The Spit Hits the Fan

The next day my inbox was packed with lewd emails thanks to Tony Le Blanc and Tommy. Despite the virus, a whole group of boys, and maybe girls, had already copied and pasted pictures before Brianna booby-trapped the web page, so my new career as a porn star was still partially active. How did these students even get my email? Amber Lynne probably had access to her mom's files and gave it to Tony. Desperate to get out of the apartment, I picked up my laptop and went to a coffee shop/bakery/bookstore down the street.

Where we lived was a total mash-up of commercial and residential and I liked that a lot. On the way to the bookstore, I passed the local stray cat that seemed to live in a little parking lot on the corner between our apartment and the station. I nicknamed it Siphy Cat, short for Syphilis Cat, because it looked like it was in the last stages of some horrible disease. Brianna and Isobel agreed it was the perfect name for the beast after I emailed them some pictures. The thing had to be both the biggest and ugliest cat in the world. I didn't know if it was a he, she or an it. Patches of fur were gone, it was scarred and bitten and had only one ear. The animal gave the funniest little yodel-like meow that – despite its enormous size and awful appearance – endeared it to everyone in the neighborhood. People were always leaving bits of fish in different corners of the lot for the cat. I picked up a little piece of grilled chicken from the fridge and dropped it off for Siphy Cat as I headed to the coffee house. There, I comforted myself with fresh croissants and cafe mocha and did my homework.

Meanwhile at school, the spit hit the fan.

My father brought along his company's six hundred dollar-an-hour lawyer plus the information on the source of the site and who had signed up for it, cleverly supplied by Brianna. The boys were called in. When confronted with the evidence, they each accused the other of starting it.

With the URL from Gemma, I followed the whole story via gossip relayed fast and furiously over Cougar Snarls. According to the postings, the porn site would be taken down and an apology issued in the school newspaper to me admitting the pictures had been doctored. Tony Le Blanc received a three-day suspension from Mrs. McCarthy, conveniently timed to start on Monday so he wouldn't miss today's big game of the semi-finals against ITA arch rival, St. Xavier's. The basketball coach, however, over-ruled that, imposing his own punishment. Despite Mrs. McCarthy's vociferous objection, Tony would sit out the game.

“I will not have my players acting like they are God's gift to mankind.” He was quoted as saying. “You cannot humiliate people with impunity, not like this, not on my team. The reason there is no 'i' in team
