It has been a week since Mr Krupp's night visit. Ever since then, you have been terrified of him. You still loved him, but you couldn't help but feel paranoid that he might come after you if you do something wrong. He has been super possessive of you, threatening people who so much as looked in your direction. You thought this was sweet, but couldn't help feeling sorry for those he had threatened to get fired from their jobs or blackmailed with info he just so happened to have on hand.
He wasn't afraid to show his affection toward you. He would hold hands with you at seemingly random times and whisper sweet compliments and flirtatious jokes to you as he passes by your desk while interrupting your class to tell everyone to behave because you didn't deserve to put up with their bullhonkey. You were the world to him, and he would let everyone know. He didn't care what anyone thought. Not even George and Harold.
Ah, yes. George Beard and Harold Hutchins. They tormented you relentlessly about your crush on Mr Krupp before, but once they saw the person he was becoming, they warned you to stay away from him for fear that he might hurt you. You told them that it was very rude of them to say and after that they have been pulling all types of pranks to try to make Mr Krupp not love you anymore.
They surprised you with a razor to your head, leaving a bald spot, they sprayed you with a skunk, they poured buckets of blood on you, etc. But the last straw was then they hired the bullies of the school to gang up on you and beat you up till you were almost unrecognizable. All of those bullies disappeared while you were in the hospital.
Mr Krupp's attachment to you only grew as these boys tormented you. He had to constantly comfort you and tell you that he loved you and would protect you no matter what. Tonight, however, he had a plan to make everything alright.
