy away from danger, but who would be that�wait, "Annie," Kathryn turned to her new best friend, "who is that?" Annie's eyes went wide when she saw who Kathryn was looking at, "Kathryn you don't want to speak to that guy, he's a drug dealer," this interested the ex Merteuil, "the police have raided his place three times but each time they found zip." "Really, what's his name?" "Jase Matthews, why do you want to know that loser anyway?" Annie frowned, "are you feeling okay," Kathryn knew that she'd have to tread carefully otherwise her reputation could go down the pan as soon as it's starting to build. "I'm fine, in fact I think I'll just go show this loser what he can't have, what'd you think," Annie seemed to think that she knew what Kathryn was on about and nodded excitedly clapping her hands, "ok you go on and I'll catch up on you." "But Kathryn you just said that�" "Annie, Annie," Kathryn put a hand on her so called friends shoulders quieting her, "don't worry you'll hear all about it later it's just that he may get suspicious with you standing here gawking at us." Annie frowned, "I don't gawk." "I know but I'm just saying, it'll look less suspicious if I go alone, do you understand?" Annie nodded, "good now quickly," Kathryn smiled as Annie moved off and faked a smile as her friend turned to wave. When she was finally out of sight the new Kathryn Jenson walked quietly over to the guy who was busy smoking a cigarette and talking on his mobile phone. As she got closer she saw him hang up and swing at the air in frustration, "Shit," he muttered before noticing that he wasn't alone, "what'd you want." "Hello," she held out her hand, "I'm Kathryn Jenson." He stared at her hand before replying coldly, "Good luck with that but I'm busy so if you don't mind I really have to get goin�" "I here you're a drug dealer," he stopped his exit and faced her, "I need some heroin, can you help me?" Kathryn could almost see the wheels in his head turning as if he was trying to figure out whether or not this young girl was serious, finally he decided to play it safe, "Maybe." "I need enough to supply me throughout the year," feeling confident Kathryn smiled but could tell that he still didn't completely believe that she was serious. "That's a lot of drugs for one person to have, how do you intend to pay?" this had taken Jase by surprise, at first he suspected a police snitch but it seemed to be getting less and less likely, she'd answered all of his questions with that same confident tone and faint smile tugging at her lips. But he still had to tread carefully. "I can't pay you any money," Jase snorted and turned to leave, "but�I can give you what you want," he froze, "I know what you want because I want the exact same thing and we can help each other." "Okay genius what do I want?" he folded his arms and raised his eyebrows awaiting her reply. "You want to be different, you want to show everyone that you could be something if you wanted to but most of all�you want revenge," Kathryn stared into an expressionless face before adding quietly, "and like I said�I can give you all of those things." Damn this girl was good, he'd only known her for about two minutes and she'd read him like a book, "Follow me," Kathryn quickened her pace to keep up with his long strides that took him away and out of L.A Bayton, they remained silent the whole way before coming to a hotel. After a brief ride on the elevator Kathryn followed him into room 109, it wasn't the penthouse suit but it was better than her dorm. "Arms up," Kathryn whirled around in confusion, he was standing directly in front of her making it so the short girl had to crane her neck slightly. "Excuse me?" "I need to check you for wires," he explained simply, "now�arms up." "So this is in no way a secret ploy to feel me up?" his glare told her the answer, "fine," slowly Kathryn raised her arms trying to look as attractive as possible but he didn't seem interested. He started on her legs gripping her thighs and moving his hands roughly so that he could search nearly everywhere on her body, moving up the young Merteuil attempted to keep eye contact with him but he avoided it, she whimpered slightly as he felt around her back and just underneath her breasts, "I can tell you like it rough," he looked at her once before continuing on his search, "good." "Alright that's it," he pulled away, "I don't have time for this." Kathryn tried her best to look innocent, "For what?" she took a step forward, "it's not as if we're doing anything�are we?" "I don't know what you're trying to pull but it's not going to work," it was those words that told Kathryn that she had him, he wasn't as confident as he had been, she now knew that this guy could be controlled and would stay obedient with the proper attention. "What's not going to work," she smiled feeling him shiver as her small hand rested on his chest, "I mean if it's not going to work then what's the point in trying." He looked confused for a second unable to process that phrase in his head, however his thoughts snapped back to reality as Kathryn brought her second arm onto his hip, "What about your boyfriend?" Now Kathryn was impressed, usually if she did this to any man he'd be putty in her hands right about now, focusing her attention back onto his question she smiled slyly, "My boyfriend is nothing but a front, like I said to you we both want the same thing�revenge on those who hurt us the most. My boyfriend is a way to do that, however he is just a pawn in this game, but what I need is a king. Someone who is willing to take any risk at all to get what he wants, and I have a feeling that that person is you. But the question is�do you have the balls for it?" The two just stood there for a few moments before Kathryn was driven back by Jase who had dived into a crushing kiss that Kathryn returned, as he turned his attention to her neck Kathryn smiled evilly before she began to enjoy herself, grabbing his head she brought it back to her lips and jumped up scissoring her legs around his waist as he backpedaled until his legs crashed into the bed sending them both falling onto it. "Let's see�oh�if you can�god�get the job done," pushing him back she unbuttoned her blouse before leaning back down as he started to rail kisses over her throat. Kathryn groaned in pleasure while smiling, phase 2, complete.

Rules are Rules Kathryn lay smiling in Jases bed, at least he could get the job done where Alex Rills couldn't plus she had her man, now all she had to do was make him into what Sebastian was before that bitch Annette got a hold of him. "What are you so happy about," he asked leaning over her shoulder and laying feather kisses over her neck. Kathryn groaned and was just about to jump his bones for the third time when she remembered that she had work to do, "Down boy," she scolded softly while pulling herself into a sitting position, "we have to figure out what we have to do." He frowned, "You mean talk?" Kathryn nodded, "ok�what about." "Oh you are so young and inexperienced at this sort of business aren't you," he was about to protest but she stopped him, "not in that way, if you want to hang around with me and if we are going to work together then we have to find a way to make it look like we've known each other for a long time." "You could say I'm your distant cousin," he offered. "Good idea, so if Alex asks then you're my distant cousin, your parents are�?" "Dead," he finished, "they were on a plane that went down two years back," there was an uncomfortable silence, "so what do you mean by telling Alex�you're still dating that idiot?" "I have to, Alex is one of the most popular guys in school and that's the reputation that you are going to need," Jase rolled his eyes, "do you know what that entails? It means you have to dress differently, stop the drug dealing and find some friends who are high up on the popularity chain," Kathryn finished. "Your kidding right?" her face said it all, "your not kidding," she gave him the glare and shook her head, "well I'm sorry but I can't give up the drug dealing it's my only source of income and are you seriously asking me to become a pretty boy?" "You better not become a pretty boy, people are scared of you at the moment but you can be intimidating in a different way," he cocked an eyebrow, "you need information on people, things that you want to know that they don't want you to know. But we can come back to that later, as for the drug thing�I can sort you for cash throughout the rest of the college until we�" "NO," he stated firmly, "I am not stopping�what are you doing," he watched as Kathryn moved slowly until she was kissing her way around his chest slowly, "this isn't going to work on me," he was lying and Kathryn knew it as she could feel his growing erection against her wrist. "Please," she pleaded putting on her best puppy dog face, he shook his head that is until she moved her hand downwards under the sheets and slipped it into his boxers. "Oh god," he groaned. Sitting up on her knees Kathryn caressed him gently with her face inches away from his lips, "I can show you things that you've never dreamed of but you have to trust me, if you want your revenge on someone then you have to find out what they don't want you to know and exploit it," he was very distracted at the moment as his breathing got heavier, "I know you can do it and you don't have to quit the drug game, just�get someone to run it for you then if the police ever do catch you then you can deny all�knowledge," he whimpered in response as she stopped, "do we have a deal?" "Don't stop," he looked at her but she just raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Agree to it and I'll give you something even better," she whispered, "come on if you do this then you can try out for the football team, it'll be even better if you make it because you'll have jumped about five spaces up, come on, for me?" Jase couldn't take it any more, "Alright," groaned, "you win I'll get someone to run it for me." "Good boy Jason," she stroked the side of his face, "because rules are rules," with those words she kissed him once on the lips before pulling back and lowering her head downwards.

Looking Good "I feel like an idiot," Jase muttered looking at himself in the mirror, he wasn't used to seeing his 6,4 athletic frame in a suit. "You look good," Kathryn brushed a bit of fluff off of his jacket, after she'd finished going down on Jase Kathryn had brought him to one of the poshest stores in L.A and was just finishing off his wardrobe, "trust me," the young beauty then turned to the tailor, "he'll take it," handing him over a credit card Kathryn returned her attention to Jase who was examining himself from every angle, he did look good, but still felt stupid, "don't worry," encircling her arm into his she smiled at what the mirror showed her, they looked good together. "Where the hell am I going to where this?" he asked. "To parties," she replied slowly, he frowned, "you've never been to a party?" "Yeah," he replied, "I've been to parties but I haven't ever worn anything like this to one, do you think it'll work?" "I know it will," Kathryn smiled, "people have to believe that you're now a productive member of the school and not the drug dealer to be afraid of, by the way football season starts in a week so training is in three days, I want you to go," she could tell he didn't approve, "like I said if you join the football team it'll be�" "A lot easier to make it seem like I've changed," he finished, "I remember." "Good," Kathryn noticed that the tailor was returning with the form for her to sign. "Here you are miss," as the young woman signed the form he took a moment to look at what he saw, when the young lady had first entered with this man half of the customers had left the store. His dark jacket, white shirt and dark jeans completed his look as he also had short black hair and brown eyes, the lady had explained that she wanted him to look sophisticated and so they'd gotten to work. And now in total they'd bought seven shirts, four pairs of trousers, two pairs of shoes, three ties and this tailor made suit. "Hello," the daze that the tailor was in seemed to break as he jumped in surprise as Kathryn stood staring at him as if he was weird, "I'm finished, just pack the bags and we'll be ready to leave," turning to Jase she smiled, "you can change back now," nodding he entered the changing room and a few minutes later returned. "What now?" "Now�I teach you how to act and how to speak and most importantly�how to seduce," he smiled before following her, "no offense but you have to earn a certain amount of�" "What are you staring at?" he growled to a pretty wealthy looking woman who quickly averted her attention. "Finesse," she finished, shaking her head with a smile Kathryn handed each bag over to Jase, "come along Jason we have a lot to do." "Well�you could carry some of the bags you know," he muttered while stumbling out of the doors and into the high street. Kathryn wore an amused smile as she turned to address him, "Lesson the first, the man always carries the bags and�" she stopped in front of his car, it was impressive but he'd need a new one. "Let me guess," he interrupted, stumbling forward he managed to grasp the door handle and yank it open, "hold a door open for a lady." Raising her eyebrows Kathryn lowered herself into the seat, "Well done, you are a quick learner," she heard a shuffling sound as he unloaded the bags into the boot before opening the opposite door and slumping in next to her, "now back to your place to drop this stuff off and your training begins straight away." "Sounds like fun," he muttered sarcastically, "hey I thought ladies never hit people," he smiled after Kathryn swatted him over the head. "Only when no ones looking," she corrected, "now come on I'm meeting Alex in two hours," seeing him roll his eyes she rubbed his arm gently, "don't worry, remember it's just business." "I know," starting the engine he turned to her, "well, I know one thing, this is sure as hell going to be interesting," Kathryn nodded before he pulled away heading for the hotel. --------------------------------------- The ex Merteuil was impressed, Jase had picked up Kathryn's lessons faster than she'd expected, hell Alex had even had to have sex with himself that night since she'd tried to teach Jase everything she could. Finally after two solid days of rehearsing Kathryn was ready to release the new Jase into the big wide world. Alex had been suspicious about the story about Jase being her distant cousin but everyone else had accepted it with little consequence, nobody would even question her, the idea of Kathryn Jenson lying was not something students thought about. Smiling Kathryn stood on the sidelines to the football field watching the team train, her excuse was that she wanted to watch Alex train but really she was watching her student intently. Jason had surprised everyone especially the coach who never knew he had so much natural talent, now Jase was ensured a place at wide receiver and everyone was impressed. Except Alex, he was obviously jealous of something and so had been overthrowing balls or throwing them too hard so that Jase wouldn't have a chance to catch them. Finally though Jase got fed up, "What the hell's your problem?" he yelled at the Quarterback, "I was wide open and you go for a covered receiver?" "Oh no," quickly Kathryn walked onto the field making her way towards her boyfriend and her student. "I don't know what you're talking about?" Alex smirked in front of Jase who shoved the Quarterback who shove back. "Hey, hey," jumping in the way before the minor scuffle could escalate any further Kathryn turned to Alex, leaning up she whispered into his ear, "let me talk to him baby, we are family�perhaps he'll listen to me." Alex smiled, "Ok," he then turned back to the football team clapping his hands, "alright guys let's get moving." Kathryn proceeded to lead Jase into the changing rooms before turning to face him her eyes alight with fury, "What are you doing?" she demanded both hands placed firmly on her hips, "are you trying to blow this for us?" Jase yanked off his helmet equally angry, "Oh come on, he's taking the piss out of me, I swear if he does it one more time then I'm going to�" "Do nothing," Kathryn ground out, "we are inches away from completing our task and you're going to blow it over him," taking a step back she composed herself while Jase looked on, "I'm not saying it's alright what he's doing but bide you're time," grabbing him by the jersey Kathryn pulled him down into a deep kiss before releasing him, "now go win that spot." "One more thing," Jase pushed his helmet back on, "my enemies�" Kathryn nodded, "your boyfriend just made the hit list." "Don't worry, when we're ready he's going to get what's coming to him, now Jason go out there and play," nodding Jase left the locker room as the now Jenson made a quick check in the mirror she brushed her upper lip slightly cleaning the smudge of lipstick, "show time," walking back out into the open air she retook her place on the sidelines before yelling in fake enthusiasm, "GO ALEX," unfortunately for her hapless boyfriend he was distracted and turned to her therefore not seeing the blitz and having his ass planted into the ground. "Sorry honey," sitting back down the beauty reveled in the L.A sun before taking a look back onto the field, oh yes he was definitely going to get something a lot worse than being sacked, she was going to make sure he's have something to remember her by.
