Uniformed and Forsake
Part 1

Alex and Liam had been friends. Liam was the kind of person who could command a room with his presence, effortlessly weaving charisma and charm. Liam, quieter and more reserved, had always looked up to Alex believing that their friendship was a true bond. But recently, their interactions had become increasingly uncomfortable, and Liam’s unease had grown.

After school, Alex suggested they meet in the old history classroom, a place that had long been forgotten by most of the school. Liam, eager to maintain their friendship, agreed, hoping to rekindle the closeness they once shared.

The classroom was dusty and filled with the musty smell of neglected textbooks. As they entered, Alex’s demeanor seemed off, a flicker of something unsettling in his usually warm eyes. He motioned for Liam to sit at one of the old wooden desks.

“What’s up, Alex?” Liam asked, trying to mask his nervousness.

Alex's smile was too wide, his eyes too sharp. “Just thought we could have some fun. Remember how you always said you’d do anything for me?”

Liam nodded slowly, unease tightening in his chest. “Yeah, I remember.”

Without warning, Alex pulled out a coil of rope from his bag. Liam’s heart sank as he realized what was about to happen. “Alex, what are you doing?”

Alex's expression hardened, the friendly façade dropping away. “Just testing how much you care. I want to see if you can handle a little game.”

Before Liam could react, Liam was on him, deftly tying Liam’s wrists together with the rope. Liam struggled, his breaths coming in short, panicked gasps, but Alex's grip was unyielding. The ropes were tight, biting into Alex’s skin.
Alex's smile turned cruel as he stepped back, taking in Liam’s bound form. “Look at you, all dressed up in your uniform. It’s like you’re just waiting to be the joke of the day.”

Liam’s face flushed with a mix of fear and humiliation. “Alex, stop this. Please, let me go.”

Alex’s laughter echoed through the empty classroom. “Oh, it’s just a bit of fun. Besides, you’re the one who always follows me around. Maybe this will teach you a lesson.”

The teasing continued as Alex mockingly adjusted Liam’s white uniform collar and pulled at his tie, further emphasizing Liam’s helplessness. His taunts grew more biting, each word designed to degrade and humiliate. “You thought you were special? Look at you now—just another tied-up loser in a uniform.”

Liam’s face burned with shame. The classroom, once a place of learning, now felt like a cage of his own making. Alex’s cruel jokes were a constant reminder of the betrayal he felt, each one stripping away the layers of his dignity.

Alex’s amusement was short-lived. With a final smirk, he left the classroom, leaving Liam alone and bound. The door clicked shut, and the room fell into a heavy silence. Liam was left with nothing but the sound of his ragged breaths and the crushing weight of humiliation.

Minutes turned into hours as Liam struggled against the ropes, his attempts to free himself proving futile. The once-boring classroom was now a prison, each creak of the floor and the distant murmur of students outside amplifying his sense of isolation.
