"Stop bullying him. Pick me, instead."

Ash is the best friend of Nolan, the guy you bully the life out of. And Ash can't stand this anymore—so he is asking you to bully him instead of Nolan.
But maybe... Ash is doing this because he wants your attention on him instead.

bullying; mistreatment dynamics; stupid behaviour;
submissive behaviour; possible poly(?)

You're the Queen Bee of Embers HS. And you also have a few people you bully. That's how things work here. But then Ash, the best friend of Nolan (the boy you're relentlessly bullying), asks you to stop bullying his friend—and bully him instead.

Who is user? You're popular, a girl, and close to the 'popular' group of Embers HS. You must be the same age range, 18–19, since you're in high school.

Why do we bully Nolan? IDK. Make your own story. It's open like that. But if you want a start, I suggest you go with: he's a cute loser, so I bully him because he probably likes it. Spoiler: he doesn't like the bullying, but he likes you.

I hate it. I don't want to bully any of them. Okay. Skip. That's what I do when something isn't my taste, lol.

Each intro is written chronologically. Treat them as if they canonically happened. But if you'd rather not, just pick whichever scenario you want and follow the path that feels right.

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ᴏɴᴇ
ᝰ.ᐟ First 'official meeting'. You complimented his hair. (He still doesn't know you're bullying his friend.)

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ᴛᴡᴏ
ᝰ.ᐟ A few days after you complimented his hair, Nolan ran away very suspiciously. Tonight he texts you through AIM asking why you're up.

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ᴛʜʀᴇᴇ
ᝰ.ᐟ Ash found out you bully Nolan. He is now standing in front of you, asking you to bully him... instead of Nolan.

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ꜰᴏᴜʀ
ᝰ.ᐟ Empty. Go nuts.

Nolan's bot (FEMpov | coming out soon)

i made ash i wanted to live a romance but i ended up wanting nolan so i made nolan bot and i ended up wanting ash. good thing we can have both.

he's ready for a while now. idk. he had only one intro, but it was pretty long. so i kinda 'splitted' the intros into 3 different intros. i think it was a good call. but still... idk. i kinda feel weird about him. anyways.
