and moving far, far away. But you jumped the gun, didn’t you? Got a little scared. Thought you could bribe Cadee. And that almost worked. If I had just. Done. My job. She’d have been your quiet little minion.”
“What are you doing?” He says this with a straight face too. Like… wow. The balls on this man. They are bull-sized.
“What am I doing?” I laugh so loud, he looks over his shoulder to see if any of his cronies heard me. “I’m threatening you.” I take a few steps forward and lean in to his face. “If you come near me, or any of the missing pledges, or any of the people who are now part of my new on-campus society—all that hush money you spent will be for nothing. Because your secrets—all those secrets—will go out into the world and finally everyone will know who and what you really are.”
I say it like I’ve been practicing this speech and waiting for this day since my mother died when I was five.
Dane wasn’t the only secret in those boxes.
That place was my father’s vault.
We now have dirt on all of them.
I leave that last part unsaid. He knows what I found.
“I wish I could say it was nice knowing you, Dad. But the truth is the last twenty-one years were practically unbearable. You make me tired. And I’m done dealing with you.”
I spit his own words right back at him.
And I even give it a little time to sink in.
Then I slide my sunglasses down over my eyes like I’m some hotshot with power, and walk off into the sunset.
Cadee, Ax, and Lars are waiting for me in our new piece-of-shit Camaro on the blacktop road in front of my family mansion. I walk around to the passenger side and get in, then smile at Ax and say, “It’s done.”
He nods, puts the car in gear, and we roar away towards our new home at the Old Alumni Inn.
Meet the new ruling class of High Court College.
Our motto is: They can’t ruin us if we ruin them first.
And that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

END OF BOOK SHIT
Welcome to the End of Book Shit. This is the part of the book where I get to say anything I want about the story. It’s not edited and there will probably be some typos, so please ignore that shit. This is mostly just about the message.
I started writing an EOBS for this book a few days ago because I need this final chapter before I can put the paperback up and then order author copies. And I was a little bit stuck on it. I had maybe a thousand words. But they didn’t feel like meaningful words, so I put it aside and did something else.
It’s always a good idea to put writing aside when the ideas aren’t flowing. You can keep going. I’ve done it before. And in the case of some writers, you can actually do a whole book like that. You really can pull words out of your ass and hit publish.
But it’s almost never worth it.
The real reason I was writing the EOBS that day was because I was working on book two, Ruling Class, and I was stuck. It wasn’t writer’s block. I don’t do writer’s block. I just didn’t have a good scene set up for the next chapter and I’ve been doing this whole writing thing long enough now to take a break when that happens and do something else.
But the EOBS for Bully King and the next chapter of Ruling Class are related. Same story. So neither of these projects were going anywhere.
It’s stressful to stop writing a story (or an EOBS) because everything I write has a deadline. And I’m constantly counting days and words to make that deadline. I’m on a tight deadline for Ruling Class so taking
